Made this card just in time for the Challenge at Annabelle Stamps... It was to not use any Pattern paper. I was itching to ink this image for some time now and exactly knew how my card should look like. Focusing on this pretty stamp given to me by Andrea. Thanks again Andrea. I Embossed it with white ep. Distressed the background with some distress inks and spritzt with some gold perfect pearl. Its so difficult to capture it in the photo but trust me, it looks cool. I stamped my HA butterfly stamp and colored it with distress ink too and some pearly water. To finish some twine and faux stitching.

Stamps: Hero Arts, Annabelle Ink:  Ranger

TFL. Enjoy your evening.

Oops!! I shrunked the Images...

Me again...Oh it nice to create so many in a day but I dont have time the rest of the week, so I think its fine. Here are my cards with Shrink plastic again...Oh !! I am loving it so much, its really a fun technique....

So for my first card, I stamped the Penguin stamps from Heroarts on Shrink plastic, colored them with pencils...shrunk them( thats the fun part). I then cut a square on front of my card and put aborder around with glitter. I then made my scene on some watercolor paper with watercolor, stamped the snowflakes in silver, put some more glitter for snowy effect and stuck my Pingus( thats what my little one calls them in German). For the finishing touches some Rhinestones, string from Pizzazz Aplenty
Since the colors are perfect with the challenge at Paper play, I am taking part there.

 Ink: Tsukineko, Ranger & Brilliance Stamps:  Hero arts, Rhinestones

 I hope my Pingu are seen better in the closeup view.

Now to the 2nd. card. I stamped the Magical bg stamp white on white. I then stamped my images on Red paper and colored with pencil. I love coloring on colored paper. Then hung my shrunk ornaments, this time stamped them with Gold ink. Beautiful in real life. To finish tied a cord with 1 ornament and embossed my sentiment with gold ep and some Rhinestones.Since this card is perfect for the challenge at The Ribbon Girl.... I am posting it there.

 Ink and EP: Ranger, Tsukineko Stamps. HA

Thanks for the patience tonight and hope you enjoyed as much as I did.

Christmas Cards

So dear friends, here I share with you all my new creations. I have to say this is going to be a long post, so please bear with me. I made some after seeing This video from Jennifer....isnt she Adorable. Another is my use of Shrink plastic, which I brought for my daughter and I so liked it....that 1 sheet ended up here...lol.

For the 1st. card I stamped the Music background, which was a gift from Linda...thanks Linda...love it. I then clear embossed the Poinsettia flower. Then added some Distress inks to give the color. Love the effect. Then followed by some glitter, Ribbon etc. Now I want to also tell you that if you like Ribbons and pearls and Rhinestones...go and check at Pizzazza Aplenty. She has lovely collection of flat back pearls and Rhinestone, cords etc and the prices are just perfect. I am taking part for the challenge at The Ribbon... as the theme is Red and green.

Stamps: HA, PP: DCWV, Inks & Stickels:  Ranger

My 2nd. card is again from Jennifers Video. I stamped the Christmas House, colored with Copic and pencils...put some flock, glitter, glossy accent. Then I embossed the Music BG again with white ep but this time partially, keeping in mind not to emboss over my House. Then I colored the edges with 4 colors of distress inks. For the final touches, made this Deer image with Shrink plastic...lovely effect ( its like magic when it shrinks) and some Silver pearls.

Inks, glossy accent and ep: Ranger& Tsukineko, Stamps: HA 

Now for this card I took the sketch from CardPatterns sketch #86

 For my interpretation, I made this window panels by using the distress ink in blues and grey and spritzt some perfect pearls. I then stamped the Pine trees with Distress ink and clear embossed it. For the star used some white HA chalk ink. Then I stamped this house, colored with pencils, put some Glitter and glossy accent and adhered on the panels. Now the fun part. Made this hanging bulbs to decorate the window, with shrink plastic again...it looks like glass. I hope you can see it better in the closeup view.

 Hope you like these, Thanks for visiting. 2 more cards coming up soon ;)

Something to share

Hello friends...I know ...I know...its been few days without any post. Well no excuses but since I am still learning the Blog world, sometimes it gets difficult to manage everything. I sure would like some tips on reducing the time I spent on taking the photo  to working on it...resizing and then finally posting it here and on Flickr.
Anyhow I want to share these yummy goodies I got from Monika along with these two lovely cards. Thanks a ton Monika, you really made my day.

Music Note paper, stamped images ( lots of them )

Now This 2nd beauty is from Dawn. She sent me this card for October CCC challenge. Thanks Dawn, I really adore this card and the lovely papers you sent me. I will take a photo of it soon.

Lovely butterflies, they are glossy and shiny
