Hugs & Kisses : Uniko Floral card

~ Sathya ~ 6 Comments

 Hiya Friends!

Am loaded with Guest Designing projects for next month and so squeezed in a bit of time for my personal project to play along few challenges in Blogland.

Over to my project,

Absolutely love pencil coloring as much as I love watercoloring. I love to experiment with different mediums and this peony bud was one of my favorite from Uniko stamps. I was using the large peony floral many a times and neglecting this small peony and today was the perfect time to do Pencil coloring with Prisma colored pencils.

  • Stamped on a fine grain watercolor cardstock using Antique Linen to do a online coloring using prisma colored pencils.
  • Colored using various shades of pinks and greens of Prisma colored pencils.
  • Splattered white acrylics over the floral liberally.
  • Stamped the sentiment from same stampset using Mudra Mai Jet black ink pad.
  • Matted over a black cardstock and then to a kraft A2 cardbase.
  • Few clear dew droplets and paper pieced butterflies to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!

Enjoy Little Things : Power Poppy

~ Sathya ~ 3 Comments

 Hi Friends!

Made a card today using a digital stamp , Trumpet Vine Visitor from Power Poppy.

This Trumpet vine digital took me back to my cherished childhood memories. We have a huge Honeysuckle Vine trellis in my garden. It’s bright inflorescence is such a sight to watch in our Indian Summer for its beauty of vivid reddish orange flowers filled with Bees and butterflies. 

I framed the beautiful sentiment with florals in a delightful way. It’s one of my favorite quote from the  Wildflower Mini digital stampset .

Over to my card,

  • Printed the vine onto a watercolor cardstock with grayscale to attempt No line watercoloring using Karin Brushmarkers Pro.
  • Topped the watercoloring with Prisma colored pencils for the shadows.
  • Matted the panel onto a black cardstock and topped over a card, bit larger than A2 sized cardbase.
  • Few clear dew droplets are added as accents.
Hope you like it!

Kindness : Floral card

~ Sathya ~ 7 Comments

 Hiya Crafty peeps,

Back here again with a floral card. Current challenges in blogland inspired me to do today’s card.

Made use of a new Sizzix Embossing folder : Botanicals, a birthday gift from my dearest crafty pal, Jasleen.

Tried watercoloring over it, as I absolutely love the way the colors bleed and blend on Watercolor cardstocks. 

Karin markers are my birthday gift from my DH and this card demanded using it. It’s so magical to see the way it works beautifully on Canson Montval watercolor paper. 

It’s my first time watercoloring over Embossing folder. 

Over to my card,

  • Dry embossed the watercolor cardstock using Sizzix Botanicals Embossing Folder.
  • Watercolored it using my new crafty stash addition : Karin markers. Love using it!!
  • Added white paint splatters over the panel.
  • Trimmed to fit A2 sized top fold cardbase.
  • Added the Hero Arts Kindness sentiment vellum strip over the embossed panel.
  • Mounted onto black A2 sized cardbase.
  • Few clear dew droplets added as accents.
Hope you like it!
