Floral Water Colored Card for a Friend

Happy Monday Friends!

Welcome here again, with a water colored card made for a dear friend.

A simple card with lots of techniques. 

The lime & lemony background was made with gelatos & later embossed using the WRMK next level embossing folder.  I later sprayed the background with pearlized mist (kiwi).

The stamped (hero arts large blossom) card front is water colored with peerless water colors & the sentiment(Simon Says Stamp - Friendship messages) is heat embossed.

Can you see the effect of perfect pearls mist here?

Guest Designer @Stamplorations

Hi friends!

Sharing a tag I made as Guest Designer for Stamplorations. This card was selected a top pick at the January Challenge. Stamplorations has an amazing collection of stamps & stencils.

This month the theme is - 

And this is the sketch. 

You can use either the theme or the sketch for the challenge. For further  details please visit the post here. 

This is the tag I made -

For the background I used gelatos & randomly stenciled whipped spackle for some texture & added holograhic embossing powder over this for some shimmer. The highlight of the tag is a bold stamped sentiment. However, after coloring (with peerless watercolors) the beautiful digi that Shery sent me I decided to mute the stamped sentiment. So I tore a piece of vellum & glued it over this. Made some score lines on the vellum & added color to the distressed edge for added texture.

Here are some close ups of the tag - 

Do you notice the holographic shimmer here!

Thank you with Vellum flowers

Happy Monday friends!

I am rather active in Kathy Rac's Daily Marker Challenge this time around & share my coloring on Instagram here. For day 28 I heat embossed some W&W flowers in gold & colored them on the wrong side with gelatos (lemon & tangarine) - refer to the image below. 

Here is the card I made using the fussy cut flowers.

Fridge Magnet - Dream

Hello friends!

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend as much as I am!

Sharing a fridge magnet that resulted from a gessoed 4x4 canvas lying on my table for sometime.

For the background I grabbed my fav colors of gelatos from the same color family  & scribbled over the canvas. Next I got messy with my fingers to blend the colors. 

The dream catcher is a silhouette cut.  Added 'dream' (from a collage sheet) in the center & overlaid it with a glass cabochon for dimension. For shimmer I used the Wink of Stella clear over the dream catcher. Finally sealed the canvas with mod podge.

Art Journal page with Gelatos

Hello Friends!

Its not a card today but an art journal page that I'm sharing today. The current mixed media & art journal trend is catching up on me too & I went crazy with my gelatos & inks to make this very vibrant page!

I tried the baby wipe technique with gelatos, the one I used to make the bookmarks I shared a while ago. I also have a tutorial for this on the Lulupu blog here. 

Had a lot of fun stamping & stenciling on this page to create layers & textures!
