Mother's day card made using watercolor

Hi,
My today's vlog and blog is a watercolour floral card. I used loose rose and leaves on this card.  The colours used are Quinacridone Rose, Blue and grey. Rose colour is well watered down for the rough floral shape. Less watered rose colour is used for the petals. A combination of blue and grey is used to paint leaves. I hand-lettered the sentiments using a brush pen.

Please watch the video for the demo


Supplies used are
Strathmore watercolour paper 140lb
Sakura Koi watercolour 24 pan set
Royal & Langnickel Zen watercolour brush round no 4 & no 8
Blue painters tape

Fort shaped treat box.. Make your own...

Hello,
I am thinking of publishing my treat box tutorials on every thursday, on my blog and my youtube channel as well. Today i made a box which is perfect for homemade jams, cookies, pickles, etc. This is an easy make box. I have seen so many people making this box using envelope punch board. But my box doesn't require any device.
I used cardstock from Hobbylobby.

For the reference I add a template here 

with love

Popup Box card / flower bouquet card

Hello
Who doesn't like flowers? What if we can make a flower bouquet inside a card. So my today's project is a pop-up box card which is filled with flowers, grass and leaves. I made this as a thank you card. But this could serve many occasions.
I used a thick cardstock for making the box. The flowers, leaves and grass were cut using my Cricut explore1 machine
Previously I made a birthday card for a 2-year old using the same pattern but dimensions of the card was different

The box card or pop up card looks like this

 OMG I love it

This is an absolute craft that everyone should try. Though I used a cutting machine to make flowers, grass and leaves, I think it doesn't need a machine's help to cut the same.

For a little help I upload a template please have a look at that too

Don't forget to check my video for the tutorial
