Rainbow layout

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am happy to share a layout I made recently using stamps and dies from Pink fresh studio. I used Foliage shaker die and Sunflower washi tape stamp for the layout. I had some leftover cardstock and using the monthly challenge theme from Pink fresh studio, I made a background. I made some fringe cuts on the cardstock and stacked theme in VIBGYOR order. I die cut vellum and silver cardstock using foliage die. I stamped sunflowers on vellum sheet and heat embossed with white and did the same on black cardstock as well. I wanted to go contrast with background. I didn't colour much on black but just gave very mild shading. I printed out my pics and added them to the layout. I finished with a sentiment and some gemstones.

Sending hugs card

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am sharing a card I am made using Craft-A-Flower: Tulip Full Bloom Layering Die Set and Flourishing Garden 3D embossing folder from Altenew. I have some layering dies but I hardly use them but since there was little time, I decided to make a card using tulip dies and embossing folder. I die cut the petals from orange card stock and leaves from green then I did some ink blending on the die cut pieces. I made two flowers thinking I will add both but changed my mind. I want a 3D look to the flower so added the first one and using foam adhesive I added the second flower to some dimension and a 3D look (its not seen on the pic but looks nice in real). Using black cardstock, I did dry embossing with 3D folder and added it to note card and finished it with a sentiment.

Life is a fairytale

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am sharing another card which I made yesterday evening after putting my daughter to sleep. I picked out the house, fairy and deer from Pinterest and printed in on a cardstock. I printed the house twice as I wanted to give some dimension. I fuzzy cut the image and from one of the images, I cut the door and added it using foam adhesive. I added a couple of flowers from I am roses - R75(S) -YCC (25Pcs) and S10 Achillea Cottage. Once I was done with the images, I added a couple of beads and a sentiment.
