For a Friend...

My "For a friend" card is an inspiration from multiple challenges :) I love combining challenges, as it makes me think harder and more creative :) 

To make this card, I used my white card stock and embossed it with my Cuttlebug using simple flowers embossing folder. I then used my Nestabilities die - Classic scalloped circle to create a negative space.

I also used Shapeabilities - Flower bouquet miniabilities to cut and emboss the four different colored flowers.

Finally, I added white ribbon and adhered the flowers and scalloped negative die on the card stock using foam adhesives. I embellished with rhinestones of corresponding colors.

The focus of this card is the sentiment "For a friend" and I have created this for my dearest friend :)

I want to play this card for the following challenges -

1. Hand Stamped Sentiments #155 - Color challenge

2. MUSE #8

3. Cupcake craft challenges.233 - ITS ONLY WORDS

4. Incy wincy designs -Things that begin with F

Check Mate...

My "Check Mate" card is inspired by this week's challenge at Runway Inspired Blog spot and this week's Pinspired Challenge :) 

In making this card I am inspired by the colors in Runway challenged and by the words like BOLD & CONFIDENT displayed in Pinspired challenge. So to combine both these challenges I thought about the game chess where one player WINS over the other by Checkmate :). Hence, the color scheme and the sentiment showcase the two challenges.

I made the chess board by cutting a 3X3" White cardstock, then drew the grid lines and colored with by Sharpie Black marker to create a chess board. I then hand drew and cut the kings used in chess, stuck them with foam dots and finally added the sentiment :)

I want to play this card for -

2. Runway Inspired Challenge ric#31 - kate spade NY

Let's Play golf...

My "Let's Play golf" card is inspired by challenges put forth by Case study and Addicted to CAS 

The idea was to create a masculine card, so it kept me thinking of objects/ accessories used by men. I'll give credit to my husband for suggesting me to think on the lines of "games usually played by men". And there I go.... GOLF :)

So, to create this I decided to make a golf kit that will be presented in the card as a note inviting a friend to play golf :) and the background is the golf course which I created using my handmade stencil for the landscape. I used "Ink it up" pigment ink for the same. To make the golf kit, I hand drew it and then cut it with my crafting scissors and knife :). Finally colored with my crayola markers :)

I want to play it for the following challenges :)

1. CASE STUDY Challenge #130

2. Addicted to CAS #7 - IT'S RAINING MEN

Hope u enjoy my card :)
