The wedding collection from Craftangles

Hello!

I am absolutely thrilled to be playing with the newly released 

Wedding and Diwali themed stamps from Craftangles!

The first card is made using stamps from 

the ‘Indian Wedding’ stamp set and the ‘Diwali wishes’ stamp set.

 I used Tim Holtz ‘dried marigold’ distress ink and the ink smooshing technique to create the beautiful background. I then stamped the mandalas from the ‘Diwali wishes’ stamp set using 

Tim Holtz ‘Spiced Marmalade’ distress oxide to create a tone on tone look.

I stamped the focal image using Tim Holtz ‘Vintage Photo’ distress ink on smooth white cardstock and watercoloured the same using Sakura Koi watercolour cakes.

I then popped up the focal image using fun foam.

I finished the card by adding the gold embossed sentiment and some gold sequins.

For the second card, I started by creating the background by smooshing some Tim Holtz ‘Black Soot’ distress ink onto red cardstock. I did a couple of layers of ink smooshing and then stamped the mandala ( Craftangles ‘Diwali wishes‘) using Versafine Onyx black ink.

I just love the depth this has created.

I then watercoloured the focal image  from the Craftangles ‘Mr. and Mrs. ‘stamp set using Sakura Koi watercolour cakes. I fussy cut the image and popped it up with some fun foam.

I finished the card by adding a white embossed sentiment on vellum.

For this card, I started with a background made using the ‘Rays’ stencil from Craftangles. In the centre, I stamped the OM (Mudra stamps) using Tim Holtz ‘Fired Brick’ distress ink.

I stamped, watercoloured (Sakura Koi watercolour cakes), fussy cut and popped up the Ganesh (Craftangles ‘Ganpati Bappa‘ stamp set) with fun foam to add dimension.

I finished the card with a sentiment from Mudra Stamps and  ‘bumblebee yellow’ sequins from Craftangles.

My final card, I am thrilled to say, turned out exactly as I planned it.

I created a shaker element by diecutting two circles and creating a ring using double sided foam tape. I filled this ring with large round gold sequins (to represent coins!)

I dry embossed the panel using a cuttlebug embossing folder.

I finished the card by adding the watercoloured (Sakura Koi watercolour cakes) image of Goddess Lakshmi from the Craftangles ‘Shubh Laabh’ stamp set.

I hope you liked the cards as much as I really enjoyed making them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!
