I've been seeing such gorgeous slimline card creations all over the internet. Since it's a different size as compared to the regular A2 card, the supplies available are also different. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">However, I didn't want to purchase specific supplies for this card so I tried working with my existing supplies. When I saw the current <a href="https://blog.altenew.com/time-for-a-beautiful-flower-to-inspire-in-this-challenge-video/">Altenew</a> card challenge, I knew that I wanted to create a card with a dark and striking background.</span> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5g-Vqh9XoLo9NN4MKwW_zynZodhQqMSVT37PhIVl2vI8Inwy2PW6q1QItfUi_nicvEL97501x4wT374-1ExINVR-HKY0FYDQOd-qyEk4Y8Ob_2AZJRz809uzH4NuGNXOlQhlM7gfilb9/s2048/PicsArt_02-26-09.36.02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5g-Vqh9XoLo9NN4MKwW_zynZodhQqMSVT37PhIVl2vI8Inwy2PW6q1QItfUi_nicvEL97501x4wT374-1ExINVR-HKY0FYDQOd-qyEk4Y8Ob_2AZJRz809uzH4NuGNXOlQhlM7gfilb9/w640-h640/PicsArt_02-26-09.36.02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Cardbase is the Cairo Creme pre-cut slimline cardstock by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/letzcraft/?hl=en">LetzCraft</a>. For the background, I used a pink cardstock that I found at a local craft store. I clear heat embossed the Geometric Grid background stamp by MyFavoriteThings. Then I ink blended a picked raspberry, seedless preserves and dusty concord distress inks to get a nice shaded look.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASqtU7M1ReM1ycGce036Tf4fKwdUtTeprutlcdSstXNZNtzPQlSe8Qo3UGgZT9VzU6gkJj4XBEfF9GWYfBHo8At-awBA8ArTubtKHSJiVQ42RF-OBCajH3k9IOgasvpgAuEFzG65pHDPK/s2048/PicsArt_02-26-09.45.07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASqtU7M1ReM1ycGce036Tf4fKwdUtTeprutlcdSstXNZNtzPQlSe8Qo3UGgZT9VzU6gkJj4XBEfF9GWYfBHo8At-awBA8ArTubtKHSJiVQ42RF-OBCajH3k9IOgasvpgAuEFzG65pHDPK/w640-h640/PicsArt_02-26-09.45.07.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The flowers and leaves are from the Peony Scrolls set by Altenew and are gold heat embossed and colored with squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, spiced marmalade, mowed lawn and peeled paint distress inks. I did a bit of shading using a local sketch pen brand. The sentiment from Altenew's Adore You set is also heat embossed in gold. After arranging the flowers and sentiment, I finished the card off with a few gold sequins from my local store. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I'm really happy with the royal look of the card.

I really love how classy and elegant these cross stitched cards look.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For the design, I decided to follow the <a href="https://mftstamps.com/blogs/resources/mft-printable-resources-cross-stitch-rectangle-printables">MFT Printable Resources</a> and used the background heart design. Even though Valentine's Day has just gone by, I think this card would be perfect to let anyone know how much they mean to you.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I used two colors - red and cream for the pattern as I wanted a soft look. The sentiment is from the My Favorite Things Essential sentiments stamp set. I added a few silver stones over the hearts so that they could pop up.

