Warm Greetings to All,

Am totally thrilled to be part of Altenew Celebrating Parents Card Drive 2024.

Thank you so much, Altenew for this Awesome opportunity.

You would have arrived from Yoosun Hur ‘s blog. Hop over to the Altenew blog to check all the stops and beautiful cards churned by the Wonderful Artists around the world.

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.

And now for the exciting part!! Giveaway!!

The Flower Challenge #89 | Square Inkblended Card | Reminder | Dry Embossing

March 15, 2024March 14, 2024 ~ Sathya ~ 6 Comments

Hi Friends,

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.
