Not 2.. but 4 Christmas Cards!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hello everybody,<br />
After a cyclone in south India, weather in Bangalore also has become very cold. Its raining for past two days and temperature has come down. I was feeling very sleepy whole day but I had done only sleeping yesterday. Lol. So I geared up and thought of making a Christmas card. I made one and then another and then another and made 4 in total.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5_bEeUDk518AS6_dqxY-D7bQ5I9aOoso87-X_1DEGZoazG8AQGKhGrbdkYcuvg30kg_BCfD1fGH-xf1w2KbZeHLOi-8njRp0HrykY9o0MkPPF5pupg5sY9jTJkW-EsbZKlYHocPVcmPq/s1600/IMG_0380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5_bEeUDk518AS6_dqxY-D7bQ5I9aOoso87-X_1DEGZoazG8AQGKhGrbdkYcuvg30kg_BCfD1fGH-xf1w2KbZeHLOi-8njRp0HrykY9o0MkPPF5pupg5sY9jTJkW-EsbZKlYHocPVcmPq/s640/IMG_0380.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I made this card first. And I liked it so much that I started making another immediately :) I just love kraft and white and it was on my mind for so long to try this combination. I stamped that Christmas tree, sentiment and those lights with vintage sepia Versafine ink and then added some details with white gel pen to depict the snow. Tree and lights are from Jingle bells stamp set and sentiment is from Santa and friends stamp set from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mudrastamps/">Mudra</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And Now I present my second card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkVQrxyZpP4UHhnMH8Afsoz6pmVzSBaB0kIenEdWJv4n8wcpz5epLIQiD20V83ugojfVlwqO5JKFw0uykqlt_2Kk0eoyOE4nfw4fm1v8wrwRNix4AK8PYL7ZjQxdJ9tFQ9T97U-s1zadE/s1600/IMG_0385.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkVQrxyZpP4UHhnMH8Afsoz6pmVzSBaB0kIenEdWJv4n8wcpz5epLIQiD20V83ugojfVlwqO5JKFw0uykqlt_2Kk0eoyOE4nfw4fm1v8wrwRNix4AK8PYL7ZjQxdJ9tFQ9T97U-s1zadE/s640/IMG_0385.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used almost same technique as earlier card to make this card as well. Only I used white colour pencil to colour those beautiful bells because white gel pen would have been too much white pigment for those bells.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Both bells and sentiment are from Jingle bells stamp set from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mudrastamps/">Mudra</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now I come to my third card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUU7s3sBYvBi-nL84F4Z808Gc90L1nxtE4zP_lXHSMH5BV4CtyGZ_QYfcgZYjgDjaBvs61ymQwtqGJ6OEVT8QpWHxkx1Pvus1OfsDJNomCcei8Mydg2TqKMWcS8FflKYBAkp4NSU-OOBP/s1600/IMG_0388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUU7s3sBYvBi-nL84F4Z808Gc90L1nxtE4zP_lXHSMH5BV4CtyGZ_QYfcgZYjgDjaBvs61ymQwtqGJ6OEVT8QpWHxkx1Pvus1OfsDJNomCcei8Mydg2TqKMWcS8FflKYBAkp4NSU-OOBP/s640/IMG_0388.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I stamped those poinsettias and sentiment with vintage sepia and added details with white get pen. I drew outlines for poinsettias and added some white dots as well. And while doing this I started thinking that the earlier look of the card without white details was also not bad.. In fact I thought it was better. So I did 4th card without white details :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFhAjXxqHVwtlI68GV3iVoRBGJ2zX-L1W5pD-qJdKNqS4O8KjSpfSID-Uk3vRolMGJPyBxivs28jufmbIKNo1PL6xi059WEGS3fntOdMYZAQMFMjMgZKaJXEqrWpYM-4mgEARbI6OOY5W/s1600/IMG_0382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFhAjXxqHVwtlI68GV3iVoRBGJ2zX-L1W5pD-qJdKNqS4O8KjSpfSID-Uk3vRolMGJPyBxivs28jufmbIKNo1PL6xi059WEGS3fntOdMYZAQMFMjMgZKaJXEqrWpYM-4mgEARbI6OOY5W/s640/IMG_0382.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In this version I just added little white colour at the centre of poinsettias with colour pencil. What do you think? Which version do you like better? Please let me know in comments :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I enjoyed so much making these cards and I hope you too like them.</div>