I took a break for sometime as I felt a bit overwhelmed with all that was happening. I did make a few crafty purchases during this time and I got quite a few new supplies that I'm so excited to try!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Today's card features the My Favorite Things Cross Stitch Rectangle Background die. During my school days, I used to have needle work as a subject. While I loved how different it was in comparison to my other subjects, I wasn't a fan of it as all that we used to do was learn basic stitches and create simple designs on home decor pieces.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After that, I almost stopped anything related to embroidery/stitching until during lockdown last year, I came across a bunch of posts with stitching on cards, bookmarks, tags, etc and I instantly knew that I had to give it a shot.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhriu6FPxv8E3pIqYD98RgHQXXgzxhr5pvn3gty-mqAinoLwBVrsLnBHi6PgokqGH7ZsOfba34jIhJcc8LLNmj8JmGZ79jzRY-_HpgMGa9uCZ09DQAbpsxYT4hLzrvafF1JvrzsOE9UusJW/s1761/PicsArt_02-17-09.37.30.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1761" data-original-width="1761" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhriu6FPxv8E3pIqYD98RgHQXXgzxhr5pvn3gty-mqAinoLwBVrsLnBHi6PgokqGH7ZsOfba34jIhJcc8LLNmj8JmGZ79jzRY-_HpgMGa9uCZ09DQAbpsxYT4hLzrvafF1JvrzsOE9UusJW/s16000/PicsArt_02-17-09.37.30.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;">I tried to play around with the background a couple of times until I finalized this one. I love how the combination of blue + yellow stands out on a dark background. For the background, I decided to do a mixture of two shades of blue in a chevron pattern inspired by <a href="https://youtu.be/__A9jqJ2eSk" target="_blank">Jennifer McGuire's</a> video. For the flowers, I used the Altenew Adore you stamp set and stamped the two smallest flowers and leaves onto some watercolor paper and colored them with my Distress inks. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Wplus9 Beautiful Bouquet Ranunculus onto some black cardstock. Lastly, I added all the elements to the panel and foam mounted it to a white card base by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/letzcraft/?hl=en">LetzCraft</a>. (I really love their wide selection of good colors and quality papers that comes at a great price and in great sizes too)</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm entering this card into the following challenges:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">1) <a href="http://addictedtostamps-challenge.blogspot.com/2021/02/challenge-399-any-occasion.html">ATSM Challenge #399 - Any Occasion</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">2) <a href="https://www.welovechocolatebaroque.uk/2021/02/february-flower-butterflies-or-birds.html">We love Chocolate Baroque - Flowers, Butterflies and Birds</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">3) <a href="http://ttcrd.blogspot.com/2021/02/anything-goes-challenge-february-16th.html">Through the craft room door - Anything Goes</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">4) <a href="http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2021/02/cardz-tv-anything-goes-challenge-134.html">CARDZ TV ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE #134</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">5) <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=22781">Simon Says: Add Some Texture</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">6) <a href="http://theflowerchallenge.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-flower-challenge-53-use-your-latest.html">The Flower Challenge #53 Use your latest Stamps or Dies</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks for stopping by!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Love,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sidelle.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Glk7SEiPbDfUjiBdAVrmBCHaYAYGRoufKNJpNIWtrR7IeIKVTY-BmBNpun-uGCIUAIUYWGKtOsz0YtbDuUikJ0y3wccg616pIkvKrBG3Bvyl4VY8UWDvZVgMzIhdrFEWOIPpw0k6IVI/s400/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="141" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Glk7SEiPbDfUjiBdAVrmBCHaYAYGRoufKNJpNIWtrR7IeIKVTY-BmBNpun-uGCIUAIUYWGKtOsz0YtbDuUikJ0y3wccg616pIkvKrBG3Bvyl4VY8UWDvZVgMzIhdrFEWOIPpw0k6IVI/s320/image.png" width="320" /></a> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKX0oXLp0fLdagQwNagoOfVH1JP7WEK3AfsWoAkPKQZlg-k14xfA_QUf70iQJcMbwduQEE2rYzhUk2oR7ZjsIxB4LVVbuFJzOBfIKaKIr3-lhJgerc2IWeP-9Qy-KzxmVS1HA9XNyp3tVH/s320/TFChallenge%252353.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKX0oXLp0fLdagQwNagoOfVH1JP7WEK3AfsWoAkPKQZlg-k14xfA_QUf70iQJcMbwduQEE2rYzhUk2oR7ZjsIxB4LVVbuFJzOBfIKaKIr3-lhJgerc2IWeP-9Qy-KzxmVS1HA9XNyp3tVH/s0/TFChallenge%252353.jpg" /></a> </div></div>Sidelle Menonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03706955201960459752noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932919325076657251.post-16876506082417272522020-10-11T00:53:00.001-07:002020-10-11T00:53:19.186-07:00Autumn Florals | Altenew Inked Flora<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hey there!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've seen a lot of white embossed flowers all over the internet for a while and was always intrigued by it.

