Hello people!
Hope your winter vibes are at the peak now as we are approaching the X-mas day and the new years in the coming few days!
And keeping in the festive spirit, we have our last INSPIRATION STATION Challenge theme of the year, inspired by which, I made this CAS Card with No-Line watercolored motifs...

Pretty, right?
To start, I revisited an old Hero Arts Kit and stamped the ice pond and the skater girl image directly onto a white card base using light grey distress ink, my go to for no-line watercoloring.
Then, I used my Zig Watercolor Markers and colored the images, emphasising the shading over the clothes and the legs and the pond as well...

I found the backdrop to be too white and plain, and so, I flicked the brush nibs a little over the top and then stamped little snowflakes to set the scene of snowfall!
​For the sentiment, I used s deep teal color and stamped it just beneath the pond...

Tis the season to be jolly,
FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA...
Hello everyone!
With christmas celebration starting all around the globe, how can INSPIRATION STATION Challenges be behind?
Their theme is related to the festive spirit and so, without further ado, I joined in and made this quick to assemble holiday card,

I started by using a starry embossing folder, applied dark red distress ink to it's negative side and then ran it through my bigshot with a bright red cardstock.
The results were stunning! All the stars had a deep tone onto their embossed faces whick completely looked so magical.
To assemble the card, I used a white A2 card base and started putting multiple layers of festive pattern paper over the top in an appealing manner, and then, I topped it with this red star embossed panel.

Now, for the sentiment, I die cut the letters to spell NOEL out of white cardstock scrap and uesd foam squares to glue it to the card front.
​I added some half pearls for some bling and voila! our card is ready in minutes...

The products used are:-
1. ITSY BITSY NIGHT SKY EMBOSSING FOLDER
2. LAWN FAWN CHILLI PEPPER CARDSTOCK
3. DISTRESS INK - CANDIED APPLE
4. LAWN FAWN OLIVER'S STICHED ABCS DIE
5. SCOTCH DOUBLE SIDED ADHESIVE FOAM SQUARES 6MM
7. SCOTCH DOUBLE SIDED ADHESIVE TAPE 1"
8. JAGS ADHESIVE HALF PEARLS - IVORY
9. SIMPLE STORIES SIMPLE VINTAGE CHRISTMAS 6X8 PAPERPAD

The card was really fun to make;
I started by copic coloring the image and then fussy cut it out.
Then I created a snowy scene using Stormy Sky, Tumbled Glass and Iced Spruce Distress oxide inks.
I also splattered some Speckled egg distress oxide dots over the inked panel.
Then I used snowflake stamp to enhance the snowfall, adhered the image and then finished it with a sentiment, all from Lawn Fawn stamp sets.

Howdy!
How's everthing goin'?
Good, great!
It's the mid of november and that means it's time for another INSPIRATION STATION Challenge,
and today, I've got a special card for you guys, Alcohol ink backed, bold and outrageous...

Started by simply spraying the whole of the A2 yupo sheet with the blending solution and then, I created spirals with the red and the brown alcohol inks.
Once dried, I used copper metallic alcohol ink and spread that over these concentric layer of colors.
Now, to create the SPREAD effect, as I like to call it, spiral the two colors again.
This causes the metallic pigments to drift, creating the halo.

Using foam tape, I stuck this panel to a black card base.
For the sentiment, I die cut the phrase out of white cardstock and the shadow from black for contrast.
Then, using liquid glue, I adhered it to the panel and our card is done!
