2 cards and the dress picture

Hi guys, another quick share, sharing 2 cards and the much awaited dress of which I had designed for my daughter's concert on Saturday.

The first card was inspired by my friend's saree, she asked if it was possible to make a card inspired by the pattern. In India, bandhini design is very popular, it is a tie and dye method to create patterns on the cloth. It was a challenging card, after trashing 2 cards, I finally got a bit satisfying one for the third.

I chose the colors inspired by her saree, red and black. Chose a red base, and inked up the bottom with black ink, and used a fine point black pen to draw circles, and used a gel pen to add details. All these sarees have some kind of gold or silver border, so added a strip of golden glitter at the bottom.
I used WPlus9 -embroidered bouquet stamp, for the tiny french roses and stamped around the card. The sentiment is also from the same set.

Below is the saree of my friend.

The second card is a water colored background one. I used pentel's watercolors to create a background, and then stamped and fuzzy cut the flowers from Paper Smooches - Botanicals 3 set. Used a corner punch for the front, and added it using a foam adhesive. The sentiment is from Uniko Studio.

A whole tree

Hi friends, hope all is well with you guys. I have been going through a busy time. With various things, so crafting has taken a back seat, finally bit of free time today. I will be off blogging for a while in coming few days, going for a holiday in less than a week.
I made this card yesterday evening.

I have used a digi image today, last month,I won10  DeeDees digis at a challenge. I thought one of the set is very much suitable for the casology challenge. I was a regular here, and I find myself not playing every week nowadays, so thought of playing this week.
I used the tree digi, and cut it in a small focus panel, and used foam adhesive to give  a dimension. The sentiment is also from the same set. In addition, I had stamped some tiny leaves from, actually these are tiny petals from AltNew - lacy scrolls in crushed olive. I wanted some scattered leaves around the card. That is all, I cannot say I have a lot here.

I added a glittery purple tape. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant - water blooms. I added tiny sequins to the tiny flowers, and few regular ones as well to finish off.

Inking on a cold day

Happy Monday to all. Second week in December  already, 10 days of school left for the month.
It was bit cold during the weekend, the temperature fell to 12C....which is not very cold when compare to the minus, this year is going easy.
I did some inking on Saturday. I have these picture from Facebook to use as my inspiration.
I used a white base, and used many different shades of pigment ink in green, and purple to ink the first card. I love the after effect, it looks lovely to my eyes ;)
I put together the card yesterday evening.

I used a star stamp and heat embossed in silver, ans also doodled some starts with a silver gel pen as well. The die cut silhouette houses are from Paper Smooches.
The sentiment is from Kaisercraft.
I hope you all like the finished card.
