Embossed watercolor card

Hello bloggers !

Welcome back to another little post :) 

I made this embossed card recently with a bit of water coloring using distress inks.
I am using one of the sketches from MFT website

 Moving the sketch a little bit with the shapes as well, here is what i made

I thought the sentiment seems apt for a love themed card :) but i wanted to use non traditional colors. 
 I just rubbed my ink pads on the embossing pad and sprayed some water on top and let the colors mix.

 After which i just ran it through my big shot with my card stock sandwiched in between.

 Love how it left the whites embossed . 

 I have also heat embossed the swirly die cut cardstock in gold. 

Love how it looks ! :)

Hope you all liked my simple but colorful card. 

Until soon !

watercolor landscape

Hi guys ! 

its been a while since i posted any Paintings 

here is a rather old one but i really enjoyed doing this :) 

its all in my fav medium 

Watercolors !!

somthing that was for the Last few pages of my Sketchbook for the sketchbook 

project , 

So here u go !

i 1st hand drew the landscape on the moleskin paper 

(of the sketchbook, yes the paper is a lil tricky but i loved every bit of it ! )

 and then let my artistic hands do the talkin :D 

 Can u see the shadow ?? 

over the sky

This landscape picture has taken a prominent space in my sketchbook ! 

Hope u like it , 

the sky and the tree is made with watercolors 

and the buildings are made with black ink pen. 

and wet with water to create a lil grey.

Happy painting !

This is another watercolor piece i did for my Journal ....

Its called explore

Every day u live ... u keep going with the flow ....

Lost in the crowd ...

just like everyone else ....

trying to fit in ...

The day i went Off tack ,

out of what was expected of me ...

I WAS FREE

No boundaries ... this is my way of life ...

i choose to explore...

Be the one to decide what happiness means to me...

                                           Be the One to choose my right and wrongs.... 

This is my way of life ....

I choose to explore

Sketchbook project 2011 - creation - in 5 mins

Here is something i did in 5 mins ....

Well u can say ...that m taking my theme way too literally :D

he he ..... but cant help it! its the art that's imp ! :)

i love it when simple ideas make things so beautiful !

this piece is all about HOPE !

I had a nice lil brainstorming , Gyaan giving- philosophical talk yesterday with a friend ... that got me thinking about how imp HOPE is ..... it keeps u going , if hope dries .... there is nothing left to a person ....

Upon that I remembered this amazing Quote

"sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up HOPE"

This same Quote is written in the piece that u see below
