Sending happy mail and thank you cards

Hi.. Crafty friends...

Here I am with my second DT post. To be frank I really struggled and liked the process of these 3 cards. I hope you are playing along with our October challenge which is a recipe. Please do read Guidelines carefully before linking your project.

Card #1
** I masked the card base (1"around the card base), placed the stencil diagonally on the base and secured with masking tape.
** I mixed candid apple distress ink with texture paste, applied it through stencil. Left it dry on its own.
** Die cut the scalloped frame (bigger) with same CS, few vellum fern flourishes and one white fern flourish.
** I double heat embossed the CS fern flourish with gold embossing powder to give it dimension. Die cut few Thank you, adhered them together and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
** To assemble the card, I foam mounted the frame on card base around the stencilled area. I put silver embroidery floss on top of which glued ferns. Added the sentiment.

Here is a close up of die cut embellishments, just love this texture of white embossing powder.

Card #2

** This is my first attempt in colouring on vellum.

** I stamped & gold heat embossedin the image on vellum.

** Used few copics to colour it on back (many have said that colouring directly on heat embossed image with copics will damage copic nibs).

** I didn't feel like taking risk with glueing vellum on card front. So i left 1/2" towards top so that i can fold and glue it behind.

** Heat embossed sentiment with gold embossing powder.

** Added few enamel dots to the card.

Here is close up sentiment and the the coloured flowers.

Color throwdown #414 - Guest stamper

Hi..

Today I have a card for Colour throwdown #414 . I am so excited for being Guest star stamper.

This week's color throw-down inspiration is

I made card using MFT happy panda set. I loved those pandas so much that I ended up using all. I stamped the pandas and coloured with Zig marker. I stamped bamboos with distress ink and blended colours with plain water. Then i stamped sentiment and masked it along with pandas so that i can blend distress inks over it. I drew lines around sentiment so that it looks like banner. I die cut the panel with tonic scalloped rectangle die, but i didnt like the corners so i just trimmed them off.

Here is my card
