Creating a mixed media is an attractive, fulfilling process but most of the time I find myself not having enough patience or inspiration or material for it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-87kYo5Hypaw/Vx1K0ACoyDI/AAAAAAAAak0/aYnqUATp81Iw4jUP7VlaYRyGj8WNnB7vQCLcB/s1600/Canvas%2Bmixed%2Bmedia_%2BMemory%2Bbox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="491" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-87kYo5Hypaw/Vx1K0ACoyDI/AAAAAAAAak0/aYnqUATp81Iw4jUP7VlaYRyGj8WNnB7vQCLcB/s640/Canvas%2Bmixed%2Bmedia_%2BMemory%2Bbox.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />This one is made using amalgamation of different stamp brands and colors. I first applied gesso on the canvas panel. I used Distress Crayons set-1 for the background. I loved using crayons to create quick colorful background. Applying them with figures is really fun! I used Penny Black's Stencil with Ranger's texture paste. I added texture over the paste with a pin. Once it dried, I applied and smudged crayons over the flowers. Later, I stamped different elements with Kaisercraft's texture stamp, Altenew's Hennah Elements in background, stenciled black dotes with Heidi Swapp's stencil. With Embossing Pen, I added vertical, embossed golden lines. The stamped sentiment is from My Favorite Things' Cheerful Blessings stamp set, the butterflies are from Altenew's Wild Hibiscus stamp set. I added diecut branches from, believe it or not, Elyse Christmas Tree die of Memory Box. I love to use pieces of this exquisite Christmas tree diecut many times as foliage.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vob_1KuQg8w/Vx1LCNDUTUI/AAAAAAAAak4/_W1nduFOFoY-uu1vgCYm4yOSSv7NbM8iACLcB/s1600/Canvas%2Bmixed%2Bmedia_%2BMemory%2Bbox%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vob_1KuQg8w/Vx1LCNDUTUI/AAAAAAAAak4/_W1nduFOFoY-uu1vgCYm4yOSSv7NbM8iACLcB/s640/Canvas%2Bmixed%2Bmedia_%2BMemory%2Bbox%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I guess, it turned out well.

If you color with pencils first and add water, it creates nice gradient, almost like that can be created with Zig's Clean Clear brush markers. The sentiment is from Avery Elle's latest die set.

They are having monthly challenge for this month on 'watercolours'.<br /><br />Here, I have used similar set of supplies for all to create different looks. I love frames. I am not sure what makes them more attractive to me. But they are often part of many of my design ideas. This time I decided to used multiple small frames in combination with floral focus. So, I decided to use <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Stitched-Dies/c/16386538/offset=0&sort=normal" target="_blank">My Favorite Things' Stitched Stax Dies</a>- <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/MFT-Die-namics-STITCHED-RECTANGLE-Stax-Dies/p/59671810/category=16386538" target="_blank">Rectangles</a> and Circles with <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Altenew-STRIPED-FLORAL-Clear-Stamp-Set/p/58747060" target="_blank">Altenew's Striped Floral stamp se</a>t.<br /><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1779447462"></span><span id="goog_1779447463"></span><br />I embossed the images on <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Artists-Loft-9-x-12-Watercolor-Paper-Pad-300gsm/p/60200089" target="_blank">Artist Loaf's 140lb watercolor paper</a> with clear embossing powder. I used <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=distress inks&offset=0&sort=relevance" target="_blank">Distress Inks</a> and <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=prima pencil&offset=0&sort=relevance" target="_blank">Prima Marketing's Watercolor Pencils</a> to colour the images, I then cut them. I embossed some leaf images directly on front panel.<br /><br />I used two die-sets to create different sized windows in different orientation on the front panel. I embossed a stitched frame around these windows with dies one size larger. I used embossing folders to emboss the cardbase to have textured background peeking through these windows.<br /><br />For final assembly, I used foam sheets and tape under front panels to enhance effect of windows, adhere them with double-sided tape, added coloured floral elements. The sentiments are from Altenew's Label Love stamp set. Lastly, I added dots in center of flowers and on front panel.<br /><br /><b>Card 1: </b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-okueWpk-1wU/VtfFUAWll0I/AAAAAAAAX-E/AhcXw1BcUHE/s1600/card%2B1.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-okueWpk-1wU/VtfFUAWll0I/AAAAAAAAX-E/AhcXw1BcUHE/s640/card%2B1.JPG" width="452" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Colours used: <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=distress inks&offset=0&sort=relevance" target="_blank">Distress Inks</a>- Dried Marigold, Peeled Paint, Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet. <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=prima pencil&offset=0&sort=relevance" target="_blank">Prima Marketing Watercolor Pencils</a>- No. 32 (Bright Pink)<br />Dies: My Favorite Things- Stitched Staxs Circles (die-cutting+ embossing)<br />Embossing folder: The Paper Studio-- Quaterfoil</blockquote><br /><b>Card 2:</b><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T4UEgRAMuzk/VtfFp7_HtPI/AAAAAAAAX-M/0thyLOTwWjo/s1600/card%2B2_6%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T4UEgRAMuzk/VtfFp7_HtPI/AAAAAAAAX-M/0thyLOTwWjo/s640/card%2B2_6%2Bcopy.