Hi everybody,<br />
Today I am here with a brand new card which I made for <a href="http://altenewblog.com/2016/11/01/november-2016-inspiration-challenge/">Altenew's November Inspiration challenge</a>. The inspiration picture was so tempting, even after being quite busy these days I couldn't resist playing.<br />
Please have a look at the inspiration picture..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
And I came up with this card<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I had put some Gansai Tambi starry night water colors over flowers and they looked so pretty with that light shimmer. But because of this my card was reflecting the light so I had to take picture in one more orientation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihYnbUZMIUhEFKWyw3b97bGfolwu8rz8qDttyn8tjrZE7_DZ3_wOwbBXWZqq0k1Q_Yv4O_C2z861f6cSkKPBbv-4nnjq0JZA_q_YagCweNS1_w7v-ybamLP2cz-3SKafsIjjjjB3fHuQvd/s1600/IMG_0230.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihYnbUZMIUhEFKWyw3b97bGfolwu8rz8qDttyn8tjrZE7_DZ3_wOwbBXWZqq0k1Q_Yv4O_C2z861f6cSkKPBbv-4nnjq0JZA_q_YagCweNS1_w7v-ybamLP2cz-3SKafsIjjjjB3fHuQvd/s640/IMG_0230.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For making this card I first created the background of bluish green colour with the distress inks. I used evergreen bough and mowed lawn colours. Second step was to create bokeh effect as in inspiration picture. I used my Hero arts unicorn white pigment ink and sponged it over handmade circle stencil. ( I die cut different size of circles out of a OHP sheet)<br />
Once background was ready, I stamped flowers from wild hibiscus stamp set. and then coloured them using Tombow dual brush markers. To give a 3D effect in flowers I put I glued one set of them on the prepared background and glued partially the second copy on them. If you notice left flower you can make that out. :)<br />
I also spluttered some Gansai Tambi gold water colour it just enhanced the beauty of the card beautifully :) I also put a very light coat of this shimmery gold on flowers as well just to make them even more prettier.<br />
I tied a red twine and stamped the sentiment on a stripe of card stock which was also my card base's colour.<br />
And finally I foam mounted the card panel on the card base. And Ta da.. My card was ready!!<br />
I hope you like the card<br />
please let me know your feedback in comments<br />

I have used "Incognito" stamp set and "Glasses" dies from Paper Smooches in this card. The background has been made with first heat embossing the glasses in white. Then I sponged tumbled glass distress ink to give it a more of masculine look. <br />
The sentiment was stamped on vellum to give the card a very subtle look. And I used pink glasses with blue frame joust to increase the interest.<br />
Hope you like it :)<br />
Love and hugs<br />

Hi friends,<br />
I am back from a long break and today I made this card for one of my cousin for her marriage anniversary :)<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The word "Love" is heat embossed and distressed with festive berries distress ink. Sentiment is stamped in black Versafine ink. Both "love" and "happy anniversary" are from Good Gab stamp set from Paper Smooches. Those fish tail banners have been made with scraps of pattern papers and held by a heart shaped brad. Quite easy huh!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Hope my cousin likes it and you too.</div>

Hey people,<br />
I am here with a quick post. The inspiration picture of current Inspiration Challenge of Altenew is so colourful that I instantly thought of participating. I had only one day at hand and I came up with this card :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I liked so much those blue and green washi tapes that I created whole card on that colour theme. This beautiful layered flower is Daisy stamp set from Altenew. "Best mom in the world" sentiment is from Wild Hibiscus stamp set also from Altenew. :) Other than stamping there is some inking to create that green border.</div>

Hi creatives,<br />
I am back from my holidays and I feel so relaxed. I must say I misses crafting :) Today I am here with a card which is inspired from an inspiration board at <a href="http://craftymilka.blogspot.in/2016/04/daisies-card-ilovemathchallenge1.html" target="_blank">I love math challenge #1</a>. Maths being my favourite subject I wanted to play along as soon as I saw this challenge.<br />
The inspiration board is quite interesting<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I just hope that its easily understandable :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I had to use some circular shape so Venn diagram were only choice I could think of to incorporate that shape mathematically. And after lot of brain storming I thought I will show the union operation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used "<" + "3" = <3 (heart)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Second, I had to use positive negative effect. I had a hard time understanding it :) so I used masking and stamping to give that effect. I first stamped the "<" in black ink through mask and then sponged yellow ink. Next, I put a acetate over this circle and stamped the "<" again with yellow ink. I hope you are getting me. Same process was followed in all three parts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used yellow and red in first two circles and then orange in third to show their union ( red+yellow=orange) :) It also fulfilled the third requirement of challenge( yellow and orange colours)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next, I stamped the sentiment on a card base and adhered the trimmed focal point with foam tapes to add some dimensions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And that completes my card for today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am linking this card to following challenges</div>

