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 Prima Card

Hello everyone !

Welcome back to my blog , I have been creating cards this month as i have had a bit of (unexpected) time on hand ! Which is great :) 

So inspired by the Prima PPP picture

I created the following Tall card. 

 Ive had this lovely bloom girl stamp for ages ! 

But never really used it , but i decided to take it out and give it a try :) 

I love how it turned out. 

 I have used Prima flowers and lots of dies and some copper crackle texture paste for the mixed media backround. 

I have used watercolor pencils here on Prima watercolor paper. 

And a bit of gesso for the white shading 

Wasnt able to capture it properly but the eyes and lips are glossed up with glossy accents. 

Hope you enjoyed my card

Textured tag

Hello everyone ! 

This is my 3rd post of the week .... Kinda fun actually :) 

I made another tag !

Recently i won some wonderful Finnabair art extravagance texture pastes from Prima. 

I totally went crazy over them ! Love the texture and the look they have when they dry. 

So here is my tag 

Well what do u think ? 

I really enjoyed making this one it was done in about 2 hours tops. 

2 hours also because i didnt use a heat gun. 

so if you are wondering where the texture paste is 

 Its underneath all the embellishments. 

I started with inking the tag with spiced marmalade distress ink and then i sprinkled some water over it .

After it dried i used Finnabair's Art extravagance texture paste -White sand with a stencil.

  You can see how this texture paste is drying almost clear and has that lovely sand grain effect ! 

I totally love the texture and the fact that i can see through the paste ! 

i would totally suggest this to anyone ! 

Another great thing is it has gluing properties , so if you had to add texture and then add some buttons or sparkles or something else on top of all that texture it would really stay in place when it dries. 

Here is how i pretty much constructed my Background.

 The flowers are handmade. Again i have used some texture paste on top of it to give it that rock candy look.

 I love to use Tulle to make my bows its so dreamy !!

 So thats about it from me today ! Hope that you like my work !

thank you !!! 

Hugs
