Watercolour Card - I

Hello crafters,

One my dear friends left our office yesterday...so I made a Farewell card for her...
This was a very quick card....
I used some new supplies...the yummy gelatos....and my new favourite stencil by Julie Balzer...

A mixture of techniques

Hello everyone,

It been quite some time since I posted something here...
Actually I have been busy trying my hands on Art Journaling and Scrapbooking...
I also started a new blog for documenting the same...
I would love if you would check out my new blog...My Journaling Journey...
Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Well finally I made a card today...and quite a different one...
I have been playing around with some of my new purchases...embossing powder, gelatos, stencils....

There are oh so many techniques I used on this card...
Lets start with the panel with butterfly...I heat embossed a butterfly stamp (look at how shine and cool it looks...love it) on a piece of kraft cardstock...
Then I coloured the cardstock with pink and purple gelatos....
Next I kept my new Balzer Design Rug Stencil (so glad I finally have it :D) on it...and picked up the colours with a baby wipe...
I also tore and curled the cardstock at a few places...

Birds Spinner card

Hello everyone,

I always like adding twists to my cards...
So yesterday I made a mutiple spinner card....

I was inspired by this awesome sketch from Stamplorations...

As soon as I saw the sketch I knew what I had to do...

I used a stamp and stencil set...for the background and the birds

Stencils and Stamps only

Hello,

I find it very difficult to create a background using mutiple stencils and stamps...
But anyway I gave it one more try...
And let me tell you...I am quite please with the outcome...

I created an art journal page

For the background...I rubbed Distress Ink pads (Vintage Photo and Olive Green) directly on the stencils...spritzed it with water and put the stencil ink side down on the page...I have used a flower stencil and an alphabet stencil for the background...
Then I used some Bo-Bunny pattern stamps with Wild Honey DI...

Next I used a honeycomb stamp on a piece of paper and cut out a heart....I used Vintage Photo on the edges of the heart...

"Do what you" was also written using the alphabet stencil...
I coloured a flag with Archival blank ink and wrote "Love" with wihte gel pen...

In the end I stamped a butterfly and some floral design on 2 corners of the page with archival black ink...

I am entering this in the Stamplorations Stamps and Stencils Challenge

Art Journal flip-through

Hello everyone,

Some time ago, I came across a blog called Balzer Designs...
And now I am hooked to it...
I look through her blog regularly...there are so many tutorials and How-Tos...so much to learn...
And her posts are awesome...
I just love her style...

I have been trying a few new things...in my Blog Planner/Art Journal...

So here goes a flip-through of my journal...Julie Fei-Fan style...

I made this front-cover a while ago...I also shared a step-by-step for this here

I have been trying to get better at lettering...here's an attempt...A beautiful quote always helps :D

(I am entering this layout in the ARTastic challenge) 

I love love love doodling...and this quote is just so awesome...so when you combine the 2..........

Although I am still not sure if I want to colour it or not....hmmmm.....

Now this is something I am not very good at...creating background with multiple stencils and stamps...But I think this turned out pretty good...

And now....the back side of the cover...I did some photo transfer...yayyy...I really liked how this turned out...