Hello people,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy new year !! And here comes my first post of 2016. I was asked by a friend to design a card as a gift for her sister, congratulating her on her new home. And I came up with this card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORDHlBSseuIBH-xlg-9jQniUe8D00hOaAy11ZM67XT_UMU6pen54x9_TTPzS46MLaAe_vpZg-I49t0RYeHhqIKnZBrEZTC_kD9yq_mgKGF-GTMRRuddDKcRFOecIVg6ezebNY7C8I8fec/s1600/IMG_2185.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORDHlBSseuIBH-xlg-9jQniUe8D00hOaAy11ZM67XT_UMU6pen54x9_TTPzS46MLaAe_vpZg-I49t0RYeHhqIKnZBrEZTC_kD9yq_mgKGF-GTMRRuddDKcRFOecIVg6ezebNY7C8I8fec/s320/IMG_2185.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes its a shaker card !!Initially I didn't have any idea what I was going to make but it turned out really well. I have had <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/polka-dot-parade-10-mini-stamp-set/" target="_blank">this</a> mini stamp set from Papertrey ink for so long but never got to use it. It is so apt for this occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In India when people buy a new house they usually organize a Pooja (Worshipping God) before starting to live in it. That's why I chose these traditional colours (shade of saffron and reddish pink).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The house image is stamped with Avery elle inks Fizz and Raspberry and then fussy cut. Ashley's fussy cutting tips came really handy. you can check out her video <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2015/05/make-it-monday-212-fussy-cutting-tips.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The sentiment is stamped with black archival ink. And to provide the matting of matching colours I actually smooshed the Fizz and Raspberry ink pads on the edges of mats. And They looked really cool.<br />
I just looveed it!! hope you also like it.<br />

Hello People,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My today's card is inspired by the colour combination of this beautiful outfit by Tory Burch for <a href="http://runwayinspired.blogspot.in/2015/12/ric97-tory-burch.html" target="_blank">ric #97 .</a></div>

I was always fascinated to this not so common colour combo whenever I saw it. But never gave it a try ( I don't know why...). Thanks to <a href="http://runwayinspired.blogspot.in/2015/12/ric97-tory-burch.html" target="_blank">ric# 97</a> who made me to try this And I came up with this card</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You must be wondering why have I posted two photographs with slight difference. Well, I was not able to decide which one is better. LOlz.. So How do you find it. I really liked the overall design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Along with this colour combination there is one more thing which I used in this card after so much delay. That is <a href="http://altenew.com/products/vintage-roses" target="_blank">Vintage roses stamp set from Altenew</a>. I had got this stamp set 2 months ago but kinda resisted using it. May be I was not confident enough of layered stamping. So these orange coloured roses are my first try at Vintage roses. I know they could have been better...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The background was super fun to make. I had lot of blue squares left over from polaroid die so I just stuck them over a piece of white card stock 1/2" smaller than white card base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Stamped roses and fussy cut them. I stamped the sentiment (Cas-ual Fridays) on a oval die cut in versamark and white heat embossed it. I also sponged the edges of this oval to add some depth.I had few negatives of candle die so used it as mask and sponged some ink to make candles. Don't they look pretty??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So when almost all elements were ready I assembled the card. First took a blue card stock 1/4" smaller than card base and adhered the tiled background on it. Arranged the roses, adhered them as well in desired fashion and foam mounted the sentiment oval. And finally foam mounted this complete assembly on card base. The pictures are bit flat. May be you can observe the layers in following picture.</div>

The colour combination is so tempting that I could not resist myself from giving it a try. And I came up with this card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8cnRWjiJCcdbD6kENBMeBGq4_qF6l2rlyBupXIyJ4uFnUnb9W5ni5OOdlJptO9pqqh1r0ED0UzlIf2RJoECfqcKCDTqzNwWYElcHRi80f-Rli-U5SMvQlrufmYh9tIGjotPSchrduOIB1/s1600/IMG_1989-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8cnRWjiJCcdbD6kENBMeBGq4_qF6l2rlyBupXIyJ4uFnUnb9W5ni5OOdlJptO9pqqh1r0ED0UzlIf2RJoECfqcKCDTqzNwWYElcHRi80f-Rli-U5SMvQlrufmYh9tIGjotPSchrduOIB1/s320/IMG_1989-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I went for a layered yet simple card. The purple glittery border, snowflakes embossed background , a flourish and a beautiful sentiment were the ingredients in my card recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
From the first look on this photo inspiration I thought of a purple glittery washi tape in my stash. This is a light shade washi tape with very subtle glitter in it. I put this on all four sides of a card stock (1/4 ") smaller than card base and my first layer was ready!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I took another half inch smaller card stock and dry embossed the snowflake background. To match it with purple colour scheme I sponged dusty concord distress ink very lightly over it. Next I die cut a flourish from white card stock and sponged it with dusty concord in a darker shade and glued it on snowflake background. Thus, second layer was ready. Both these layers were foam mounted on card base. I stamped the sentiment on a white stripe and adhered it with foam tape in just centre and glue on both ends. Which gave it a look of raised banner. So my card was ready!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