I finally got my hands on the distress ink sponges and decided to make this card.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh37bPYx5HEKt2QQirJ7sWc_5iwHy0UB_2WZ28isKaBdTi563aGrjUiSsMTipGXu7u2EicnuKgS-zIXjnTEH23tI-G7afi_SG_g67bjpJTaugoMkQAh8mKwqJ8l8sX1FQydIzWNC6lcDmdh/s1983/PicsArt_09-22-10.47.42.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1983" data-original-width="1983" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh37bPYx5HEKt2QQirJ7sWc_5iwHy0UB_2WZ28isKaBdTi563aGrjUiSsMTipGXu7u2EicnuKgS-zIXjnTEH23tI-G7afi_SG_g67bjpJTaugoMkQAh8mKwqJ8l8sX1FQydIzWNC6lcDmdh/s320/PicsArt_09-22-10.47.42.jpg" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I blended out the picked raspberry, salty ocean, and mowed lawn distress inks onto some scrap white paper. Next, I heat embossed a bunch of flowers and leaves from the Altenew Adore You stamp set over the blended backgrounds.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I sprayed some water to get a nice effect and fussy cut all the elements. I had this lovely die-cut that I got from ShylaShree through a giveaway and put that in the center of my card.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">It took me some time to arrange the flowers to get the final look and once I was pleased with it, I stuck it to the card base using some foam tape. Added the sentiment from the Essential Sentiments stamp set by My Favorite Things and finished off the card once again with a few sequins.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm entering this card for the following challenges:</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1) <a href="https://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/ikesworld-challenges-136-u-is-for-under.html">IKEsWORLD CHALLENGES #136- U is for UNDER THE WEATHER/AG</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">2) <a href="http://ttcrd.blogspot.com/2020/09/anything-goes-challenge-september-22nd.html">Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes Challenge September 22nd 2020</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">3) <a href="http://cardsgalorechallenges.blogspot.com/2020/09/september-crafts-galore-encore.html">September Crafts Galore Encore Challenge #79</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">4) <a href="http://crafterscastle.blogspot.com/2020/09/september-challenge-33-august-winner.html">Crafters Castle - September Challenge #33</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">5) <a href="http://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-163-ag-best-of-friends.html">Let's Craft and Create Challenge #163 - AG + BEST OF FRIENDS</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">6) <a href="http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.com/2020/10/challenge-10-2020-anything-goes-winners.html">Corrosive Challenge #09</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">7) <a href="http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2020/09/cardz-tv-anything-goes-challenge-123.html">CARDZ TV ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE #123</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">8) <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2020/09/just-us-girls-554-color-week.html">Just us Girls #554 ~ Color Week</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">9) <a href="http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2020/09/pennys-challenge-480-dt-call.html">Penny's Challenge #480</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">10) <a href="https://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-175-anything-goes.html">Scrapping4Fun Challenge 175 - Anything Goes</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">11) <a href="https://lovetoscrapchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/ltscb-137-anything-goes.html">LTSCB #137 - Anything Goes</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOnV1dOKAdqYrCFeCnCflLl_pIIn64Qmn5yJyy3Rk6FvOnS2RmU5nUjbGtt0BaAiA0FaI8E1lUyCsg_qAGXbYePss_OIZUQR0s09YGvzwb-GV4QYiNc6_V78bzt5fDu1MijThY32LkM3fw/s400/Screen+Shot+2020-07-16+at+3.43.10+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="339" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOnV1dOKAdqYrCFeCnCflLl_pIIn64Qmn5yJyy3Rk6FvOnS2RmU5nUjbGtt0BaAiA0FaI8E1lUyCsg_qAGXbYePss_OIZUQR0s09YGvzwb-GV4QYiNc6_V78bzt5fDu1MijThY32LkM3fw/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-07-16+at+3.43.10+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Sidelle Menonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03706955201960459752noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932919325076657251.post-15424422874995585652020-09-20T00:36:00.006-07:002020-09-21T23:12:25.665-07:00You're a Blessing | Altenew Inked Flora<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hey There!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today's card features once again my favorite - Altenew's Inked Flora set.

