Sweet Treats For You OCC Clear & Sheer

Here's My 2nd Card for the Day !! I will be linking this to the Onilne Card Class ' Clear & Sheer' Gallery - Day 2. 

A whole lotta layers have been used to make this card ! The Card Base is a Neenah Solar White, on which a Silver Craft Paper has been attached leaving 1/4" margin on top & bottom. Next I have attached a Cupcake Design Pattern Paper to which I have adhered Vellum ( I die cut a scallop border at the edge of the vellum for some interest, using my Stitched Scallop Die - Lawnfawn)

Next I stamped & Fussy Cut a few Cupcakes & stand using my WPLUS9 Stamp Set - 'Sweets & Treats". I used my Altenew Crisp Inks for these. I doodled some sprinkles on the cupcakes & stuck a cherry sticker to one of them !

I die cut a 'Stitched rectangle frame' from a SSS die & stuck the cupcakes. Next I used my Foam Dots to stick the frame on the left. The Thin strip is heat embossed using SSS-Wide stripes stamp and Ranger : liquid platinum Embossing Powder & then I distressed the blank stripes using my Distress Inks. For the Sentiment, I used Altenew Stamp Set - 'Label Love' & Hero Arts Shadow Ink - Wet Cement' & Altenew Crisp Ink : Frosty Pink & Pop Dotted the same !

Lastly, I added a bow, Sequins & Rhinestones to finish the card !! 

                                 

                    I had so much fun creating this card !!!                                                          Hope you like it too !!

                                 Thanks for stopping by,

5 Cards 1 Stamp Set - Altenew Garden Grow

Good Afternoon Friends..

I'm here today with a whole bunch of cards made using 1 Stamp Set !!
A Very Sweet, Friend & a very Talented Crafter - Priya Sondhi challenged us to make 5 different cards using the same stamp set !! You can find her Awesome blog here !
Okay for this challenge I chose a Set from my Current Fav. Brand - ALTENEW !!
I picked the "Garden Grow" set !!

Isn't this such a pretty set with so many cute images !! Totally Loved working with these!

DISCLAIMER : It's gonna be a Picture Heavy Post !! 

This is what all my cards along with the Stamp Set look like together !!

Here's My 1st Card: 

 It's a CAS card where the stamping is continued at the back as well.

I quite liked this... 

I used my Ranger Archival- Jet Black Ink & Misti for this card !

Front View

Back View

Front & Back view..

Here's My Second Card !!

Used my Archival - Jet Black Ink to randomly stamp the collage on a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper. Using my Spellbinders Circle Die, I cut a window on the watercolor paper. Placing this piece on my Card base I traced the window & stamped the Flower pot on the Card Front. I used my Zig Brush Markers & Faber Castelle Watercolor Pencils to color. Next I adhered the Window Piece on my Card front using Foam Dots to create some dimension !! Simple, Qick & Easy Peasy !

Here comes Card #3 !!

This again is a Very Simple & Easy-to-make card ! I was done in less than 10 mins. Yay !!

I used my Sponge Daubers, Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron & Worn Lipstick) & Circle Stencils for the Dots !! After which I stamped these cute lil images using my Ranger Archival - Jet Black Ink. & I was done ! 

Take a Look at Card # 4 !

I was so done with making CAS cards that I decided to make a few elaborate ones & this set called for some Watercoloring ! I created this scene, did some masking & watercolored the images using my Karutake Gansai Tambi colors ! I love them... I used the Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper & Ranger Archival- Jet Black Ink for stamping !!

After painting the images, I went over the inked edges using my Fine Tip Black Sharpie for the detailed look. 

My 5th &  Final Card for this series :

Since we were to Bring out our stash & put it to use, I thought of pulling out my Pattern Papers which have been untouched since a long time now !! I picked the 'Zaphyr" 6x6 paper pad by Prima Marketing for the front panel. It went perfectly with the Window & Flower Box Die-cuts from Memory Box.

I stamped the plants on a watercolored cardstock using my Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink & painted it using my Gansai Tambi Colors. Outlined the image using my Fine Tip Sharpie to give it the crisp look & mounted the Window die over my painted piece using double layers of Dimensional Tape !

I adhered the Pattern Paper on a White Cardstock by Neenah Solar White !

Well this is it for now Friends. I hope you all liked what I had to share !

Do bring out your stamp Sets & Play as much as you can !! I'm sure you'll come up with many many many ideas.. Don't Forget to share & also tag your projects to #psstretchyourstash !! 

I'm Linking Mine right away !! Are you ???

Thanks so much friends for taking the time to go through this Heavy Post !!

Have a Nice Day !!

Hugs,

Watercolor with Color Burst by Ken Oliver

Hello Crafty People,

I am here with a card today using my Ken Oliver Color Burst for the first time, which I have been hoarding since a long time now !! I so wish I had played with them earlier ! Never the less, I was so excited to see the Burst of color as soon as it came in contact with water ! Was Magical !

Here's what I did.. I tapped some color burst on a piece of cardstock & sprayed some water using my Ranger Mini Mister and I loved the results !!

The Vibrant look of color splashes all over was so amazing. After it was completely dry, I stamped some of these pretty Flowers from the ALTENEW stamp set - Wild Hibiscus using my Archival - Jet Black Ink and then fussy cut it  !!

Later I used these pretty flowers & a pair of birds on this card below! I just love how this turned out !

Supplies Used :

Altenew Stamp Set - Wild Hibiscus,
