Pretty Pink Crafter: flowers

Showing posts with label flowers. Show all posts

Hey everyone,

It feels great to be back crafting after a while. 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!

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.

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.

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 Jennifer McGuire's 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 LetzCraft. (I really love their wide selection of good colors and quality papers that comes at a great price and in great sizes too)

Hey there!

I have been checking out different types of floral images apart from hand-drawn and stamped images and I came across the lovely critter sheets by Die Cuts and More. I ordered the Ready to color Wild Roses one a few months ago to try it out.

Initially, I tried watercolors but since it's not printed on watercolor paper, the colors just seeped in and I did not like the result. Then I tried painting with my distress inks and got the same result. I was annoyed and decided to not work on it for a while.

I was cleaning my table after finishing a project and saw my stash of sketch pens that I have had for years, probably 10+ years, and thought of trying them on the critter sheet. The next morning I tried coloring one of the flowers and loved how vibrant it looked!

I colored two flowers in yellow, orange, red, a bit of brown, and the leaves in shades of blue. I used a dark background so that the colors of the elements could pop out and distressed the edges with some torn jeans distress ink.

After arranging the elements, I glued them down and added a sentiment heat embossed in white from Essential sentiments by My Favorite Things. Finished the card with a few black Pearl Drops from Little Birdie by Itsy Bitsy.

Hello everyone,

Recently I purchased a few art supplies as it had been a while since I made a purchase. I had been eying the gorgeous Inked Flora stamp set by Altenew for a while now and finally got my hands on it.

I have been meaning to paint flowers in the colors of the rainbow but I was skeptical as to how would the colors mix, would I get any unwanted shades, etc.

So I decided to take it easy at the start and paint every petal with a separate color. I painted the flowers with my Little Birdie Half pan Watercolours set by Itsy Bitsy, do expect a review soon!

I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set with silver embossing powder by Little Birdie. Added a few splatters of black paint and a few silver sequins to finish off the card. This card is among my most favorite projects of the year!

I loved playing with the stamp set, be sure to see many projects in the upcoming days!

Hey Guys! I'm back again!So currently I'm watching the India vs West Indies T20 Semi Final and writing this post as I am free only now.I love Cricket and today's match is gonna be a cracker one!May the best team win(Even though I want India to win :p)Anyways back to my post,so today I'm sharing a card with a tutorial which I've created for Lulupu's 4th Birthday Bash Challenge.I know that I'm very late,but I was so busy with work,studies as I'm preparing for my entrances.I'm really sorry for the poor picture quality as most of the pics are clicked in the evening so hence the poor light quality.

So now onto the tutorial,

Step 1:

So first,I chose a thick paper from my old notebook and cut a piece from it.

Step 2:

Next I applied some Camlin Texture White in some areas with an old toothbrush.

Step 3:

Next I used some Camlin acrylic colours in the shades silver,titanium white,permanent rose,medium magenta and brilliant purple along with some distress ink in the shade worn lipstick.I mixed and matched the colours along with some texture white to get the desired background as shown above.

Step 4:

I stuck a piece of patterned paper and this mesh which I up cycled from an old flower bouquet.You get these in the big flower bouquets and I always collect them.

Step 5:

I made these handmade flowers from online tutorials,punched out a few flowers from my flower punches and fussy cut some leaves.

Step 6:

So finally,I added the flowers,leaves along with a handwritten sentiment,some silver buttons and I used this glitter glue in purple and red to add some more details.

Here's a closer look at the card!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
1)Lulupu's Birthday Grid - (I have used the C2 column-Glitter,Patterned paper,flowers,buttons)
