ATSM #73 - HOLIDAY

This time ATSM team decided to start a new series of challenge titled "Holiday", so the challenge this week at Addicted to stamps and more... HOLIDAY opens for you a wide range of ideas, from projects for any festive holiday or for some holiday destinations or whatever comes to your mind when think about holiday... There are numerous possibilities. Here's what my interpretation of Holiday is...

For me holiday is having fun and then i thought about the way people tend to enjoy their holiday's. Then I decided to go with kite flying and hand drew the kite and it's string spool, fuzzy cut each and inked them. I stamped some circles and dots (from Inkadinkadoo Dots and Flourishes stamp) to create a whimsical sky and land. Then stuck the kite and the spool with foam dots connecting them with a hand drawn string. Sentiment was stamped (from Paper Sweeties). I kept the card CAS by using two colors. Hope you like my card.

ATCAS #27 - PET

It's Saturday and therefore its time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS and all our dear CAS lovers get set as the code word this week is PET selected by our brilliant and talented Vicki. She is also the host for this challenge. It's time for the pet lovers to take out all their lovely pet stamps and bring them to use to create some cute and lovely cards.

Our winner will get a wonderful prize from our amazing sponsors Digi Darla

For my DT card, I decided to make a miss you card. Here's how I have depicted that on my card...

Since I don't have any pet stamp but I do have some stamps with the paw prints and I wanted to make use of them so I decided to make a pet home (kennel). I hand drew the kennel with a pencil and scale, outlined it with a fine tip pen and inked it with Memento Dew drop inks.  Stuck this on the card base with foam dots. Then I stamped the paw prints ( from Scrappy Cat - Cats & Dogs Set) showing movement from kennel to the outer edge of the card base. I added a strip of DCWV pattern paper to ground the entire scene and fuzzy cut some grass to be stuck on each side of the kennel. Finally , I wrote the sentiment. Hope you like my card :)

Our DT has come up with some amazing projects this week. Pop over to our ATCAS challenge blog here and take a peek. I am looking forward to the challenge this fortnight and am very excited to visit your blogs.

Have fun in creating a Pet special CAS card :) and thank you for visiting my blog.

ATSM #72 - Make your mark

It's time for another favorite challenge at Addicted to stamps and more... MAKE YOUR MARK

This is a challenge that requires you to use Markers, Pencils, Pens, Textas, Chalks, Crayons etc. If it writes or colours - use it! I am sure you love coloring as much as I do :)

I recently purchased some Neon Markers from Sharpie and I had to use them :) So, I thought what would be a better place to use them than the Make your mark challenge at ATSM :D To make the multi colored panel on my card base, I hand drew the parallel lines and divided it into 5 equal sections. I then drew some zig zag lines in each section with different neon markers. Then I stamped these doodled circles (from Inkadinkadoo dots and flourishes set) using Archival black ink. I punched out some dots from neon foam stickers and added them. The sentiment (from Martha Stewart) is stamped. Hope you like my card.

ATSM #71 - ANYTHING GOES!!

Hello crafters, its time for another challenge at Addicted to Stamps and more... ANYTHING GOES !! and I am sure you all enjoy this challenge as much as I do, it gives us an opportunity to explore so may unlimited ideas. So, you have so much explore, get going and create what your heart desires. Here's what I did...

I decided to give a final shot to the Fall season as now the only color that I get to see around would be white with snowfall all around for few months. To make this card I did some masking and inking to create sunburst on the little window on my card base. Then I hand drew the tree branch and colored it with some makers and pencil colors. I punched out some mini Maple leaves from my picture punch and inked them in red, stuck then on the branch. Finally, stamped the sentiment (from Paper sweeties). Hope you like my card.

For my DT card, I was hit by the idea of perfect match, match lead me to match stick. So here's my card...

To make this card, I took a red card stock to cut out the smaller heart using my Nestabilities Heart die and for the other bigger heart, I used a white card stock, stuck some rows of red washi tape purchased from Michaels'.  Then I cut out another smaller heart from this stripy heart. Rest, I stuck all the elements together using Glue dots and foam dots. Added some red sequins from Art minds and wrote the sentiment. Hope you like my card :)
