What a beautiful Friendship we've grown.

Hello, my crafty friends!

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

Today, I am sharing a simple but elegant card featuring the Jane Doodles Stamp Set.

To start, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 1/4 by 4 inches as my card panel and black cardstock to 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches as my base.

To make the background of the card, I use the blending technique. I started first with Ripe Persimmon then blend it with Wild Honey then I apply a little bit of Dusty Concord and blend with Worn Lipstick. All are Distress Inks from Ranger.

Then, I stamped the image with Ranger Dye InkPad Raven to a white piece of cardstock using the masking technique. To color the flowers, first I started with Pale Red then blend with Pale Orange of Artist Loft Colored Pencils. For the darker color at the center of the flower, I use a combination of Red and Light Orange then for the Pistil I use Dark Orange.

To have a dimension, I fussy cut the flowers and added a foam tape at the back to lift it up a bit. Then for the sentiment, I used Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin May Good Things Grow March Kit 2018. Adhere the card panel to the base and were done!

I hope you enjoyed today's card! Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for stopping by!

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!
