LDRS Coordinating Envelope and card set

Hello Everyone,

Anushree here, LDRS Halloween, Fall and Christmas new collection is already out and everything is so wonderful.

I have made today's card using some new stamp and dies set. I have used Hello Sunshine Stamp and Coordinating Die set along with A2 Envelope Die + A2 Envelope Liner Die set.

Here are some pictures,

 

I started out making the envelope first, it was super easy using the envelope die. This set has 3 Dies, I used Kraft Cardstock for the envelope. I cut out 5 pieces from these 3 Dies as instructed on the back cover of the Die packaging and adhered as guided.

Next I took a white cardstock and cut out the liner using the liner die. I started stamping some small sized florals from Hello Sunshine stamp set, coloured them using alcohol markers and diecut using coordinating dies. I arranged these on the liner as seen in the pictures. Once the liner gets ready, I slipped it inside the ready envelope and adhered it using clear glue.

Now it's time to make the card, I wanted to make a clean and simple card, so stamped one single big floral on bottom left side and coloured it using pencils and alcohol markers. I drew simple lines using pencil colours around the card to add a bit of interest and stamped the sentiment in Black Raven Ink. My card is ready.

Hope you enjoyed the making of this card and its coordinating envelope. I totally loved using these new sets.

Thanks for stopping by. See you next time with more inspirations.

Altenew Pair- a - Flower Watercolor Contest

 Hello Everyone, Anushree here

I’m so excited sharing this project of mine with you….Before you see all the pictures, let me share the story behind it …so it all started when scrolling through my mails, I saw this mail from Altenew newsletter mentioning about Pair a Flower Watercoloring contest….Immediately I decided to make card with my Altenew supplies….while picking up the stamp set , my mind argued if I want to make a card or try something else….but what to try??

I went on thinking for next two days as watercoloring has some restrictions like using watercolour papers most importantly ….other surfaces may not respond that well while using watercolours…I did some experiments before making this project and here’s my findings…

💫I used Altenew Metallic Water Colors set on wood and it stayed very well…I even applied a thin coat of spray varnish to keep the work intact for longer….yay…so no restriction for using it only on paper.

💫I was sceptical if these watercolours will loose their shine after some days or after varnish….but nothing happened and everything looked same as day one.

I clicked my project pictures after 4 days of completing it and it shines same…so a BIG Yayyy….so happy to have these metallic colors from Altenew…have opened so many new dimensions of art work to me. Hoping you all find it helpful too.

Here’s a picture of my project, I have made a Calendar for Year 2023

Now coming to my process, will keep it short and pictorial…I took a small cheeseboard wooden cut-out and used Gesso mixed acrylic paint as base coat. Next I applied  metallic watercolours as seen in the pictures and did some gold splattering too

                                             

                                    

                                   

I stamped the florals from Altenew Celebrate Today Stamp set on watercolour paper and coloured using Altenew Winter Wonderland Brush Markers set.

Here's the final project, I added printed calendar one over another stacking it up and also attached a paper twine on the top to hang it.

I have also attached a magnetic strip at the back of wooden base so make it multipurpose .Lol, I was thinking if I can't hang it, what other option I have it keep it around

Did you notice those gorgeous gold sparkles, I have used gold from same metallic colors set.

I am honestly thrilled making this one using watercolour techniques, totally loved the results.

Hope you liked it too.

My Inspiration for pairing the flowers has come from my mum's garden ...she has some really beautiful floral plants.

Sunshine LDRS

Hi Everyone!!

Here's my card using a beautiful stamp set "Hello Sunshine" from upcoming release of LDRS.

To make my card, I took an A2 size white card base and inked with some Key Lime Pie hybrid ink. Next I splattered some brown and some yellow water colour on top of the inked card base.

I took a small size Kraft Cardstock and cut it to pot design, I also used Natural Granite stamp set to give some texture to my pot and adhered it to card base using foam tape.

Next I stamped the florals on a separate Neenah cardstock and coloured them using alcohol markers. I used coordinating dies to cut these to beautiful shapes and adhered all these gorgeous flowers using clear glue as seen in the picture.

Lastly stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Raven Ink. I completed my card adding some white gel pen over the flowers and the pot.

I totally loved making this card, hope you enjoyed it too and waiting eagerly to see the whole release soon.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon with more inspiration.

Cave card with masking technique | LDRS

Hi Everyone!!

It's Anushree here and today I'm sharing a card made using masking techniques. This technique is simple and so much fun.

I have used Cave Dwellings stamp set and Cave Kiddos stamp set with their coordinating dies for this card.

Here's the card

 

To make my card, I took 5*7" Kraft card base. Next I took a half inch smaller (from all sides proportionally) Neenah white cardstock.

First I stamped the cave house and path image from Cave Dwelling stamp set. Next I took the masking paper and stamped the same image, cut it using coordinating dies and pasted on top of my stamped image.

Same as like cave houses, I stamped the cave kiddos as seen and masked them using the masking paper.

Next I did some ink blending for the top half using a mix of blue and grey shades to create the night scene. For the bottom half, I used shades of yellow and browns for ink blending creating a scene around the bonfire.

Remember, all the images are still masked while I'm doing this ink blending.

Next I removed all masking paper from white cardstock, now I have all clean images without getting any colour from ink blending. Time to colour these now, I used alcohol markers to colour all.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment and two small kids images in Raven Hybrid ink .

To complete my card, I attached this ink blended white cardstock over the Kraft card base and adhered enamel dots.

Hope you enjoyed my card and inspired to try the technique with these cute stamp sets from the LDRS Creative Store .

Bye for now, See you soon with another inspiring post.

Thanks for stopping by.