This card has lot of layers, stamping and inking. I started with a white card stock and stamped the florals from Altenew <a href="http://altenew.com/products/lacy-scrolls" target="_blank">lacy scrolls</a> with purple pigment ink and clear heat embossed it. Next, stamped the leaves from same stamp set and white heat embossed them. Then I sponged lot of chipped sapphire and black soot distress inks and sprayed some water on it. Water droplets were pat dried with tissue paper to add an artistic look. Lolz. After drying it cut out a quadrilateral out of it and kept aside. Took another white card stock and sponged some seedless preserved through falling heart stencil (Simon says stamp) and foam mounted it on card base. Further I stick the ready panel on in. I heat embossed the main sentiment (penny Black) on a black circular die cut and stamped the supporting sentiment (Mama Elephant) on a stripe of white paper. Took some silver thread, made a lot of loops and put them behind black circle ( which I cut at bottom :P) and adhered it to card. Then adhered the supporting sentiment stripe and my card was DONE!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you all are doing well!! Since today was a busy day and I really need some sleep; this post is short. This card is one of my commissioned work and involves lot of stamping, embossing,inking and fussy cutting. I will share the picture of envelope as well because like me you may also love envelope more than card.. Lol. So have a look at the card first :)</div>

One of the sentiment and high heel shoe stamps are from hero arts. Happy Birthday stamp is from paper smooches and other pretty party accessories including cake are digis. Shoe and dress are colored with Victorian Velvet distress ink. Every thing is fussy cut and sentiments are stamped on vellum so that the pink theme is not disturbed. Background is embossed half in white and half in pink. I am in so much love with this new pink embossing powder from Wow.Card has 4 layers and its a two fold card as you can see below</div>

Hey crafters,<br />
Hope you all are doing well. I am back with one more card after a long time. Actually I was engaged in some commissioned work. Diwali is around the corner and is the most celebrated festival in north India. Its a 5 days celebration where fifth day is for brothers and sisters. Its called Bhaidooj. One of my client wanted a card for her brother and she didnt want simply "Happy Bhaidooj" written on it. She wanted some meaningful general message and hence I came up with this card. I always reach out to blue whenever I design a masculine card :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I just loved the outcome. The combination of gold, blue, black and white turned out just magical. my client also loved it at first sight. Well here are the steps I followed:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 1: I took a piece of white card stock 1/4 inch smaller than card base and sponged tumbled glass distress ink over it through a chevron patterned stencil from Heidi Swapp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 2: I sponged salty ocean distress ink around the edges of the same piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step3: I took another piece of card stock, cut a quadrilateral with craft knife and stamped the <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/charming" target="_blank">floral pattern</a>(penny black) on it with versamark ink. Next, I heat embossed it with golden embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 4: I sponged this piece with salty ocean and peacock feathers heavily and adhered it to the chevron patterned card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 5: I die cut a circle out of black card stock and white heat embossed the sentiment on it from my brand new <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/special-wishes" target="_blank">stamp set </a>from penny Black. And at this point my presence of mind came handy ..LOl I remembered about <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=327030" target="_blank">this stamp set</a> from mama elephant and this sentiment went very well with the main sentiment. So I cut one part of the circle to make its bottom flat and stamped the sentiment directly to the chevron card stock according to planned arrangement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 6: I made some loops with silver twine, put them on card stock and adhered the sentiment on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 7: I provided fun foam backing to whole panel and mounted it on white card stock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And my card was ready.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Hope you like it.</div>