The weather in my city has been changing drastically every day. We don't really experience fall but that didn't stop me from creating a fall-themed card. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've always loved the idea of Fall - Warm tones, Thanksgiving, Halloween, etc. Today's card features one of my recent purchases - Altenew's Adore You stamp set.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have been trying out various coloring techniques for the last few weeks but didn't like any of them. After a hundred tries, I really loved this one and decided to use it on my card.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvwFWoRtKVU84S-KZigbTA81ULeoB5361_DmZ22cltlxw1jXT2YaHo6DuO1tPBi26bvqBVg9Olr1tUrcbqVtvGqj0PZD8tWFHT95xXcjIGBX_89Po35FN43kvctEKtt5oOgE5gl8MsyRz8/s1440/IMG20200917163816.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvwFWoRtKVU84S-KZigbTA81ULeoB5361_DmZ22cltlxw1jXT2YaHo6DuO1tPBi26bvqBVg9Olr1tUrcbqVtvGqj0PZD8tWFHT95xXcjIGBX_89Po35FN43kvctEKtt5oOgE5gl8MsyRz8/w400-h400/IMG20200917163816.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I decided to include warm tones for the background. Stamped the flower multiple times onto some watercolor paper by Anupam Stores. Colored the flowers using my distress inks - festive berries, spiced marmalade, and scattered straw. Used Vintage Photo Distress Ink for the background and added some gold outliner over the top to get some shine.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">After gluing down the card, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Essential Sentiments set by My Favorite Things in white. Added a piece of vellum and few sequins to finish off the card. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm entering this card for the following challenges:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1) <a href="https://friendship-challenge.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-57-herbstliches.html">Friendship Challenge # 57 - Autumn</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>2) </span><a href="https://creativefingerschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-193.html">Creative Fingers Challenge #193.</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">3) <a href="http://craftysentiments.blogspot.com/2020/09/anything-goes-challenge_15.html">Crafty Sentiments - Anything goes challenge</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">4) <a href="http://ttcrd.blogspot.com/2020/09/anything-goes-challenge-week-beginning_15.html">Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">5) <a href="http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2020/09/cardz-tv-anything-goes-challenge-123.html">CARDZ TV ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE #123</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">6) <a href="http://craftygalscornerchallenges.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-211-fall-colours.html">Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #211 ~ Fall Colours!</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">7) <a href="https://artsystamperchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-23-anything-goes.html">ArtsyStamper Challenge #23 Anything Goes</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">8) <a href="http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2020/09/pennys-challenge-480-dt-call.html">Penny's Challenge #480</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">9) <a href="http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/2020/09/anything-goes-456-457.html">Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes #456-#457</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>10) </span><a href="https://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/2020/09/crafty-catz-challenge-519.html">Crafty Catz Challenge #519</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">11) <a href="http://carabbiemomentsofcraft.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-198.html">Creative Moments - Challenge 198</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">12) <a href="https://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-175-anything-goes.html">Scrapping4FunChallenge 175 - Anything Goes</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">13) <a href="http://unikostudio.blogspot.com/2020/09/uniko-challenge-61-anything-goes.html">Uniko Challenge #61 - Anything Goes + optional twist Thanks</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">14) <a href="https://www.welovechocolatebaroque.uk/2020/09/september-wings-with-anything-goes.html">We Love Chocolate Baroque - Chocolate Baroque</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">15) <a href="https://www.simplyellibelle.com/2020/10/ellibelles-crafty-wednesday-october.html">Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - October Challenge</a></span></p>Sidelle Menonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03706955201960459752noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932919325076657251.post-73647085717364900102020-07-01T08:38:00.002-07:002020-07-01T08:40:42.246-07:00Spread Love, No Room for Hate | Altenew Inked Flora | Z-Fold Card<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><font face="verdana">Hello everyone,</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><font face="verdana">I hope you all are doing well!

However, I have been equally scared of trying them out as it can tend to look a bit plain. When I saw the current challenge at <a href="https://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2020/06/color-throwdown-598.html?m=1">Color Throwdown</a> and <a href="http://giveacrafteracookie.blogspot.com/2020/06/cookie-challenge-144-and-top-cookie-for.html">If You Give A Crafter A Cookie</a>, I decided to give it a go!</font></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">The card features just three colors - pink, aqua, and gold. First, I stamped the flowers and leaves by <b>Altenew's Inked Flora set <i>(Favourite flower stamp set) </i></b>and heat embossed it in gold. I colored the embossed images in <b>Worn Lipstick and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks by Tim Holtz.</b></font></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">I took a lot of time to figure out the background for the card. I tried a lot of styles but settled on these gold diagonal stripes which I drew with my gold marker. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it in gold, cut it into a banner, and added a strip of gold glitter paper around the edges. </font></div><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">I tried a few placements and settled on this one. I finished off the card by gluing everything down and drawing a gold border around the edges to get everything together.

