Free to Be from Varada Sharma Designs

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome!  Today I'm sharing a lovely birthday (or just a Thinking of You) card featuring the Free to Be digital stamp from Varada Sharma.  This image is part of the New Spring Blessing Release for March 2022. 

  


I've created a birthday card using this gorgeous image and colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I've kept the design rather sweet and simple; no dimension or patterned papers used today.



I've accented the image with purple gems and highlighting using a white Gelly Roll Pen.  I wanted the design to POP so I've matted with bright yellow card.

That's all I have for you today.  Please visit the Varada Sharma Shop for all the images in this release and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Daffodil Wreath

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-YAY!  Today I'm sharing a Design Team project created using the Daffodil Wreath Digital Stamp from the newest Spring Blessings Release by Varada Sharma Designs.  


To start, I printed the digital image on alcohol ink friendly card and colored using Spectrum Noir 
Alcohol Markers.  I then fussy cut the wreath and set aside to dry emboss a background panel.  


The background was lightly inked with soft pink pigment ink in order to enhance the embossing.  The wreath image was popped on craft foam and adhered to the panel.  Lastly, pink faux pearls were added to additional interest and sparkle.

Thank you for visiting today.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Spring Blessings March 2022 New Release for Varada Sharma Designs

Hello Crafty Friends!  I have wonderful news to share, I'm the newest Creative Design Team member for Varada Sharma Designs and today is New Release Day for March 2022!  I'm thrilled and honored to be a part of this wonderful team.  

The Spring Blessings Release contains 5 new digital stamp sets with coordinating sentiments.  For my design team project, I'm featuring the tulips digital stamp and sentiment from the "Tulips in My Yard" set. 


My card measures 5.5" square and to start the design, I arranged the tulips image in different orientations on a card panel.  I also printed the tulips image for a focal image.  Once printed, I colored the tulips using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and set aside to work on the background.


Using the 2 largest dies from the Pink Fresh Essentials Diagonal Stitched Squares set, I die cut out the middle of the large background card, creating a frame and die cut the focal image.  It appears that I've matted the focal with black card when in fact I have the middle piece that can be used for another project.

I matted the frame with black card and popped the focal on craft foam for dimension, then adhered everything with liquid adhesive  The sentiment strips are part of the "Free to Be" digital set and they have been adhered at an angle and flat to the focal panel.  Lastly, I've added turquoise blue faux gems to complete the design.  

Please visit the Varada Sharma Designs Etsy Shop HERE to see the rest of this release as well as other fabulous sets on offer.  You can see my teammates' gorgeous projects celebrating this Release by visiting Varada Sharma Designs on Instagram HERE.  

I'll be back on the 12th of March with another Varada Sharma design from the New Release and we're having an Instagram Hop that day as well!  You'll want to hop along for your chance to win a Gift Voucher to the Shop!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
