Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great week so far. And, we are here to make it even better – with Instagram hop and prizes to be won celebrating our latest release ‘Fun Times’ for October 2022 🙂

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, please do so here. I would love to welcome you in our little tribe. We do share lots more inspiration (and entertainment) over there, than we do here on the blog alone. It’s a fun place to be and yes, every month we have giveaways too 🙂

I created a diwali card for this hop with our Water Lilies stamp set:

Key Ingredients:

1. Water Lilies (on VaradaSharma.com | on Etsy.com)
2. Decofoil Gold Oro foil
3. Copic markers – yellows (Y15, Y19, Y35), pinks (RV02, RV04, RV09, RV11), and greens(G07, G12, G24).
4. Spellbinders Picot Petite Rectangles Etched Dies
5. Distress inks Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot

Steps:

1. Use MS PowerPoint to arrange a design that can be sized within 3×6 inches.
2. Print with a laser printer on Hammermill paper.
3. Foil using a laminator with decofoil Gold Oro foil and color with Copics.
4. Die cut with the second largest rectangle from Picot Petite Rectangle dies from Spellbinders.
5. Create an A2 cardbase with textured blue cardstock and add ink on the edges with Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot inks.
6. Mount the rectangle with craft foam, add a sentiment and finish off with some bling.

Done 🙂
