ATSM – Make Your Mark Challenge #377

Hi.. Swapna here with my take on the current challenge at Addicted To Stamps and More. Its MAKE YOUR MARK challenge, to know more about the challenge and what the fellow design team members have to share click here.

Now coming to my take on the challenge.
This Calendar year I have decided to use my colour pencils more and more. I have been hoarding them for 3 long years. I was never confident about my blending and never had the push to break my myth. This challenge will sure improve my confidence in pencil colouring.

To start with I chose a simple image from Birch press designs.

  • I stamped the image on a coloured card base with black ink.
  • Used my prisma colour pencils in green shade to colour.
  • I wanted to use other colours but thought to try “What I am confident in”.
  • Stamped sentiment from same set.
  • I frame the design I drew lines around with same colour pencils.

Here is closer look at the blending. If you have suggestions for me to improve my colouring then you are welcome.

Such simple lines give so much interest to the simple design.

Please do join us and share your take on the challenge. Dont forget to visit the challenge post for more details.

Thank you

Kraft card stock + White pigment ink

Hi…
Here I am with simple and quick cards. I made these cards for Muse challenge .

The inspiration card so fun that I ended up doing two cards with same layout.
 For first card I used SSS stamp set. I stamped the half image with Khaki ink and the other half with white pigment ink. Stamped sentiment with memento ink.

I got inspired by the layout of the inspiration card. The inspiration card had pop of red colour so I used black to pop as my card base was kraft.
The white and khaki colours were subtle so to add another colour I stamped sentiment with black which could stand out yet is in harmony with other colours.
Made the other card with same design. I used clearly besotted stamp for this.

Ink blending – One layer card

Hi…
Friends…
I always struggled to make one layer card.
 When ever i tried due to some mistakes I had to make them layered instead of One layer. 
But off lately i am making one layer card though I start with a plan of layered card.
This simple card I made by clear heat embossing and over that blending inks.
I used snowflakes stamp foe the background, and used 4 distress inks. Stamped sentiment with versafine black ink. Finished card with few sequins.
** Please suggest me how to position sequins, I always struggle with sequins placement.
