Hugs & Kisses : Uniko Floral card

 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!

Happy Crafting!

Enjoy Little Things : Power Poppy

 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!
Happy Crafting!
