Stained Glass

Hello everyone!! I'm on the Brutus Monroe blog today, with this card using the latest Die club cover plate die.

This cover plate die reminded me of stained glass windows. I die cut the cover plate with Rinea gold foil and adhered vellum behind it. I colored the vellum on the back side with different colors of Copic markers. I heat embossed the sentiment from Sharon's Script stamp set with Gilded embossing powder on a strip of Vellum and adhered it on the panel. I adhered the panel on to an A2 card base. This reminds me of vintage stained glass.

How do you like this card today? Please do let me know. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day.

Peonies Everywhere!

Hello everyone! Today I'm on the Tubby Craft blog, sharing these 2 cards using the new Floral Peony stamp set. I used Copics to color the flowers.

Card 1:

For the first card, I embossed the flowers and leaves on vellum and colored them with Copics. I used the white pearl embossing powder for embossing.

Card 2:

I did no-line coloring with Copics and did some ink blending. I loved coloring this flower.

Beautiful Day

Hello everyone!! Here is another card that I made this week. Well, I hope you aren't bored with my gold on vellum cards because this is one of them :)

The image is from Unity Stamp's Best things just happen stamp set. I stamped it on vellum and heat embossed it with Hero Arts gold powder. I colored on the backside of the vellum. It is actually a coral/peach color.

The sentiment is from Unity Stamps' BUNCHES OF {LOVE} stamp set. It is heat embossed with gold powder. I used ivory card base for this card.

This card was inspired by Deepti's card for this month's CASEplorations Challenge in the STAMPlorations blog.

A bit of news - we are moving to NJ this weekend. I have made a few more cards before packing up my craft stuff which I'll be sharing soon. I might be packing/unpacking for a few days/week. Once I get settled, I will be back in my new craft space (I guess I'll get a small space with a table). Till then, I might be on and off. I'll be visiting your blogs in the mean time :)

Merry & Bright Christmas

Hello everyone!! I'm back to share a Christmas card that I made this week. I'm really loving this gold embossing on vellum. It gives a very elegant look to the card. Have a look here:

I stamped the Poinsettia image from Joanna Sheen's Make A Wish stamp set on vellum and heat embossed it wit Hero Arts gold powder. I colored it on the back with my water-based markers.

I then stamped the sentiment from Sweet n Sassy Stamps' Christmas Penguins Clear Stamp Set and heat embossed it with gold powder.

I then mounted the vellum on ivory card base. I really love the look of the ivory background!!

Lesson learnt: Be very careful when using liquid adhesive on the colored side of the image :) I had a small accident and spoiled 1 card base :)

How can I not mention what started me on this gold on vellum phase!! I was inspired by Virginia Lu's card which was selected for this month's CASEploration Challenge in the STAMPlorations blog.

Congrats Flowers

Hello everyone!! I'm sharing another card that I made over the weekend. I've been planning to try stamping on vellum for a very long time. So when I saw a few cards in this style and a CASE challenge on them, I decided to take it. So here's my card:

I used the flowers and leaves from Winnie & Walter's the Big, the Bold and the Extras. This is one of my favorite stamps to color. I masked and stamped the flowers on the right lower corner of the vellum panel and let it overflow onto the black cardstock. I then embossed it with gold powder. I colored it with Faber Castell connector pens. 

The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter's the Big, the Bold and You. I embossed it with gold powder. I then added a thin strip of glitter tape around the vellum.

I'm on a card making spree now thanks to Kathy's 30 Day Coloring Challenge :) It is really a stress buster. 

Thanks for stopping by. Do let me know your suggestions and comments.
