CFC 140 - Bright Summer

Hi all. I'm thoroughly enjoying my summer. Right now am in India and its very hot here. So today I'm back with another challenge from CAS-ual Fridays. If you have already guessed, this month's challenge is about summer.  You gotta make a project using some tan, white and just one other bright colour. Below is my take on the challenge.

I had used Bold Wishes stamp set for making this card. The background is repetitive stamping in PTI raspberry fizz. I had then heat embossed the sentiment in white on a tan card stock and neatly cut it into separate alphabets. I had then assembled them all as shown above.

Hope you liked my card for today. See you again with another card. Thanks for stopping by.

Spring Time Melodies - In Love

Hi all. Hope you have had fun with water colours in the last challenge. I'm excited about spring and if you are too, then you will love this month's challenge at CFC.   This month's challenge requires you to make a card in musical theme using spring colours. Below is my take on the challenge. I'm still up with valentine's hangover I guess ;-)  

I had the Oval Tag Fri-dies for cutting a musical notes pattern paper and a brilliant red card stock.  Then I have mixed and matched the two nesting die cuts and secured the pieces together with a tape behind. I then tilted the oval tags at a right angle, which made that large heart and stuck those pieces together.

It's two pieces put together to make the heart. (like two people, 1 heart ;-) ) Sweet isn't it? This large heart looks trendy isn't it? These dies are definitely to die for!

 The sentiment is from Loving thoughts Stamp set. I had cut and used only a part of the long "Oh, how I love you!' sentiment from this set. Then I went ahead and punched a yellow heart placed in at the bottom of the large heart and finished the card.

A very simple card with just dies/ punches (except for the sentiment of course). Below are the link to the stamp set and the oval tag dies that I have used to make this card completely.

Emboss Resist Water Colours- CFC 136

Hi all. Hope you have had fun with the first challenge from Cas-ual Fridays, 2015. You will surely love this challenge as well :-)   This month's challenge requires you to make a card using Water Colours. Simple and exciting. Got your colour palletes up already?  Below is my take on the challenge.  

I had used emboss resist water colour technique for this card. First I have heat embossed these lovely flowers, from Loving thoughts Stamp set, in white. Then I went over these flowers with the brilliant blue and pink colours. I love how these heat emboss resists water colours. The sentiment is stamped to the other corner to balance the card. I then sprinkled some water colour over the sentiment, very mildly. 

A very simple card with just water colours and a single stamp set. Below is the link to this gorgeous stamp set, that I have used to make this card completely.

Peacock With Felt. - CFC # 135

Hi all. Happy New Year. Hope you had a blast on New Year's Eve. Cas-ual Fridays is back with a challenge after a break, today. Finally...right ? :-)
This first challenge for the year, requires you to make a card using felt and sequins. Below is my take on the challenge.

I had used various coloured felts, for making the body of the peacock, which I had die cut using Loving Blooms Fri-Dies. I have used sequins to add interest to the peacock. I have hand cut the body of the peacock and used twine to make the legs.  I had done some white embossing and mist to form the back ground, on a water colour paper. For the sentiment I have used the Calm and Gentle stamp set.

Stamps and Dies used.
