Happy Little Stamper October Watercolor Challenge...

Hi! I am back with brand new inspiration for this month's HLS Watercolor Challenge.

I created a card with a stencil and Brushos. This is a twofer as I got two cards out of one panel.

I started with a large piece of watercolor paper and taped the Sunflower stencil by CrafTreat on top. I sprinkled the Brushos on top and sprayed with water. I used yellow, green, orange and red Brushos. Once the paper was dry, I replaced the stencil and lightly inked the petals with red dye ink and the flower center with brown dye ink.

I cut the paper into half, getting two card panels. The sentiment is from a very old stamp set which I stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink. To finish, I trimmed my panel and popped it up on a dark brown card base with foam.

I hope you liked my card. I look forward to your beautiful creations in the HLS gallery. Do visit the blog for some more inspiration by my teamies.

Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge - September 2022...

Hi! I am here with the inspiration for the September challenge of the Happy Little Stampers Stencil challenge.

I am now a part of the CrafTangles design team, which a popular brand in India. As CrafTangles has its own range of products for foiling like foils, toner sheets etc., I decided to invest in a laminator. Today's card is the first one I created with foiling.

I used a very old stencil by Fevicryl, CrafTangles Foil Magic Gilding Glue and CrafTangles Copper Reactive Foil. The sentiment is from Altenew Painted Greetings stamp set. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a scrap of black paper and then ran it through the laminator. To finish, I mounted the panel on a black card base and added the sentiment, popped up on foam tape.

I hope my card inspires you to create something beautiful. You can visit the Happy Little Stampers challenge blog for more inspiration and link your creations. I look forward to visiting you in our gallery.

Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge - August 2022...

Hi! I am here with the inspiration for the August challenge of the Happy Little Stampers Stencil challenge.

My family loves reading and we always seem to run short of bookmarks. I got the idea of creating several at a time using some of the larger stamps and coloring stencils by Altenew.

I stamped the images from the Florescence stamp set on a sheet of ivory card stock. This stamp set is part of a kit that contains the stamp set, embossing folder and coordinating die & stencil. Though the image is quite intricate, the coloring stencils make it easy to color the image quickly. I used the mini ink blending tools and dye inks by Altenew. Once the whole image was colored, I cut it into smaller panels and adhered one of the panels to the green cardstock. I used the Botanical Bookmark die set to cut the green cardstock. The sentiment is from the BYG: Magnificent Branch stamp set, also by Altenew. 

I hope my card inspires you to create something beautiful. You can visit the Happy Little Stampers challenge blog for more inspiration and link your creations. I look forward to visiting you in our gallery.
