Heartfelt Thanks - Waffle Flower Lotus Stamp Set

Hi all... here's a card made using Waffle Flower Lotus Stamp Set. I did a lot of masking and stamping on this card. 

Masking is so much fun and it's a joy to see the final image underneath. I used my stamping tool Stampoholic to do all the stamping and masking. I started by stamping on white card stock but I wanted to color the background black. 

In all the excitement I forgot to use watercolor card stock, so the blending is not great because I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. 

Nevertheless, I went ahead with the card. I outlined the entire image with yellow Zig pen and then colored the full background with black Zig pen.  I did not cover it completely in black so that it gives a chalkboard like look. Note how the image pops up with yellow outline.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I stamped it with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and adhered it onto the card with foam tape.

This card was quite an experiment for me... hope you like it! Thanks for dropping by...

TCM Fancy Flourishes - Card 2

Hi everyone. Today I am sharing a simple card made using TCM Fancy Flourishes stamp set that I won at Lulupu. The flower is handmade using various punches. Sentiment is also from the same stamp set.

Watercoloring with Distress Inks

Hello. In this card I have done watercoloring with Distress Inks on the flowers digi. The side strip is color-coordinated with same color distress ink as the flowers. For the card base, I punched the MS punch and added score lines onto the rest of the card.

I used the left over strip on the inside of the card and added a sentiment there too.

Thank You Monochromatic Card

Hi everyone!! It feels good to post after one full month. I was MIA due to some issues on the home front. I still won't be very regular with my posts, but I couldn't resist making one card this month.

I wanted to play along the lovely challenges running this month but managed to join only a few. I picked up Deepti's Card to play along her challenge.  She is a lovely crafter who has attained great feats in a short span of time and managed to make a mark in the blog world. Kudos to you girl!!

I have cut strips of pattern paper and adhered for the bg. Added a flourish, layered some prima flowers and a paper rose flower. The sentiment stamp is from Micia.

Goodbye.....

Today is my last day at my current organisation. I had a long innings of 5.5 years here. Although I will miss my friends and colleagues here, but I think its a wise career move.

I decided to make some cards for my close friends here, to bid them adieu and thank them for being there for me always!!
