Mom - you are my queen

Hi guys,

I am back with one more post on mothers day card...

Though I am late but happy that I could make something meaningful. A card which conveys my best feelings for my MOM.

I think every Girls Queen is her MOM.

First my card....

Some close ups too

For this card I have used white card base. Applied distress oxides with Tim holtz rays stencil. Stamped the bird image from again Tim Holtz clear stamps set and coloured it with zig markers.

I have used two die cuts for M letter and coloured using distress inks. Adhered all the three to make MOM word on my card. It looked adorable. 

As I wanted the sentiment to be "You are my Queen" , took a Craftert companion die with Downtown Abbey icons. Cut a crown from the die set and embellished it with pearls and Rhine stones.

Finally placed the crown on birds head and yeh.... My card is ready.

The sentiment is hand written on black card base with white gel pen.

Hope u guys enjoyed my post and Thanks you for visiting.

FLORAL GIFT TAGS

Hello Friends,

Hi, Hope u all are busy with your creations.

We always need tags for our gifts so lets first see the simple yet attractive tags I made using floral stamp set "wild flower". 

And another one....

For both these tags I have used same technique that is  paper smooching technique....

Took a water colour card stock and die cut it with rectangular die...it measures 3.5 inches by 2 inches. For the tags this size is almost perfect. I had smooched the card stock with two different shade of red for the first tag and with two different shade of blue for the second tag.I have used Gansai tambi watercolours.

After the colours dried added some splatters of colour with water brush to give more interest to the tags.

As we use tags on gifts, I love to add a plane die cut ( used Expressions craft plane card stock) of same size on the back of each tag , this gives a good finished look plus some space for personalised message on the tags. I stamped the floral image on a plain white card stock with archival ink fussy cut it and adhered it on the prepared tag. Attached both the die cuts with the help of a jute twine of coordinating colour

My third tag is a bit different have a look...

I made the base with the same technique of smooching and then stamped the floral image using darker coloured distress inks on the paper, added the sentiment with archival ink. 

Hope u all like the tags and use this simple technique to make them  and beautify your gifts.

DECOUPAGE TRAY AND COASTERS

Hi Friends

Till now I have only posted cards making on my blog, But my passion always was many more crafty things like decoupage, scrapbooking,making things from felt, embroidery, crochet and knitting and stitching too.

And today I am sharing one of the crafts with u and that is Decoupage....

I have made deoupage trays and coasters from beautiful Expressions crafts decoupage papers. 

Have a look at my creation first and then i will explain u how i made this.

These lovely coasters along with the tray are made from decoupage papers from Expressions crafts.

First take the mdf base which is to be decorated. Apply white gesso all over the surface and let it dry. Now, make it smooth by rubbing the surface with fine quality sand paper. Clean the surface with a damp cloth. Apply a good coordinating colour (chalk paints) or a contrast colour(chalk paint)  what ever u like to the base and let it dry.

Now your base is ready to be decoupaged. 

Take the decoupage paper measure and cut according to the required size for the tray, and for the coasters cut it little larger than the size.

Take a sponge applicator and glue the surface. Stick the paper by rubbing with your fingers and thumb on the glued area.Apply the glue very little at a time to cover small areas  so that you get a fine finish and good results.Take care that no air remains beneath the paper.For the coasters after the paper is properly stuck on the mdf surface take sandpaper and rub the edges to take off the excess paper.

Let the tray and coasters dry properly and then apply two coates of glue ove the paper to give a good finish.Take care to dry each time you apply the glue.

Finally for giving some distressed look I have applied little black paint on the edges of the tray and coasters using just fingers.

Added a jute twine around the tray handles to make it lool more beautiful....

Yeah......it is read. But to make it water proof apply one or two layer of varnish to give it a shiny look and a good finish.

Now its read to use...

Guys....I have a video tutorial too for this process .....

Have a look at more pics and the video...

Hope u all like my project....

Love....

Colourful stenciled card

Hi crafty friends,

Today I have come up with card which I had made just as an experiment to see how the image comes out when the inner lining of a stencil is traced with a black micro pen.

And I was amazed at the results.

First have a look at my card ..... 

I used a plain white watercolour card base and used expressions crafts doily lace stencil for the image. After tracing with micron pen I coloured the image with Zig markers in rainbow colours. This gave me these beautiful colourful image. 

As I didn't want to spoil the beautiful lace design I just used a "HAPPY" die from Winnie&Walter to cut the sentiment from the card. I also made different rainbow coloured die cuts from the same die. staked them up and adhered beneath the first die cut. 

Finished off my card with a birthday sentiment embossed on a red card stock and adhered the card on a red card base too.

Its a simple yet beautiful rainbow colours card. Loved the results and found an unsual way of using a stencil.

Few more closeups of my card....

Hope u guys like it.

Floral spring card

Hi everyone, 

It was my daughters birthday on 29th march and I made this beautiful card for her. I did not want to write a simple birthday message but something different for her card, so I chose to write "U R Precious" on the card and "Gift from God" for the inside of the card.

It came out so so elegant and pretty that I just fall in love with my card. Have a look at my card first......

I am sure u all will be happy to see this beauty..

I made this card using a smooth watercolour paper. Heat embossed the images of flowers, leaves and buds from Altnew "Striped floral" stamp set with white embossing powder.

Coloured the flowers and leaves with Ghansai watercolours which gave me such beautiful results. Fussy cut the images and adhered them on my card base which I had splattered with some blue and black inks. Also I had distressed the card base with some "Broken china" distress inks.

Finally heat embossed the sentiment on a black card base with white embossing powder.Adhered the sentiment with two way tapes to give a raised look.

She was  happy to receive this card on her birthday.

I would like to share some closeups too.

Hope u all like my card.
