Happy October Guys!

I have done a Flat Fall Bouquet using @everytuesday Teela’s tutorial. As always her tutorials are informative and easy peasy for a beginner to follow along. No prior knowledge of Procreate is necessary as every tutorial takes you through a doable pace of learning. Must say, Absolutely enjoying her tutorials. 

I love the transition to Digital art using Procreate which I purchased in 2019 and got to use only now  

Hope you like it!!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my blog visitors and crafty friends.

Whipped up a quick floral card using my favorite Noline coloring using Danielsmith watercolors Dotcard on Arches Cold pressed watercolor paper. First ever try using these combos and highly convinced by  the way the colors move.

Over to pics,

• Stamped Altenew’s Dahlia blossom using Antique linen DI on Arches cold pressed watercolor paper.
• Used Daniel smith watercolors of SSS Debby hughes  color palette for greens and Sharri carols palette for yellows and a tinge of orange for the shadows.
• Took Strathmore Tan paper is used for the stenciled base using Altenew class stripes stencil and Prima Modeling paste.
• Stenciled base is matted onto a white top fold cardbase.
• Fussy cut florals are added on the stenciled base with different dimensions for interest and yellow enamel dots as finishing touch.

Hi Friends!

During my June end to August Vacation at India, squeezed a lot of ME time amidst of my Family business and office works, and practiced Handlettering and Watercoloring florals.

Must say, every day i look forward for the evening time, to let my soul speak.

My little one would accompany me by smooshing his paint palette on his drawing book

And most of all, my dad would sit and watch patiently how we both do!!

Gonna share 3 projects per post

Hope you all like it!!

Simple watercolor wreath using Gansai tambi colors..and to mark the beginning of October, Autumn/ Fall season

Bit of calligraphy to go along with that! Hope you like it!

Yay!!! I never craft during my vacation at India…But this time, i wanna practice these newly learnt art forms, whenever i have little free time.

Truly i could see differences in my watercolor painting and acquired a bit confidence in brush strokes, as i mostly work with coloring stamped images, within boundaries.
This truly let my soul set free…

Hope you like it!!

More to come….Stay Tuned

Am here today with another floral creation, a card this time. Watercoloring is my recent crush and added to it my calligraphic attempts Am enjoying both equally

Today’s card is especially for the ongoing Altenew Challenge. The current inspiration challenge pic is such lovely and the beautiful colors made me to create this card.

• Gold heat embossed the florals and buds onto a watercolor paper and colored using my ever favorite Zig clean color brush pens and watercolored it.
• Onto a pattern paper, stamped the smaller florals and colored with Faber castle polychromos with a lighter touch, so as to keep the beauty of the pp.
• The pp is distressed at the edges using the scissors.
• This pp has a beautiful printed script which faded on the middle and had florals on the corner.
• The sentiment is such uplifting and i love to continue the same mood with the muted bg and 
•  a focal using bright florals at a corner.
• Fussy cut the watercolored florals and added using foam adhesives and few directly on the pp to create a dimension.
• Stamped the sentiment from the same set and splattered black soot distress ink.
• Added few clear droplets and matted this onto a A2 sized black top fold cardstock.

Head over to the blog to view the full pics.

How you all doing!

Days are lovely here as we enjoy super foggy mornings and chill weather at UAE.

2 months back i won Altenew FB giveaway and bought Bold and Blossom set, which reached my home few days back.

Yay!!! You got me right!

Watercolored those Roses using noline coloring technique, which am still in learning the nuances of it.

Am so in love with the colors here in the graphic.

• To create my card, took a watercolor cardstock, stamped outline Roses and Leaves, from Bold and Blossom set using Masking technique with a 3rd generation stamping using Archival ink.
• Colored using noline coloring technique with Zigclean color brush pens.
• Then fussy cut and kept ready to mount on a stenciled base card.
• Prima min art stones are sprinkled generously and to add bit more texture added a honeycomb chipboard and a cheesecloth, to which fussy cut florals are added.
• Left it as Sentiment-less card for now     

Hope you like this card