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Colours used: <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=distress inks&offset=0&sort=relevance" target="_blank">Distress Inks</a>- Dried Marigold, Peeled Paint, Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet. <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=prima pencil&offset=0&sort=relevance" target="_blank">Prima Marketing Watercolor Pencils- No. 32 (Bright Pink)</a><br />Dies: <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/MFT-Die-namics-STITCHED-RECTANGLE-Stax-Dies/p/59671810/category=16386538">My Favorite Things- Stitched Staxs Rectangles </a>(die-cutting+ embossing)<br />Embossing folder: Cuttlebug- <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Cuttlebug-TINY-BUBBLES-Embossing-Folder/p/59671826" target="_blank">Tiny Bubbles</a></blockquote><br /><b>Card 3:</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ldc6enfhK3U/VtfF6a9wk-I/AAAAAAAAX-g/f_AtQQq_6Js/s1600/card%2B3_4.JPG" imageanchor="1"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2migWhFa8js/VtfGCqEwshI/AAAAAAAAX-w/skQW0E6Cp3k/s1600/card%2B3_2%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v0plQsl0HUI/VtfGVQ0fO7I/AAAAAAAAX_E/9n8ZgKy0yCs/s1600/card%2B3_7.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jXvhDJtQOQs/VtfGami16MI/AAAAAAAAX_M/2vXxUxLXx0o/s1600/card%2B3_6.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jXvhDJtQOQs/VtfGami16MI/AAAAAAAAX_M/2vXxUxLXx0o/s640/card%2B3_6.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ldc6enfhK3U/VtfF6a9wk-I/AAAAAAAAX-g/f_AtQQq_6Js/s1600/card%2B3_4.JPG" imageanchor="1"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2migWhFa8js/VtfGCqEwshI/AAAAAAAAX-w/skQW0E6Cp3k/s1600/card%2B3_2%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1"><br /></a></div><blockquote class="tr_bq">Colours used: <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=distress inks&offset=0&sort=relevance" target="_blank">Distress Inks</a>- Candied Apple, Dried Marigold, Peeled Paint, Twisted Citron <br />Dies: <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/MFT-Die-namics-STITCHED-RECTANGLE-Stax-Dies/p/59671810/category=16386538">My Favorite Things- Stitched Staxs Rectangles</a> (die-cutting+ embossing)<br />Embossing folder: <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Darice-BRICK-Embossing-Folder/p/58603587" target="_blank">Darice- Brick Pattern</a></blockquote>Enjoy!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Affiliate links are used.</span></div>Purvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00322324005902716912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303332669418974878.post-7572465205356955762016-02-28T21:41:00.000-05:002016-02-28T21:48:48.356-05:00Persian Motifs: Blue & BlackHello,<br /><br />I couldn't resist creating one more card before current Altenew challenge closes. I have been working with black cardstock for last few days and I had one more idea to create a card that matched with the challenge.<br /><br />Here is the card.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V0RH1JWWMh8/VtOj2557CBI/AAAAAAAAX1I/Jdw8YJ49QWE/s1600/altenew%2Bblog%2B3_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V0RH1JWWMh8/VtOj2557CBI/AAAAAAAAX1I/Jdw8YJ49QWE/s640/altenew%2Bblog%2B3_2.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><br />I wanted to try Martha Stewart all-over-the-page punch for creating filigree like look. I punched out two columns and attached the back cardstock over a shimmer cardstock with foam tape and a foam sheet. On a vellum piece, I stamped Altenew's Persian Motifs, white embossed and colored them with Spectrum Noir Alcohol inks- GG1, IB3, BT6, CG3 and OR2. I added the sentiment in white embossing and attached pearls for added interest.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NPspB1v5SJ4/VtOspYFH67I/AAAAAAAAX14/vrbDNi3HvHQ/s1600/altenew%2Bblog%2B3_1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NPspB1v5SJ4/VtOspYFH67I/AAAAAAAAX14/vrbDNi3HvHQ/s640/altenew%2Bblog%2B3_1.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><br />I loved the punched out panel, I am going to use that punch more often now.<br /><br />Let me know how it turned out.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://altenewblog.com/2016/02/01/february-challenge-places-abroad-cyprus/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X1NBVQY9uW8/VtOt-A3djYI/AAAAAAAAX2Q/RIFbpm_BBkQ/s200/0124_photoinspiration.jpg" width="200" /></a><b>Submitted to:</b><br /><b><br /></b>1. <a href="http://altenewblog.com/2016/02/01/february-challenge-places-abroad-cyprus/">Altenew- February Challenge</a><br /><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-24/"><br /></a><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-24/">2.

