Creating an Underwater Adventure Card

-

Hello There!

I hope you are having a lovely day! I’m so excited to be guest designing for Varada Sharma Designs today! The August release just blew my mind, there are so many wonderful designs to create the perfect underwater scenes! Here’s my card for today.

 



 These are the sets I used 

·        Under the Sea

·        You are Precious

·        Seas the day

I started working on my card by printing my card base. To do this I arranged images from different sets to create the reef portion of the background piece and on a separate piece of cardstock I printed all the sea critters . I then colored all the images with color pencils. Then I fussy cut all the critters. For my background I used a stencil to create the effect of the rays and used three different shades of blue Archival ink and a blender brush to put together my background piece. I adhered the elements using foam adhesive and finished of the card with white acrylic paint splatters. 

I hope you liked the card! Thank you for stopping by! You can find more of my cards on Instagram @anishascraftstudio

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs🤗

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 . Supplies Used:  Mudra Magnolia Stamp Set https://mudrastamps.in/product/magnolia-craft-stamps/ Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!

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😊
