One layer Autumn card

Hello friends, back with a fall card today. 

Today is mid autumn festival here in Macau.

I absolutely love autumnal shades and I try to make at least one card per season using these colors.

I made a quick one layer card, took more time to design in my head than on paper!

I have used distress oxides to ink blend the panel after masking it.

The stamps and sentiment is from MFT - beautiful blooms.

I colored some scattered bubbles also to go along with the design.

African Violets

 Hello friends, I am up with an illustration of mine.

I have illustrated African Violets and these came decent, so I decided to convert to a card.

I have made a short timelapse video on the coloring, do watch if interested.

Once the coloring was done, I had fussy cut the image.

I used the mega bloom stencil from Altenew and traced it using an Awl.

The image is added to the base using foam adhesive . Stamped the sentiment  from Altenew.

Guest Designer for TIME OUT Challenge

 Hello friends, today I am delighted to be guest designing with TIMEOUT Challenge.

Thank you for having me over at your blog 😊

They have a beautiful inspiration to get inspired.

I was inspired by the Succulents, woodgrain as well as the mandala pattern from the picture, so I have incorporated all the elements on my card.

Altenew is the sponsor for the challenge and I used Altenew products on my card.

I have used the Enchanted Iris set and used the Iris leaves to stretch my stamps to create the succulent.

I stamped in green and used Prismacolor pencils to color the leaves and then fussy cut assembled to create the succulent. The pot is also created using the swiping technique on cardstock using the inkpad.

I used foam adhesive to add this to the front.

I used Uniko marvelous Mehndi Mandala in Versafine watermark ink to create a faded tone on tone background. I wanted the Mandala there, but not in a dominating way.

Then I used another distress ink to create the woodgrain using the same swiping technique I used for the pot.

The sentiment is from the same set from Altenew.

Double Appliqué work using MFT die-namics

 Hello friends, I am up with another sewing card today.

I have used MFT die-namics Wild Greenery here to mimic the look of Applique work. I hope you know what it is!

It is also called patch work in terms of embroidery, where you stitch a small patch of design on to your main fabric.

I have used the leaf die cuts here as the small pieces sewn on the card front.

I first sewed the leaves, then I went ahead and also added stitches to the circle frame, hence the title - Double Applique work!

I actually don't have any MFT stamps on me currently, my stamps are either in India or the Phillipines, and thanks to the pandemic I can't travel at the moment. Luckily I had these die cuts on me, and wanted to give it a try making something with these.

Here are some process pictures, I actually made part of it in the night, so the lighting is not that great, but the finished project is photographed in daylight.

Here is the first step of die cut leaves, I have simply dabbed some ink pads on the white leaves to get some fall colors, and then added. those to the card front.

I pierced holes around the leaves for sewing

The back side after piercing the holes

and now the stitched leaves from back, I always capture how the backside looks too.

I cut out an edged circle around the stitched leaves and added to the card front, and also stitched around the circle to give a subtle framed look.

Then I added the printed sentiment, since I don't have any MFT stamps, I decided to print my own sentiment. The smaller sentiment is edged with gold glitter strip, and the bold one is added with foam adhesive.

I added an orange glitter strip to the top and bottom of the front, and also added a few score lines.

A few jewels to finish off the card.

Made this for the MFT Superstar 2020 Innovation Master contest

Colored front and colored background

Hello friends, nowadays I am trying to convert my previous colorings to cards, I posted one yesterday, but it was not for any challenge, so just on Instagram. It was a beautiful illustrated and colored jasmine flowers.

Anyways, for todays card also this coloring was done way back in April and i converted to a card.

I have used the digital stamp from Power Poppy here, colored using Prismacolor pencils. I inked the Background using distress inks, and then used a stencil from ARTplorations to give more depth, and add interest.

The sentiment is from Altenew. I trimmed the front and was with this beautiful inked strip, so decided tp add that tot he card base and then I went looking for a suitable sentiment to fit on that, never worked backwards, but glad I found a suitable sentiment to fit on the strip!

Embroidered Iris

Hello friends, I am up with a stitched card today!
This stitching was done over a good few hours, and then I was kind of stuck if I wanted to convert it to a card or something else, finally settled to make a card.

You can stop by my Instagram @rahmat.ccc to see the progress of the stitching of this iris.

I stamped the iris on a fabric and used shaded purple floss to sew the flower and green for the stem and leaves.
I used the sunburst stencil from Altenew to dry emboss, and stamped the sentiment on the plain part for fun.
The flower is added with foam adhesive, I added some jewels to finish off the design.
