Heat embossed and water colored butterflies

Happy Sunday all. I am sharing a card, which is very different from my style.
I am up with an experimental card. I saw this picture on FB, my high school friend had shared it, and I was immediately inspired to make a card of it.
It was butterflies painted in various shades of colors with a bright pink background.

I used Uniko's butterflies here, I stamped in black ink, and heat embossed in clear embossing powder. Th embossing has a nice shine.
Then I used the zig markers to add color to the butterflies, and blended the colors with the water brush.
The pink is also added using zigmarker.
I stamped the sentiment from STAMplorations here, in between the gaps I had in between the butterflies, luckily I managed to stamped well.
A few big gold rhine stones, and rounded the corners at the bottom to finish off. I hope you like it.

You can see the embossing shining here

Watercolored lotuses

Hey all, my second post. Just trying to post the cards sitting on my desk.

This one was made quite a while back, I water-colored the lotuses from Waffle Flower, and fussy cut to add to the card. I used Tim Holtz woodgrain stencil to sponge the water. Stamped the sentiment and a few dragonflies from the same set. I also sponged the top to give a sky feel, a few rhine stones to finish off.

Watercolor, and an acetate strip

Hey all, I am up with a simple card. I colored these for the daily marker challenge, and converted it to a card.
I used the Originally Organics from Uniko, and stamped in grey ink from Lawn Fawn, and used zigs to water color these. I then used the ARTplorations bubble stencil and used blue, green and orange to sponge the colors in.
The sentiment is from the same set, added on a strip with a foam adhesive.
I used a textured pale green base, for the front I had added a strip of acetate at the bottom, just for some interest.
I hope you all like this card.

Joyeux Noel

Good morning/day everyone. I am up with a Christmas card.

I had used digi images here, I won these last year or so, and though of putting to use.

I printed these on a water color paper, and colored using zig markers, and then fussy cut to add to the card.
The background is a Christmas pattern Paper, I love the chalkboard effect on the pattern patter, it makes a cool background, with all the Christmas greetings.
The sentiment is also part of the digi, and I simply lined it up with a red and gold card stock, and I added a few big red rhine stones, punched the corners to finish off.

TCC - #61

Hello all, time for a new challenge at the card concept, a very pretty picture in pink for you all to get inspired.

 

I was inspired by the pink, the typewrite, and the rose here .

I used a white base, and a pink front. The typewriter is from STAMplorations, the rose id from my custom stamps, I stamped and fussy cut to use.

I stamped the sentiment in a fading fashion. 

I have used grey glitter paper to line the top and bottom.

A few jewels to finish off.

I did sponging for the background, it is nked using distress inks in the shades of blue and purple.
The die cut is from paper Smooches, used partial die cut technique for this, and stamped the sentiment from Technique Tuesday - home is. Then I used some splatters using the gold water color paints, and doodled some starts in the background.

Sponged and die cut

Hey everyone, I am up with a simple thank you card.
I started with a watercolor paper, and did sponging using distress inks. Then I ran the panel using the Paper Smooches Super2 die for the house.
I stamped the leaves from gently seasoned set from PS, and fussy cut to add to the card. The bare tree is also from the same set.
I arranged a few leaves on the tree, and a few at the bottom of the card.
The sentiment is also from Paper Smooches, a few rhinestones to finish off.
