Altenew Persian motifs - Monogram card

Hello!!

Don't we all love receiving and giving out personalized gifts to our loved ones? Something like Monogrammed gifts... It can be a wall frame, a desktop frame or a handmade card. 

I personally love making such projects focusing on the alphabet and decorating it to complement the recipient. 

Today, I am sharing a video tutorial on my channel to show how to make a Monogram card without using any dies. My finances do not allow me to invest in all those expensive dies :(

My Monogram card!

I have purposely taken the most curved alphabet for making my card, just to show how easily it can be done.

Also, I have hand-drawn the letter, but you can print out the same.

For detailed tutorial hop over to my YT channel and check the video here.

Ink # 199

 Hello friends!

(Back after a super busy last week with lots of Diwali celebrations. 

I am still in the mood of celebrations. I hope to get back to normal soon enough.)

It's time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational challenges where the theme is One layer cards.

Sharing my One layer card here.

I have used the Wallpaper art stamp set by Altenew. 

I stamped the leaf image from the stamp set on the card using a combination of Lawn Fawn dye ink and distress ink. Stamped the sentiment. 

Hope you like my card.

Hop over to the challenge blog to see more beautiful inspirations by my team-mates.

Happy Birthday (Wallpaper art)

Hello!!

A set of new cards on my blog today using the Wallpaper art stamp set by Altenew.

I have also tried the No-line colouring technique for both of them.

The images are watercoloured using Zig clean brush markers.

Both the cards are the same in design except for the colouring part.

 Card 1

The colouring here is in lighter tones. 

I did just a single layer of colouring and shading here. 

I did some background stamping in green. Adhered the leaves and popped the flower against them.

Card 2

I have done multiple layers of colouring here. Adding colours to build up the layers. 

I have also added some pencil detailing using Faber Castell Polychromos. 

Here, I did some background stamping in grey. 

Adhered the leaves and popped the flower against them.

Embellished the cards using some sequins by Studio Katia. Stamped the sentiment and foam mounted the panels on a card base.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Bday - (Altenew - Book club)

 Hello friends...

With the new 30-day colouring challenge by Kathy going on, it's time to explore and try/use new stamps. 

I have used the Altenew's Book club stamp set today. 

As you can see I couldn't stop at one card, I had to make three.

I stamped them all on the watercolour paper and coloured with Zig markers. 

I had no intention of making them into cards. But The stamp design is such that you do not need any other details on the cards. So making cards was quicker.

To make it look as a whole, I stamped some leaves from Altenew Painted flowers on two cards. On one card with grey ink and on the other with green ink.

On the third card, I stamped the same florals from the Book Club stamp in grey ink across one border.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts and the dye inks for background stamping are by Lawn Fawn.

Individual pictures.

That's all for today.

I am still learning the skills of water colouring and would really appreciate any tips or feedback for improvement. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Birthday LO

Hi, Friends!!

I have a new Birthday layout here today.

For this LO,

I began with marking the placement of the photograph which i die-cut using a stitched circle die. Die-cut another circle from a pattern paper from Perfectly plaid by LawnFawn. After adhereing the pattern paper and foam mounting the photograph in place, I stamped the sentiment "It's your day" on either side. Stamped colourful hearts and stars around the sentiment. 

For the flowers, I have used the Altenew painted flowers stamp set. Stamped the flowers with various Lawnfawn inks and fussy cut them. Foam mounted the flowers around the photographs. Stamped the filler leaves around the flowers. 

Stamped the sentiment from "Magical birthday" from Simon says Stamps. Mounted the sentiment on a black and glitter strip and adhered it in between the flowers. 

Lastly, added colourful sequins around the layout to add some element. 

 Few more pics...

  

Thank you for dropping by my blog. Would love to hear from you.
