Feather card - with inka golds

Hi friends,
I felt ecstatic after recieving so many beautiful comments and messages on my last post and video in which I featured the viva decor Inka golds. The last experience with the product was amazing so I decided to use it one more time and try few more tips n tricks.
I personally love creating cards because they are quick and give me 100% happiness but I want to mention all the steps can be very easily used to create layouts,tags and altered art.
 So let's begin today's project and the things u will need are :
Inka gold -gold
Inka gold - lava red
Inka gold - apricot
Distress ink -cracked pistachio 
Sizzix feathers die
Mini ink blending tool
Tonic trimmer
Craft mat
ATG (glue)
Tombow glue
Vellum
Versa mark
Super fine detailed white EP
Pearls /sequence 

So guys !!grab all the supplies and let's start it together :)

Step1: die cut and emboss the feather from a white card stock and add gold on the tips fading downwards .


Step 2:die cut the arrows and paint them with red ,gold and apricot inka golds

Step 3: ink the card panel with cracked pistachio by using the mini foam blending tool. Apply two coats to get a more solid and even coverage .
😊TIP: always use the craft mat when you work with paints and inks. It is heat proof stain poof and super easy to clean.

Step 4: cut the coloured panel into four stripes of different thicknesses. Now start adding little strokes of gold using a small piece of foam. This will give it a beautiful golden distressed look.

Step 5: i embossed a sentiment on some vellum card stock using super fine white embossing powder. 
😊TIP:It is always a good idea to use a powder tool to remove any static /oil/ or debris which might attract the EP. This makes the EP stuck only to the versa mark:)

Finally we all all set to assemble the card together.try different arrangements and then stick them the way you liked the most. I added few flat back pearls and gold seqence to jaa up the project.





Here is the video link which shows you each and every step to make this beautiful card.

It feels great to reach this level of crafting  and now I can attempt to share what I have learnt till now . There are new products and new techniques coming up everyday and all of us should be aware & always ready to learn more and more.

Shabby chic banner garland

Hi friends ,

This project is very close to my heart as I made it for my daughters room. Both of us love pink and we always wanna be surrounded with this gorgeous colour .
I created a banner for her pin up board where she organises her school schedule and her other activities. 


Step 1:
I started by cutting 5 thick Kraft coloured triangles and 5 different pion patterned paper triangles( which were a little smaller than the Kraft triangles) I love the pion papers because they r so pretty and girly.

Step 2: 
I used clear bead gel and the beautiful tim holtz lace stencil to add some texutre on the triangles.

Step 3:
Next I stamped few Altenew vintage flowers and vintage roses with the help of my misti tool. Fussy cut them by hand.
I used the stampin up inks for these vibrant pretty blooms.I have a tiny video tute to introduce you to "Misti"

Step 4:
I wanted to use the super cute Julie Nutting wooden dolls for this project as my daughter loves them. I wanted to trim away the loop and it was easy with tonic scissors.


Step 5:
I used one of my spellbinders labels die to cut 5 pieces which i have placed at the base of my arrangement. There are lots of cute tags and elements in the pion stack and I trimmed and distressed them too.

Step 6: 
I punched some pink paper with the STAMPIN up border punch & added at the top. I sticked a pearl string and a white lace trim to add interest.

Step 7:
Final arrangement of the banner . I layered few pion elements and tags over each other. Then I placed the roses and leaves. I sticked the doll and a cute mini metal charm. To add a little bling I used the mariane crystals here and there. 
Finally i stringed all the five triangles through some seem binding and a cute banner was created .
Here are some close up shots :





My daughter absolutely loved it and will place it the way she wants.
I hope u too liked this post.

Thanks for stopping by
Lots of love
