Morning Glory - Varada Sharma Designs

Hello and Happy Saturday! Today I'm sharing a card created using the new Morning Glory Digital Stamp from Varada Sharma Designs. This image and set are part of the larger Bold Blooms Digital Release for June 2022.

I've colored the image using alcohol markers and kept the card design simply sweet, only adding a black mat before mounting the focal panel to the card base.

The focal panel and mat were cut using stitched rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness. The sentiment is from the same digi set and has been backed with gold thread and popped on craft foam for dimension.

I'd like to invite you to visit the Varada Sharma Shop HERE for the June 2022 release in addition to so many other wonderful images.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Bold Blooms by Varada Sharma Designs

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is staying cool out there. It's been unusually Hot here in Florida and I'm thankful for Air Conditioning and a Swimming Pool!

Today I would like to share a card I've created using the Bold Blooms digital stamp from Varada Sharma Designs. This stamp set is part of the larger Bold Blooms Release for June 2022.

To start, I've printed the image on alcohol friendly cardstock and colored with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Alcohol Markers.

My card measures 5.5" square; my favorite square size to create as I can use the entire length of an 8.5x11" piece of card. I've kept the design fairly simple, only layering with a black mat.

I've trimmed the sentiment strips and popped on craft foam for dimension. The sentiments are included in the digital set. For a finishing touch, I've added bright pink gems.

Thanks for stopping by today, have a cool and relaxing weekend. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Bold Blooms Instagram Hop - Varada Sharma Designs

Hello Crafty Friends! Today the team at Varada Sharma Designs is hosting an Instagram Hop and there are (3) $10 Gift Vouchers up for Grabs. You can find the 1st Hop Stop HERE starting at 10 AM CST (11 AM EST).

We are celebrating the new Bold Blooms Release and for my team project, I've created a standard A2 sized card using the Forever Love Set; just one of the sets in this newest release.

To start, I printed the image on mixed media card as I wanted to watercolor and needed a paper that can handle the water. Using Gansai Tambi Watercolors, I've loosely painted the image and matted with black card before adhering to the cardbase.

I've splattered black watercolor paint over the panel and added the sentiment strip; the sentiment is part of the new Morning Glory Set from this release and has been popped on craft foam for dimesnion. Lastly, I've added blue gems to finish the design.

Please join us on Instagram for the Hop today. There is more inspiration using this new release there and we would love to have you join us!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Doodled Roses and Fancy Leaves

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday! Today is New Release Day at Varada Sharma Designs and the newest release is the Bold Blooms for June 2022. This release contains 4 digital image sets with sentiments and 2 Cut File Sets (SVG files). For my project today, I've used both cut files: Doodled Roses and Fancy Leaves.

Using my Cricut Machine, I've cut the doodled roses, the fancy leaves and circles for backing the roses using watercolor card. I've ink smooshed the cuts using Catherine Pooler inks and set aside to dry.

It is hard to see in the pictures but I have adhered several of the fancy leaves to a card panel to create a faux embossed background. The sentiments are from the Forever Love Set; the "Joy" was printed using my laser printer and has been hot foiled.

Please visit the Varada Sharma Shop HERE to see all the newest sets in this Bold Blooms Release. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