For the main focus, I tried to arrange the various pieces of the Butterfly Tendrils die-cuts in wreath form. I die-cut white cardstock 4 times with this die. I coloured various components using Tropical Gelatos but rubbing the creamy colours on the paper and then smudging them with a finger. I like that it is very quick and dry as well as fun method to apply colour. You can use Gelatos as watercolors too! I used black cardstock for good contrast, embossed it with woodgrain embossing folder and sprinkled some pearlized water.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qb_ckJ3feU0/Vs-ia4ZhaWI/AAAAAAAAIMg/dRbgxzhh_mg/s1600/sss%2Bcard%2B1_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Tendrils " border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qb_ckJ3feU0/Vs-ia4ZhaWI/AAAAAAAAIMg/dRbgxzhh_mg/s640/sss%2Bcard%2B1_4.jpg" title="" width="500" /></a></div><br />It took some time to orient and organize different pieces to create a wreath shape. I built it up from bottom up and trimmed the die-cut pieces accordingly. I adhered them with double sided tape and Glossy Accent. I added Gold Embroidery floss for added interest. I added Glossy Accents on red berries and Platinum Pearl coloured- Liquid Pearls on butterflies.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">I wanted to add a sentiment in the center, which I created with two layers of Vellum pieces, die-cut with Stitched Circle die, stamped with Simon Says Stamp’s stamp and embossed in white. I added Inca Gold’s Gold on edges of the circle die cut. Lastly, I adhered everything on a white, vertical cardbase.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;">-----</div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Card 2:</b><br /><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The second card has metallic look. I have Metallic Gelatos, I love them. I have been thinking of using them in a way that show their metallic characteristics. I wanted to try them on black card stock. Butterfly tendrils die-cuts in black provided perfect opportunity to try this. Again, I cut 3-4 tendrils from black cardstock. I applied Pearl Metallic Gelato on them. For some colour variation, I used Tropical Gelatos over it at some places and blended them with a finger. That creates colourful but soft metallic appearance.<o:p></o:p><br /><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sRTVFEHK-Ho/Vs-ib25YrMI/AAAAAAAAIMs/Ndcqt31EcaU/s1600/sss%2Bcard%2B2_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Tendrils " border="0" height="406" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sRTVFEHK-Ho/Vs-ib25YrMI/AAAAAAAAIMs/Ndcqt31EcaU/s640/sss%2Bcard%2B2_2.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I partially embossed black cardstock with Brick Wall embossing folder. The sentiment is cut from DCWV Foiled Cardstock using Simon Says Stamp’s Happy Birthday Die. I cut a contrasting cardstock piece from Craft Smith’s Tea Party Designer Paper. I arranged and adhered various pieces of butterflies and flourishes with foam tape, double-sided tape and Glossy Accents and added Pearl coloured- Liquid Peals on butterflies. Lastly, I added whole panel on to a grey, horizontal card base.<o:p></o:p><br /><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;">-----</div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Card 3:</b><br /><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">After these two cards, I had a lot of negative die-cut pieces left. So, I decided to use them as stencils. On a black card base, I applied Metallic Melon, Icing and Mint colours lightly with a sponge. I had another die-cut in black on which I applied in different colours Metallic Blueberry and Gold Champagne with a finger. On black cardstocks- applying metallic Gelatos with finger gives better, brighter result than sponging or watercolouring. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sz6sYtTa6WY/Vs-idjvHdNI/AAAAAAAAIM8/mbt1AUd_Spc/s1600/sss%2Bcard%2B3_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Tendrils " border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sz6sYtTa6WY/Vs-idjvHdNI/AAAAAAAAIM8/mbt1AUd_Spc/s640/sss%2Bcard%2B3_2.jpg" title="" width="482" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6yun4NZnhck/Vs-izJGN8uI/AAAAAAAAINE/L30TiaXeVP0/s1600/sss%2Bcard%2B3_6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Tendrils " border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6yun4NZnhck/Vs-izJGN8uI/AAAAAAAAINE/L30TiaXeVP0/s320/sss%2Bcard%2B3_6.jpg" title="" width="268" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />I arranged the die-cut under and over a Stitched rectangle with foam adhesive.

