Hi there!

A one layer card is a challenge on its own... add a colored card base and you have a challenge² !

I played it safe by using a cream card base. Must admit I love the way it turned out considering the fact that it's all stamped 😯

I used:

• Clear stamp set by Hampton art ( flower-joy )
• Altenew Crisp inks: Parrot, Peach Perfect, Cotton Candy, Mango smoothie.
• Versafine black ink.
• Misti.

Inspired by the following challenges:

Less is more

& 

AAA cards collaboration challenge to use a colored card base.

Addicted to stamps ~ Anything goes.

CASology : Diamond

Hi there!

Time for a new cue card at CASology !


                                                                

I was staring at a line art image of a diamond to get inspiration for my card. Not knowing which direction the design will go. Turned the diamond upside down, and saw there was an "A" hiding in the diamond!

Instant inspiration 💭

I decided to focus on the sentiment and replaced the "A" in sparkle with the upside down diamond.

I used:

• Silhouette studio for design.
• Silhouette cameo for cutting.
• Zig markers for smooshing the cut alphas.
• Watercolor paper.
• Fonts used: Atlantic cruise & Chettos Script.
• Rhinestones to finish off the design.

Hello!

Hi there!

The last two weeks' posts were scheduled, blogging 'live' again, and you will see a bit more of me in blog land !

We had an amazing time visiting Belgium, and the Netherlands! If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook, you will definitely know all about this! We saw the most amazing places, and I couldn't help sharing a LOT of it !

Speaking about following... I have removed the e-mail subscription gadget temporarily , just to see if I can get rid of the ridiculous amount of fake? spam? e-mail sign ups. This will not affect those of you who already receive e-mails of my posts. You will continue to receive updates in you inbox. I will add the gadget again after a while, and watch to see if it improves.

I have also started a Facebook page and you are welcome to stay updated with my posts by liking Desert Diva  . The links to my Social media pages are in my side bar.

And some other news...

If you scroll down, you will see a little golden badge I received from Feedspot, to show my ranking in the TOP 30 Silhouette Blogs & websites for Silhouette enthusiasts !


A nice little surprise!

Thanks for all the love and support... looking forward to start crafting again!

Hugs

CASology : Wish

Hi there!

What do you wish for on this day... come share your wishes at CASology this week!

                                                         

My card:

A closer look:

The supplies:

Using a die cut mask and my Misti,  I repeatedly stamped the sentiment to create a background for the pretty Cosmos from UNIKO.

I used my Silhouette to 'fussy cut' the flower with the PIX scan mat for the cameo.

The flowers were colored with Zig markers.

Black ink : Versafine onyx black.

Using a sentiment as background is a great way to add interest and keep your design CAS!