Hello creative people,<br />
<br />
Today I am here with a layered and heavily embellished card. A client of mine wanted to give a very masculine card to his boyfriend and I came up with this<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimDtJxxJKUsnh4n8fE3lwRBJu13fPO622xI0eiO_kNM9qnJG05_jS8XOqYZjGghWSaLKuX79H9sBQ-eoMBiaq2278Tm6dlOAzVTnPWMMAwJXe1JdM_d8CWyW6sqoEuT69zbMVXP4RhvLnS/s1600/IMG_0012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimDtJxxJKUsnh4n8fE3lwRBJu13fPO622xI0eiO_kNM9qnJG05_jS8XOqYZjGghWSaLKuX79H9sBQ-eoMBiaq2278Tm6dlOAzVTnPWMMAwJXe1JdM_d8CWyW6sqoEuT69zbMVXP4RhvLnS/s320/IMG_0012.jpg" width="306" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I thought of every element which was associated with birthday party and was in the liking domain of a boy. Lol.. And then took out all relevant supplies as <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/boy-basics-rock-on-mini-stamp-set/" target="_blank">guitar stamp </a>and<a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/pti-dies/papertrey-ink-propose-a-toast-die/" target="_blank"> propose a toast die</a> from PTI, <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Glasses_Dies_p/ded-14-182.htm" target="_blank">glasses die</a> from Paper Smooches, <a href="http://mftstamps.com/die-namics-headphones" target="_blank">headphone die </a>from MFT, and <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=314466" target="_blank">sketch heart Die</a> from SSS (after all this card was for BF ). The sentiment in the card is from <a href="http://mftstamps.com/keep-on-rockin" target="_blank">Keep on Rockin' </a>stamp set from MFT. And here goes the process:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 1: I chose some grey card stock for card base as well as layers. I took a grey card stock 1/4"smaller than card base and put black glitter washi tape on all four sides. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 2: I took another card stock 1/2" inch smaller than card base and stamped some script from 2-3 different stamps in versamark and heat embossed it with charcoal embossing powder. To make this grey color darker I sponged some black soot distress ink over it. It made such a subtle and attractive background that you can possibly appreciate it to full when you look it in person.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 3: I took a stripe of black card stock and stamped the sentiment with versafine and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. ThenI cut fish tails in this stripe on both ends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 4: I stamped guitar with black archival ink and fussy cut it, die cut two wine glasses (one in sparkling silver and one in red). I also die cut headphone, glasses and sketch heart. To make heart more attractive I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 5: I tried different arrangements and settled for the one showed in picture and glued every thing at their respective places. Guitar and one wine glass were foam mounted to give some extra dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Step 6: While assembling I first sponged some black soon on card base to match the color and then I foam mounted the card stock with washi tape border on it and then glued the top layer with embellishment on it. The washi tape provided very charming as well as sparkling border.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And this completes it. My client is super happy. Hope you also like it.</div>

Hii,<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its weekend here already an we have to attend a family function as well. So this post will be really quick. This weeks the inspiration picture of <a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com/2015/10/october-11-17-picture-perfect-challenge.html" target="_blank">Paper Smooches Sparks Picture perfect challenge</a> is so pretty. You can have a look at it.</div>

It made me think of fall theme going everywhere on blogs but in India we don't celebrate fall really. October is packed with lot of festivals but they are mostly associated with lord Rama. I said its goig to be a quick post right? Lol..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So I came up with this card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have lot of Paper Smooches stamp sets but lately I have fallen with digi stamps so thought of using one from <a href="http://papersmooches.blogspot.in/p/free-digi-stamps.html" target="_blank">Paper Smooches free digi stamps</a>. I printed these cute leaves in two sizes on water color paper and colored them with distress inks ( picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, festive berries and mustard seed) and fussy ,s them. I know it was a lot to do but I enjoyed it and leaves too look really cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next, I took a water color paper 1/4" smaller than my card base and generously painted it with water. Once it was completely wet I started painting with weathered wood and black suit inks. I dried it and sprinkled some ink with brush over it and thus my background was ready. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I stamped the sentiment in the middle and foam mounted the panel over card base. Then assemble the leaves around the sentiment. And to express the emotion visually I left the pattern incomplete. Hope,I am making sense :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That completes my card for today.</div>