However, I had happy moments and proud achievements in between, and I also found time to participate in #thedailymarker30days coloring challenge on many days.<br /><br />I have made two cards inspired by <a href="http://altenewblog.com/2016/02/01/february-challenge-places-abroad-cyprus/" target="_blank">Altenew's February Challenge</a>.<br /><br />Card 1: This one is stamped with Persian Motif stamp set and colored with Peerless Watercolors and Prima Marketing's watercolor pencils. I have applied Inca Gold's Gold at some places and on the sentiment to add shimmer on the card and to match with gold foiled die-cuts.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M3cp2DiALvg/Vs9c1RN27MI/AAAAAAAAIKo/SdqbuBLIKeM/s1600/altenew%2Bchallenge%2Bblog%2B1_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M3cp2DiALvg/Vs9c1RN27MI/AAAAAAAAIKo/SdqbuBLIKeM/s320/altenew%2Bchallenge%2Bblog%2B1_1.jpg" width="256" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C-RJwqW8E88/Vs9c0MUtKNI/AAAAAAAAIKc/AlpSjstaXH8/s1600/Altenew%2Bblog%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C-RJwqW8E88/Vs9c0MUtKNI/AAAAAAAAIKc/AlpSjstaXH8/s320/Altenew%2Bblog%2B4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />That covered the color combination in the Altenew's challenge photograph. I also wanted to have similar filigree element in my card. So, I went through my stamp and die collections and found an Inkadinkado 'inchie' stamp and a Spellbinder's Majesty die set. I did second and third generation stamping with the inchie stamp in black ink. I divided the diecut in two to add in opposite corners.<br />The sentiment is cut with a Simon Says Stamp's die.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3RZofH2Yig0/Vs9c2Kvy4tI/AAAAAAAAIKw/mmgzqA2kHqg/s1600/altenew%2Bchallenge%2Bblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3RZofH2Yig0/Vs9c2Kvy4tI/AAAAAAAAIKw/mmgzqA2kHqg/s640/altenew%2Bchallenge%2Bblog.jpg" width="504" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Card 2: I hand painted some absract, shaded squares on the front panel with black watercolor. On a separate watercolor paper, I stamped, colored and then cut Hennah Element stamp set's pointed flowers. I added splatter with Inca Gold and black color. I have been becoming a fan of Inca Gold- Gold, I can add gold metallic color to any surface with it! Diecuts in gold foiled cardstock are cut using the smallest die from Spellbinder's Majesty die-set. The sentiment is from Altenew's Oriental Orchid stamp set.

For me, bright red and gold goes well together, and they make a perfect combination for glamour as well as traditional festivity.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ouptinGD2ZU/VrbT11JIRAI/AAAAAAAAH2M/5wdFGDKBlwI/s1600/cluster%2Bleaves%2Bblog%2B8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ouptinGD2ZU/VrbT11JIRAI/AAAAAAAAH2M/5wdFGDKBlwI/s640/cluster%2Bleaves%2Bblog%2B8.JPG" width="456" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br />So, I decided to try a combination of <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Tim-Holtz-Distress-MINI-INK-KIT-15/p/58632306" target="_blank">Ranger's </a><a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Tim-Holtz-Distress-MINI-INK-KIT-15/p/58632306" target="_blank">Candied Apple Distress Ink</a> and <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Viva-Decor-GOLD-Inka-Gold-Paint/p/58603607" target="_blank">Gold- Inka Gold </a>colors. The Candied Apple has dark red, vibrant tone without overly distracting brightness. I used <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Artists-Loft-9-x-12-Watercolor-Paper-Pad-300gsm/p/60200089" target="_blank">Artist's Loft's 140lb watercolor paper</a> for the front panel. First, I put down some <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Tim-Holtz-Distress-MINI-INK-KIT-15/p/58632306" target="_blank">Candied Apple ink </a>on a clean, packaging plastic. Then I dropped water mixed <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Viva-Decor-GOLD-Inka-Gold-Paint/p/58603607" target="_blank">Viva Decor's</a> <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Viva-Decor-GOLD-Inka-Gold-Paint/p/58603607" target="_blank">Inka Gold Gold colo</a><a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Viva-Decor-GOLD-Inka-Gold-Paint/p/58603607" target="_blank">r</a> here and there into it with a brush. I put the watercolor paper over these colors on plastic and by pressing and slightly rotating the paper, I allowed colors to mix underneath and cover more area of the paper.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R7JKoRghpzk/VrbUmRM5qwI/AAAAAAAAH2o/596uWVG93Q0/s1600/poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R7JKoRghpzk/VrbUmRM5qwI/AAAAAAAAH2o/596uWVG93Q0/s640/poster.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I let it dry and then die-cut it with <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/MFT-Die-namics-STITCHED-RECTANGLE-Stax-Dies/p/59671810/category=16022980" target="_blank">My Favorite Things' Stitched Rectangle Dies</a>. Meanwhile, I diecut leaves from Neenah's Paper using <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Simon-Says-Stamp-CLUSTERED-LEAVES-Craft-Die/p/59417613" target="_blank">Simon Says' Clustered Leaves D</a><a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Simon-Says-Stamp-CLUSTERED-LEAVES-Craft-Die/p/59417613" target="_blank">ie</a>.

