ATSM - Card challenge - #385 Photo inspiration

Hi, Crafty friends..
Swapna here and its time for new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and we have photo inspiration for the challenge. Click here for more details and the Inspiration from DT members.


Here is my take
  • I stamped images from SSS set and coloured with zig markers.
  • I fussy cut the images and put thin coat of glossy accent on the ice cream portion.
  • I prepped my card base by stamping sentiment and stripes with distress inks.
  • Then glued ice cream cones towards bottom center of he card.


Here is closer look at those stripes.


Glossy accent adds life to those ice cream scoops.


Thank you for visiting.

 Click here to look at what other DT members have came out.


Now coming to my take on the card. Many a times I plan things out and at the end it turns out to be something else. Its one such card. This set was on my wishlist and recently bought it,thought will put it in use.

  • I stamped image from Simon says stamp and sentiment from Fiskers with black ink.
  • Die cut it with spellbinders die.
  • I wanted something to mat but didnt have die so i matted the diecut on grey CS and then cut around it.
  • Foam mounted it on the white card base.
  • Felt it needed something so i added red colour on lips.
  • Thats it, I finished my card.



Do share your suggestions and thoughts on my take to the challenge. Dont forget to enter your card to the challenge and leave some love to the other posts.

Happy little Stampers - Water colour challenge, January

Hi.. Here I am with my first post for 2020. I am joining Happy Little Stampers for next term. I am sharing my water colour card here.
You can join our challenge by clicking here.



Here is my take on the challenge

I was hoarding this die set from Altenew so thought of putting it into use. Fist I die cut all layers in white card stock. Then i applied light wash of water colours, kept applying colours till I was satisfied. I left them air dry, added few spritz of water to add texture.
To define edges I ran a green ink pad over the card edges and the die cut. I stamped sentiment on he die cut and foam mounted it on the card base towards upper right side of card base. Then glued my floral arrangement on the card base. Added clear droplet to the card.


Love the effect from water droplets.


Love how defined edges add dimension to the otherwise simple die cut.
