Using Scraps to Create Awesome Backgrounds!

-
Hello There 😊
I hope you are having a great day and thank you for stopping by.😉
So this is the card for today.

I think is card is so fun,don't you?
So for the background I used some old scraps of paper I had, and cut them in varying thickness. Varying the thickness adds some extra interest. I just stuck all my strips on a piece of white cardstock diagonally,keeping a order for the colors in mind,if you want you could do a completely random pattern.
I did the same for the circle on which my stamped image is matted.
I didn't want the colors of the card to be too overwhelming so I added a piece of vellum onto the background piece.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock using silver embossing powder and Versamark ink.
Using a silver gel pen I added dots and stitched lines around the card and the piece of vellum.
And that's it for today's card.
I hope you liked the card as much as I did.

Coloring on Colored Cardstock

-

Hello There  I hope you are having a great day🤗 Today's cards feature coloring on colored cardstock. For my examples I used kraft cardstock. My first tip for coloring on colored cardstock is to make sure to use a white pencil to add highlights to make your colors pop.  My second tip would be to add layers of colors, this makes the colors more vibrant. My third tip is to add extra details, I added sparkle using a silver gel pen. My third and final tip would be ,if you want your colors to really be bright and not discolored by the non white cardstock ,first color the area with a layer of white. If you are really interested in coloring with pencils ,please don't be daunted by all the super expensive coloring supplies. You can do amazing work with what you have🤗 The color pencils I used are only $3 for a set of 36. Taking part in  The Flower Challenge Hope you have day filled with grace. Cheers Anisha😊

Circle Card featuring Create A Smile Stamps

Hello There!  I hope you are having a wonderful day! Today's cards features some adorable Create A Smile Stamps! There is a fun challenge going on, and I encourage you to check it out!  For this card, I wanted to include some really fun elements. I chose to do no-line coloring with color pencils for this card. The coloring took me several hours to complete mainly because I had to add several layers of color to the cup and the spilled juice. When I was making this card, I imagined a baby seagull standing at the beach, sipping some refreshing juice on a hot day. For the focal image, I cropped the bird from the Create A Smile digital stamp(Coffee Cup and Bird) and moved it to the left side, so that as I was coloring I could draw a little straw and then it would be a sweet scene of the bird drinking the juice at the beach. I converted the coffee cup into a juice glass and also drew and colored a little spill below the the bottle. Next I drew and colored the stool....

Using Flowers as Your Focal Image

Hello There 😊 I hope you are having a great day. Today's card features the Magnolia Stamp from Mudra Craft. Here are some close up images of the floral image. I used watercolors to paint my image. My color theme was the colors of the Indian Flag. Although it isn't very clearly visible, I stamped the corners of the blue background piece using the same stamp,but with white ink. I also added a splatter of white and silver paint,to add some extra sparkle. I didn't want the receiver of the card to be distracted by a very loud background ,which is why I kept it simple and ,almost tone on tone.  That's it for today's card. Submitting this card to the  Mudra Craft Challenge  and  The Flower Challenge .
