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.

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.

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

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.

Orange blossom - Anniversary.

Hey, it's time I catch up with RIC # 76 challenge this fortnight. Below is my take on the challenge

The colours on this card and the entire scene is inspired from the outfit in the inspiration image below. I loved these bright colour. Perhaps I needed these bright colours to treat my eyes as all I see after the snowstorm is white and black in shades :-)

Another view at the card closely. I love the orange. Its mostly Orange Zest from PTI. and the rest are some copic markers. The trunk of the tree is painted with a bamboo skew, with dark chocolate PTI dye ink.

Hope you liked the card. Thanks for stopping by. Ta-Ta

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.

The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp die cut. The inspiration for this card is clearly the colours and pattern from the inspiration picture below.

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.
