Your Kindness : Graciellie Designs

Hi Friends,

Made a CAS card using the floral stamps from "Your Kindness", Graciellie Designs. One of my favorites for its lovely sentiments and floralspray.

• Printed the digitals onto Neenah solar white 110lb cs.
• Colored using Alcohol markers.
• Added the white gel pen for highlights.
• Used Black soot distress marker on the cut edges of the floral spray after its fussy cut.
• Added this florals and sentiment banner onto the embossed Black cs (Weave 3D Embossing Folder WRMK)
• Then matted over a white A2 sized card base.
• Few yellow enamel dots as accents.

Hope you like this simple card.

Be sure to check the Graciellie shop for more gorgeous digital stamps.

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.

Brush Calligraphy: Travel Tag

Hi Crafty peeps,

Seized a moment to do some calligraphy drills. And, as always ended with Rumi's quote.

Used Pentel touch brush pen for doing brush calligraphy here. These pens are short nibbed ones and gives a crisp neat outcome always!

Chopped this MUDRA XL tag a bit to suit my need. Ultra smooth surface is just perfect not only for stamping but also for the Calligraphy!

Quote on one side and recipient's name on the other side! 

My neighbour here came to surprise me before her India trip with some Homemade, but ended up getting these Tags as her surprise :) Made 1 for her and one teeny tiny name tag for her baby girl's bag.

That's how handmade brings in Joy to the souls around us :) 

Hope you to like it!

Thanks for stopping by!
