CFC - 138 Krafty Bouquets

Hi all. Today I'm back with our next challenge for the month @ CAS-ual Friday's Challenge.  This month's challenge requires you to make a project with the following elements on it - Kraft + Flowers + Twine.

I had the Oval Tag Fri-dies for cutting the frame off center of the card.  Then I have made these pretty flowers using the Loving thoughts Stamp set and Loving Blooms Fri-dies. I had used Bold Wishes stamp set for the sentiment, arranged all the elements and finished the card. I had used some gemstones, twine and a white ink gel pen to add highlights to the card.

Below are the links to the stamp sets and the dies that I have used to make this card.

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.

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.

RIC # 74 - Escada

Hi all. After like a really really long time , I got to make a card for a challenge and it had to be the Runway Inspired Challenge. Below is my take on the challenge.

For this card I had used the PTI inks Lemon Tart and Sunburst. I mixed these inks in with some water and used it them as water colours to form the pattern. 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.

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.

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

Hope you liked my card. Your opinion about the card matters. Thanks for peeking in.   ETA   This card has been choosen as CTS Favourite for the week :-) Refer the post here  

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.
