South Indians call their Mother as AMMA, and I grew up with my granny and lovingly call her MA. These words are SO much filled with emotions and must say, all my Creative Streaks are from both of them! Today’s card is dedicated to to them.
Over to my card,
My card features Pond Flowers Die Set.
Other products are:
Artists’ markers (Alcohol markers)
Poured Acrylics 6×6 paper pack
Fine Alphabets Die Set
Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp set
Framed Sentiments Die Set
Mix & Match Frames Die Set
I have die cut the pretty florals using Pond flowers Die set from coloured cardstocks and added depth and shadows using Artists’ Alcohol markers. Included white gel accents on leaves and floral die cuts for added interests. Created a shaker card using patterned paper from Poured Acrylics 6×6 pack for the Pond Die cut and added heart shaker elements with a frosty thick acrylic sheet on top to the pond die cut.
The word AMMA is also from the same patterned paper (used for the pond) using Fine Alphabet Die. All the florals and Word die cuts are assembled on top as shown here. The green focal panel is from same pp pack and its diecut using Mix & Match Frame Die set. It’s added using strong liquid adhesive. Sub sentiment is stamped on to pp and die cut using Framed Sentiments Die set and added just below the word AMMA. The focal panel is then added to the Off white card base to finish off the card.

Welcome back to new post for the midway point in the current challenge of The Flower Challenge . The theme is Make a Square card and for the theme I have done an inkblended focal piece and added few diecut hearts and an tiny acrylic heart for an added interest with a sentiment sticker.
Over to my card,
Took a 4×4″ white notecard as cardbase.
Took a 3 3/4″ white focal panel (Neenah white crest) and inkbended using DO – Worn lipstick and Squeezed lemonade.
Then when its air dried, dry embossed using SSSKIt-3D botanicals Timholtz Embossing folder for the gorgeous pattern.
Added Crafters companion heart dies for the diecuts using patterned paper and a small acrylic heart for an added interest with Timholtz small talk sentiment sticker is added on top as above.
The mattings are added to the top fold cardbase to finish off the card.
Hope you like this sweet simple card.

This time, used a brand new die set from my stash. Of course made use of my Gemini Junior (yet another new in my stash) which was lying for more than 1.5 yrs was put to use to diecut this beautiful intricate die set. Such a clean crisp cut in just one go!! It was too hard to photograph cards made of mirror cardstocks, tried my best not to cast shadows and got few decent clicks.
Over to my card,
Used Brutus Monroe ‘With Love’ Die set for the intricate diecut as well as the scripty word ‘love’ .
Made use of gold mirror cardstocks for the diecuts.
Love scripty word alone is diecut twice and doubled up to get an embossed effect.
These diecuts are added to A2 sized ivory white cardbase as shown.
Few store bought flowers in pink shades, embellishments like little hearts and pearls are added as accents.
Hope you like this sweet simple card.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my viewers and visitors here.
Whipped a quick card using my favorite Noline watercoloring. I love this stamp set called Forever in Love from Altenew for the beautiful roses and the wonderful sentiments.
Over to my card,
Did Noline watercoloring on the stamp – Forever in Love from Altenew.
Used Karin markers for coloring. These are highly vibrant juicy markers and so little colors goes a long way. I did a wet on wet coloring mostly for the larger petals and dry on wet for smaller petals.
Altenew’s Hot pressed Watercolor paper is the one used here and by far my favorite of all hot pressed watercolor papers I have used.
The focal panel is cut from Altenew’s Mix & Match Frames Die set.
The panel then matted over A2 sized top fold Olive green card base using foam adhesives.

Am sharing today my first card for the TFC blog and this month’s challenge is ‘Add a Heart’. Of course you need to add the flowers as focus plus add cute little hearts 🙂
Just like today’s card, on certain days the card making process is done in a jiffy. The elements fell in place with no much efforts and a card could be whipped in no time. Used these floral ephemeras and a beautiful sentiment diecut which was lying for ages in my stash.
Took a patterned paper matching my A2 sized top fold Avacado Cardbase.
The patterned paper was diecut using Gina Marie scalloped die.
Then its added to the cardbase using adhesive tape.
On the focal panel, the floral ephemeras and sentiment diecut is added.
Heart diecut and few enamel dots were added as accents.
Hope you like it!

Am here today to share a floral card made with new supplies in my stash. The cute rose stamp set – Shrub rose is the newest addition and it clubbed with the Watercolor Hot pressed paper from Artistry by Altenew. Made this card using the colors from April inspiration challenge 2023 of Altenew for their Year in Review Challenge 2023. I have chosen Joy Dsouza’s color palette and did noline watercoloring using Artistry by Altenew’s Watercolor tubes.
Over to my card,
Stamped Altenew’s Shrub rose stamp on to Artistry by Altenew’s Hot pressed Watercolor paper using Ink on 3 Noline coloring ink.
Colored using Artistry by Altenew’s Watercolor tubes – Toluidine Red and greens from my stash.
The diecut panel is from Mix and Match frames from Altenew onto which the berry branches is stamped.
The fussy cut floral images are liberally splashed with Artistry by Altenew’s Titanium White Gouache.
Sentiments are stamped from same stamp set using Versafine Onyx ink.
The panel is added to the A2 sized top fold Olive green card base using foam adhesives.
Then onto which the fussy cut images are added as shown.

It’s time for the reminder card at The Flower Challenge blog with the theme ‘Use Gold’. Made a card with floral noline copic coloring with few diecuts to jazz up the card. And for the gold part, I had used gold mirror cardstock and you can use gold embossing powder, gold glitter pen, gold stickles or anything that fancies you with florals as main focus.
Over to my card,
For today’s card, I had taken Stampendous Cling Christmas roses stamp set.
Did No line coloring using Copic ciao alcohol markers.
Fussy cut the image and liberally splashed it with white gouache for the wintery floral look.
Die cut Spellbinders Petite twisted oval from a patterned paper and onto it mounted an ornate diecut of Spellbinders using Gold mirror cardstock + White cardstock.
The focal panel and the florals are arranged as shown in pic over the Olive green A2 sized top fold cardbase which was notched at top corners.
SSS Holiday words on line – Joyful wishes Die (twice cut from white cardstock) is added on top of flowers for sentiment.
No embellishments added so as to keep the focus on the florals.
Hope you like it!
