Window Frame Card

-
The Tweet Friends set is one of my favorite sets from MFT stamps, so I wanted to use it as my focal image for the Clean and Simple challenge!! 



I started by cutting the rectangle frame piece using a craft knife and a ruler. 
I love playing with the dimension that foam tape gives and I used it to emphasize the bird at the centre by creating a little window. I used a mix of one and two layers of foam tape to create a varying dimensional look. I stamped and colored my images using alcohol markers and fussy cut all of them. I used color pencils to add extra shading and depth to the bird image.

I used some scraps of colored cardstock as well as white cardstock colored with coordinating alcohol markers(to match the colors I used in the centre focal image) to make the rainbow frame🌈 
I didn't want want the rainbow border to distract from the centre image so I added a layer of vellum to mute the colors a bit! I also added white paint splatters, stitched lines and stars with a white gel pen. I hope you liked the card!
Have a blessed day!🤗

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😊
