\nHello!<\/div>\n
\nFor my DT post for CraftAdda<\/a> today, I am using the fabulous Diwali stamp sets from Craftangles.<\/div>\n
\nI was encouraged by my dear friend Neha Gala  who is collecting cards to send to our brave soldiers who could not go home for Diwali.<\/div>\n
\nI was pushed out of my comfort zone, but, I am really thrilled with the cards I made.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nFor this card, I started by creating a background using the large diya in the <\/div>\n
\nHappy Diwali stamp set from Craftangles.<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI heat embossed the background with Craftangles clear embossing powder<\/a>. I then blended the background using Memento  Cottage Ivy and Memento Tangelo inks<\/a>. Once blended, I flicked some water onto the background and lifted off some colour. <\/div>\n
\nI then placed a scrap sheet of paper over the panel and ironed off the embossing powder.<\/div>\n
\nI then gold embossed<\/a> the sentiment on a strip of vellum and attached it to the card panel. I used three star shaped buttons <\/a>in the tricolours as an embellishment.<\/div>\n
\nI finished the card panel by placing it on a kraft card base.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor this card, I started with stamping the fireworks stamp in the Indian tricolour on a piece of white cardstock cut with Simon Says Stamp’s stitched rectangle die<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\nI added a gold embossed<\/a> sentiment on a vellum panel and added a watercolured diya. I finished the card by placing the card panel on a kraft card base.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor this card, I started by using TimHoltz sun rays stencil <\/a>and colouring in with Memento Cottage Ivy and Tangelo inks.<\/div>\n
\nI then added a gold embossed<\/a> sentiment on vellum and a watercoloured diya. I then finished the card by placing the panel on a kraft card base.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor this card, I created a dark sky background for the very first time!!!! I am so thrilled with the way this card turned out.<\/div>\n
\nI clear embossed<\/a> the fireworks and then blended the background using memento and Tim Holtz inks<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\nI then flicked some water onto the background.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI then stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut the small diyas from <\/div>\n
\nthe Craftangles Happy Diwali stamp se<\/a>t. <\/div>\n
\nI added the tricolour panel at the bottom of the card to anchor the diyas and stamped the sentiment onto the panel.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI hope you enjoyed this post and will be inspired to create a few diwali cards of your own.<\/div>\n
\nThank you so much for stopping by…<\/div>\n
\nHave a great day!<\/div>\n
