Watercoloured Sunflower

I'm back with my guest designer post for CraftAdda this month. And Valentine’s Day being just around the corner, I thought of sharing a few love –themed card ideas using a couple of stamp sets by CrafTangles  - one is ‘Love is in the Air’ and another one is ‘Always Yours’.


Both of these stamp sets are sentiment-based, so I simply chose a sentiment and co-odinated them with some free-hand watercoloured images, as shown in the card below:-

Tried some free hand water colouring for the first time. Well, technically this is the second attempt , the first one was a failed attempt at trying to make my sunflower look close to being one ! But it took me a while to paint it and I'm satisfied with this.  I used Gansai Tambi  water colours here. The sentiment ‘you are my sunshine ‘ from ‘Always Yours’ set  goes perfectly well with this image.

I'll be sharing the other two cards in upcoming blog posts. :)

Take care and keep creating !

You're Wonderful

Hey wonderful people!

Hope you all are doing great! As for me, I'm taking things easy this weekend and making the best use of the spare time I have in my hands. :) Sharing a card I made inspired by a few challenges.
Here's my card:--

The roses are hand drawn, watercoloured and fussy cut before sticking them over a  doily layered over a textured card panel.I have used watercolour cakes for colouring the roses. The sentiment is NBUS from the Waffle Flower Bowtiful stamp set. Finally, the panel was mounted over a blue card stock and bling was added.

Linking this card to:--
1. NBUS#2--- This one's for you, Darnell.You truly are wonderful !( The sentiment used here was one of the NBUS)
2. Cas(e) this sketch#93  (I was amazed by the inspiring designs shared by the DTs there, but I was completely awestruck by Alice Wertz' card here, and based on this, I was inspired to make my own. )
3.Create  something catchy challenges#7---Watercolouring
4. Muse Challenge #85--I was inspired by the beautifully coloured blooms on The Muse Marion Vagg's card.

That's all from my side. Thanks so much for visiting me today.

Have a great week!! :)

Happy Day!

Hi there!

Again sharing a card with watercolouring today.  And I wanted a sweet little happy scene on my card. This is how it turned out :-

I have used watercolour paper for the base of the card. The scene has been created using wet-on-wet technique. The sheep is hand drawn, watercoloured , fuzzy cut and popped over the base using adhesive foam. Stuck some pieces of wooden toothpicks to make that fence. Added a punched butterfly, hand drew the trial and finally stamped the sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed this sweet and simple card.

A Card with Watercolouring

Hi dear blogger pals,
Hope you all are doing great.  I'm watching quite a lot of videos on watercolouring these days, right from the beginner ones showing different brush strokes and washes, to some advanced ones. And I'm practising it too. I loved this video where the artist brilliantly  paints some free-hand watercoloured roses. I absolutely loved it and that's how I was inspired to make this card. If you wish to see it too, click here but first have a look at my card because you won't like my card after you see the video :P

I know I have a long road to travel in the world of watercolouring, but nevertheless, I'm enjoying the journey and wanted to share it with you and get your valuable feedback. :)
And the butterfly was stamped on a piece of vellum followed by heat embossing it using  Lindy's silver EP, fuzzy cutting it and layering it over a black butterfly.

And as I write this post, I also want to share a very annoying issue I'm facing with my blogger today. I'm not able to see any new posts from anybody on my dashboard, except the most recent one, that is I can see just one post at a time, which goes away as soon as another one appears. Are you facing this problem too or is it just me?

Thanks for visiting. Have a great week. :)

Hello !

Hope you all are doing good.

Quickly sharing a card today inspired by CASology week 96- Flower, Less is More-172-Flowers and Addicted to CAS-Off the Edge

Here's my take:

Clicked indoors, No daylight---Edited

As you may have noticed, water-colouring is a rage in the blogland at present. And  I didn't mind  giving in to this trend for once, especially if the process is so much fun and the results, beautiful. :) So, yes, I stamped that sunflower and water coloured it using my watercolouring cakes I bought from a local store. The flower stamp is from the Deep Red Clings and the sentiment 'Hello' is from Itsy bitsy clear stamp set.

Hope you like my sweet and simple flowery greeting.

Thanks for visiting me today and have a great day!!
