Art Happiness | Mudra

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

 Hi Friends,

Am here to share a quick clean and simple card for today.

Over to my card,

I have been into Coloring mostly particularly flowers for a long time now. 

So planned to dig my stash to do a non-floral series of cards and without much Prisma coloring or Watercoloring.

Today’s card colouring focuses on ink smooshing by Watercolor markers. Love this loose style of coloring rather than doing elaborate No line coloring, which I usually opt for.

  • Took a piece of Canson watercolor cardstock and did a wet on wet coloring using Karin Brush markers.
  • After drying, stamped Mudra : Art Happiness stampset using Mudra Jet black ink pad.
  • Took a piece of white panel and diecut it using MFT Rec stax dies and dry embossed it using WRMK 3D embossing folder.
  • The colored panel too is diecut using smaller die from MFT Rec Stax dies.
  • The embossed focal panel is mounted over A2 sized black top fold cardbase and on it foam mounted the smaller diecut as focal panel.
Hope you like this super simple card!
Happy Crafting!