Hello Creatives!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://runwayinspired.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Runway Inspired Challenge</a> is one of my favourite challenges and I am really glad that I am participating in this time. The inspiration picture; the costume designed by Emilio de la Morena is really cool. Haven't you seen it? No problem. Here it is..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0TqryPGcCtLWZTGUJBxGEnQp0KYvdPxr2vuq5_pjqvAw82jxSfSVobLIJM-0jl78m5qO4QB5FtijR8BpYhkPwUG55rAUwGIoBYeeeqxEhTIQIfWa2lX1MqZFk_m5YkoZujxvq_scJb5AA/s1600/18e1001a39c4f3ec301729cea507ca8e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0TqryPGcCtLWZTGUJBxGEnQp0KYvdPxr2vuq5_pjqvAw82jxSfSVobLIJM-0jl78m5qO4QB5FtijR8BpYhkPwUG55rAUwGIoBYeeeqxEhTIQIfWa2lX1MqZFk_m5YkoZujxvq_scJb5AA/s1600/18e1001a39c4f3ec301729cea507ca8e.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
And after looking at it lot of times I came up with this card<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ul156rH00DLgV93cQ_TEtzK_RxjdqUL5TIASQ8jkKZurjufY6agRoGfv3ywCrRQ_mpoYYjFJanEV9KJvk03zx43r73BFUfwOwI4QpT58bjcOw7pGHdKICO5KlG8sMF9dBM6URN8CpS5p/s1600/IMG_0021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ul156rH00DLgV93cQ_TEtzK_RxjdqUL5TIASQ8jkKZurjufY6agRoGfv3ywCrRQ_mpoYYjFJanEV9KJvk03zx43r73BFUfwOwI4QpT58bjcOw7pGHdKICO5KlG8sMF9dBM6URN8CpS5p/s320/IMG_0021.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got my inspiration in this fabulous color combination. And This may sound funny but I started designing this card around the sentiment. I have recently bought <a href="http://www.jillibean-soup.com/retail/index.php?route=product/product&path=45&product_id=1154" target="_blank">this </a>beautiful Jillibean soup stamp set and wanted to use it desperately.So following are the steps I followed to make this card:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 1</b>: I tool a white card base 1/4" smaller than card base and dry embossed with the very relevant embossing folder (Darice Dress form small.Thank God I had it in my stash.) and then sponged it with salty ocean distress ink.<br />
<b>Step 2</b>: I cut a 2' wide vellum stripe and stamped the sentiment in onyx black versafine ink and clear heat embossed it to prevent smudging.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 3</b>: This step was most difficult one.I wanted to embellish this card with same color combination as that of skirt of the model. It had many colors as blue, pink, purple, yellow green etc. To convert that thought into reality my Avery Elle Laurels stamp set and dies came to rescue. I pulled out all my inkpads and tried many combination to achieve same kinda color combination. And when I was happy with the result I diecut them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 4</b>: I started assembling the card by first sticking the vellum stripe to the dry embossed panel and foam mounting it over the card base. Just to give the look as if vellum stripe is held by brads I put two enamel dots on either sides of sentiment :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 5</b>: I arranged the flowers and leaves symmetrical and when I was happy with the arrangement I glued them, added a clear wink of stella over them and card was ready!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am really happy that this card is also eligible for Cas-ual Friday's <a href="http://cas-ualchic.blogspot.in/2015/10/ccc04.html" target="_blank">Cas-ual Chic challenge #04</a> as well. I am going for third row (Distressing, sparkling and embossing)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you like the card as much as I enjoyed it making :) Do let me know !!</div>

