Shake... Shake... Shaker!!

Hello friends

Its good to be back again... i have been MIA for the last 2 oh no 3 months. What with summer camps, bdays and summer vacation!!

Every year for the summer camp, my camp kids make a lot of interactive cards, but i have never been able to share anything here (already finding hard to blog my cards). but this time ill try and post few atleast.

Ok first of all, ill start by posting few favorites i missed to blog about. I made this just b4 the camp started. Have a look (but i might have posted it in Insta though)

As you know i was addicted to colouring digis lately and this digi found its way to this shaker card. Loved it. Its cute and my daughter gifted it to her friend for birthday. The outline of the digi is clear embossed with Emboss It pen.

The Sequins are from Papericious and almost all other stuff from my crafty scrap. I know i have lots to catch up to. Will be visiting all your blogs soon and the various challenges going on.

Hope you liked my shaker and see you soon with another one. bye bye

There's no one like You

Hi crafty heads,

Am soo excited to share this card today. take a look

Here is another card i coloured with my kids Faber Castell colour pencils. The image is a free digi from the net. I applied a layer of Mod-podge for the glossy look. But the most exciting part for me is the bg. I recently bought a pumice stone DI and i love it. Still trying out different possibilities with it.

After blending in worn lipstick & pumice stone i splashed some water drops and heat dried it. The sentiment is heat embossed. The card front and base are cut from Peekaboo stitched rectangles.

Oh i love clicking photos with props. And i love the girl's pose. Soo lovely.

Thanks for dropping by today. 

PS..Am planning to buy some Artist colour pencils (not water colour pencils though), can anyone suggest the best.

xoxo

Gesso BG + Digi Image

Hello there...

February is truly romantic in the blogland with reds & pinks. Loving the ideas everyone come up with. But i am truly in a different mode. Trying out new stuff and new techniques. Some particular idea hits you and u can never come out of it until satisfied.
So this time around it is Digital image & watercolours for me. When my limited supply of image stamps ran out, i have started trying watercolouring and pencil colouring on Digi images.

Ok here is my humble take on colouring Digi images. I have had many challenges. The main being "smearing & bleeding of printer ink". I still havnt overcome it, trying different methods. Hope something works out soon

Water coloured Digi Image

I have coloured the image with watercolour pencils. You can see the difference in the face... skin tones are the most sensitive to bleeding. It was just a trial at watercolouring but i cudnt waste the pic... so made it into a card.

BG

For the bg, i first applied gesso thru Hero Arts chevron stencil and let it air dry. I wanted to make a watercolour washed bg but Distress inks get too diluted and hence the light bg. Gesso resisted the DI and thus a beautiful bg.

Gesso+Stencil in BG

Finally mounted the image on the bg and accessorized it with pearls & ribbon. Sentiment stamped with versamark onyx ink. It really stamped well on gesso too.

So thats it today. Hope you liked it. Do comment on tips to avoid ink bleeding. Thank you

Hugs
