Embellish Challenge

After a long time I got to play with Embellish Challenge. The theme is Background Stamping, which I really enjoy. The sponsor are Hero Arts (love that company).

 Usually I dont combine these colors but that is why I love color challenges because I can challenge myself. Here is what I created.

I created the background first, which is distressed with blue distress inks and clear embossed. I then used green distress inks to highlight that blue. I clear embossed these flowers and curled the petals a bit and layered them together. The sentiment panel is stamped with Envelop background. To finish some twine, some flower soft at the flower center and pierced holes along the edges. Thanks for dropping by.
I am submitting this card for the Embossing challenge at Yvonne's blog too.

Rainbow Block

Hi ya friends. Yay its friday, I am so happy because I could finish my card today as I wont be getting time over the weekend. We have our yearly International festival from our City. So I would be busy cooking...its so much fun.I made this card which I was thinking about as I love this Rainbow colored  inspiring photo from Moxie fab Tuesday trigger. Also the new color Block challenge at CAS-ual friday this week.

Here is my Graphic CAS card (Today it felt like I was back at work...lol), using colors from the Trigger photo and blocks from CFC#7.

I cut some plain and DP using my Fiskars punch. Arranged the colors and glued on my center kraft panel. Used some white embossing powder for the sentiment. Used some distress ink on the edges and adhered the center panel onto the card with 3D foam. To finish a touch of twine and blings for the special touch and effect. TFL.

Star...

My 2nd. post for today. As I said, I just love CAS challenges and I really like the CAS-usl Friday Challenge and Lawnscaping challenge# 11

This time I used the row with Emboss, Felt and Twine. To start with I drew the Star shape and attached Twine to it. I then stamped this cute snail twice. Once on Red and then skin color felt, I also added some black stickles to the eyes. Cut the stamped pieces and did some felt piecing...lol After that I wrote the sentiment and embossed it with Red ep. Applied some red distress ink on the edges of the center panel and the card. To finish adhered the center piece with some 3D foam.

 Stamp: Hero Arts, Twine from The Twinery, Ranger Red embossing powder, Ranger embossing pen, Barn door distress ink

Close up of the snail. Its so cute. Thanks for taking the time to visit me.

For You

Blogger is playing on me today. I made 2 cards last night for one of my favorite style challenge CAS but could not post them. Finally got time to share them with you. I made this card for the currant challenge at CAS-usal Fridays and Lawnscaping. Gorgeous inspiration cards by the DTs at both the blogs...a must visit. I made the Crepe paper flower for the challenge at Yvonne's blog by her guest Kirstey

 For my card I chose the bottom row: Button, Flower and Twine...some of my favorites. Since its a CAS card I wanted to make single layer card, so for the center vines, I masked the area and stamped the leafy vines. Then to give some twist made this Crepe paper flower, to give some coloring I used red distress ink on the orange flower. Looks really pretty in real. For the flower center used my favorite De-Nami button upside down with some twine. The sentiment is a Rub-on. I used some diamond stickles on the button and the tiny flower in the sentiment.

 Stamps: Wplus9, De-Nami button, Twine from the Twinery, Rub on from American crafts, Ranger Stickles

 We have cloudy weather today, so the photos are not very good but I hope you like my creation. TFL and leaving some love.

CASEing Jill

This month the muse over at CASE Study challenge blog is one of my favorite Jill Foster. Her creations are pure eye candy. I wanted to participate in the last weeks challenge too but couldnot because of my back problem. Anyhow, I could just manage to be on time for this one. I am also submitting this card for the challenge at Wee Memories which is free for anything. Below is the creation to be CASEd:

Here is my take on it:

 (Stamps: Penny Black, Ranger distress inks, Ribbon: PTI, Pearl embossing powder)

 I distressed the background with distress ink and stamped over it with the Paisley bg stamp using the same color. For the vertical panel, I used multicolor distress inks and then stamped the same BG stamp using red ink. I stamped the flowers using some felt tip pens and perfect pearl spritz. Cut around them in circle and distressed the edges with 2 colors of distress inks. To finish some ribbon, pricking at the edges and embossed the sentiment. Hope you like my creation. Thanks for peeking in.

Long time no post...

Hi folks, If you are wondering where I vanished, don't!!! I am very much here. I was having back pain which wouldn't allow me to sit for more than 10-15 minutes. I am feeling much better today...so back to the blog land...missed you all so much.
I was looking for some inspiration and this one made me smile, so here is a card based on the inspiration photo for the Masculine trend challenge at the Ellen Hudson's Classroom. I recently came across this blog and love love it. The CAS style comes from the challenge at Lawnscaping...always love their challenges. I am also submitting it at Wee memories...its all about to free your Creativity.

 Love this trend but not if my hubby decides to wear it...lol.

 Stamps: Penny Black and Hero Arts,  Silver Embossing powder, White and Silver gel pen,  Charcoal Twine from the Twinery.
Lots of details here but I cant write more today, perhaps I will write tomorrow.
