Hi Crafty Friends!

"Happiest Birthday, Gracie Chavez"

Am so delighted to join Graciellie Design Birthday Blog hop for today. We have several new releases and I have used this Uber Gorgeous Tulips from Tulips & Daisies Digital stamp set.

Made a bunch of Tulips and these pretty ones demanded watercoloring and so I colored to my heart's content using Zig clean color brush pens.

Over to the project,

• Printed the tulip digis making a floral spray on a watercolor card.
• Colored using Zig clean color brush pens. Geranium red for petals and for leaves used Green and Dark green brush pens.
• For the bg, used Gansai Tambi watercolors (Green and Yellow)
• Finally sprayed generous amount of watered down white acrylic paint.
• Trimmed and matted this panel over a 4x6" side fold Black card base. (*sentiment is hand stamped)
• As a final touch, added clear dew droplets as accents.

There's Always Sunshine : Graciellie Designs

Hello All,

Am here today with yet another Sunflower series card. Yay! Love this Summer Sunflowers Digital set from Graciellie Designs. This time, I have used one of the lovely paper from the co-ordinating digital paper pack called Summer Sunflowers . I absolutely love this duo release!!

• I took print out of one of the digital paper which has collaged with the Trio Sunflowers and the sentiment.
• Colored the florals using Cretacolor FineArt Graphite pencils - 4B,8B.
• Then the colors are slightly smudged using Mont Morte paper stumps.
• Floral centres are lightly colored using Prisma colored pencil: Cream.
• Matted this panel to black cs.
• And then to the cream top fold 5.5" square card base.
• To go with the sentiment, kept the florals simple with bright bg paper.
• Just few grey enamel dots are added as accents.

Hope the sentiment, bg and the florals go together to convey the meaning :) 

Hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!

Authentic Self: Graciellie Designs

Hey Hi Crafty peeps,

Back again here with a floral card. This time, colored a digital image from Graciellie designs : Authentic. Absolutely love the florals, leaves and the sentiments in this stamp. Each sentiment style refers different mood.

It's my first time, using alcohol markers other than Chameleon pens.

• Printed digital stamps in the Neenah solar crest white cs.
• Colored using my new Alcohol markers. Yay! that's my recent gift of 80 markers. 
• Using three color combos of light, medium, dark, colored the florals and leaves.
• Added few white gel pen dots to the leaves and floral stamens.
• Yet to learn loads as this is entirely different from pencil coloring and watercoloring which am used to!
• Colored using cool grey on the outline of the floral spray.
• Then fussy cut the florals and foam mounted onto a geometric patterned sheet (actually its a packaging sheet of a recent purchase)
• Foam mounted the sentiment banner onto the florals.
• Added this panel to the white top fold A2 sized cardstock. 
• Few purple sequins are added as accents.

Hope you like this card.
