Studio Katia 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop - Day 2


Hello friends!
Studio Katia is celebrating two years with a release blog hop with a lot of friends.
Today is DAY 2 of the hop, you must be here from the uber talented Dana Gong's blog.

I have two cards to share with you today.


Studio Katia Under the Sea | Seashell Shaker | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0


For my first card, I have used Under the Sea Stamp Set and Seashell Shaker with lots of glitter and sparkle.
I started by die cutting the shell shape then stamped all of my sea elements. After this, I coloured the images with Prismacolor and die cut them using the coordinating die.

I then prepped my card front where I kept the colour intensity higher where I knew I would place my shell. After my panel was ready, I popped up my shell and all the stamped images with foam tape.
In the end, I added a lot of glitter and iridescent circles. I also used Nuvo shimmer pen on my images and background.

Studio Katia | Lovely Blooms | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

For my second card I used Lovely Blooms Stamp Set.

I started by stamping in such a way as to build a floral border. This I heat embossed in gold.
Then I started watercolouring using distress reinkers.

After I was done watercolouring, I adhered some gold crystals. I used both sides of these crystals, they are like clear diamonds from one side and gold at the other.

In the end I added tons of splatters and popped up the sentiment from Birthday Greetings Stamp Set.

Studio Katia Release Week - Day 3 - Lovely Blooms

Studio Katia | Lovely Blooms | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello!
It's release week over at Studio Katia and I am focusing on the gorgeous floral stamp - Lovely Blooms.

Studio Katia | Lovely Blooms | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
I kept my card very simple. Stamped the image with white ink and then used Prismacolor in white to colour the image to depict chalkboard drawings.
I have been eyeing beautiful chalkboard murals on Pinterest and was inspired by them.
You can check out what the other DT members came up with on the Studio Katia blog.

Thank you for stopping by!

Altenew May 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hello friends!
Welcome to another wonderful Altenew release.
My first card features Starry Flowers and Rustic Linen.

Altenew Starry Flowers and Rustic Linen | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I used the Rustic Linen stamp set on my background. I heat embossed it with Translucent Pearl embossing powder. To this I added some watercolour splatters.

I coloured the image with Artist markers and then die cut it using a coordinating die.

Altenew Fine Frames Circle and Fine Alphabet Die | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
This is a die with many possibilities. I used gold foil cardstock to cut out the die several times. I then altered the die cut pieces so they all have different sizes (or number of rings). I wanted the die cuts to mimic records.

After building my background I popped up the die cut words and added some gold confetti.

Altenew: Build-A-Flower: Morning Glory


Altenew Build-A-Flower: Morning Glory | Watercolored with Distress Inks | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello♥
I hope you are coming from the Altenew blog, if you just happen to drop by, know that we are releasing a new Build-A-Flower today which is Morning Glory. There are a lot of beautiful projects on the Altenew blog from DT and guests. You should definitely check them out.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Morning Glory | Watercolored with Distress Inks | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
I started by stamping my images with distress inks. After that I took a waterbrush to spread the ink and play with the stamped image a little to make it look like a watercolour painting.

The twig/branch is painted freehand. I heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock and popped it on one corner with foam tape.

I really like how the "faux painting" looks. I hope you like it as well.
