Few more challenges...

Hello everyone, I am back with two more cards :) My first card is inspired by the sketch at CAS colors & sketches #48 , the colors at Runway Inspired Challenge #46 - L.A.M.B. and by maple leaf in the Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger- Entralled in Fall. Also submitting this to Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes challenge :)

To make this card. I cut out the largest circle from Sizzix die and score it vertically at a 3/4 of the circle. On the 3/4 portion, I hand drew the sunburst kind of lines and cut them out. This was then stuck on the card stock. The maple leaf (from Inkadinkadoo mini stamp) is stamped on another white card stock, fuzzy cut and inked (Memento dew drop dye inks). It is then stuck on the card base with foam dots. Finally, I made a few dots with sharpie grey marker and added glossy accents. Sentiment was stamped (from Paper Sweeties - you make me smile set) using Archival black ink.

My second card is inspired by the Muse challenge #40, this week the Muse is Darnell and I had to play along. She is such a sweet heart and making a card inspired by her card is my acknowledgment to all the love she shares with me by leaving all those sweet comments on my blog :) I used the colors from Color Q #211 and will also submit this to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Halloween or Halloween colors.

To make this card, I did some masking and inking (using Memento Dew drop dye inks) to create this wavy panel. I stamped and fuzzy cut the butterfly and stuck it on the panel with a hand drew butterfly trail. The focal image was made by stamping leaves (from Studio G wood mounted leaf stamp), flowers (from Studio G -iClear mini set) and mini flower (from Martha Stewart - Doilies set). Sentiment (from Paper sweeties set).

Catching up with a few challenges....

Today, I sat down just to catch up with a few challenges this week. I haven't made a card since last thursday... my DT card (which was posted yesterday) was made a few weeks ago, I make DT cards in advance :) My first card is for multiple challenges Keep it Simple #25 - BE INSPIRED (because I love nature and landscapes), CASology Week 67 - COUNTRY, the theme challenge at Less is More Week 142 - TREES and the CAS on Sunday #19 - GET WELL SOON Challenge.

To make this card, I roughly hand drew the scene. Then I masked and inked with a semi circle to make the land. Hand drew and colored the fence. Hand drew the tree trunks and masked n inked the tree tops with masks made with sizzix circle dies. I stamped the sun (from Studio G - iClear set) after masking the trees. Finally, drew and colored the bird. Sentiment is hand written. Country reminds me of such a scene with fence, trees, birds and sun and a bright day is always said to bring health n happiness ;)

For my second card I was inspired by the Photo at Inspired by #93 challenge, Sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!! #50 and CAS Masucline card challenge at The Paper Players #169.

I decided to make the lens of the camera with its shutter open. I cut out a 2.5x2.5" panel, stuck the circle in the center that will form the base of the lens. I then hand drew and colored the shutter of the lens using Sharpie Markers. To make the lens, I cut out a transparency and a circular frame to surround it. It was  stuck with foam dots. Finally, I hand drew and colored the flash. This is a perfect masculine card as men enjoy all these gadgets ;)

ATSM #68 - Addicted to Colors

It's time for another challenge at Addicted to stamps and more... Addicted to Colors

This is a challenge that requires you to use the challenge color and create a card. I am sure you enjoy incorporating different colors into your projects, so here we are with some lovely colors for you...

To make this card, I cut out a small rectangular panel from white card stock, then inked it lightly with the celery shade. then stamped the Mini Flourish (from Inkadinkadoo) in the same shade, then I stuck this panel on a black card stock leaving a border around. I then hand drew the flower petal layers and colored then with Sharpie marker, stuck them at one edge of the panel and curled them, Then I stamped two butterflies (from Martha Stewart stamps), fuzzy cut each and stuck them on this panel. Finally stamped the sentiment (from Paper Sweeties - You make me smile set)

Hope you like my card. There is a lot more lovely inspiration from the DT, Please visit our challenge blog here. The winner will receive a wonderful prize from our sponsor this week Nicecrane Design. Take a peek at their store here

I couldn't resist...

Hi friends, the title of this post depicts that I couldn't resist creating this card... I got this idea in the morning and right then at around 8:30am I started to work on this card. I was thinking about how can stitches be incorporated into a sentiment, then it hit me that we sew relationships together, we mend relations, which led to patching up.... I was inspired by the CAS-ual Friday's CFC117 - In Stitches challenge and by the colors at Color Q #211. Here's my card...

To make this, I decided to make a trendy collage look. On my card base, I lightly swiped the my Memento Dew drop Ink to match the pumpkin pie shade. I then did some random stamping using My mind's eye  the sweetest things and Studio G - iClear grid stamp. I cut out hearts from DCWV Basics Stack of two sizes using Nestabilities Heart dies. Inked the edges and stuck the little heart over the bigger one. Then I hand drew the faux stitches to indicate the patch and the thread extending beyond. Hence, the sentiment ;)

Finally, I hand drew some dots with Sharpie Markers and added glossy accents over them.

Best Witches!!

If you are looking for my ATSM #67 post, please click HERE;  for ATCAS #24, please click HERE and for Catchy Challenges, please click HERE...


Hi friends, I am back with "Best Witches" for you all ;) The reason behind this card is obvious the Blog land is all spooked and I had to be a part of the spookiness.

This card is inspired by LIM Week 141- One Layer Witches and Wizards challenge, the colors of Pinspired challenge #19, the theme at The Friday Mashup #131 - Spooky project and the Photo at Inspired by #92 Challenge. Here's my card...

To make this I cut out a circle using my Sizzix circle dies for masking. The inked up the circle with Memento dew drop dye inks. I don't have a stamp of a witch but I was having a pack of paper stencils, I purchased at a local grocery store (yeah!! I do that) that had a stencil of a witch. I used it to make the witch with black Sharpie Marker. Finally, I stamped a few stars (from Holiday spotlight Joy-nailing set) purchased at Local craft store.