I also embossed the sentiment from <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Altenew-ORIENTAL-ORCHID-Clear-Stamp-Set/p/58747057" target="_blank">Altenew's Oriental Orchid Stamp</a> set with <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Ranger-WHITE-Embossing-Powder-1oz/p/58632297" target="_blank">White Embossing Powder</a> on die-cut <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Grafix-WHITE-MARBLE-Vellum-11x8-5in-12-pack/p/58603627" target="_blank">vellum</a>. Not only I like the words and fonts of that sentiment but I also like that it is of a good size for large cards/paintings or for simple, one layer cards.<br /><br />I separated branches from the <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Simon-Says-Stamp-CLUSTERED-LEAVES-Craft-Die/p/59417613" target="_blank">Clustered leaves</a>, arranged under the vellum piece.

Lastly, I added whole panel on a cardstock.<br /><br />Finally, I added a heart from red cardstock and applied <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Ranger-Inkssentials-GLOSSY-ACCENTS-Glue-Dimensional-Adhesive-2oz/p/58632317" target="_blank">Glossy Accent</a> over it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>That is it!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j7rWThoqBqY/VrbTBCTWCRI/AAAAAAAAH2c/Yqwn3u2GUoY/s1600/Cluster%2Bleaves%2Bblog%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j7rWThoqBqY/VrbTBCTWCRI/AAAAAAAAH2c/Yqwn3u2GUoY/s640/Cluster%2Bleaves%2Bblog%2B3.jpg" width="459" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> Enjoy!Purvi http://www.blogger.com/profile/06484626039753154945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303332669418974878.post-42334511039972483972016-02-02T00:04:00.001-05:002016-02-02T02:02:06.873-05:00Oriental Orchid & A new store Ranganjali <br />Hello all!<br /><br />I am very glad to announce that I will be associated with a new online craft supply store opened in India today. It is named <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/">Ranganjali</a>, which means offering of colors. It is going to carry various international and local art and craft supplies. My crafty friend in India, you should check out this store. They are a running promotional offer and free shipping.<br /><br />At this happy occasion and in view of upcoming Valentine's day, I have created this card using <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Altenew-ORIENTAL-ORCHID-Clear-Stamp-Set/p/58747057">Altenew's Oriental Orchid Stamp se</a>t. There are very few stamps that have orchid designs. I wanted to try this stamp set since they it was released.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ynsH-tYxxwQ/VrAsl5xruCI/AAAAAAAAHnc/MTHYKGUKkzM/s1600/IMG_20160201_145955664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="520" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ynsH-tYxxwQ/VrAsl5xruCI/AAAAAAAAHnc/MTHYKGUKkzM/s640/IMG_20160201_145955664.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />I like orchids. Being very different from other flowers, they carry certain charm. In most orchids, the petals seem to have been arrange in two layers and in different curvature. To capture this, I decided to use vellum for the flowers.<br /><br />First, I stamped outlines of the flowers with <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Altenew-RED-COSMOS-Crisp-Dye-Ink-Pad-Pack/p/58747069">Altenew's Ruby Red Crisp Ink</a>. I then colored the flowers with <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Prima-Marketing-SCENIC-ROUTE-Watercolor-Pencil-Set/p/58603604">Prima Marketing's Watercolor Pencils</a>- 01, 09,30, 21, 84, These colors are white, yellow ochre, orange and magenta. Lighter colors I used in center and darker at the edge, to create an impression of veins, curvature and overlapping among petals. I then stamped most central areas of each flower in the same Ruby Red. It is important to remember that <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Grafix-WHITE-MARBLE-Vellum-11x8-5in-12-pack/p/58603627">vellum </a>does not absorb any ink, and so, you need to let the ink dry otherwise it will smear.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YoeoHB_8_rc/VrAslNMsjiI/AAAAAAAAHnM/DnYcX5doalc/s1600/Thoughts....jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YoeoHB_8_rc/VrAslNMsjiI/AAAAAAAAHnM/DnYcX5doalc/s640/Thoughts....jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Using a stylus, I curved the petals of the flowers for added effect. I also cut and separated petals around edge of the flowers.<br /><br />I used larger card size- 5x6.5 inch so that I can add long stems and rows of flower. Before stamping the stems with Peeled Paint<a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/~/search/keywords=distress ink&offset=0&sort=relevance"> Distress Ink</a>, I decided on arrangement of flowers and masked those areas. I stamped the large sentiment from the same stamp set in Pearlescent Chocolate- Brilliance ink and the smaller one in <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/StazOn-JET-BLACK-Ink-Pad/p/58603630">Jet Black StazOn</a> ink.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dB3-1CkgmY4/VrAslGtFf1I/AAAAAAAAHnQ/ePLyDHR7epQ/s1600/IMG_20160201_150358443.