Hey there people! I hope you all are doing well.

It's been long since i have posted a tutorial here & today is the day.

So i recently got my hands on this beautiful die set from amazing paper grace that i have been wanting to create with since long.

But before i show you that let me first show you what i created with the same.

This is CURLED GRACE OVAL DIE SET from amazing paper grace (spellbinders)

This is one beautiful die set with such elegant design.

This die set contains 6 dies in total and these are:

I get this die set from crafters corner india you can get this direct from spellbinders or amazon is one option as well.

Now coming back to my project.

when i received this in mail i was so excited & full of ideas i couldn't decide which one to go for first, so after giving it a lot of thought i thought lets go for something simple first.

So i decided on an idea to team this die up with any of my floral stamps.

Because stamping & coloring is something I love & I have to try it with this beautiful die set.

So i started by stamping a beautiful magnolia & colored it up using my watercolors.

Coloring sure is a long process & you have to be very patient throughout to get good results.

If i talk about myself its a meditation for me.

Okay so after this I went to die cutting the base.

I used the big solid frame die to cut on a script pattern paper.

Then i die cut the curled grace oval on crimson red cardstock.

Remember you need to stack these 3 together (solid frame+elegant frame+inner window)

Also die cut small oval on off white cardstock.

To put this together I first adhered the main frame on to the base with dimensional tape.

Then the oval in the center & magnolia on the side with dimensional tape.

To the oval i added die cut sentiment "sending hugs" you could also use a stamp.

Lastly i added some golden enamel dots for added interest.

Isn't it so simple to put together?? I am sure it is :)

That's all from me today ! I hope you liked my card.

Until next time happy crafting :)

Hey there crafty souls!

I am Anu and here I am with our MASTER CRAFTER

Hello everyone,

This is Gayatri Murali. Anu, email me about her Craft Chaos Challenge,

she conducts every year and asking me if I like to collaborate with her?

My roots are Indian and I always love to work with any opportunity that comes my way from India.

So here I am sharing my project for Anu's Craft Chaos Challenge 2019

with Something Magical as the theme.

The word magical always takes me to a magical place with fairies,

toadstools, gnomes and toadstool houses and beautiful colorful sky.

So that is what I created here with my project.

STEPS TO MAKE THIS PROJECT:

I used Simon Says Stamp's Secret Garden stamp set here.
I stamped and colored several images from the stamp set using copic markers.
Then die cut using the coordinating dies.
For the background scene, I used Clouds for Days stencil to sponge pastel distress oxide inks to create sky and grass.
I adhered the die cuts to make a scene.
I stamped the sentiment also from the stamp set on a strip of cardstock and adhered as shown.
To make it more magical I added two strips of gold glitter cardstock on top and bottom.
Finally to finish off I added a few drops of Nuvo white crystal drops.

SUPPLIES USED:

1. Neenah Solar White cardstock.

2.Gold Glitter cardstock

3. Secret Garden stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.
