Hi friends!!
Hope you are well.

It is an "Anything Stamping Goes" challenge with beautiful prizes on offer and you could win the chance to Guest Design & be published in the magazine, so please read the rules and do link up your gorgeous creations :) To visit the Craft Stamper blog, please click HERE.

For the inspiration, I've created a Clean & Simple (CAS) card inspired by  the Autumn Season. 

Here are a few photos of the card:

Synopsis of the Process:

I've used Neat & Tangled's Oaf leaf stamp here. Stamped the beautiful leaf and sentiment onto Canson Watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx black ink. Created an organic watercolor background using Gansai Tambi Watercolors. Made a few splatters and added a few Nuvo drops for dimension. The panel is matted in black with a scalloped rectangle die cut (using a Winnie & Walter die) and then foam mounted onto an A2 sized kraft card base.

Look forward to seeing your beautiful entries in Craft Stamper's TIMI challenge for October, all the details are on their blog, HERE. 

Thanks a lot for your precious time :)

Stay Blessed!

Post 252: CAS Card (Thank you)

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Card today. This is a standard A2 sized top folding card. I tried to use a stencil creatively here. You can find more info, ideas, tips and tricks for using stencils here. I've done ink blending with a floral design stencil using distress oxides. Did a bit of masking (with post-it notes) between the 2 flowers. Then added black ink splatter. Finished the card by embellishing with clear droplets.

Post 218: Floral Thanks Card

Hi friends :)

Hope you are having a good start to the weekend. I have spent most of my time crafting for the past couple of days. My desk and shelves have become messy because of all the projects. I will have to take the time to clear everything and sort through things so everything is better organized. A clean space helps me feel uncluttered and motivated to create. But I must admit, the cleaning and organizing part is difficult, time consuming and soo tiring! (therefore, I avoid it as long as possible). Ah well, you gotta do what you gotta do, eh? Also, I have a small crafty giveaway running through the month of July with 2 prizes on offer. Its open world-wide. In case, you are interested, all the details are here. 

Today, I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Floral card. This is a side folding 5 by 7 inch card. I stamped the script background on the oval panel (watercolor paper) with yellow archival ink with a Hero Arts stamp and then stamped some butterflies. (I wanted the tone on tone look with a bit of interest with respect to the scripty background.) Then I created a yellow water color wash using an aqua brush and zig markers. Then stamped the floral images from a Winnie & Walter stamp set. The sentiment is stamped on labels which were water colored in hues of pink and blue. Finished off the card with a few blue crystals. 

List of Supplies:

Hero Arts Wood Mounted Stamp- Artistic Butterflies 

Hero Arts Wood Mounted Stamp- (Background french script)

Hero Arts Clear Stamp- Month August (Sentiment)

Winnie & Walter Stamp-In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet with Joni Andaya (flowers) 

Ranger's Archival Inkpads- Magenta Hue, Manganese Blue and Chrome Yellow 

Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers

Aqua Brush

Canson Watercolor Paper

Lawn Fawn Small Dotted Rectangle Die (label)

DCAM Double Stitched Oval Die 

Iris white and blue cardstock 250 gsm 

Blue crystals

Tombow Mono Multi Glue 

                                               Here are a couple of photographs of the card:

I am playing along with the following challenges:

1. W & W June Color Challenge with Heather H. 

2. A Blog Named Hero- June Challenge (Floral)

3. SSS Wednesday Challenge- Summer Sunshine (Sunshine depicted by the yellow hues and background)
