Laugh Giggle Be Happy

I am back with another creation using the same Leafy Vine stamp and Faber-Castell Gelatos.

For this card, first I created the gradient watercolor background using Gelatos in blues. Then I used Purple Gelato to stamp the Vine image.

Find Joy Everyday

Hello friends!!
Today, I played with my new Hero Arts stamp and some Gelatos and created a few cards. For this card, I used black Gelato directly on my stamp. I used the 1st. generation stamping for the lower Vines and  2nd. n 3rd. generation stamping on the top Vines.
I misted my stamp and applied Gelato directly over the stamp. Misted a bit more and stamped. It gives such a nice watercolor effect.

I used the photo from Runway Inspired challenge as my inspiration. Also linking this card at the challenge at:

More coming soon!!

Worm Wishes

Hello Everyone!!!

I was away for about 4 days. We had fun holidays to Europa-park. It's like Disneyland in Germany. Although I don't go on rides, I enjoy seeing my girls smiling and jumping after every ride....lol.

Anyhow, it's Wednesday and that means a challenge at Hambo Hoedown. I used the Hambo digi stamp: Fish Hooks.
The challenge this week is to create a project that is ANYTHING BUT  A CARD

I created a bookmark. The background paper is created on Word using the hook digi stamp repeatedly. Then, I colored in with my Copics and inked the edges using Distress Ink.

Hope you play along!!! Have fun :)

Fusion Challenge: Guest Designer

Hello Friends!! I am so excited today because I'm creating for the Fusion Challenge as a guest designer. I was so excited when Lesley invited me. Thank you so much Lesley for this honor.

So, now you must be thinking what is a Fusion Challenge? Well it is just a FUN concept. Look at the current challenge inspiration photo and it will be clear....lol

I am creating the Fusion using the sketch by Jackie and the inspiration photo by Lesley and this is what I came up with:

For this card, I used some masking and stamp kissing technique. Love the effect. So, hop over to the challenge blog and see what the DTs have in store for you. Have fun playing.

Till later!!!

Hambo: What's Spinnin'?

Hello Everyone!!! and Welcome Spring! Finally 2 days of nice sunshine. Today I even saw 2 tulip buds opening themselves to greet the Sun.

Anyhow, it's Wednesday and that means a challenge at Hambo Hoedown. I used the Hambo digi stamp: Spider web
The challenge this week is to create a project that incorporates webbing, mesh or thread (not twine).
Webbed ribbon, Magic Mesh (also can use drywall tape), sewing or embroidery thread.

I stitched around my card and also used thread by which Spider is holding onto the web. I tried some misting on this card and the result look nice to me, so I will be trying that out more.

Going out to enjoy the Sun now!!! Have fun :)

Smile and Laugh

Hello everyone!!! So the Spring break started today and actually it was quite warm and nice. I checked the weather and by weekend it's gonna be wet and cold again, so I decided to enjoy a bit. It was a happy day!
I get to put this wonderful honor on my sidebar. Thank you Paper Craft Magazine.

Alright, I am guest designing for the challenge blog "Cards und More" and the challenge is to create a scene. How could I not create a Spring scene with a lovely flower and butterflies, the sky, greens, and that too while playing with my new Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft goodies. I used some Gelatos, PITT Big Brush Pens, PITT Artist Pen. Love how we can mix and match these products to achieve the desired effect. As you know, I tend towards Clean and Simple and here it is again....a CAS mixed media scene. I have my daughters in mind, while creating this as they would always make me laugh and smile. So this page is dedicated to my dear daughters :)
I have to buy an actual journal book for myself now as I am loving these products so much and just want to keep playing...lol

I used my favorite stamp by Hero Arts.
