Hello,

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I made three cards using Fred she said African Violet images.

She has some beautiful images, and the beauty is that you can buy them recolored or black and white. I used only the black and white as i like to color my own.

The background was done with distress oxides and then some splatters of water. I colored the image with zig color pens, let it dry, fussy cut and raised it on the card. Added sequins. This was a quick and easy card. The sentiment is from MFT stamps and added twine to finish the card. Popped the panel on a card base.

The second card uses the same images but I used the single flower instead.

I took a sheet of paper, first added the leaves and clear embossed it. Then added distress oxides over it. I cut the sheet diagonally so I made two cards out of it. I aligned where i wanted the flowers to go and added little leaves and colored them with comic markers. The leaves are from Hero Arts stamp. The flowers were colored with Zig pens and then for two of them i added glossy accents. Once all dry I added them to the card. The diagonal pice was popped up and then the flowers were added. Added a sentiment on the top corner and added some sequins.

The third card uses the other part of the diagonal sheet. Used Fred she said African Violets again.

A similar layout as the first one, just alternated the side. Colored the flowers with zig clean color pens and added glossy accents to one of the flower.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Hello Everyone,

I have been making cards and not blogging about them. I made two cards especially for someone who had a loss, I ended up giving her another card. This one I also made with Kathyrac’s coloring contest in mind. I started with the background, I used distress oxides- twisted citron, picked raspberry and little I believe wild honey. I sprayed water and picked them with a tissue. I diecut a branch from an old MFT die, it had two little birds on it that i snipped off. I colored the bird from Stampendous, it is one of their mini stamps. I stamped the flower bunch many times and colored those with zig clean color brush pens. I colored the branch with some dark brown ink. I then cut the bunches to have a single or a double flower. I added everything with liquid glue. I added highlights with a white gel pen and some glossy accents on the flowers. I added tiny green leaves on the branches.I added a sentiment from an mft stamp. A few nuvo drops completed the card.

I am entering this in Kathy Rac coloring contest as a beginner. I only dabble with colors.

Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comments.

Hello everyone

Here is the third part of 2017 cards.

I do keep my instagram account active, the handle is zehrarosebest.

The first set of cards:

I love the rose from mft stamps. it is a good layering rose and a beauty by itself, I used mft inks and added rajnichawla crystals to make it shine. This is an mft sentiment. I have added glossy accents all over. The next card i used an acrylic block and added different distress oxide inks over it, sprayed water and stamped that. Once it was dry I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment as it took at least three attempts to make it dark and crisp. The rose soap has rose clay and is so soothing. It is made with olive, palm and coconut oil. It has shea butter, castor oil and sweet almond oil to fatten them.

This card was so much fun to do. The card was stamped with an mft background stamp with versa mark ink and then embossed it with ranger gold embossing powder. I love the shirt die as it is a perfect focal point. I stamped an old mft flourish and added a birthday stamp, all using mft electric red ink. and the inside has the flourish

This set is colorful and I love this stamps. The roses are from mft, the lily is from Altenew. I used both mft and altenew inks here. On the roses I embossed the sentiment and on the lily I just stamped over the lily. I also added stickles and sequins for the final touch. The lavender soap has lavender buds and smells heavenly. The essential oils and the ingredients helps soothe the skin.

The set above was cool to do. The first was stenciled with tim holtz stencil with distress oxide inks and then the sentiment was stamped. The butterflies are from mft and then stickles were spread on it. For the second card i stamped the hero arts flower, masked it and added leaves. After i colored it with zig clean color pens I added a sentiment. I added glossy accents on the center of the flower and popped a ladybug on it with glossy accents on the top. I added a simple sentiment to it.

The lip balms are awesome. They have cocoa butter, castor oil, sweet almond oil and beeswax. The bubblegum flavor is loved by many.

The set below was quick cards to do. The first one was all mft dies layered over one another and then the sentiment stamped just before i adhered the leaves. I added a few gems. for the second card it was all embossed snowflakes from mft. And then embossed with versa mark ink and different embossing powders. i added a four layer sentiment. I cute it from three white card stock pieces and one on the top in pink.

The lip balms are Pina colada.

The above cards were from mft stamps. The first one is just layering of stamps and mixed leaves from another stamp. I added a ribbon and the sentiment at the bottom. I added some rajnichawla crystals. For the second card i masked the center and then stamped the flowers on both sides. I colored them with gel pens. I added glossy accents and a twine for the final touch.

The soaps are 1 oz. They come in 1oz, 4oz and 1 pound size.

The last card for this post was for a birthday.

This was just stenciling with distress inks. I added a sentiment and some small stars and confetti in black ink. I added some novo drops since this was for a male.

Have you seen my soaps or lip balms, the body butters are awesome.

Here is a card I made using the same die from spellbinders amazing grace, but coloring the die and adding heartfelt creations flowers to it. Love this sentiment from Altenew.

I decided to make some mini cards and loved how they turned out, they were all done to say Thank you to my customers for their orders.
There were so many products used for these. mft stamps, distress inks, honeybee lotus stamp, zig clean color pens, stencils and flower dies. These were quick and fun to do. This lavender soap is so soothing and it has lavender buds that give u the perfect exfoliation.

Hello everyone

Here are five more cards- all were made for various reasons.

If you have not been to fredshesaid designs- do visit them, Tracie has some beautiful images- both colored and black and white, she also has cut files.

I prefer using black and white and coloring on my own so that is what I did with this card.

I watercolored the flowers and butterfly. i handcuff all the images. The background paper is also from Fredshesaid.

This next image was bought from a fair. love the artist work.

It was one I could not resist buying.

Here is a card using lots of medium.
This was done with a new die from whimsy stamps- it was with Bev Rochester– her blog is worth watching and she has tons of inspiration with this die.

This card was also inspired by the gift that went with the card

Here is another birthday card

I used fredshesaid images on this one too.

Here are two cards my daughter made with mini lawn fawn images.

I love her style, these were end of the year teacher cards that she added to their gifts.

My daughter, niece and me went to a rock design class, this is the same person I bought the tile from. loved the class and the results.

Here is the last cards I made using Tim Holtz mini flowers and distress oxide inks.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the cards.

Hello everyone

It has been a long time since I posted here. You can always see my cards on my Instagram handle zehra/rosebest

I got some new distress oxides and i thought i would play with them for a card I made.

It was lot of fun. I started with distress oxides – candied apple and then picked raspberry, seedless preserves and broken china. I sprayed a little water and blotted it with a towel. I will say that is a look I love on others cards but find it hard to continue with mine, so I went back and added more color on the top. Added a bow. Colored the MFT die flowers with he same colors and added to the card with a sentiment on the rectangle. Added a few dew drops and spectrum noir pen for shimmer.

Please watch my next post it will have lots of cards that i have made but not posted.

I am adding this to Brown sugar, Crafting with Friends, Creative fingers and Polka doodles crafting challenge, theme for all is anything goes.

Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comments.

By the way we have a new lip balm- grape.
