"It is a girl" card #ReusewithKrafttime Day 24

Hi all,
I am here with a quick post today.
I wanted to do some sketch challenge cards so thought I will take up the peek a boo designs card sketch for inspiration.
Here is my card first and the corresponding sketch.

I created a bokeh effect on the base panel with picked raspberry distress ink and white versa craft ink.
I added a heavy lace knot on the border and stamped a stork with a bundle from peek a boo stamp set. I layered it using an offset fashion.

I have stamped "It is a girl" sentiment from the same stampset.

Let me know what you think folks

Hi all,
 I have a quick post today and sharing one of my favourites so far! I recently hauled a lattice die cut from Peek-a-boo designs and was super excited when I received it. THe moment I got it I wanted to try it on a project immediately.  Here it is!

I cut the pattern on a kraft CS and saved those tiny pieces for another project! They are too cute an embellishment to lose. I then stamped the sentiment , also from Peek-a-boo, on to another kraft CS with versafine black ink and highlighted the border using a silver gel pen. I added handmade flowers as embellishment in 3 colors yellow, blue and red.

Here is another close up. What do you all think?

Hi all,

Today I am sharing two cards that I made using the “Chriping Away” stamp set that I won from the Peek-a-boo Designs Giveaway. First up, Many many thanks to Vidushi Saraf  for sending me this super cute stamp set which has 15 stamps in it!! Can you believe my luck winning this J . This stampset is designed by the extremely talented Deepti Stepens.

For first card I repeatedly stamped the flying bird multiple times in a circle and colored them using  mustard seed DI and color pencild. Then stamped the sentiment "Flying by to say Hello" fromt he same set!

For the next card, I wanted to have the same elements but wanted to try a different technique. So took the same flying bird stamp and reverse stamped it on to the card [It ends up as a second generation stamp] Then I stamped the image as in next to the cutie birdie. Now it looks like they are two birds in love!!!! Added a heart to show the love :) The brances were repeatedly stamped to create a tree effect.

I am in so much love with this stampset. There are infinite possibilities that you can create with this. I will be using this very frequently for sure !!!!

Thank you once again Vidu for this wonderful gift.

Peek-a-Boo Designs – Chirping Away Stampset

Hi all,

Today I am sharing two cards that I made using the “Chriping Away” stamp set that I won from the Peek-a-boo Designs Giveaway. First up, Many many thanks to Vidushi Saraf  for sending me this super cute stamp set which has 15 stamps in it!! Can you believe my luck winning this J . This stampset is designed by the extremely talented Deepti Stepens. 

 

The first card is a lovely sunny morning scene that I created using Distress Mini Kit #1 for the background. I stamped the Gate, branches and leaves and two cute birdies from the stampset. I colored the images using watercolor pencils. The birdies were colored , fuzzy cut and then adhered using foam tapes for extra dimension. To go along with the background, I chose the sentiment “Wishing you a sunny day”.

For the next card, I wanted to have the same elements but a different time setting, so chose a night scene. In comes the house and the birdies have gone to sleep :P I added some tiny flowers on the branches and leaves and stars on the night sky. For this card I chose the sentiment “Find Beauty in EVERYDAY LIFE”. It went so well with the simple down-to-earth elements.

I am in so much love with this stampset. There are infinite possibilities that you can create with this. I will be using this very frequently for sure !!!!

Warm Birthday Wishes - Masking Technique Tutorial

Hi all,
I have a super cool project to share with your all today :)

Colorful Stamped Bookmark

Here is a step by step tutorial for this card :)

Here is what I started off with,

• A piece of folded CS in dark green color
• Plain white Neenah CS 
• Post it Notes for masking
• Love Stamps from Varnas
• Distress Inks Kit #1
• Washi Tape for masking
• Cotton for distressing [I donot have any blending tool as of now, so blend using cotton balls :)]
• Mini Butterfly stamp from HOTP small stampset
• Happy Birthday sentiment from same set
• Crochet thread

First up I stamped the heart onto a few post-it notes and cut it out for masking process
Then I adhered washi tape to the centre of CS and masked off the area for adding sentiment

I started off by stamping the heart off the CS. Now mask off the stamped portion using a mask cut out 

Stamp the next image. I continued this process and created a diagonal set using 'mustard seed' DI .

Next i did the same with 'spiced marmalade' DI on the top portion of yellow, and with 'picked raspberry' DI ont he bottom portion.

Finished off with 'peacock feathers' DI on the corners.

Once the entire stamping was done, i blended the same DIs on co ordinating areas.

I stamped some butterflies using 'red' pigment ink and fuzzy cut it. I removed off all masks including the washi tape and stamped "Birthday Wishes" sentiment on to the clean area.

Finished off by adding some thread in coordinating color and adding some butterflies. 

Adheres the finished piece to the CS

I made a maching embellishment sticker in coordinating colors and theme. This stamp is also from Varnas

This can be attached to any of your items on your desk or your notebook/artjournal etc.

Here is a colorful bookmark to go with the card. Doesn't it look yummy..If you thought it is stenciling you are wrong guys... It is created using a diy handmade eraser stamp and distress inks. WHat do you think of it guys!
