Friends & Flowers : Floral card

Hi Bloggy pals,

Coloring and Cardmaking are the routines in my 'Me' time. It's hard to get a stretch of few hours to play my favorite Mixed media techniques.

Nevertheless, Calligraphy and Coloring taking much of my time and making my days :) 

Over to my card,

• Stamped Mudra Wild rose onto Canson Montval watercolor paper in Antique Linen DI.
• Watercolored using Gansai Tambi watercolors.
• Highlighted and deepened the shadows using Prisma colored pencils.
• Fussy cut the florals and set aside.
• Took a grey cardstock and cut one edge using MFT bracket edge duo die.
• Then embossed the panel using an embossing folder.
• Stamped the sentiment from IBS on the cardbase.
• Matted this embossed die-cut panel over A2 sized white top fold cardbase.
• Splashed 
• Generously watered down White acrylic over embossed panel and fussy cut florals.
• Mounted the florals using foam adhesives as well as double sided tapes for dimension.
• Added few white pearls as accents.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pencil colored Roses Card

Hey Hi All,

Floral mood is still on here. And it calls for pencil coloring. This time, on Strathmore Toned Tan sketch paper. The subtle textures of paper gives the much needed tooth for the prisma colored pencils to color on. Absolutely love the way the colors blend in here to do several layers.

• Took Strathmore Toned Tan and stamped Mudra Freshcut roses using Antique Linen DI for a no line pencil coloring.
• Used Prisma colored pencils for coloring.
• Die-cut the panel using Spellbinders frame die.
• Stamped the sentiment from IBS Tulip Bouquet stampset (Retired company)
• Matted over a black cardstock.
• Mounted this panel over the 4x6 white top fold cardbase.
• Added few clear dew droplets for the interest.

Hope you like it!

• Colored the image with Chameleon markers carefully inside the periphery of the images.

• Finally Fabercastell Polychromos colored pencils are used to bring out shades and shadows to the images.
• Sentiment is stamped from the same stampset using Memento tuxedo black ink.
• Few clear dew droplets were added as accents.
• Then the focal panel is added to the standard A2 sized black card base.

Second card:

For this card, i made use of Gorgeous Magnolia Stampset, giving it a bit of Mixed media touch.

• Took  12x12cm top fold kraft cardbase.
• Then took a white focal panel which is bit lesser in size, is distressed around the edges.
• Bit of stenciling done using TCW- Tile using Prima Light base tinted with Hickery Smoke Distress ink.
• Colored ornated chipboard using Black soot distress ink
• Used No line coloring technique for the Magnolia images using Fabercastell polychromes pencils.
• Fussy cut it and kept aside.
• Added the ornated chipboard onto the focal panel with fussy cut image on top and white doily as base.
• Spanish moss, Prima artstone, tinted cheese cloth (Peeled paint distress ink) added along with the colored image, which is popped using Scotch foam adhesive.
• Sentiment is stamped on vellum using Archival ink and added to the focal panel.
• The focal panel is then mounted onto the kraft cardbase using foam adhesives.
