Hello, I am stopping by to share some cards I created with inspiration from Altenew's March Challenge Photograph.Check out these three cards and let me know what you think. Card 1: It is a double fold card. I used a Crafter's Workshop stencil for the background and Persian Motifs stamps. Distress inks are used for background coloring while Prima's watercolor pencils for flowers. I love those pencils- they are soft and easily turns into watercolors with a touch of water. If you color with pencils first and add water, it creates nice gradient, almost like that can be created with Zig's Clean Clear brush markers. The sentiment is from Avery Elle's latest die set. The baker's twins hold two flaps of the card front. ------ Card 2: This one is my favorite. I used Roman Tile Embossing folder from Cuttlebug, Persian Motifs stamps set from Altenew. Distress inks and Prima Watercolor Pencils are used for coloring. Sentiments from JustRite stamps and Avery Elle die. I added flat sequins for some interest. ------ Card 3: I used Spellbinder's Grate Effect die to represent texture created by well designed and manicured garden in the challenge picture. Orchids are from Oriental Orchid Stamp set and the sentiment from Label love stamp set from Altenew. Enjoy! Submitted to: 1. Altenew- March Inspiration Challenge 2.

Today I’m at the Altenew blog and playing with this beautiful Oriental Orchid set, and I have a tip for you, so that you can be ready to create that ‘quick on the go’ card and still have something tha
Hello all! I am very glad to announce that I will be associated with a new online craft supply store opened in India today. It is named Ranganjali, which means offering of colors. It is going to carry various international and local art and craft supplies. My crafty friend in India, you should check out this store. They are a running promotional offer and free shipping. At this happy occasion and in view of upcoming Valentine's day, I have created this card using Altenew's Oriental Orchid Stamp set. There are very few stamps that have orchid designs. I wanted to try this stamp set since they it was released. I like orchids. Being very different from other flowers, they carry certain charm. In most orchids, the petals seem to have been arrange in two layers and in different curvature. To capture this, I decided to use vellum for the flowers. First, I stamped outlines of the flowers with Altenew's Ruby Red Crisp Ink. I then colored the flowers with Prima Marketing's Watercolor Pencils- 01, 09,30, 21, 84, These colors are white, yellow ochre, orange and magenta. Lighter colors I used in center and darker at the edge, to create an impression of veins, curvature and overlapping among petals. I then stamped most central areas of each flower in the same Ruby Red. It is important to remember that vellum does not absorb any ink, and so, you need to let the ink dry otherwise it will smear. Using a stylus, I curved the petals of the flowers for added effect. I also cut and separated petals around edge of the flowers. I used larger card size- 5x6.5 inch so that I can add long stems and rows of flower. Before stamping the stems with Peeled Paint Distress Ink, I decided on arrangement of flowers and masked those areas. I stamped the large sentiment from the same stamp set in Pearlescent Chocolate- Brilliance ink and the smaller one in Jet Black StazOn ink. Lastly, I adhere flowers with Glossy accents, touch up some stem areas using brush, with Peeled Paint. For added interest, I added some metallic sequins. And there it is! My try to recreate orchids on paper. These and many more craft items are available in Ranganjali store. Enjoy!

Hello! I am stopping by to add a card I created to submit in Altenew's challenge for May. I like their Orchid stamps. So I have combined it today with Penny Black's Geometric border diecut.

Happy Friday! Are you going to be spending time outdoors? The weather here is so unpredictable here. If it's nice you know I'm going to be outside! I'll make Mr. J start up the grill and get cooking LOL! If it's rainy I'm guessing he'll be watching the TV and I'll slip away for some crafting. I'm playing with the Altenew Oriental Orchids from Tupelo Designs LLC. They're my favorite place to shop! They carry lots of my favorite brands.. .Reverse Confetti, Altenew, My Favorite Things, Concord and 9th, and Waffle Flower just to name a few. They've got free shipping ALWAYS (USA ONLY) with no coupon code required. I also like that I get reward points for dollars I spend in the shop. These turn into dollars that I can use on my next order. I sure hope you will give them a chance the next time you want to order something! Want to go shopping? Click here! The Oriental Orchids are a multi layer stamping set. No worries choosing colors - Altenew inks take the guess work out of choosing what colors to layer together. I love that their packaging also has photos of the completed images for easy reference. I didn't add all the layers in the set. I stamped the base layer in Frosty Pink, and then the outline in Ruby Red. For the middle layer I used Coral Berry. I added a bit of yellow to the flower centers with a Copic Marker. I toyed around with the idea of putting the orchids on pattern paper but decided against it. The simplicity of this design lets the flowers do all the talking! A simple finishing touch is a few gold glitter enamel dots. I hope you have a great day doing what you love!

Aren't these orchids so delicate and sweet. They remind me of Japan, and the cherry blossoms. It must be the colour of them. I have primarily used Powdered Pink for these orchids. It is such a delicate pink, and very girly. The darker details in the centres have been stamped with Berry Burst. The Climbing Orchid bundle I used to create these flowers, consists of an orchid stamp set and matching framelits. The framelits are the metal shapes in the picture below. They perfectly frame the stamps and cut them out perfectly when you run them through a die cutting machine. It makes the whole flower creation process a breeze. Grab your Climbing Orchid bundle here and get 10% off. This card was one of the projects in July's Stamping By Mail class. Stamping By Mail is a class that is delivered straight to your door. You get the stamps and dies, plus eight project kits with full instructions. To see the latest class details, click on the image below. Thanks for dropping by. Have a great day.
