Feather card -with inka gold

Hi friends,

I felt ecstatic after recieving so many beautiful comments and messages on my last post and video in which I featured the viva decor Inka golds. The last experience with the product was amazing so I decided to use it one more time and try few more tips n tricks.

I personally love creating cards because they are quick and give me 100% happiness but I want to mention all the steps can be very easily used to create layouts,tags and altered art.

So let's begin today's project and the things u will need are :

Inka gold -gold

Inka gold - lava red

Inka gold - apricot

Distress ink -cracked pistachio

Sizzix feathers duo die

Mini ink blending tool

Super fine detailed white EP

Pearls /sequence

So guys !!grab all the supplies and let's start it together :)

Step1: die cut and emboss the feather from a white card stock and add gold on the tips fading downwards .

Step 2:die cut the arrows and paint them with red ,gold and apricot inka golds

Step 3: ink the card panel with cracked pistachio by using the mini foam blending tool. Apply two coats to get a more solid and even coverage .

😊TIP: always use the craft mat when you work with paints and inks. It is heat proof stain poof and super easy to clean.

Step 4: cut the coloured panel into four stripes of different thicknesses. Now start adding little strokes of gold using a small piece of foam. This will give it a beautiful golden distressed look.

Step 5: I embossed a sentiment on some vellum card stock using super fine white embossing powder.

😊 TIP: It is always a good idea to use a powder tool to remove any static /oil/ or debris which might attract the EP. This makes the EP stick only to the versa mark:)

Finally we all all set to assemble the card together.try different arrangements and then stick them the way you liked the most. I added few flat back pearls and gold seqence to jazz up the project.

Here is the video link which shows you each and every step to make this beautiful card.

I hope u liked my post for today.

I feel blessed when I read all the amazing comments you guys leave for me.

Stay happy...

And enjoy the rains !

Love

Enjoy the Party!

Hello Everyone!

"Each day holds a surprise.

But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us.

Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy

It will open a new place in our hearts,

a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully... "

Henri Nouwen

Smile Please!

In order to document one such moment ,

lets create

"Enjoy the Party layout !"

The Kraft textured paper from Co-ordinations is awesome. I love the texture.

The Happy and bright Paper Pops from Darice are amazing to play around with.
Hence before beginning I lay them all out.

I choose few of them as per the shapes and the sentiments as well as the elements on them
and fussy cut the camera as well as the hearts.

After having choosen the Paper Pops it was time to create the embellishments.

Hence I narrowed down the pops choosing which one goes on the top

and which one remains at the bottom.

Using the 3D foam tape I stuck the pops one on top of the other

Viola the poppers are ready.
The Red Tacky Tape is a very useful tape when it comes to pasting without bubbles.
Hence I use it all the time.

and once again I couldn't help myself but maka a banner.

After having the pops ready it was time to add the banner.

(without the banner there is no fun in the celebration)

I choose few of the co-ordinating Paper Pops and sliced them into halves.

After having sliced them, using the 3D foam tape tape

I stuck them on top of the other.

Embellished it with the buttons and twine

(pasted them using the super Tacky glue)

Viola the banner is all ready to go on the layout.

Using the super tacky Red Tacky Tape
I pasted the banner onto the layout.

Last but not the least...its time to add the sentiment.

The amazing Vellum sentiments by Darice is a must.

I picked these 2 sentiments based on the theme.

But..

"Enjoy the Party!" called for my attentions.

I trimmed the sentiment using Martha Stewart Scissors

and pasted it on a white card stock.

Viola! its all ready

AHA! after having all the elements ready using the super tacky Red Tacky Tape

I assembled all the embellishments on the Kraft sheet and added the photo mat.

Altenew bonanza!!!

Hi friends,

I fell in love with the Altenew stamps at first sight😍. The stamps are so different and versatile . We can achieve various looks and styles with just one stamp. For today's post I have picked one of the most popular stamp sets called the "Persian motifs" and it's coordinating die set available at our store. Having the die set makes cutting the shapes hassle free but I must mention that the images can be easily fussy cut too.

The techniques are very popular and are created by few of my favorite card makers. I have attempted to take inspiration for them and here is my version ...
I have created mini video tutorials for each of the techniques I have used , I have also uploaded them on the crafterscornerscreen youtube channel .

Hope u like the post for today and give these cool techniques a try.

This is the Persian motifs stamp set and the coordinating die

Card #1 White on Kraft

I stamped and Heat embossed the flowers and leaves at the top left corner of the Kraft card stock. I used the super fine detail white embossing power to emboss my images and sentiment.

Coloured the flowers and leaves by using water soluble pencil colours and few distress makers.

Card #2 Alcohol markers

I created a background paper by randomly stamping the flowers on a light brown paper. Stamped the two flowers with memento tuxedo ink which is used when we wish to use copic markers .

I used two shades of green copics and stampin' blendability to colour all the images .

I then used the die set to cut the images and sticked them over a tag with some foam tape.

Card #3 Water colouring

This is the most exotic of the cards and I love love love water colouring specially the no line look. All u need to do is stamp the images with a light archival ink and then put in all your efforts to achieve the best watercolour results. I used the new distress ink mermaid lagoon and black soot to make this gorgeous card.

Card #4 Delicate Vellum

I wanted a bright background for these delicate vellum flowers to pop. I sprayed few colours on a water coloured paper and blended it with water. Once the background was dry I flicked few water droplets to get the bleached/ bokeh effect. Then I sticked the flowers with some ranger Matt medium. Embossed a sentiment and the card was ready.
