Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone!! I know there was no activity on my blog for some time. Just a few more days to go and then I can be back to normal routine. I do have some scheduled posts coming though. Later in the day, we have a challenge at Timeless Twine blog, so don't forget to miss that. It's fun :)

Today we have the new challenge at Paper Smooches SPARKS. It's an Anything goes challenge, that is easy, you can create what your heart desires as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps...lol

Here is what I have for you. I stamped the brushstroke stamp using various pretty colors of inks by Imagine Crafts/ Tsukineko (Memento Luxe, Brilliance and VersaColor) I then stamped and embossed the floral image using ImagineCrafts iridescent clear embossing powder. Love the effect. I then outlined it using the white gel pen. Love this subtle shine and effect.

Be sure to stop by  and check more inspiration by my talented team mates.

Here is what I have for you. I created a watercolor splash and then used some multi-color foil for the sentiment. The words in the Bold Buzzwords are big enough for such techniques. It looks really pretty in real life.

Here is what I have for you. I needed a Birthday card for my daughter's friend, so made this but here is the twist. I used 1 stamp in 3 ways!! How???  well, I stamped the Digits stamp on Vellum using the Brilliance pearl ink. I stamped the same stamp on my white mat layer but it gives a soft effect as the vellum layer is on the top. I then made my focal point using the same stamp and die. Love the effect. I used all the inks by Imagine Crafts/ Tsukineko

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by my talented teammates for more inspiration and leave them some love.

You Brighten My Day!!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!! Time to relax and make a to do list for the next week and that is what, you can enter a new challenge for this week at Paper Smooches Sparks. It's Designer Draft time.

 I like the sketch :)

For my card, I first started with the Duo Die and my image. I love this cute light bulb and sure gives me a smile :) I drew the glow around the bulb using my Memento marker. Then I die cut the arrows to  use them instead of the 2 horizontal banners. I used some washi tape for the vertical strip. Love how it all came together :)

So, I hope you have marked the challenge in your to do list!!

I also used our new Delicata shimmer Silver ink! It was dull and grey so my photo doesn't do justice to it!

Here is what I have for you. I love the effect of VersaMark ink on the dark cardstock...subtle and soft. I also used the new Radiant Neon ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko...love these inks.

Just Roll with it :)

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I just realized that Blogger decided not to publish my already scheduled post. So here it is:

It's another Sunday yet and that means it's time for a new Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge! Now we know that you all are very busy around the end of the year, so we have an easy theme: ANYTHING GOES!!

Here's my card:

 I used the cute "Calorie Free" stamp set from Paper Smooches. I just love the sentiments with the images, they're so fun :)

For the edges, I used some embossing paste, which I had colored, with a self-made stencil using a die.

For more inspiration, do visit the other DT's blogs!

Holiday Cheer

Hello Everyone! Happy Sunday :)
It's Sunday and that means time for a new challenge at Paper Smooches Sparks. Today we have a Designer Draft Challenge for you, that means a great sketch!

Here is the sketch:

Now you don't have to interpret this sketch with all the layers. I made a CAS card and for my interpretation, I stamped the falling snowflakes in Bokeh effect for the left rectangular panel. For the other 2 vertical panels I stamped and colored the snowmen. Now my glittery snow hill is the horizontal strip Love how it all cam together.

If you would like to play along with this week's challenge, then link up your creations at Paper Smooches Sparks blog.

Season's Greetings

Hello Everyone!!!! So excited to share with you my first card as Paper Smooches Sparks DT member :) I love Paper Smooches stamps and dies and with every release this love grows stronger!! I really like what Kim come up with every month. So, being on this team is like one of my dreams come true.

This week at Paper Smooches Sparks, we have "Anything Goes" as our challenge theme. Can it be any easier :)

I used some new stamps and dies and chose to make a winter/snow scene for my card (we already had snow last week...lol)

For my card I stamped, colored and fussy cut the cute snow couple from  Freezy Fellas. I created the watercolor background then stamped the snowflakes from  Fresh Snow  using various inks. Then I die cut the center part using  Quote Tag dies. I used Vellum onto the center square, then I popped the outer side of the die cut using 3D foam.The sentiment from Christmas sampler stamp set. I also used Brilliance inks by Imagine Crfts/Tsukineko. These inks give this card a nice and subtle pearly shine.
