Heartfelt Thanks

Hello friends and welcome to  Heartfelt wednesday...

Sorry for being MIA.. again!

I was busy with my baby sister's wedding and returned to my hometown recently...

But I will try to be regular in posting from now on... provided my little one cooperates... She is too active now exploring her surroundings and when she sees a button she has to press it and guess which button was within her reach???? My CPU's and mouse and keyboard! So it's nearly impossible for me to work while she is awake! Either she switches off my PC without warning or presses any key while I am happily typing away...Sooooo I have to re-do everything! 

Now my CPU sits on top of my table out of her reach still she manages to distract me but atleast now she can't reach the wires, plugs and sockets.

Now enough of my chit-chat... lets move on to my card for today.

Keep reading for the list of supplies and full instructions for this card.

Cluster background stamping

Hello Friends and welcome to Heartfelt Wednesday.

Today I have a clean and simple card to share with you all.
I have used the cluster stamping technique to create the background for this card.
This is a great technique to get more use out of your sentiment stamps and it also creates an interesting background without drawing the attention from the focal image.

Cards with Craft Treat Stencils

Hello everyone... 
First of all I would like to thank Priya for giving me the opportunity to be a guest designer today for Craft Treat Blog...
I had a lot of fun playing with Craft Treat stencils...I have made a few cards using these stencils

Lets start with the Ganesha card...

I used the Mandala 2 stencil and inked a piece of white cardstock using Fossiled Amber, Picked raspberry and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks. I used the left over ink on the dauber to apply a light layer of ink on the whole background after removing the stencil. Then I placed the Musical Ganesha 1 stencil on the inked background and applied black texture paste using a pallet knife. Once the texture paste was dry I trimmed the cardstock and matted it over a slightly bigger piece of black cardstock with a die cut edge on the bottom. I took a 5" x 7" white card base and adhered a smaller piece of black cardstock on top. Then I layered a dry embossed piece of white cardstock on the black cardstock. I used foam adhesive to adhere the Ganesha panel on this to give it dimension.


For my second card I used the Tribal Potters stencil along with a black gel pen.

I placed the stencil on a piece of white cardstock and used a gel pen to trace along the openings. I shifted the stencil a little to trace all the 3 tribal ladies. Then I used the same gel pen to draw lines and patterns to fill in the traced areas. I filled their dresses and pots with different designs and filled in the face, hands and legs with solid black. Then I layered it on black cardstock to create black border on both sides. For the red border I used Dream Catcher stencil and inked it with candied apple and aged mahogany distress ink to get the ombre effect. I used black and red nuvo drops to add add finishing touch to the card.

For my third card I have used Dream Catcher stencil to create a shaker card.

I created the background using Folk Art Background along with peeled paint and forest moss distress ink. Then I watercolored the dream catcher on a piece of watercolor cardstock and used a circle die to cut out the center. Next I flipped over this piece and adhered a piece of acetate and used foam adhesive to line along the die cut shaker window. Next I inked the center on another piece of cardstock, stamped the sentiment in it's center, put some colorful sequins, gems and microbeads on top and closed the previously created shaker window. Then I adhered thin strips of black cardstock on both sides and glued it to the card base. I adhered few gemstones on the featheres to add finishing touch.


I have used Folk Musicians and Mandala Stencil for my fourth and last card.

I used the Mandala Stencil along with shades of blue ink to create the design in the corner. Then I used black ink along with Folk Musicians stencil to ink up the musician on the right side of the card. Next I used a gold pen to create designs and to highlight certain parts of the musician and mandala design. Then I added few gemstones to add finishing touches.



Hope you like these cards...
