Circus scene Card

Hello friends, 

Making a circus scene with Sugarpea Elephant Parade stamp set was in our to-do list for a long time. We finally managed to tick it off. We were inspired by the current sketch challenge at Sugarpea Designs. We did masking and ink blending for the background.

We left the card without a sentiment. So that we can customise according to the recipient.

Thanks Floral Card

 Hello friends

Sharing a floral card. 

Time and tide waits for no one⏰⏳

Today's card is the slowest card we have ever made, can you guess how long it took us to make this one!! 

We had started coloring the image way back in Feb end, and left it halfway to complete later. While going through our stash recently, we realized that time had flown by, and it is already Nov end now 🤭 To prevent any further delay, we finished coloring it and embossed the sentiment stamp on vellum, ink blended and wrapped it around. Adhered it on a card base and tada, we finished it😀

Thankful for the Memories

 Looking at a photograph 🖼️📷 and wishing you could re-live that moment over and over again....

Tell us we are not the only ones doing this😄😉...

Time flies so soon that we are left with those memories, thankfully we have photos to look back and feel nostalgia. Have you ever been hit hard by a memory so much that you had goosebumps... Well, we all have been there, haven't we!!?

Using @wafflflower Hello stamp set to make this card, added some pattern paper from our stash. I felt this sentiment from @angiebloom to be the perfect match for this!

Mini Art journal series-4

 Hello friends

It's been long since we shared an art journal page. 

If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try. We were inspired by this quote on Pinterest. Though we admire when others do stencil monoprint technique, we were scared to try it ourselves. As we felt it may not come out well. But, we thought finally, that it was time to get rid of fear and inhibitions that stop you from trying new things. 

So we try our hands at stencil monoprint technique, we loved the outcome. But we kept the background lying for some time. Finally, the background was out to good use.

We decided to use the Stencil monoprint background for art journaling. We did some ink blending using similar colors. We did ink smooshing for the monsters. The quote was written on black paper using white gel pen.

Ta da! Our art journal is ready! We love the outcome. 

Supplies used:

Mudra Crazy monsters stamp set

Mudra Lattice Fusion stencil

Mudra Mai Fuschia Pink

Interested to see the project where we did the stencil to get the monoprint for this art journal! Check it out here.