Hello people,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parul here.. As soon as I saw the ongoing <a href="http://sparkleandshinechallenge.blogspot.in/2015/10/sparkle-shine-challenge-fifteen.html" target="_blank">Sparkle and Shine challenge</a>,the first thing which came to my mind was RAINBOW. So I thought of using my<a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Rainbow_Dies_p/fbd-14-124.htm" target="_blank"> rainbow die</a> from Paper Smooches, I was dying to use since I had bought it. My today's card started with the rainbow and looked like following after completion..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuuGHj5bqcsfRaV6Te1RR8t41WS957feg-fv4YpoFSEnRPXPPCACrnV8pm2M1b0IPBM3gaL9hRiBCjjtGMFPw7IG4edLB6_OigZhfz8bXaQH5iZM898PlWgozqMhjQgw8DlYvTH5FBnFlo/s1600/IMG_0006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuuGHj5bqcsfRaV6Te1RR8t41WS957feg-fv4YpoFSEnRPXPPCACrnV8pm2M1b0IPBM3gaL9hRiBCjjtGMFPw7IG4edLB6_OigZhfz8bXaQH5iZM898PlWgozqMhjQgw8DlYvTH5FBnFlo/s320/IMG_0006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This card turn out very pretty and I decided to gift it to one of my crafty friend. I hope she likes it. Layout wise this card is inspired by very talented crafter Neha's <a href="http://periwinkle-creations.blogspot.in/2014/12/christmas-magic.html" target="_blank">this</a> card. I always wanted to make something like that :)<br />
I have decided to write out the complete method in steps from now onwards. Following are the steps I took to make this card:<br />
Step 1 I die cut the rainbow and sponged the distress inks on stripes in various colors as in rainbow.<br />
Step 2 I took a card stock 1/4" smaller than card base and die cut the largest label from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Spellbinders-Nestabilities-Mega-Dies-Labels/dp/B0044D5504" target="_blank">spellbinders label 17 die</a> and sponged the negative with tumbled glass and salty ocean distress inks.<br />
Step 3 I took a white card base and marked the outer edge of label negative with pencil and sponged salty ocean distress ink on rain drops stencil, within the marked area.<br />
Step 4 I stamped this beautiful sentiment from Wplus9 <a href="http://www.wplus9.com/guiding-light-sentiments/" target="_blank">Guiding light sentiment</a> with black versafine ink within the marked area at desired place adhered the rainbow strips as per my plan. <br />
Step 5 I took some dark blue card stock cut the 2 die cuts with <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=102206" target="_blank">Memory box cityscape die</a> and adhered one die cut at the bottom of marked area and foam mounted some parts of second die-cut upon it. It added some dimensions to the buildings. Here is the closer look:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9LrfRlQILmEWXcLXAXA2uZ8UcLpQWDGWBDCKH5iXUDcAE4TyV_qot6iHJ6eP3Ux78buIMUrn7szLIbCa0yYxlaIL2B1nX8RGWvzk0ScylovidvDsH1ec5vdJPtBZPnDxe6xh5JQEL3DFz/s1600/IMG_0005-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9LrfRlQILmEWXcLXAXA2uZ8UcLpQWDGWBDCKH5iXUDcAE4TyV_qot6iHJ6eP3Ux78buIMUrn7szLIbCa0yYxlaIL2B1nX8RGWvzk0ScylovidvDsH1ec5vdJPtBZPnDxe6xh5JQEL3DFz/s320/IMG_0005-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 6 At last, I foam mounted the negative die cut panel and that completes my card for today.One more picture is as following:<br />

Second post for the day. Is it true?? I think I need to pinch myself and check if I am daydreaming. Lol.. Considering my irregular blogging, writing two posts a day is something I need to do a reality check upon..Well, lately I have been in love with digital stamps. I discovered about digis recently and was amazed to see how much possibilities they have in terms of size variation and coloring ( no need to worry about bleeding ink :P). And the credit goes to <a href="http://vibgyorkrafts.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Erum Tasneem</a>. Her work with digis is a real treat for eyes..<br />
My today's card also uses a bear digi from <a href="http://beccysplace.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Beccy </a>. The expressions of this bear are so beautiful and I thought it will make a great sorry card. And here it is..<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My card is somewhat inspired by DT Erum Tasneem's card on<a href="http://liastampz.blogspot.in/2015/10/challenge-93-animals.html" target="_blank"> Lia Stampz challenge blog</a>. This time challenge is all about Animals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First of all, I colored the bear with Faber Castel sketch pens and fussy cut it. Then to prepare the background I smooshed evergreen bough, salty ocean and peacock feathers distress inks on my craft mat and sprayed some water and kept a water color paper on it. Dried it with heat gun and again put on puddle of inks. Repeated it till I got the desired result. Next step was to make the frame. I put two MFT inside out rectangular dies on white card stock and ran it through my Bigshot. I sponged this frame heavily with evergreen bough distress ink. So now background, frame and bear were ready I went ahead with sentiment. I designed this sentiment ( there was no designing actually.. LOL) in Microsoft Word and printed it. I then cut it with a speech bubble die. Just to add some interest I also die cut some more bubbles from scrap papers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To assemble the card I first adhered the smooshed background to the card base and glued the bear, and speech bubbles on it. I spread some beads and sequins over it. Further I put an acetate behind the frame and foam mounted it on card. And hence beautiful shaker card was ready.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I hope I did justice to this beautiful digi.</div>

