Post 320: Sparkly Birthday Card

Hi friends!

I'd like to share a Sparkly Birthday Card I made inspired by the Craftyscrappers Challenge. For the sparkle I have added gold foil and gold glitter paper.

I used foil for the first time. Basically used the Craftyscrappers Color Splash Stencil and added tacky glue through it and then the gold foil. It didn't transfer completely but I really like the splashy gold effect it gave :) then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Craftyscrappers Doodly Blooms stamp all over the panel as well as a few pink hearts from the Beary Special Day stamp. I really like that cute baby image. My niece helped me by coloring it in using Zigs :) it was so much fun crafting with her. Then added the arrow stencil design on the pink heart and layered up everything. In the end, we added 3 tiny half pearls to the baby's crown. 

Supplies Used:

Craftyscrapper Fun Foils- Glitzy Gold
Craftyscrappers Stamps- Baby Prince & Princess, Doodly Blooms & Beary Special Day
Craftyscrappers Stencils- The Arrow & Color Splash
Gina Marie Stitched Rectangles Die
Sizzix heart die
White and Baby Pink Cardstock
3d Foam Tape
Gold Glitter Paper
Tacky Glue
Archival Inkpad - Jet Black
Distress Oxide Inkpad- Worn Lipstick
Snippet of watercolor paper (stamped the baby on it) and pink cardstock (die cut the heart)
Ranger blending tool and foams
Half Pearls

Here are a few photos of the card:

Post 313: Mixed Media Card (Fine Day)

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Card today. This was made for my Guest Design Post at Madras Bazaar. All the details can be checked out here. The sentiment reads "Wish you a Fine Day" I was inspired by a few challenges to make this card. I've used dried twigs and leaves as natural elements here as well as alphabet gem stickers "fine day" for part of the sentiment. For sparkle I've added glitter and sequins.

Supplies & Process:

1. For this card which measures 4 by 7 inches, I used snippets of cardstock, gauze, jute twine, dried twigs & leaves. Adhered all the elements to the card using Prima's matte gel

2. Added Prima's modeling paste through a Craftyscrappers Stencil- The Arrow for added texture 

3. Stamped the background with Black Archival ink using Craftyscrappers Butterfly Kisses Stamp 

4. Applied Prima's heavy white gesso on the elements and once it was dry, added color using the Madras Bazaar Pearl Ink Sprays- Charcoal Black & Shock Blue 

5. Added flowers to the composition including the Craftyscrappers Fabric Rose big- Sky Blue, dry brushed some white gesso on them and then for sparkle using soft gloss gel added some Madras Bazaar Fine Glitter- Diamond Crystal 

6. In the end, added the sentiment with Tim Holtz stickers & Gem Stickers and more sparkle with Madras Bazaar Sequins- Ocean Breeze

Here are some photos of the card:

Post 213: CAS One Layer Card: Snarky Love

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple One Layer Card today. This is a standard A2 size top folding card. This is a snarky love card :) the first one I've made. The sentiment is quite fun I think, it reads, "I love you more than Coffee. (but please don't make me prove it)". I've kept the color palette bright, happy and summery with the yellows and oranges.

I sponged 2 distress oxide inks through a splatter design stencil and created the yellowish-orangish blobs of colors. Then stamped the sentiments in brown archival ink. I thought of stamping the snarky sentiment on the bottom right to look as a post script :)

List of Supplies:

Reverse Confetti Stamp- For the Love of Latte
Distress Oxide Inkpads- Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade
Ranger's round blending tool and foam
Ranger's Archival Ink- Potting Soil
Craftyscrappers Stencil- Color Splash
White Cardstock 250 gsm

Here are a couple of photographs of the card:
