October Leading Lady Priyadarshini Deshpande aka Piyu | Take One

To get all the information about w&w WCMD 2017 CLICK HERE.

Today is an especially exciting day as not only is it World Cardmaking Day, but also the debut of our October Leading Lady Priyasarshini Deshpande also known as Piyu!  Piyu caught my attention from the challenges she's entered and especially with this incredible project HERE from our 3rd Birthday Bash challenges.  Her numerous projects were thoughtful, playful, full of joy and color!    

I am really excited to see what Piyu will be creating this month as she takes us on an adventure of her own design on Saturdays in October on the w&w blog.

Please give Piyu a big round of applause to welcome her as she steps onto the stage for her first performance as our October Leading Lady!

Hello Friends,
This is Piyu and I am so thrilled to be here. First of all I would like to thank Shay for giving me this honor. My love for Winnie and Walter products started in 2016 with their 2nd birthday bash celebrations. I was coming back into the world of crafting after a long break and I happened to buy  the lovely W&W stamp set - In Bloom: Addie's Garden. I ended up making 7 projects with it for the challenges but also winning a 75$ voucher. Since then I have become a huge fan of W&W products and challenges.

I love using various techniques in my cards and today I am sharing 3 cards with you made using same stamp set (In a Word: Happy) but different stamping techniques.

Here is my first card - (Simple Stamping)

For this card, I stamped the tiny flowers and leaves from the In the Word: Happy stamp set onto white card stock in grey ink. Then I added the details on the flower with white and red gel pen.
I created the 3D happy sentiment by stamping the word Happy in gray ink first. Then using In a Word: Happy Coordinating Cutaways, I cut 2 "happy", one in red and another in black and adhered it together with an offset.


The black circle and the surrounding inlaid dotted ring is cut using the Big Round Balloon Cutaways.

Now my second card - (Shadow stamping)

For this card, I stamped the tiny flowers and leaves from the In the Word: Happy stamp set onto light grey card stock in white pigment ink. Then I again stamped the same images in dark grey ink with an offset. This created a shadow and light effect. Then I added details with a white gel pen. The happy sentiment is created with using In a Word: Happy Coordinating Cutaways.


The circle in the center is cut using  the Big Round Balloon Cutaways where I semi cut the balloon and adhered the Birthday sentiment stripe on it.

My third card - (Black Magic)

For this cards I stamped the tiny flowers and leaves from the In a Word: Happy stamp set onto black card stock in white pigment ink. I added the shading to the flowers and leaves using prisma colored pencils. Then finally I added a bit of interest using golden gel pen.
The happy sentiment is from In the Word: Happy stamp set. I stamped and embossed the sentiment in gold and then cut it using In a Word: Happy Coordinating Cutaways.


And here are all 3 of my cards together-

I hope you liked these cards and I have inspired you to try out these techniques.


Shay has generously donated a $30 gift card for me to give away on my blog.  For a chance to win, just leave a comment on this post and also on the leading lady post on my blog here.
