Graciellie Design Birthday Blog hop

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.

Supplies used :  Tulips & Daisies

You are Awesome: Floral Card

Hiya Crafty peeps,

Happy Tuesday!

Am here today with a last moment entry to the current Altenew challenge.

Over to the project!

• Onto Canson Watercolor card, stamped roses and leaves from Altenew's Bold Blossoms stamp set in Antique linen distress ink.
• Tried no line coloring using Zig clean color brush pens.
• The florals and leaves are fussy cut once done.
• Onto the watercolor cs, misted the bg heavily with water and dropped the colors of blue followed by yellow from Gansai Tambi watercolors to create a hazy bg.
• I went for a hint of colors in the bg.
• Once dried, splattered fine black paint over the panel.
• Added a chipboard and onto which the fussy cut florals and leaves are added with adhesive tapes.
• Then generously spattered white paint onto the panel to make the whole card come together.
• Sentiment from Altenew's You are stamp set is white heat embossed onto a black cs and added to the panel.
• Few clear dew droplets for added interest.

Hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!

Floral Heart & Banners : Graciellie Designs

Hi Friends,

Made a CAS card today using Graciellie Designs Floral Heart & banners digital set. It's a love at first sight.

• Printed this gorgeous digi with sentiment onto a watercolor cardstock.
• Watercolored using Zig clean color brush markers.
• Shadows and highlights using Prima colored pencils.
• To create further interest added white gel pen wherever needed.
• Used gray brown zig marker to add a shadow around the floral heart to make that heart pop against the whole white space.
• Love the white space much here and so just added few enamel dots as accents near the sentiment.
• Trimmed and bordered the cs with black cs matting and mounted onto A2 white card base.