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dB3-1CkgmY4/VrAslGtFf1I/AAAAAAAAHnQ/ePLyDHR7epQ/s640/IMG_20160201_150358443.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Lastly, I adhere flowers with <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Ranger-Inkssentials-GLOSSY-ACCENTS-Glue-Dimensional-Adhesive-2oz/p/58632317">Glossy accents</a>, touch up some stem areas using brush, with Peeled Paint. For added interest, I added some <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/#!store/dk7gc/!/Crafters-Square-METALLIC-Sequins/p/59890410">metallic sequins</a>. And there it is! My try to recreate orchids on paper.<br /><br />These and many more craft items are available in <a href="http://www.ranganjali.com/">Ranganjali </a>store.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Purvi http://www.blogger.com/profile/06484626039753154945noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303332669418974878.post-44314104649353286372015-11-24T18:31:00.001-05:002015-11-24T18:32:26.303-05:00Blue & Coral- Thanks 1<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello Friends,<br /><br />Today, I am posting two thank you cards. Both the backgrounds are done with watercolors techniques.<br /><br />In the first one, I have tried to use negative painting technique with the aid of the stamped image to create impression of more flowers and background foliage using Faded Jeans distress ink. I then stamped, lightly colored same images in Abandoned Coral distress ink on another watercolor paper, curled the petals with embossing tool and adhered with foam tape on the background.<br /><br />I layered 'thanks' white on blue to make it more visible.

I stamped, colored the images with Abandoned Coral distress ink on vellum. I then cut them and used the embossing tool to curl up the petals. Vellum flowers are then adhered on coral and red cardstock flowers to keep the brightness of their colors unaffected by blue background. Addition of partially embossed stitched frame was an afterthought which seems like was not a bad idea. I embellished the panel with diecut flourishes, silver foiled leaves, red enamel dots and a stripped banner piece. I diecut 'thank you' in white and navy cardstock and layered them.

I have this die from Spellbinders which diecuts a whole panel for the front of a card. I did not want to plainly paste the panel on a contrasting cardstock. So, I thought of using watercolors to create a background. I wanted to see how light, bright- Twisted Citron and dark purple- Dusty Concord distress colors will look together.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F6oT5tF0eOk/Vj1jJX5gUEI/AAAAAAAAVmg/y9t3MotNEqw/s1600/IMG_0497_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F6oT5tF0eOk/Vj1jJX5gUEI/AAAAAAAAVmg/y9t3MotNEqw/s640/IMG_0497_blog.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HixfWR3ijxs/Vj1jJOuYGQI/AAAAAAAAVmc/4C4NTKq73UI/s1600/IMG_0501_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HixfWR3ijxs/Vj1jJOuYGQI/AAAAAAAAVmc/4C4NTKq73UI/s640/IMG_0501_blog.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />So, I made the background on a watercolor paper. I adhered two layers of the die-cuts for a bit of thickness. On one panel, I added Studio G's glitter glue on some swirls, another one I have kept as is. For butterflies, I stamped them, colored them with Spectrum Noirs, and for added interest I covered them with glossy accents. With an intention to not hide this die-cut under a sentiment piece, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of plastic cardstock with quick drying alcohol drink. I loved that idea!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cm_YUGN8YFI/Vj1jXSdgTCI/AAAAAAAAVms/7Nla-CvBF7U/s1600/IMG_0505_blog_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cm_YUGN8YFI/Vj1jXSdgTCI/AAAAAAAAVms/7Nla-CvBF7U/s640/IMG_0505_blog_1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Enjoy!<br /><br /><b>Submitted to:</b><br /><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-thanksthanksgiving-3/" style="background-color: white; color: #32aaff; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamps- Wednesday Challenge</a><br /><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=3291" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamps- Monday Challenge</a>- So Glossy<br /><a href="http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/11/virginias-view-challenge-20.html" target="_blank">Virginia's View Challenge- All About Textures</a><br /><b><br /></b><b>Items used:</b><br /><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(affiliate links used)</span></i><br /><!-- inlinkz code start --> <br /><div class="ProjectManagerContainer" id="158313"><div class="_InLinkzPMDiv"><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=832023&c=158313" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Spellbinders S5-154 Shapeabilities Expandable Patterns Botanical Swirls Die Templates"><img border="0" class="_inlinkzI" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51aocgt10CL._SL160_.jpg" height="100" style="height: 100px;" /></a></div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=875642&c=158313" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Inkadinkado Clear Stamps-Hearts & Love"><img border="0" class="_inlinkzI" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519REab5MTL._SL160_.jpg" style="width: 100px;" width="100" /></a></div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=122778&c=158313" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Hero Arts woodblock stamps originate from sustainably managed forests. They are hand-cut and assembled with love and care in the USA. Each design is an imaginative original, and each stamp is a lasting keepsake.  "><img border="0" class="_inlinkzI" src="http://simonsaysstamp.blob.core.windows.net/images/products/1_78045_TH.JPG" height="100" style="height: 100px;" /></a></div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=823486&c=158313" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="The Tim Holtz Mini Distress Ink Pads are a collection of individual 1 x 1 inch water based dye inks.

Fall leaves are stamped with CTMH's stamp set on a separate watercolor paper. I added distress inks directly from the ink-pads on the stamp and misted it with water. Sometimes, I added a color with brush on a wet stamped image to have good distribution and combination of colors. I hand-cut them after the images were dried. I stamped veins in Red Rocket and gold ink. I stamped the sentiment in dark brown and adhered the leaves, added small banner shapes in patterned papers and rhinestones.<br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v1n5KGTlyCU/Vj1J64zgIoI/AAAAAAAAVl4/qswOWUskxyA/s1600/IMG_0486_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v1n5KGTlyCU/Vj1J64zgIoI/AAAAAAAAVl4/qswOWUskxyA/s640/IMG_0486_blog.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />Happy fall everyone!<br /><br /><b>Submitted to:</b><br /><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-thanksthanksgiving-3/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamps- Wednesday Challenge</a><br /><br /><b>Items used:</b><br /><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(affiliate links used)</span></i><br />- Stampin Up- River Rock ink<br />- Rubber Cafe- Plastic Paper<br />- Inkadinkado- Garden Flower stamps<br />- CTMH- Fall Leaves<br /><!-- inlinkz code start --> <br /><div class="ProjectManagerContainer" id="158305"><div class="_InLinkzPMDiv"><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=839577&c=158305" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Stamp your projects with vibrant and fun designs!

They are pretty simple to make but the idea took some time to develop. I embossed the kraft cardstocks first, but process of finding out what to do next to bring out the details and what sort of embellishments to use was rather tedious. Working with kraft seems difficult and restricting sometimes.<br /><br />Anyway, here are the cards.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--DbB2U1K4Aw/VjLwa1mLG6I/AAAAAAAAVZ8/9ATaHMpkPDY/s1600/IMG_0412_etsy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="408" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--DbB2U1K4Aw/VjLwa1mLG6I/AAAAAAAAVZ8/9ATaHMpkPDY/s640/IMG_0412_etsy.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I first used white chalk ink over embossed panels to bring out the details. However, I did not like that much and so I worked on an idea- to use perfect pearls - Gold and Copper to create metallic finish. I used glitter stripes in between cut pieces of a panel to create a different look. Lastly, I added the stamped sentiment, white pearls and golden embroidery floss.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

However, this time I have put an extra effort to create a card just to submit to Altenew's current challenge. I am a big fan of their floral stamps.<br /><br />So, here is the card.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Topm8sBMJH0/VialVEjCowI/AAAAAAAAVNA/AARqCXpGUIw/s1600/IMG_0231_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Topm8sBMJH0/VialVEjCowI/AAAAAAAAVNA/AARqCXpGUIw/s640/IMG_0231_blog.JPG" width="467" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />I used <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1133977&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D305168" target="_blank">Persian Motifs stamps </a>to embossed with clear embossing powder on watercolor paper. I then colored them with Prima Marketing's watercolor pencils- No. 30 (magenta) and No. 60(light peach).<br />This is the first time I used these watercolor pencils and I like brightness of the colors and the way the color pigments just dissolves with touch of water. They are very smooth and easy to work with. I had Artists' loft watercolor pencils that I bought years ago. I did not like to use them. These Prima's pencils are my second watercolor pencil purchase which I did after some consideration and a lot of wait. I bought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TYNXKNI/tag=thouinlineand-20/tag=thouinlineand-20" target="_blank">Scenic Route</a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TYNY7MG?tag=thouinlineand-20" target="_blank">Spring and Fall</a> sets. They are available right now. I am happy with them and see my self using them over and over again. Gold in flowers and dark-ish gold in leaves are from Metallic Gelatos.

