Revealing a secret today........

*Top 3 at Souvushka Slavia

Hey all I have been holding in this secret for quite sometime now, and finally I can let it out in the open 😂 .
I am joining the Encouragement Squad at Casual Friday. When Michele extended the invitation a few weeks back, of course I said YES immediately!!! Click HERE to get to the new challenge blog.
As you all know that I had been participating in the Calling all sistah blog hop regularly, I just liked the cause of the hop, and wanted to be part of it, and I was planning not to miss a single month this year, and then thing opportunity came along, so it all had worked well.
  The format has changed a bit, and got more fun. On the 17th we will still have the reminder post to check yourself against breast cancer, and on 18th every month, the new addition is the Encouragement challenge! here you can play with any type of uplifting or encouragement cards.

Today is my introducing post, and I have a card using the CASual Friday stamps.
I have used the flowers from the Pretty Posies and sentiment from Floating set here.



I used all white front and base. I stamped the flowers on a regular white card, and used zig clean color brush to add color, and blended using a water brush. Then I used the scaNcut to fussy cut the flowers and leaves.
I used Hero Arts Neon sunshine ink to stencil the bubbles in the BG on the front, followed by the sentiment. Then I arranged the flowers using foam adhesive, the leaves are added using tape, no dimension. To finish off, I added a chipboard strip at the base, and added a flower as well, and as usual a few Rhine stones.

Vibrant HIbiscus flowers

 * Honorable Addict at Addicted to stamps and more

Hello blogger peeps, I am up with a card. I actually am crafting on and off but not posting much.

A simple card today, I used Paper Smooches Summer Lovin' set and used Hibiscus flower , and stamped all around the card in random. Colored using the zig clean color markers and used a water brush to blend in the color, added the panel to a white base. The sentiment is added on a strip, it is from the same set, I edged it with a chipboard strip, a few rhine stones to finish off.

Best Mom in the world

Hey peeps hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was quite alright, not much happening here, we tend to stay home as my daughter is still in cast and uses crutches to walk, so don't want to tire her out. I am very positive that she will be off cast on the 30th of this month, but if the doctor decides to get it off beforehand it would be great too, as she will celebrate her 15th birthday on the 25th of this month.

Ok to my card now, I made this over the weekend using the new goodies from Altenew. I had used the pink pirouette ink from SU and worn lipstick distress ink and wild wasabi for the leaves.

The stamps were then i the scanncut for the fussy cut, and I die cut a heart using winnie&walter heart die. created a shaker using some pink and green tiny sequins. i stamped the sentiment inside the shaker.
I ran the front panel through the bigshot using a diagonal stripe embossing folder.
I did stamp a small floral part inside the shaker before sealing it.
A few pink rhine stones to finish off the card.



This one shows of the shaker well

Uniko May Release day

Today is the May release day for the Uniko. I hope you had enjoyed the sets so far, and we have more inspirations today to showcase the stamps for you.

Let's have a look at them...

 

Background Blocks Doodle Flower £4 / £4.95
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2017

This is a simple One layer card. I stamped the set using lawn Fawn Hippo ink, and used markers to add color, and I stamped the sentiment on it in pink shade of ink, and colored it using a marker, and added a cosmo flower using a foam adhesive, a very simple card.
                               Adding this card with Make My Monday Challenge - May flowers

Background Blocks Horizontal Stripe £4 / £4.95

---------------------------------------
For this card I stamped the stamp in shades of pink in no particular order, and then added the embossed bloom on vellum, and stamped the sentiment in a darker shade of pink, from another older set. Finished off with a few pearls. Another pink card.

I am going with the soon to be parents and hoping its a girl 😀

--------------------------------------------------------------------


Happy Succulents £9 / £9.95
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2017


I stamped the succulents in SU wild wasabi ink, and used a green marker to color and added some maroon dots to the the edges, the sentiment is from Originally organics set, and I stamped in red ink from Altenew. I edges the front panel using a chipboard strip, and one of the succulents is added using a foam adhesive.

Anything Goes

-----------------------------------------------

I am sticking with the pink theme for this card as well. Another one layer, and I just used the loose succulent to stamp in Altenew pink ink, and used the forest green for the leaves, I have used the originally Organics set too. I decided to let the leaves be as outlines.  Stamped and fussy cut the sentiment and laded using a foam adhesive on a coiled white floss. and finished off with a few jewels.

Anything Goes 

Inspired by the flowers




Pure Florals: Lily £15 / £15.95
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2017


------------------------------------------
 
I have gone bit wild with the lilies, actually this coloring isn't showing of well in the pictures, but in actual you can see all the defined lines pretty well. I am out of my comfort zone for this card, I usually don't make this much crowded cards, but sometimes I go crazy!😂😂😂
So I used the squeezed Lemonade distress ink to stamp and color on a water color paper, and fussy cut to add. I kind of arranged it in a bouquet fashion, I hope you can see what I see!
The BG is sponged with a bubble stencil in tumbled glass, I added the sentiment on the top.


-----------------------------
For this card I used the color pencils to add color, and the front is edges with a chipboard to one side and rounded on one corner. I decided to add glossy accents to mimic the dew drops.
The sentiment is added  sideways. a few jewels to finish off.

TIMEOUT Challenge
 Flowers with the optional twist of Kissing

-----------------------------

All the above were made by 29th April, and then that evening I received the sad news that a very dear friend of mine has passed away, and that news has thrown me out of my routine, and all I was doing nothing, really nothing! I managed a card after a week yesterday, you might have seen on my Instagram feed.
And this card is made just now, and its 11 am my time, and I am writing the post to live at 4pm my time.
It was a quick card. I just felt that I hadn't done justice to the lily set yet, so another try here to show you guys how cool this bold floral stamp it. I went ahead and stamped all over in random using both the florals.
And used a yellow and green zig clean color marker to add and blend the color with a water brush
The sentiment is stamped in black and heat embossed using a clear EP on vellum. I finished of with a few black jewels.
