For my final card of the year, I wanted to work with something I love the most... flowers and water coloring :) I made a slim line card to keep up with the trend. I stamped the images and used Gansai tambi water colors for coloring. To finish I added the sentiment. I used Lotus Love, Peace Love Joy phrase die, You & me [for sentiment]

Crafty Meraki - December 26th 2020

Hello friends! I am back with Crafty Meraki goodness. Today I am featuring Crafty Meraki Little Things again. I am kind of addicted to floral stamps :) Crafty Meraki released a  huge collection of  their own Slimline Dies and Stamps in October and I have been sharing cards I made using these over on my Instagram account and also here for last two months. This release is gorgeous, you can check it out HERE. 

Let me show you what I made... 
To make this card, I simply stamped the image along the lower edge and water colored it. I used Gansai Tambi watercolors for coloring :) Working with different combination of colors is my favorite thing to do :)
Hope you like this card!
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me some love. 

I made another card from this same set, I colored this image during 30 Day coloring challenge organized by Kathy Rac, all I did was to stamp the sentiment using Altenew Bergenia Builder Stamp Set


What do you think about my choice of colors?

Crafty Meraki - December 19th 2020

Hello friends! I am back with Crafty Meraki goodness. Today I am featuring Crafty Meraki Little Things, this stamp set is very special to me for two reasons... one it is one of my illustrations and two it is a floral set and who doesn't love flowers ;) Crafty Meraki released a  huge collection of  their own Slimline Dies and Stamps in October and I have been sharing cards I made using these over on my Instagram account and also here for last two months. This release is gorgeous, you can check it out HERE. 

Let me show you what I made... 
To make this card, I first decided to make a background and for that I used paisley stamp from another newest set Diwali Greetings from Crafty Meraki. I heat embossed the paisley 

Then used distress oxide inks to make a swiped ink background. Distress oxide inks overlap better to make an even background. I then heat embossed the floral cluster on a water color card stock and used Distress Oxide inks to watercolor it. I then adhered it with some dimension. To finish I adhered the sentiment from Crafty Meraki Special Edition Watercolor Kit

Hope you like this card!
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me some love. 

Oh! I made couple more cards using the same set which were not shared here.

I used a white watercolor paint for some snowy details.
