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.

Click on the stamp set image above to find more details about it. You could join the fun by clicking the challenge graphic below.

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

CFC 139 - The Birthday

Hi all. It's going to be an exciting challenge at CAS-ual Fridays this month. Wondering why?  Since, CAS-ual Fridays is celebrating its 4th birthday this month. Yaaaay!!
So this month's challenge is totally about celebrating Casual Fridays. For this challenge, you must make a birthday themed project using only 4 colours - Orange, Turquoise, Black and White.
Here is my take on the challenge. 

A big sentiment with some water colours in the back ground. Simple and quick. I had used a black pen to create to created that shadow around the sentiment,It was totally hand-drawn. And I love how the shadow made the sentiment standout. This lovely sentiment is from Bold Wishes Stamp set.

For the loved

Hi all.  This week's CASE this sketch challenge seemed quite interesting. I knew what to make the moment I saw it. Below is my take on the sketch.  

I has used some water colours to create the background, on a water colour paper. Then I had trimmed of the inner rectangle using my paper trimmer which gives the sentiment a framed look.  This sketch is ideal for large sentiments, isn't it? 

 

However the sentiment did bleed a little when I has added glossy accent drops on top to give the dew effect to the card. You can see those tiny rhinestones and glossy accent drops in the close up below.

Happy Holi

Hi all. Wish you all a very Happy Holi - the festival of colours. 

I have used wplus9 - Ink splats stamps for this card. And the sentiment is partially stamped (Simon says stamp - Happy) and handwritten. You could also make simple gift tags for your sweet boxes or gifts exchanged between family and friends.

Last Day of Summer - 2014

Hi all. The last day of summer apparently drived me to make a bright card. I think this is the first card that I have made with nothing black on it. Below is my take on CASE This sketch challenge for the week.

I watercoloured the background with mute pink and yellow colours. I loved the flowers which are stamped from 'Ruby Rose' and leaves from 'Turning A New Leaf' PTI stamp sets. The circle border has been die cut from memory box circle border die cut, on a gold sheet. Below is a closer look at the elements.

Foxy Fox on the card.

Hi all. Here is my take on Moxie Fab Challenge - Foxy Foxes Challenge. Click here to visit the challenge blog

I have added some shimmer to the grass thinking it would give dew drop effect. The fox and the sentiment have been stamped from the lawn fawn stamp set "Critters in the Forest". I have coloured the fox using copic markers. A little mist and a twine completes the card.

I'm also linking this card for the following challenges

Roses

Hi all. This week's RIC # 66 challenge is quite interesting where all colours are brilliant. Here is my take on the challenge.    

  The wooden box in the background, the royal blue and the roses have clearly inspired me. The layout of the card too is inspired from the picture, if you know what I mean.     Hope you liked my card. Your opinion about the card matters. Thank You.  

Floral Dots.

Hi all, here is my take 2 Casual Friday's Challenge  #134. I have used Circles and Dots stamp set from Inkadinkado for the flowers and have used the sequins to embellish the flowers.

My card has elements from the diagonal 'Sequins-White- Dots'. This challenge is one of those extra fun ones that you do not want to skip.

Hope you liked my card. Your opinion about the card matters. Thank you. 

Rain of Sequins and Dots.

Hi all. Feels so good to be back after a while. I'm upset that we have to wait until 2015 for the next challenge with 'CAS-ual Fridays'. I couldn't let go the last challenge for this year. So here is my take on Casual Fridays Challenge # 134.  

 

It was hard for me to decide on the set of 3 elements to use on my card. I did two sets on my card.

1) Sequins-White- Dots (the obvious)

2) Sequins - Emboss - Twine

 

 

I have clear embossed the border stamps above and below the sentiment. This added a shimmer effect

and looks gorgeous.

Congratulations - For the one out with flying colours.

Hi all. This week's CTS # 52 is up with a simple sketch, looking at which I knew what I'll be doing right away. Here is my take on it.

I have painted the wide strip of paper in patches with 4 PTI inks, diluted in water - Simply Chartreuse, Pure Poppy, Hawaiian shores, and Lemon Tart. These colours smudged off so well. Then I have used a memory box die cut for the circles background and for the 'Congratulations' banner I have used tilted banners die cut from Simon Says Stamp. Do join the fun and play along here @ CTS # 52

Thanks - Cath

Hi all. I couldn't believe the news that it will be the last post from her last Friday. I have been busy last fortnight with job and job hunting, and this morning when I checked the blog feeds, I was saddened by the news. I had to make a card to thank Cath for all the inspiration she has shared over the years. Here is the card I made for our 'moxie fab' Cath.

For making this card I had taken inspiration from the colorQ challenge # 213. I used sponge daubers to ink the negative space, of a stencil from momenta, with the colours from the challenge.

Hi all. Here is my other take on the RIC # 45 challenge this week.  

This card is inspired by this week's RIC # 45 - Tanya Taylor challenge. The colour stripes on the dress were my inspiration. The sentiment and the die cut are from "Simon says stamp -you", which I had stamped in a curve. Click on the image below to check out  the challenge.
