Dot Coloring card

Hello friends

Sharing our inspiration post for the very first Varada Sharma Challenge!! Check it here.

We decided to do try something new, so we have tried Slimline card+ Dot coloring for this card. For this Slimline card, we have used Wings and Petals- 2. In case you are like us, who juggles with floral arrangement, fret not, as Varada Sharma has already worked it for you. Your just need to grab your coloring medium and get coloring!! Yay! Sentiment is from Heartfelt sentiments.

We are novice when it comes to coloring, and wanted to try out Dot coloring as soon as we saw Jennifer McGuire's Tutorial. So, we tried our hands at this technique within a week of watching her tutorial.

When we started coloring, we were unsure whether we liked the outcome and decided to wait before proceeding with the entire image. Well, that wait just became infinitely long until one day, we decided to finish it whatsoever. We were still apprehensive. But gradually enjoyed the outcome.
So, here we are, with our dot coloring finally seeing the daylight 😅

Floral layout

Hello friends

It's been long since we made a layout, recently we have been making a lot of cards. To try something different, we made a layout. 

We started with masking and stencilling using yellow ink. We then gold embossed flowers and leaved from Sweet rose stamp set, water-colored and fussy cut. We then did repeated stamping on the edges, using black ink. We then matted the photo on black paper. And arranged flowers to our liking and adhered it. We cut few circle die cuts from pink and yellow cardstock and stamped sentiment on it. 

We felt the background was a bit plain, so we did some stencilling on the right part of the base. We stuck the circle die cuts and finished off by stamping camera and few other words from Photo Booth stamp set.
Ta-da, our layout is ready!

Supplies used:
Mudra Sweet-rose Stamp set 
Mudra Lattice-fusion Stencil
Neat and Tangled Photo Booth stamp set
Itsy bitsy circle dies
Tubby crafts Yellow ink pad

Wonderful winter

Hello friends

Do you love Sketch challenges?? We love them, especially when you can interpret them the way you want and choose any theme to work with!! So the other day, we saw this sketch on @createasmile blog, we found it interesting.

We wanted to do something different, so thought of using the word JOY, and replacing it with some cute critter. While looking into our stash, we found this cute penguin stamp by @createasmile, and found it to perfectly fit the bill. As we decided that we were going to made a Christmas card, so used this @createasmile Knit Stencil. Kraft paper goes well for Christmas cards, so used Hero Arts  White Pigment ink to stencil it.

As we didn't have any stripes pattern paper in red and white colors, we used quilling strips and made our own. We also wrote the alphabet- J and Y on green glitter sheet, hand cut them and stuck them. As we felt something to be missing, we thought of using a small star stamp and adhering it near penguin's hand. It now seemed perfect. Finished it off with sentiment stamp.
We are happy with the way it has come out 😄!

Supplies used-
@createasmile Stamp & Stencil from Wonderful Winter kit
@dadarkararts Green Glitter sheet
@craftyscrappers Sentiment stamp

Rainbows leaves card

Hello friends

For someone like me (Subhashini) who doesn't need a reason to play with rainbow 🌈, giving a reason is like icing on the cake😁. So when we saw the challenge theme at Pink fresh studio this month as Rainbow, we knew we had to make one. We felt it to be a win-win situation as we could play with our favorite theme and also put to use our new Dies- Hello with botanicals.
It couldn't get better, right!!

Coming to today's card, we thought it white base, but we felt something missing. So we thought, why not use black instead, it went really well!!
Happy us😄

While going through our projects using @lawnfawn Fairy Friends, we noticed that we didn't do scene building. So we thought of making one using Autumn colors.

Don't they look happy and cheerful!
