DIWALI CARDS 2017

Hello All,

Today I am sharing my third set of Diwali Cards. I made these on a friend's request. The design is same as my previous year Diwali Card as he wanted these only.

I have used 3 embossing folders - 2 from spellbinders and 1 from Stampin Up to create embossed background. Then distress them with different combos of distress inks. Added gold embossed happy diecut  to add that touch of gold.

I have made 10 cards in different colors -

Sorry for the bad pictures..Cards are brighter than in pics.

Hope you like them

Distress Ink Background

Hello Friends,

Today I am sharing a very simple card. I have created a background using distress inks. Since distress inks are very reactive so I decided to experiment a little with them.

First have a look at  my finished card

To create the background I took a piece of Neenah Solar White Cardstock and applied broken china & chipped sapphire distress inks.Then using chipped sapphire I stamped a flower from Hero Arts Blossom Stamp set all over the distressed cardstock. Since distress inks remain wet for sometime so they can be used for embossing as well. So I applied clear embossing  powder over the stamped flowers and heat set it with heat gun.

Now the fun part begins. I took fabric whitener which we use at home. Dipped the brush into it and applied it on the flowers. Distress ink reacted with it turning the areas lighter. And if applied more areas will turn white. This is how I got this background.

To finish off the card I cut down the background cardstock into a panel and adhere it to A2 card base. I also  used happy die from Simon Says Stamp. I used five diecuts and stick them one above the other to get the dimension. Finally added this chipboard looking diecut over the vellum.

And I'm Back

Hello Friends,

How you all are doing ? It's been long long since I posted anything. I was not blogging for last few months so missed visiting your blogs. Though I was active on facebook. Last few months were the toughest time of my life. Mom's heart attack, angioplasty n my leg's fracture all happened in just 4 days. By God's grace everything is fine now n I have started crafting again.

Few days back when I sat down to make a card, I found my mojo is completely lost. After two days of struggle with layering, embellishments, I finally manage to complete this card.

This is a double pocket card with tags. It was in my to-do-list and decided to make it when I saw current challenge theme at lulupu blog. The background is handmade using distress inks. I have shared a tutorial on it on CCC blog during my DT term. If you wish, you can check it out here. The white flower is heat embossed on vellum. I have also tried my new tool -corner chomper on tags. I love this tool as it can be used on variety of materials to round off the edges. Here are few more views -
