Arjita Singh's blog!
Up first today is a new set illustrated by Gina called, "Your Make Me Smile" Here is what I have for you today:
Well, this card is another of my booboos that I turned into a card, lol! I was watercoloring the flowers and it just not doing right! So i scribbled on with the watercolors, thus creating this background! I sprinkled some water to get the white spots and the images is heat embossed in white also. Then distressed the edges a bit, tied a bow and all done! Easy peasy mistake made pretty! D
Next up is a new set with new illustrator for us, Emily Schroepfer, Lettered and Lovely. And ohhh how lovely it is! I so envy folks who can do this writing like these stamps have! But, since I cannot, I now have this lovely stamp set! I LOVE love it! here is what I have done for today:
I heat embossed the writing with some turquoise embossing powders . It's hard to tell, but its shiny and pretty IRL, it has pretty silver carstock for the topping and scalloped bottom and for a layer. Really makes the colors just pop together! Love this card, the colors especially!
Ok ready for more wonderul inspiring eye candy? I know you are! Next up on the blog hop is the ohsoawesome

ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed with anyone who makes these hand lettered creations like these. What beautiful talent! I can't make them myself so I am happy to see Gina had brought one of them into her design team for the rest of us to be able to have a little peice of their awesome talent.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful ~
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful! Love the background on your first card!
ReplyDeleteThe white embossing is amazing with your color choices.
ReplyDeleteIt is always so interesting to me when someone I consider expert admits to a mistake and how she rescued the card. If you didn't say anything no one would ever know, cos the end result is lovely. Also like the sentiment card. I think that stamp set will sell out really quickly.
ReplyDeleteWell I think that is one fantastic boo boo. Wish mine turned out that great. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThese are two wonderful cards !
