Blue Hibiscus flowers

 Hello friends, I am up with another hibiscus flower card today, using my digi. You can download this digi here if interested. If you use it on a project, kindly add #designsbyrahmat , so that I can find you and see your work.

I do have a video for this coloring and card, watch here if you want to.

I had layered the flowers in different sizes, and colored using Zigs for the initial watercolor layer and then Prismacolor pencils. Once the coloring was done, I simply added the panel to a card base.

I added the stamped sentiment from Altenew and the die cut from Avery Elle to finish off the card.

As you can see no other techniques other than coloring is done here.

Holding you in my heart

 Hello everyone, a simple share today using my Rose digital stamp, you can see it here.

I printed the image and colored using the Prismacolor pencils, then I had fussy cut the images to add to the card.

I used hickory smoke ink to stencil the heart using CrafTangles Heart stencil, and then I have arranged the flowers around the heart. A part of the design is cut into parts, to fill in the heart as needed. All the flowers are added using foam adhesive, so they pop on the front.

The sentiment is from Altenew, and perfect foe someone who is going through difficult times, today is one such day for me too, and this card is actually made to comfort myself. I added the silver glitter tape from Altenew and the sentiment strip is added above that, also added a tiny leaf to go with the design.

TIME OUT Challenge

Joining in with a comfort card.V for this very important awareness, and I myself had gone through a scare earlier this year. I am very grateful that everything is well with me, but I have few friends who are going through it, and I think of them and talk to them very often to show my support and encourage them. It's needed very much.

Introducing Lotus digital stamp

 Hello friends, I am up with another illustration which I turned to a digital stamp.

Its inspired by lotus pictures, if you happen to follow me on instagram, you would see my love for lotuses during summers. I always capture numerous pictures of lotuses. It's a childhood fantasy for me, I always wanted to see and hold lotuses as a child but these flowers were available only in books to see. It was in the year 2003 the first time I saw the lotus up-close in our hotel residence, and I was so thrilled and bowled over. Though since then I have seen so many lotuses so often, but that fantasy part is still intact!

So I took one of my most recent captures of the lotuses from June, and illustrated one close to it. 

The lotus, bud, and the lotus pads are all individual digital stamps, I just layered these together to create my design.

I have added 2 new pages to my blog, where you can see my designs as well as another page where the free downloads are available.

I used the zig brush pens to color the initial watercolor layer and then used the Prismacolor pencils to color and add details.

This coloring was done over the stretch of 3 days, as I couldn't focus on it. Partly because my body hates the transition weather and it throws me off balance, thanks to my hypothyroidism and I really go through bad brain fog and lack of concentration days, this has become a way of life during the onset of Spring and Autumn for me. As the days go by, I find my way back and get used to the weather changes.

Another reason is with the approaching of 8th October, the day my dad left this world, I tend to get sad and have no interest in crafting or anything. I can't believe that it will be 2 years soon since he is gone.

Anyways I was not supposed to sing my sad saga and distract you guys, but it's life and my blog is like my journal at times, so I do share my thoughts from time to time 😉

So let's look at the card and coloring pictures now!

I partial fussy cut the stamps from both sides and added silver glitter strip to the edges, used foam adhesive for the front. The sentiment is from Altenew.

I hope you like my illustration here.

Uniko Challenge Reminder

 Hello friends, I am with a card for reminding the Uniko Challenge.

I was Inspired by autumn here for my card.

I used distress oxides to ink blend a watercolor card, then used the Nature's Treasure stencil and inked the leaves, and then splattered some water for some interest and then watercolored the leaves and added some details using prismacolor pencils.

The sentiment is stamped from the set - Kindness blooms, I mounted the front with a kraft base to finish it off.

Introducing Rose digital stamp

 Hello friends, it's October already!

I had been illustrating quite a bit nowadays and last month, I decided to put out these as digital stamps Last month I have introduced 2 digital stamps - Hibiscus and Fuchsias from my illustrations.

This month I am introducing the first stamp - Rose. It is a corner design with some leaves and buds. I posted the peek of another one I shared on my Instagram stories yesterday, but you will see what's another flower I will be introducing in next few days.

I used Prismacolor pencils to color the image, and then did partial fussy cutting along the design and created a rectangle panel as well. I added the front using a foam adhesive.

For some reason the framed look was looking sort of incomplete, so I added some silver sequin foils along the framed edges. The sentiment is from Uniko, a few jewels to finish it off.

I hope you like this illustration of mine.
