Elegant Designs with Mixed Media Stamps!

Hello friends! I am up with a spotlight project over at the STAMPlorations blog. Though my experience and knowledge in Mixed media is limited but I am always attracted towards these stamps and look for ways in which I can use them on CAS cards, before I actually start to use them for Mixed media projects... Perhaps someday I will get there ;) So for this spotlight I have used the stamps as a part of my CAS elegant designs :)

Here is what I created...

I have used Mixed Media Elements, Scribbly Splattery Grunge,The Birds and the Blooms (for the sentiment), Blossom Sprays #2 and For the Birds dies

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2017 and STAMPlorations !

Yay! It's time for Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and I am sharing few of my coffee theme Fall cards as a part of STAMPlorations :) We have some amazing new stamps, including the TYPOGRAFIA series, I am absolutely in love with these.

Here are a few of my creations... I have kept the fall theme in all my designs in terms of the colors I picked :) and I have done my favorite water coloring in all of these.

For the above card, I masked and stamped the images in light distress ink and water colored them for a no line coloring effect. Once dried I stamped the sentiment on top.

For this card I followed the same concept and stamped the cup with the flower and water colored it. To give it a more distressed look, I inked the edges with white pigment ink along the borders after the panel was all dried. Finally I stamped the sentiment on top.

For this card, I stamped the images in a grid pattern and water colored those. I then followed the same concept as the previous ones to stamp the sentiment on top.

For my final card, I went a bit creative in my design. where in I made a little fall scene from the coffee spill by a combination of water coloring and stamping.

Here are the products I have used Coffee Happy, Oh, So grateful, Coffeecionado TYPOGRAFIA Coffee,  Rise and Grind, Before Coffee - TYPOGRAFIA Coffeee, Coffee Petites and Vignette - Tree silhouette and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies. For coloring I have used Distress inks and Gansai Tambi Water colors.


Hope you enjoyed mt creations, check on the STAMPlorations Blog for the new products and the prizes you can win. Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)

Here is the look into my stamp set...

Now let me show you the card and the tag I made :)

I had so much fun. Lately, my love for inking is back and that led me to make the rainbow backgrounds for these. To make these I drew some diagonal lines using a ruler and the masked off and inked the stripes in rainbow colors on both the card panel and the tag. Did some water splatters on top. Next I stamped, fuzzy cut and colored the images and put those together on the base. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment and added some clear sequins.

Here is a closeup into each of these..

I want to thank Paru again for having me over :) I hope you will play along and have fun ! Click HERE for more details
