A couple of cards...

If you are looking for my Guest Design Post for Runway Inspired challenge, please click HERE

I am back again, I know I am posting almost everyday and maybe you get a little bored visiting my blog :) But as you might know when you get the right idea and everything seem to work on that idea, u can't do anything but to execute ;) LOL. These cards are a result of such a situation :) So, here's the first one... 
I created the front panel by inking followed by stenciling with a modeling paste. I was inspired by Muse #63 - Therese Calvird, Colors at CAS colors n sketches #70. the Theme at Time Out Challenges #3 - Happy Birthday (optional Masculine card) and Stenciling at the Virginia's View #2. I am glad coz of two reasons one I was able to create a masculine card and finally come up with a card that uses a stencil. I have tried a few earlier but all those made their way into the trash.

  
Supplies used - Inks Hero arts Shadow ink Soft Granite , Memento Tuxedo Black; Stencil Studio Calico Huey's mask Chevron, Dies - Momenta star dies; Camera die was sent by a sweet friend;  Stamp - Paper sweeties - You make me smile sentiment set; Versamark ink; Whisper opaque embossing powder; scotch glue stick n foam adhesive.

My second card was designed base on the Sketch challenge at The Hero Art Club Blog. This is the first time I am entering my card there. I used the Sketch #3
The panel was created by stamping the sentiment multiple times, followed by some inlaid die cutting. I used the colors at Color Q #237, the theme at the Simon Says stamp Wednesday Challenge - Animal Antics and the technique of layering/ dimension at A blog Named Hero #42

Supplies used - Inks Hero Arts Shadow Inks Fresh Peach, Butter Bar, Mid tone Pool, Memento Tuxedo Black; Spectrum Noir markers to color the image; Stamp Hero Arts OWH - My little Hoot set; Dies - Momenta Star dies; Sequins - bought from India and some Scotch foam adhesive and glossy accents.


Last but not the least, I want to thank a sweet friend of mine who mailed me most of the goodies I have used in these cards. She is just amazing!!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
