Beat the Monday Blues...

Hello friends... & a very happy Monday...
Hope you had a fun filled weekend
Today I am sharing a step-by-step tutorial for my card with blue lilies to beat the Monday Blues...
Lets start with stamping the lily images from the Flower Of The Month: Easter Lily (one of my favorite stamp sets) on watercoloring cardstock with any waterproof ink... I have used Ranger Black Archival ink.  
Next I have painted it with my Distress inks & waterbrush. 
 Moving on I drew 2 diagonal lines with my black marker to block the area for my sentiment.
 Next I added black & blue ink splatters after  masking my flowers & sentiment area & added a black border.
(Quick Tip: when in a rush (or just feeling lazy ) place the stamp on the stamped image to use as a mask instead of stamping & fussy cutting the mask. ) 
 Next I took my sentiment from Summer Fun stamp set & stamped it with my black ink.
Here is my completed card.


Hope you like it...
Thank you for visiting :)

Now let's start with the new collection:

Sunrise Lily Collection

Rich and regal in appearance, along with a divine fragrant beauty and ornamental trumpet shaped blossom makes the lily flower a well known garden variety and a sure sign that spring has sprung.  Heartfelt Creations invites you to prepare to welcome the season of new beginnings, fresh starts and the bursting forth of nature with the new Sunrise Lily Collection. As the title of this assemblage suggests, it is filled with the romantic hues of a beautiful sunrise or sunset...glorious shades of pinks, oranges, and yellows  which also reflect the stunning color palette of the lily blossoms as they appear in the gardens themselves. Ravishing shades of greens, creams and whites bring a crispness and a breath of fresh air just as the spring season itself. Patterned papers reveal regal ornamental iron like scroll work, dainty lace elements and lovely vintage like floral details.  Beautiful imagery of lily filled vases, pretty flower adorned garden hats and luscious floral bouquets grace varying sized card panels, scrapbook layouts and embellishment tags, and are replicated in five sets of delicately detailed stamp illustrations.  The crowning glory to the collection itself is the dimensional lily flower that will add a touch of reality to each of your springtime creations.  So, chase away those winter blues brought on by old man winter, combat spring fever by filling your creative space with a touch of splendor as you begin creating with the Sunrise Lily Collection for the upcoming spring and Easter season. 

This is a beautiful collection & the flowers & images are just gorgeous...
I love coloring & I had a lot of fum coloring in the images & making this card...





I hope you like it & vote for me :)
Thanks a lot...

Ombre Stamping Tutorial

Hello Friends...
Today I am sharing a tutorial on Ombre Stamping.

I started with stamping the sentiment from Friends stamp set using the lightest ink.

  Next I took my mid tone ink to ink the stamp halfway & dabbed the edge with a cloth (to remove the harsh line of the darker color & make the transition on light to dark color smooth ) & stamped on top of the sentiment again.


 Now I took my darkest ink & inked only 1/3rd of the stamp & dabbed the edge with a cloth & stamped on top of the sentiment.


 Next I stamped & colored in my flower image from  Friends Forever stamp set.  I stamped the script stamp from Background Basics III stamp set on the right side with a light blue ink. I added a black border to the top & bottom edges with a marker.

 I adhered this panel with foam adhesive on my card front & added some rhinestones to add the finishing touch.


Hope you will give this technique a try...
