Snowdrops with bubbles - Uniko DT inspiration

Hello friends, I am up with a simple watercolored card using the spring botanicals from Uniko. I have used the Snowdrop set here.

The flowers are watercolored using the Zigs and used pencils fro details.

I have used a distress oxide for the backdrop.

The sentiment is from stash.

Pencil colored Coneflowers

Hello friends, today I am with a simple card.

This coloring was done way back in April for #thedailymarkerchallenge.

The coneflowers are digital stamps from Power Poppy, I had used Prismacolor pencils to color....I have so many colored florals which need to be converted to cards, but my lack of Mojo is taking it much longer than I thought it would to make these cards.

I fussy cut the flowers and added to the base card. I have done ink blending on the base card using various inks, and also added a stencil from ARTploration to create the bokeh background. Finally added the flowers with foam adhesive, the sentiment is from Uniko, a few jewels to finish of this card.

I am liking how the card has come out, hope you do too!

For sure one flower I am smitten by in the recent times is coneflower and wish to grow, only if I have a garden.

A basket full of flowers

Hello everyone, a very gloomy day here in my part of the world, its has been almost three weeks since, we last saw some sun. I am in desperate need of some much needed sunshine and bright day. I was telling my hubby that the government should put up an artificial sun to at least fake the feeling of sun..LOL, I need SUN.

Anyway, regardless of the weather, I am doing my best to cheer myself up, so made a flowery cheerful card. I used a white base, and I had weaved a paper basket using some kraft card stock. It's been a while since I did weaving for my cards. I did the handle to with the same card stock. and the flowers and leaves are stamped and fussy cut, and added using a foam adhesive. These  are from Mama Elephant - water blooms, and so is the sentiment too. Its a pretty simple card, nothing much going on it. I love it though, my daughter loved it, and said, "Mama, you could use eggs instead of flowers in the basket, to make an easter card". Well, will see ;) Hope you like this simple card.
Oops, forgot to mention that, I also added some paper swirls, I don't know why but I felt a compulsion to add those, and rhine stones to the flower centers.

Oh yes, weaving makes me absolutely happy, so joining in here.

The Mixed Media Card Challenge

Handmade flower stencil

I don't own any flower stamps yet, might get it one day. I am reasonably ok at drawing flowers and leaves (studying botany did come handy here ;) ). So I drew few flowers, I wasn't thinking of any particular flower, just a freehand. Cut out, saved the flower for later to do maskings, and used the stencil.
I had a super busy day at school, and when I sat down in the night to do the ink blending, it was incredibly relaxing! Used 3 different shades of yellow to ink the flowers. Black ink for the center,  and added some transparent glitter glue to give more dimension to the flowers. With a light hand, I went on to ink the white patches in between the flowers.
Was going to stamp a sentiment, but my darling daughter was working besides me on her homework,  and suggested not to stamp anything unless I want to spoil the beauty - really?? You can see I took her advice. (I trust her artistic intuitions,  she is much more better than me).

Star burst card

Made this Star burst card after a long time. I chose a white card stock, and the pattern paper is from the spring collection.
The bloom, I had cut it from another pattern paper, I like this flower's newsprint look.
Couple of leaves, and I had up cycled the twine, it came in a package material. It looked too useful to throw away. It is palm fiber.
Added the sentiment, on the designer paper, and continued along the star burst pattern. It is a card for a friend.
A floral button and two hearts as embellishments to wind up the card. 

A closer look at the bloom, and the palm fiber twine.

The sentiments on the star burst panels.

Posting this card with the 

CASE Study, I like the flower and the sentiments attached with the flower, and all the different shapes in the inspiration card. I added the flower, but added the sentiments on the star burst panel. Added 2 hearts to give the different shapes look in my card. this is my take on the inspiration picture.

TIME OUT Challenges

I love the flower, and the color orange in here, and of course the twine. These were my inspiration from the above card. So my card is mostly orange, with a flower and of course the twine.

CASE Study just one more casing of one of my favorite artist in the card making world. I am casing

Dawn Olchefske, she is an amazing card maker, I love all her works.

I made the star burst card with her inspiration, but a different look.

Fantasy garden ~ straw blow painting

My first time doing a straw blow painting, chose trees to experiment since I thought trees are pretty easy, my thoughts before I got started. Of course, trees weren't that easy as I was thinking they would be.
Call me crazy but yes I chose blue and orange to do my trees. These are trees from a fantasy world, like Alice in Wonderland ;)

Used my daughter's Chinese painting  colors for this project

The process of blowing the straw, I surely have a long way to go!

Muse : Challenge #64, I really likes the colors in the inspiration card, but have done trees instead of the flowers.
