Self painted leaves

Hello dear bloggers,

The leaves on this card have been randomly painted by yours. Tied a double ribbon which took it's own time and finally stuck the image upside down. Will cut it out and stick it to a fresh card base after completing this post. Lol. Except that it is not as funny as it sounds. Lol again.

I will participate in the following challenges:

Happy Birthday

Dear bloggers,

Here is a card to show you today with a die cut sentiment and eight layers of washi tape. It was quite an art to stick the dots together to align them. I think the camera shook a wee bit. Apologies for that.

Self painted bouquet

Hello dear bloggers,

I have painted this bouquet entirely on my own after taking tips on youtube. Apologies that I  cannot recall the link. The bow is hand tied as is the silver cord to attach the oval jewellery tag. The sentiment is handwritten and a silver metallic pen was used to match the silver cord.

I am trying to link this card to challenges but for some reason, Mr Blogger seems to be taking me to my blog posts when I click on the challenge link. Now that is a new number that Mr Blogger is doing on me and I hope this glitch sorts itself out soon. 

24 hours later and Mr Blogger is all sorted. Thank heavens for that!

Acetate card

 Hello dear bloggers,

Here is an acetate card to show you. The acetate came from the packaging of some dies. The leaf was die cut using paper that I smooshed with brush markers. The ribbon on the left was tied to cover up a faux pas. The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Hero Arts.

Recycled feathers

 Hello dear bloggers,

The feathers on this card were die cut using Ferraro Rocher chocolate foil which I stuck on to a thick card before putting in through my Cuttlebug. The feathers were embossed to make them appear more natural. The fluorescent paper was a result of painting with neon paints as well as gold poster colour. It looks really rich and vibrant in real life.

Embossed stencil

 Hello bloggers,

I embossed this piece of cardstock using a stencil many years ago. Since I was not impressed with the watercolour pencil work, it just lay around and waited patiently. One fine day, my daughter, Aleeza placed it on to a base card that was painted over with orange acrylics. She even arranged a die cut sentiment on it. When I saw it all coming together so nicely, I finally stuck it and this is the final result.

I will participate in the following challenges:

Happy BIrthday Card by Aleeza

Hello dear bloggers,

My younger one who is 12 often collaborates with me and we land up making fun cards. The top layer of the card here is TOTALLY her creation. She painted the flourishes with Camlin watercolour brush markers from India and wrote the sentiment with a black permanent marker. I layered another piece of cardstock underneath after painting the edges with a matching brush marker. Glitter pens were used to go over the squiggles and they look quite sparkly in real life.

 I will enter this card in the following challenges:
