Splashy Mix April Challenge

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing my inspiration for the SPLASHY MIX CHALLENGES - Papercraft Challenge.

The color palette for my card is inspired by this months mood board.

Though challenging, I loved the outcome of the colors I chose.

Please visit the challenge blog here for amazing inspirations from my teamies & all the rules to play along the challenge.

For this card, I first created a background with 2 colors of distress inks - blueprint sketch & salty ocean on Neenah White card stock & added some splatters. The gold heat embossed image is from I Craft stamps, which is fussy cut.

The Triangle Challenge

Hello!

Crafty Milka has a very interesting challenge - the maths challenge & I just about managed to submit my entry!

To add triangles in my card I used distress inks! Seven triangles here in rainbow colors! To pop up the die cut sentiment (Paper Trey Ink die ) I chose the inlaid die cut technique.

Guest Designer - Crafty Boots Challenge

Good Morning!

Today I am Guest Designing for Crafty Boots Challenge, where the theme is MONOCHROME - you can use any materials you like to make anything you like, for example, a card, a box top, a gift bag, a scrapbook page, or an ATC, an inchie. I chose to make a card in a rather bold combination - black & orange, inspired by my card here. The stamped (Stampendous stamp) zinnia colored with distress inks is fussy cut & over laid on a card panel, the diagonal background of which is heat embossed. Here is another card using the same stamp in which I used Gansai Tambi watercolors for the zinnia.

Stenciled Mandala

Good Morning!

Indian Craft Room has a Tic Tac Toe challenge with a very interesting twist to use a mandala.

I started creating my mandala by using a stencil (MFT Concentric circles) & distress inks to get hennah colors. I then went crazy with all the tiny stamps I had, which were never used! I then die cut the panel with SSS stictched rectangle dies. This is the result of stenciling & stamping.
