CAS card : Canvas

~ Sathya ~ 8 Comments
Hi All,

Am back here with a non-floral card for today. CAS : Clean and Simple cards are not my forte as this heart loves all layered, textured stuffs more. I admire CAS artists a lot and their aesthetic way of playing with stamps, stencils, dies yet making the card look Fabulous with loads of white spaces.

My Mom is an Oil painting artist and my second half of name ‘Kala” refers to ‘Art’ in my Indian regional language. Learnt Music and Dance from my childhood yet ‘Art’ always reminds me of the colorful splatters of inks, paints, brushes.

Over to my card,

  • Took a 4×6″ white cardbase and using Mudra World stencil, dry embossed it.
  • Love the subtle embossed bg of world map.
  • Using Kaisercraft stains stamps, (Brand new in my stash) stamped the splatters using various Altenew inks.
  • In a canvas sheet, stamped the sentiment from Stamplorations ‘Art is’ stampset using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
  • Cut the sheet around the sentiment and frayed the edges for an added interest. 
  • No embellishments added to keep the focus on dry embossed bg and the sentiment.
Hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by!

  • Took a dark colored car base to match the florals, and applied Prima white crackle paste diagonally through Stamplorations Criss cross stencil.
  • After air drying it, added tinted gauze bits, beige lace bits in the floral spray and made it look dimensional.
  • Added dark pink micro balls on the laces, and few moss added randomly in bits.
  • Sentiment banner is distressed with pink pigment ink and added.
  • Few butterflies are fussy cut from Designer papers. These added along with few enamel dots to finish off the card.

Hi Friends!

 “Flowers feed the soul” How True!!

Today’s post is also a floral card…Oh yeah ..Smitten with Floral stamps these days..Enjoyed watercoloring and recently started with Alcohol markers: Chameleon markers. There is lot to learn and to improve and i absolutely love my experiments with it…

These peonies stamps are new in my stash, from Stampendous – Bouquet for you. Stamped onto drawing sheet using Momento black ink and colored using Chameleon marker: Crimson red. Highlights done by Fabercastell polychromes. Then its fussy cut and mounted onto a ivory A2 sized card base which is stenciled on bg with hickory smoke distress ink diagonally.

Sentiment is from IBS- Tulip Bouquet set.

Hope you like my amateur attempt at alcohol marker coloring.

Altered Box

~ Sathya ~ 6 Comments
Hi Friends!

Today’s post is about an Altered Box, originally a Mobile package box which i was religiously hoarding for more than 4 years now. It’s a cute white 6″ box. Made this project a week back and gifted to my Dear friend for her birthday. She was thrilled to see this!!

Now will see the process of the project!

  • Took the box with lid, and white gessoed it totally.
  • Stenciled the base with Prima grid stencil with Prima light paste.
  • Sprinkled LSG sweet treats magicals on the stenciled portion and spritzed water to see the magicals burst colors.
  • Then its layered in Cheesecloth on all four inner sides and on the base centrally.
  • Doily, paper straws, Roses, resins and and other embellishments are added with few random partial stampings around the image.
  • Mini and macro art stones are added for little extra textures.
  • Timholtz chitchat stickers are added to kraft cs and added near the image.
  • A pink adhesive ribbon is added to the outside portion of the lid.
  • And on top of the lid, Prima Princess pp is added.
  • This finishes off my Project.
Some angled and close up shots for you!

Hope you like it!
Happy Crafting!