Hello everybody!!<br />
<br />
I am back with another card. Today I have used <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Hope_p/ocs-11-044.htm" target="_blank">Hope stamp set</a> from <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/" target="_blank">Paper smooches</a>. As and when I saw this stamp set I remembered of my two aunts who have recovered from Cancer recetly. I really feel proud of both of them. I thought it would be great to make card for them. So here it is..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxLV9Arf5T7ND4-xJsLi1GLQDm97NpPSo-WxphA7CPaM5AGuUuQl2_vGwlNBvkTVy4NnssT4pjcZ6GbFAq7uBWPyDlhfg2Ywrt8cSc5cRPRfBZK9lIpLhRHujEP_FGdhfAyoDawCrJt9V/s1600/I+am+awed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxLV9Arf5T7ND4-xJsLi1GLQDm97NpPSo-WxphA7CPaM5AGuUuQl2_vGwlNBvkTVy4NnssT4pjcZ6GbFAq7uBWPyDlhfg2Ywrt8cSc5cRPRfBZK9lIpLhRHujEP_FGdhfAyoDawCrJt9V/s320/I+am+awed.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Each and every element is from the same stamp set. I must say it has been designed wisely. I first took a white card stock and repeatedly stamped the [hope love faith] in black memento ink. This stamp indeed makes a beautiful and relevant background. Later I die cut three labels one in pink, one in white and one in vellum. I stamped the Cancer ribbon in pink on white one with bubblegum Hero arts die ink and heat embossed the sentiment and lovely ribbon on vellum with black embossing powder. It looks super cool. I stacked all these labels and punched them on top to add a silver thread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To finish my card I provided black mat to stamped background and foam mounted it to white card stock.Then adhered the label assembly on it. I put a little glue in between labels to keep them in a place and added few sequins over it just to make it complete. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

I enjoyed a lot making this card..Hope you like it..</div>

Hello friends,<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am playing at recent challenge of <a href="http://casology.blogspot.in/2015/09/week-166-science.html" target="_blank">CASology</a> and the cue card says "Science". After seeing the cue card the first though which came to my mind was to use my brand new deepred Quantum background stamp. It was so made for this challenge..</div>
<div>
here is my card</div>

I took a white card stock and stamped the background with charcoal die ink from Heroarts. Because of cloudy weather picture is not perfect but its a light black colour and gives a really nice and subtle background against black. The size of this background stamp is bit small so had to stamp in instalments. I have recently purchased words to rescue <span style="text-align: left;"> stamp set from Stampers Anonymous for it has really nice sentiments. I took a black card stock, cut out a banner out of it and stamped the sentiment with versamark and heat embossed in white. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;">To assemble the card, I foam mounted the white panel on black card base and glued the banner on it. Just to give a finishing touch added few black sequins along with some black enamel dots.</span></div>

Hello everybody,<br />
<br />
I wanted to take part in Simon Says stamp Monday challenge but don't have any supplies related to tea or coffee except one tea-cup die from PTI. An idea popped up in my mind<span style="text-align: justify;"> when saw <a href="http://michellezerull.blogspot.in/2015/07/simon-says-stamp-challenge-coffeemy.html" target="_blank">Michelle's up cycled coffee bag</a> and the sentiment on it. And I came up with this card:</span><br />
<div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zugsoze7EGNdsvHbftEci6thhXXN0V9xlWVu2ICOWab2Kti6hDHQkksNtgSFQVuGm3w_As3JUsZOCpTkilhaFhv_YroSe9GWQ0Zbn_Rg3xrh0GJl3xf0_U2RwguzbQOOKrqqZjPw92y-/s1600/153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zugsoze7EGNdsvHbftEci6thhXXN0V9xlWVu2ICOWab2Kti6hDHQkksNtgSFQVuGm3w_As3JUsZOCpTkilhaFhv_YroSe9GWQ0Zbn_Rg3xrh0GJl3xf0_U2RwguzbQOOKrqqZjPw92y-/s320/153.jpg" width="251" /></a></div>

This card symbolizes the fondness for somebody via fondness for tea and stacked empty tea cups are proof of that. I hope I am making some sense :) I started with cutting a rectangle with an MFT die and five tea cups with PTI tea-cup die. I colored the cups in different oil pastels (Faber Castell) and rubbed them with fingers to smoothed look. Then I took some border stamps and stamped the edges of cups to make them even more interesting. I stick all these cups starting from the lowest one to give the look as if they are stacked. when my focal piece was ready I die cut this paperclip and stamped a small sentiment on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Since I do not have any coffee stamp in my stash, the word "enough" was written with <a href="http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/Inkadinkado/Products/Curly_Q_Alphabet_97713.htm" target="_blank">Inkadinkado Curly Q alphabets</a> and rest is handwritten :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To create some contrast I stamped<a href="http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/Inkadinkado/Products/News_Print_60-00677.htm" target="_blank"> Newsprint</a> in top right corner of the card base roughly and stacked the focal piece with two more pattern papers behind it. I stick the paperclip to this as if it is holding all of them. I adhered this piece to the card base and that finishes my card. I enjoyed a lot making this.</div>
