Varada Sharma - Your Special Day

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday!  Today I have a quick post featuring a digi stamp from the Your Special Day Digital Stamp set by Varada Sharma Designs.  This set is part of the larger Sweet Summer Release for July 2022.  

The Your Special Day Set includes sentiments and a cake image however I've chosen to use only the Gifts to create a celebratory card that could be used for a birthday, a wedding, an anniversary, or any other special occasion. 

The image has been colored using alcohol markers and fussy cut, then adhered flat to a fancy scallop die cut panel.  The patterned paper is part of a digital paper pack from Polkadoodles.  

The sentiments have been die cut into strips and popped on craft foam for dimension.  They are included in this digi set.  To complete the card design, I've added light peach enamel dots.  I love this fresh color palette of Teal, Coral and Blue, it's so soft and feminine. 

That's all I have for today.  Have a great day and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Hot Air Balloon from Varada Sharma Designs

Hello and Happy Saturday!  Today I'm sharing a card created with the new Hot Air Balloon Digital Stamp Set from Varada Sharma.  This image is part of the larger Sweet Summer Release for July 2022.  This set contains a Balloon image with flowers as I've used here and a Balloon with the flowers separate.  

I've colored the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut in order to pop on craft foam for dimension.  I wanted to create a focal cluster and the idea of mixing a bit of vintage with the modern came to mind.  I shopped my stash and came across a DCWV (Die Cuts with a View) 12x12 paper stack of lovely shabby chic-like papers and knew I found the perfect background.  

After a bit more "shopping" the stash, I found vintage ticket ephemera and thought one would be lovely as a travel theme.  I also die cut a harlequin checked scalloped oval to mount the cluster on.  The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs and was given to me in a card swap.  To finish off the design, I've added light pink gems for extra sparkle.  

That's all I have for today.  I invite you to visit the Varada Sharma Designs Shop HERE for the July 2022 release and more beautiful sets.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Orange You Sweet

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Today I'm sharing a Mini Slimline Card featuring the new "Orange You Sweet" digital image from the Sweet Summer July 2022 Release by Varada Sharma Designs.    

This lovely image can be resized to fit a standard slimline card however I like to create mini slimline cards and this image is a nice and easy color.

I've colored the images with Prismacolor Pencils and added two snippets of colored card to each end of the panel before popping it and the sentiment strip on craft foam for dimension.  

It's not easy to see in the photos, but I've scored each of the end snippets of card so they appear to be corrugated, I was thinking of an orange crate when I added that texture.  Lastly, I've added some clear sequins for a bit of shine and additional interest.

Thanks so stopping by today and until next time, Happy Crafting!
