INSPIRATION

Today I have the fabulous

Deepti Malik

from Dee's Artsy Impressions

as my Guest designer!

About the card, Deepti says...

"To make this card, I masked and stamped the image in a light shade of distress ink and then did no line watercolouring.

I fussy cut the image and layered it onto a text print patterned paper."

I have a couple more projects to inspire you further.

To make the card, I started out with a masking fluid and water colour panel that I had made a while ago. I used the Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die to cut it to size. I then die cut 'Thanks' (a Winnie and Walter die) and inlaid it with ivory coloured cardstock, cut with the same die.

I then adhered this panel to a red card base and added the white heat embossed sentiment on black card, to finish the card. I also added some Craftangles sequins to add some interest.

To make the tag, I started out with a couple of die cut circles using Simon Says Stamp stitched circle dies. I gold embossed a mandala (from Craftangles) on the red circle and add the Thank You die cut from Penny Black (which has been layered three times).

I adhered the red circle to the white one with 3D foam tape and added some multicoloured red string to finish the tag.

I hope you have been inspired to play along with my THANK YOU challenge!

I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Now for some inspiration...
I have used this beautiful stampset deisgned my my talented guest designer
Deepti Malik called Kathryn's Rainbow.

For my card, I stamped and masked the umbrellas to create a floating pattern on a watercoloured sky.

I then painted them with rainbow colours and added the lovely sentiment from the set.

I added the clear sequins from Craftangles to complete the card.

To make the tag, I started with a stitched circle die cut on which I stamped the rainbow and clouds and watercoloured them.

I then cut part of a sentiment from the set and stamped it on the larger cloud which I popped up using 3D tape.

I then die cut some seagulls from the Recollections Nautical die set.

I finished the tag using Craftangles clear sequins and black and white baker's twine.

To inspire you some more, I have as my Guest Designer today

Dee's Art Utopia

Hi.

Thanks for having me over.

I am sketch artist by default and a card maker by choice. My card making started with making some new year cards back in 2013 and now it has turned into a passion.

I moved a step ahead in 2015 as I started to illustrate my own stamp designs with my line of stamps

"Dee's Artsy Impressions"

under the umbrella of STAMPlorations:)

I am also an instructor at Craftsy where I teach a class on Watercolour Cards made Simple.

I love all things clean and simple, but I also love to experiment. Water colours are my passion when it comes to a specific medium :)

Besides doing all the creative work, I am also, mom to a 19 month old siddharth, who keeps me on my toes 24x7 ;)

Here is a little about how I made the card and tag-

I had so much fun making these!

Lately, my love for inking is back and that led me to make the rainbow background for these.

To make these cards, I drew some diagonal lines using a ruler and then masked off and inked the stripes in rainbow colours using distress inks on both the card panel and the tag.

I then splattered some water on the top.

Next, I stamped, fussy cut and coloured the images and put those together on the base. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment and added some clear sequins.
