\nHello!<\/div>\n
\nWelcome to the Craftangles ‘Anything goes’ challenge<\/a> this month!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter a busy Diwali month, we thought you could have fun with this simple and easy challenge.<\/div>\n
\nYou can find all the challenge details here<\/a>!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor this months challenge Im playing with the “Hello Lovely” stamp set<\/a> from Craftangles.<\/div>\n
\nI had so much fun colouring the lotuses in the set using the Craftangles liquid watercolours.<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

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

\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the first card, I started by creating a background using the newly released Craftangles <\/div>\n
\nWaves stencil<\/a> and Tim Holtz distress inks. <\/div>\n
\nThis stencil is so beautiful and look at what a beautiful background you can create with it!<\/div>\n
\nOnce coloured, I fussy cut the lotuses and adhered them to the background using 3D foam tape. I added some clear resin drops and a simple sentiment to finish the card.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the second card, I used a watercolour background that I had created some time ago, while I was making my rakhi cards. I made this background using Craftangles liquid watercolours<\/a> on Craftangles watercolour paper. I die cut the panel to size and layered it with a piece of brown cardstock. <\/div>\n
\nI then fussy cut the watercoloured lotuses and adhered them to the background using 3D foam tape. I stamped the simple sentiment here, directly onto the watercolour panel. I adhered all the panels to a white card base to finish the card.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor my next project, I decided to create the same waves stencil<\/a> background as the first card, but this time on a 4″x8″ gift envelope. I like to have these around to give cash gifts, especially during the festive season. <\/div>\n
\nThe spots you see are the Craftangles silver watercolour paint<\/a>…it is so pretty..unfortunately it does not photograph well.<\/div>\n
\nI attempted a no line colouring technique for the lotuses, with some success. I also made a matching flat card to go into the envelope, so that I could write my greetings on the card and not spoil the outside of the envelope. This way, the person I gift the envelope to can reuse it.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMy last project is another gift envelope..same lotuses, different look. Here I created interest with the die cut circle and ink splatters.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I enjoyed making them.<\/div>\n
\nI’d love to hear what you think.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI also hope that you have been inspired to play along with the Craftangles ‘Anything goes’<\/a> challenge!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThanks so much for stopping by..<\/div>\n
\nHave a great day!<\/div>\n
