19 Sep

I am honoured to be chosen as a winner of the #GDP357 project; as a result, I was asked to be a Guest Designer for this week’s challenge – #GDP361. I am very excited. 

Today’s project uses the beautiful colour combos Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and Flirty Flamingo.

You can also take part in this fun weekly challenge. 
I used the fantastic Splendid Thoughts Bundle, such a versatile bundle. 

Splendid Thoughts Bundle

  • I used Parakeet Party as my base, followed by another layer of dry embossed Parakeet Party. 
  • Stamped the image using Versarak Ink on Fluid watercolour Paper and used black embossing powder, then I watercoloured it using Flirty Flamingo Re-Inker. 
  • Die-cut a few pieces using Shaded Spruce and Basic White Cardstock. 
  • First, I added Shaded Spruce, Basic white Cardstock (embossed using Timber 3D embossing folder) and Very Vanilla Cardstock using glue in front of the card. 
#handmadecards #cards #greetingcards #handmadecards #maheswari #mystampgarden
  • Then adhere to the double bow using linen thread and the single bow using very Vanilla Baker’s twine using glue dots.
  • Stamp the sentiment on Shaded Spruce Cardstock using Versamrak Ink and White embossing powder.
  • As a final touch, I splattered some Shaded Spruce Ink on the background to give a little dark shade to the base. 

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card.

Hello lovely crafty friends, It’s time for anothe Hello lovely crafty friends,

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.

For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-insp For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-inspired card with a vintage feel. I wanted the card to have those warm, gentle colours that remind me of Autumn, while keeping the overall design soft and elegant.
I also added some delicate flowers to the design. I love how flowers can bring a little softness to a vintage-style card, and they worked beautifully with the Autumn colours.
I had so much fun putting all the little details together — choosing the colours, layering the elements and adding those finishing touches that make a card feel special.