I used peach colored fun foam square for smaller square layer which I then attached underneath a same sized vellum piece to dampen its brightness and possible color clash with magenta.<br /><br />Lastly, I assembled all the elements. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. And, as a final touch I added black rhinestones...I just had to add as many colors from the challenge photos as I can! :)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oD0GqYe-huc/Viai0VQPC4I/AAAAAAAAVMQ/3XkGOuZP9TE/s1600/IMG_0241_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oD0GqYe-huc/Viai0VQPC4I/AAAAAAAAVMQ/3XkGOuZP9TE/s400/IMG_0241_blog.JPG" width="330" /></a></div><br /> Enjoy!<br /><br /><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;">Submitted to:</b><br /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://altenewblog.com/2015/09/22/september-challenge-from-places-abroad-windsor-castle/" target="_blank">Altenew September-October Challenge </a><br /><a href="http://lulupu.blogspot.in/2015/10/challenge-54-embossing-magic.html" target="_blank">Lulupu Challenge #54</a><br /><br /><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;">Items used: </b><br /><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><i style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(affiliate links used)</span></i></b><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;">- Recollections Heavyweight (110lb) cardstock</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;">- Recollections Clear Embossing Powder </span> </blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></div><!-- inlinkz code start --> <br /><div class="ProjectManagerContainer" id="156557"><div class="_InLinkzPMDiv"><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=823468&c=156557" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="The floral images in this set were inspired by Persian ceramic designs.

I picked up a few postcard size coloring books. I was happy to get them as I could take one with me on my long travel and have good time. I planned to use some colored postcards for card-making. Below is the example of it.<br /><br />I colored images with Peerless watercolors and added other elements- white texture paste, white sequins, elements, butterflies and banner stripes. I would say, I like the quality of the paper used in these coloring books. It is of 121lb.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1TG7CVH6A1w/ViRl_o72v5I/AAAAAAAAVG8/vFP3lE9mMS0/s1600/IMG_0174_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1TG7CVH6A1w/ViRl_o72v5I/AAAAAAAAVG8/vFP3lE9mMS0/s400/IMG_0174_blog.JPG" width="327" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-74b_btdn910/ViRl_iQt8NI/AAAAAAAAVG4/7KZ3mN6_6-w/s1600/IMG_0170_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-74b_btdn910/ViRl_iQt8NI/AAAAAAAAVG4/7KZ3mN6_6-w/s400/IMG_0170_blog.JPG" width="302" /></a></div><div><br /></div><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;">Submitted to:</b><br /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/10/virginias-view-challenge-19.html" style="background-color: white; color: #6699cc; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-decoration: none;">Virginia's View Challenge- All things colored</a><br /><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=3127" style="background-color: white; color: #6699cc; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-decoration: none;">Simon Says Stamps- Monday Challenge- Wonderful watercolors</a><br /><br /><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;">Items used: </b><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/beautifulcolors/tools/listings/state:draft,sort:update_date,stats:true/255052403" target="_blank">Artist's loft - Art for everyone- Coloring Postcards</a></span><br />Peerless watercolors<br /><br /></div>Purvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00322324005902716912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303332669418974878.post-74876095553418935982015-10-18T23:29:00.002-04:002015-10-18T23:38:27.263-04:00Watercolored Poppies- Sending Prayers & Love<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello all,<br /><br />Today I am posting a couple of watercolor cards I made in last few days.<br /><br />This one is very simple. I stamped the image using a water soluble black marker one of the stamps from Penny Black's Blooming Garden stamp set. I colored the flowers in red, keeping in mind the black ink which could bleed into the image. Later, with a wet brush I let the black ink bleed outside image to create a sort of shadow all around.