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Hey everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The 90's kids played with a lot of cool toys and yo-yo's were one of them. A yo-yo is a toy consisting of an axle connected to two disks, and a string looped around the axle, similar to a spool. It is played by holding the free end of the string known as the handle, allowing gravity to spin the yo-yo and unwind the string. When I saw the current challenge at the <a href="https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/05/142-spin-butterfly-wheel-with-y-for.html">butterfly challenge</a>, I was pumped up to make this card. The colors are inspired by mood board at Altenew. Stamps used are Peony Scrolls and the sentiment is by Wplus9. Stencil is </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Mini Punchinela by The Crafters Workshop. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Added a butterfly sequin the yo-yo end.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Recently, I won the April Technique Challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and was invited as a guest designer for their upcoming challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The challenge is:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since its an embossing challenge, I was a bit hesitant at the start as I do not own any Christmas stamps nor dies. While going through my stash of old Christmas cards, I found one card which gave me an idea for an instant Christmas card. Along with some Christmas patterned paper from an old pack, I glued down the image to create this fun grid look. I heat embossed the edges of the patterned paper to get a nice gold effect that would match the colors of the image. I love making such instant cards as they are so versatile and at the same time I get to recycle old cards!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For today, I decided to make a simple card with minimal colors - blue and white. The butterflies were hand drawn and painted with watercolor paints.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the last few days, I have been enjoying making mixed media projects and thus I decided to make a mixed media card today. <i>Purple along with </i></span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">shades of blue</i><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> has been one of my favourite colors to work </i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>with</i> and thus I decided to use them today as I was trying out something new</span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I have a few bottles of food coloring out of which I have not used the purple color for a while. For the background, I stacked and glued together scraps of patterned paper and clothing tags. Recycling such things give me pure joy! Once I finished gluing down the papers, I added a coat of gesso and used some modeling paste with one of my stencils. After that, I started adding drops of purple food coloring here and there and sprayed water. While doing this, the purple color started to bleed - it gave me shades of blue so I did not need to add any more blue colors. I worked a lot on the background and added a few drops of purple acrylic paint too so that the background could be purple. When the background was dry, I added splatters of black paint and white gesso. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the focal point, I wanted to use a butterfly and found this stamp by Stampendous to be the best fit. I colored the stamp with different shades of purple and blue. I added some bandage cloth and lace to give a definition to my element. Once I was happy with the placement, I added the butterfly, a sentiment from an old card and a few sequins to finish off the card. I really loved the outcome as it was achieved by playing around with the purple food coloring and I will be having many more posts including it in the coming weeks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hey!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Being a chocolate lover, I tend to hoard a lot of chocolate boxes. Today, I decided to alter one of them and change it into a gift box. I was inspired by the colors of the splashy mix mood board and decided to use my </span><span style="color: #42063d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Papericious - Pretty Basic patterned paper pack.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started off by gluing down strips of the patterned paper to the box. Once that was done, I distressed the edges with my vintage photo distress ink and archival black ink. Then I added a piece of thread around the box to create a web sort of design. For the flowers, I created a bunch of them in different sizes using the same patterned paper and added the beads from an old bracelet for the centers. I started arranging the flowers on the box. After a thousand arrangements, I finally liked this one and glued them down. Next, I added a few sequins to the small flowers, and a few drops of white perfect drops all around the arrangement. As always, I finished off the project with splashes of black paint and white gesso. Can't wait to gift this to somebody!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today I have made a spring themed card inspired by the beautiful colors of the mood board by Splashy Mix Challenges. I decided to make Mixed Media flowers for this basket-shaped card. For the flowers, I used the colors - yellow, orange, and red, stamped with a background stamp and added a few splatters of white gesso. For the card, I created the basket by weaving the strips of paper which I distressed with my Vintage Photo ink. After arranging the flowers and the basket on the card base, I cut the edges to get the basket look and added a bow with a sentiment(stamped the word hello) tag.</span></div>
