Tiled Background Card

Hey. This card was created when I was doing the series of lattice window cards. Instead of a woven background, I tried using my tile punch to create a window effect. I punched the tile 6 times to create this bg. Then I cut out a window from the card base and adhered the tiled bg from inside. 

The chrysanthemum is a free dg from the net. I colored it using distress inks and glued atop the card with foam squares. The seam binding ribbon was colored using the same distress ink.

How to make a Lattice Window Card - Video Tutorial

Hi everyone! I recently posted quite a few lattice window cards and these were my first experiments with them. I also won some blog challenges for these cards of mine. One such win was at the Lulupu blog and I was invited to be the GD on their blog. So I made a video tutorial on how to make lattice window cards. There are many tutorials available on the net and each one has their own style. I have tried to showcase my style and how make these type of cards. Click here to view my GD post at Lulupu blog.

This is my first ever attempt on making a video tutorial, so kindly bear any kind of misses. Also please pardon the bad lighting and my badly abused craft mat. My husband pointed that out later :)

I did not get time to take pics side by side so I don't have a pictorial. Here are the pics of the completed card.

Thanks for dropping by. Do share your frank comments on how the video turned out to be.

I made another version of this card. Here are the pics.

Black Lattice Window Card

Hey guys! This is another card in the series of lattice cards that I have been making in the last couple of days. This time I wanted a red and black combo. The red poppy flower goes pretty well with the black backdrop. I got this digi from the net and colored it using Faber Castell color pencils. It was a bit tacky to fussy cut this, as it have many closed spaces which had to be cut-out with a craft knife. Instead of adhering it with 3D tape, this time I glued it directly on the lattice frame. The sentiment is heat embossed and the stamp set is from TPC.

Lattice Window Card - Blooming Flowers

Hey there... as you know these days I am going crazy experimenting with different lattice cards, so here I am with another one. Here, instead of weaving the lattice, I have used a die cut which I purchased from Nupur's store. The frame of course is handcut as I dnt own any die cutting machine.

The stamp set used here is from Ujjwal which she destashed recently. I have stamped, fussy cut and distressed these flowers and leaves. The flourish die-cut is also distressed using Forest Moss DI. That's all for today. Have a great day!

Lattice Window Card

Hi everyone!! I have been meaning to try out a lattice window card since a very long time, and finally I got the time for it. Though tedious, I loved creating this lattice window. I am also going to try out different versions of it. I first created this panel and then mounted it on a green card base. Love how the green peeps out of the white panel.

I also have been doing a lot of watercoloring these days... my cards in coming days will reveal those! I printed a whole lot of these pretty digis from the net and colored them using Faber Castell watercolor pencils. This one is from Beccy's blog. When I completed coloring this, I had a vision in mind as to how I wanted my card to be and I was able to achieve what I had thought of. I wanted a very subtle but intricate background for this.

Here's a look at behind the scene pics... I used an old piece of CS to create the lattice, thus the coloring on the strips. 

That's all for today... Ciao!!
