Paint Stripe Background Cards

-
I love using different background shapes for my cards and I have two cards to share with you featuring stamps from Hello Bluebird Stamps and My Favorite Things.

For my first card I used the frame piece from the following project on Cricut Design Space!
I used a rectangular card base and with a blending brush I blended the following Distress Oxide colors for my ink blended background.
Salty Ocean
Broken China
Tattered Rose 
Worn Lipstick 
I then stamped my images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored them with alcohol markers.
I used the following stamp sets from Hello Bluebird Stamps
Feed the Birds 
Tree Neighbors 
Finally I adhered all the images on my cardbase and then adhered the frame piece.

For my second card I used the Happy Campers stamp from My Favorite Things.


I stamped my images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored them with alcohol markers.
For the background piece I cut the image using my Cricut Maker from Cricut Kraft Board. The Kraft Board has a really good weight to it and I use it for almost all my card bases.
I then used the following colors o distress oxides starting from the centre moving outwards in a circular motion.
Wild Honey 
Spiced Marmalade 
Carved Pumpkin 
Broken China
Salty Ocean
Blueprint Sketch
I didn't want the background to be too vibrant so I cut the background piece from vellum as well to mute the colors a bit more.
I then adhered all the images to the vellum and used foam tape to adhere it to my card base.

Have a lovely day!

Cheers

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 . Supplies Used:  Mudra Magnolia Stamp Set https://mudrastamps.in/product/magnolia-craft-stamps/ Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day! Cheers  Anisha 😊 Find me on  Instagram  :  ...
