Good Friends are Hard to Find, Harder to Leave and Impossible to Forget

Hello, my crafty friends!

How are you all doing? Hope all is well with all of you.

Today's card is all about friends. A friend who is hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget. We all have a friend whom we got lost in touch with but even though we still think about them and reminisce the past. We all hope that we can see and bond again to enjoy each others company.

This card doesn't need any embellishment at all. To start with, I created a mask for several images for this card. Then stamped the image with Ranger Dye InkPad Raven to a piece of white cardstock cut to 5 1/4 by 4 inches as card panel.

After stamping the image to the card panel, first I started coloring the flowers with Light Purple, Light Violet, Purple, and Violet from Artist Loft Colored Pencils. Then with Light Green and Emerald Green, I use it to color the leaves.

Next, I stamped with Ranger Dye InkPad Jelly for the sentiment. Then as an embellishment to the card, I did some paint splatters. Adhere the card to the base to finish it off.

Hope you enjoyed today's card. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for stopping by!

If Friends were Flowers I'd Pick You.

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome!

How are you all doing today? I hope all of you are doing an excellent day.

Who among you made a mistake then got a good outcome while making something? Well, today's card is all about that.

So let's begin.

First, I created a matching mask to use for the flower. Then on a piece of white cardstock cut to 5 1/4 by 4 inches I stamped the Jane Doodles flower with Stephanie Barnard ColorBox Premium Dye InkPad Cloud.

Start coloring the flower with Pale Orange, Light Orange, and Orange. I used Lemon yellow to emphasize the ends of each flower then colored the pistil with some Light Orange and Dark Orange. All color pencils used are by Artist Loft.

Then I use Dovecraft Stamp for the sentiment, stamped with Ranger Dye InkPad Raven at the center. Next, I decided to blend Light Orange and Yellow as part of my background.

Next, I added Yellow and Orange Sequins as an embellishment and adhere the panel to a black card base.

That is all for today! Have a lovely day everyone!

Thank you for stopping by!

Leave a little Sparkle wherever you go

Happy Saturday and welcome!

Who among you can't stop using one Stamp Set? Well, you are not alone as you will see me using the same stamp set over and over as I can't get enough of it.

It is nice and fun to use the same stamp set and create different beautiful cards and designs. I will be using the masking technique again to make this card

So today, I am sharing another card featuring Jane Doodles Hibiscus Stamp Set and Dovecrafts Stamp Leave a Little Sparkle wherever you go.

To make this card, I started cutting a piece of Kraft cardstock to 5 1/4 by 4 inches. I stamped the image with Ranger Dye Inkpad Raven at the same time using its matching mask to protect the image while I stamp onto the panel to create a beautiful background.

Now for the fun part, let's start coloring each flower with Pale Red, Red and Cherry Red and a touch of Lemon Yellow for the Pistil.

Next, I stamped my sentiment onto the center of the panel with Color Box Archival Dye InkPad Red Devil.

To add some textures to the card, I used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Red Berry and embellished it Gold Sequins.

To finish it off, I adhere the card panel to a 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches white cardstock base.

Have fun creating and crafting!

Thank you for stopping by and till next time!
