Addicted to CAS - rainbow

Hello bloggers,

This is my second card for the day which I will enter in Addicted to CAS where the theme is rainbow. I took a piece of white card stock and coloured it in the form of a rainbow with Derwent water colour pencils over which I went over with a water colour brush. The happy birthday sentiment has been die cut from the rainbow paper. The tape at the bottom is from 3 M.


Happy crafting,

Water colour leaf

Hello sweet bloggers,

Pinterest is taking a lot of my time these days and this particular card got it's inspiration from there. The leaf has been die cut from water coloured paper which was the handiwork of Aleeza, my younger one. I have used almost the entire little sheet of foam dots to raise up the white paper and the leaf. Embroidery yarn has been used to fill up the empty space at the bottom.  I quite like how this card turned out.

Thanks

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card where one of the feathers and the sentiment has been die cut from a laminated lid of a yoghurt container. The royal blue and purple feathers have been die cut from water colour paper after my younger one painted them with Sakura acrylic paints. The background has been created with Versamark Brilliant pearlescent ink in lavender as well as a tiny bit of distressed ink (lucky clover). Rounded off the edges and my messy preparation was ready. Lol.

Hello

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made on printed cards tock.  The rose has been made with my Altenew layered rose die. The doily is from my stash and so are the pearls. I have used foam dots to adhere the rose and the leaves. 
The hello sentiment has been die cut using packaging material. That is pretty much to this card and I quite like how it turned out. I did add more pearls after photographing it though.

Hello

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I made while we were in the US last year. The flower and leaf stamp is from Paper Source and the sentiment has been die cut from a thick carton and I went over it with distress inks and many layers of Wink of Stella. So much so that I finished my Wink of Stella on this. The rhine stones are from my stash. The images have been stamped with distress inks and coloured with water colour pencils.

Monkey and Hamster

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card that Aleeza designed and I put it together. I cannot recall the name of the stamp which we have used for the sentiment. The coppery washi tape had to be used to cover up some stains. The monkey is 3D felt sticker from the craft store in town. The brown strip on the left is washi tape from my stash as well.


Below is Aleeza with Ginger, her class hamster who was visiting this weekend. Aleeza was so happy to have him, she being a total animal lover. In the picture, she has put Ginger in a shoe box.

Yes, the third graduation card

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I made for my older daughter's bestie from our family. The image is a Prima rubber stamp which has been stamped with black Stazon. I have put a graduation hat sticker on the lady. The two small flowers have been punched from handmade paper from India while the big one has been sponged with distressed ink. The centre of the big flower is a seed which I often see lying on the green path outside where we live. I have used foam dots under the black paper and I can safely say this is almost the bestest knot I have made to date. Lol.
