Let Your dreams Set Sail ♥♥♥

           Hi there, today I had real fun creating a Nautical themed card. This reminded me of the awesome moments me & my friends had in Goa this New Year. 

           I used an Iris Sg white card stock & painted using Memento Danube blue, I used different levels of dilution to create the sea & a background of clouds. Then I fussy cut the 3 waves, sail boat, birds & the sun (Oops, I don't have a die cutting machine). I colored them using Fabrica acrylic colors & assembled them onto my card. 

           Stamped the sentiment using ItsyBitsy alphabet stamp & the chevron and the lines using We R Memory keepers stamp set. Finally used my Uni-ball Creamy white pen to add some finishing touches.

           And that's it for today, gonna start for my hospital, byeeee. ♥♥

♥♥ Dream, Create, Inspire ♥♥

       I had absolutely no idea how this card was gonna come up when I started painting with Memento Danube blue for the sky. Then I added some ColorBox light green pigment ink at the bottom & let both encroach each other on its own!!

       Created some clouds with the blue ink again. Then went ahead and thought, "Let's paint a tree!!" & painted the tree trunk using Memento Potters clay.
       Used Memento Bamboo Leaves & ColorBox light green for the foliage of the tree. 

       I was left with a lonely tree on the card. To add some friendly grasses to give him company I put to use the tear drop shaped ink pad of Memento Bamboo Leaves. Holding it at an angle I just smooched the pad to the card stock to get those leaf blades.
       And I was so happy with that improvisation. ♥♥♥
       Finally added the sentiments & some leaves to complete the Happy Picture :) :)

Birthday Card ~ Enjoy Your Special Day ♥♥♥

       

          This is about the cards I designed for the Consultants working in my hospital!! In the midst of me working afternoon shift, watching an awesome Korean serial & reading Richard Dawkins's "The Greatest Show on Earth", I really didn't have much time to work on the cards. 

          So I kept it as simple as I could & did only a little bit of coloring & tons of stamping! 

          Initially I took 3 colored A4 sized card stock & cut them into 6 inch by 4 inch cards. Then I coloured them with Memento Tangelo, Lilac Posies & Bamboo Leaves to create a vignette effect. 

           Then I used stamps from Hot of the Press &  Bo Bunny stamp set to add the clock & sentiments.
  

          Once done with that, I trimmed them a bit & stuck them up on Iris Sg white 280 gsm card stock cut to (6.5 inch x 4.5 inch) using Red Tacky tape. 

          Then used stamps from Hot of the Press &  Bo Bunny stamp set to add some pictures & a Happy Birthday to the card!!

          Then I made some envelopes & stamped a "Happy Birthday" sentiment using a Bo Bunny stamp with matching Memento inks.

          And ta-da ~ I am finished with my cards & now sharing a few more photos I took!!!

          ♥♥ Create, have fun!!! ♥♥

Cheers ~ My first quilling experience!!

       I am juggling between various types of craft for the past few days!! And today it's a quilling card.

       Though I got fond of quilling the very first time I saw that, I never tried my hand at it. This is my first time trying to play with those colorful strips of paper & I must say it's both incredibly fun and easy, though it tests your patience at times!!

       This particular card took around 2 hours to finish & I must say I love it.
Sorry guys, no step-by-step photos because I was too engrossed in it & forgot to take photos!!

Those wavy shadows are beautiful!!

Here are some close-up shots ♥♥♥

Fly High, Touch the Sky..!!!

           Today I am here to share with you a mixed media art I did today. This is the first time I am working with watercolors over a large area (A4 size watercolor sheet!) & though it was fun, I need to refine my technique a lot. 

           Did this as a Monochromatic work for the Mixed Media Mojo June art challenge. Oops, the sun rays I painted from the top right corner are almost invisible!!
           Got inspired by this quote
"Your wings already exist, All you have to do is FLY!"

           The flowers were from an artwork I saw online ages ago & the butterfly girl is my imagination!!

           So I started with a rough pencil sketch of the flowers, added watercolors & added salt to the background to create a splotchy effect.

           Then I drew the butterfly/girl & coloured that too.

           Then went on to draw the outline for everything using my Pilot V5 0.5 black pen.

           Added some texture paste to the right side of the sheet because I felt it was kinda emptier compared to the rest!!

           And finally wrote the words using my Pilot pen & then used watercolor with my fingers to create an uneven border.
           Here we go.....
