Easy to make cards with stamps and pattern papers

Hello everyone,

Riswana here with you today. Am so excited to be sharing my first DT post on the Lulupu blog.!

Did you check the new Challenge #63 - Sketch for this month?! Here's my take on the beautiful sketch by Sindhu.

I've used the "Enchanted" paper collection from simple stories for this card. I love love love these papers with their beautiful pastel shades & so many 'princess'y elements :)

I've used a regular paper punch to add some holes & fussy cut to make the PP look like a notepad paper & crushed a little bit to add some texture.

To make the focal point, Added some glass bead glitter gel & sprinkled some pink micro beads on the bg. Fussy cut the crown & star wand images from the paper pack & heat embossed with clear sparkle embossing powder. I also embossed the swirls in the second layer with the same EP.

Added wink of stella clear glitter & glossy accents, on some areas to add more sparkle & shine.

For the sentiment, Made a banner out of the PP & mounted with foam squares.

This card is super sparkly in person & I wish I could have captured it all in picture.!

Here's another simple & fun card with a totally different look.

I used Mudra play with lines stampset & memento dye inks to create the striped bg. Added a layer of vellum & mounted the flowers & sentiment banner to finish the card. The flowers are from inkadinkado doodle flowers stampset, stamped with Archival jet black ink, colored with Zig clean color real brush pens & a gemstone brad added in the center.

Hope you liked my projects. Looking forward to see your wonderful creations for the sketch Challenge .!

Create. Have fun.

Challenge #63 - Sketch

Hi everyone!!
It's Sindhura here and it is time for a new challenge. We thought it would be fun to challenge you all with a sketch this time. :)

Challenge #63- Sketch

The rules for the challenge #63 are:

1. Must follow the sketch.

2. Only cards and scrapbook layouts are allowed.

3. Feel free to rotate or flip the sketch. :)

4. Any theme can be followed

Please read the general guidelines for the challenge HERE. :)

Here are the cards I made based on the sketch-

My first card follows the sketch as is.

To make this card, I stamped the images from Mudra's Lotus Blooms stamp set with Versafine Onyx black ink. I cut another panel from a patterned paper from Ephemera paper pad and layered it with vellum and layered it on the panel with stamped images.. For my focal image, I stamped the lotus flower on a piece of cardstock, masked it and stamped the leaves. Colored the image, fussy cut it and adhered it on the panel. Then, mounted the adhered panels on a the base.
