Celebrate your Day!

I love Colors, it makes me happy. I love Rainbows as its colorful too. Talking about rainbows...that's the challenge at the Embellish blog. Still why am I edgy...Oh!!! in a good way as that's the theme at CAS-ual Friday and Moxie Fab World beautiful borders.
This week we are Getting Edgy! Use your border punches, rip some cardstock, whatever your pleasure to add a fun edge to your Clean And Simple project! My liking for CAS style always makes me happy to participate in their challenges.
 For my card, I cut the border strips of white paper, colored them using distress inks and spritzt some perfect pearl water after edging it with some brown ink. Love the subtle pearly shine. Hope its clear in the closeup photo. I then glued the strips in gradient and tied my favorite twines. To finish some color to the edges of the card and a sentiment.


 Thanks for dropping by!!!

Sew Lovely

2nd. post for today, well cos I wanted to play with my new stamps from Lawn Fawn and some Basic grey pp (from my win at Hero Arts). I used the sketch from the Lawnscaping Challenge blog. Love the challenges there and they have wonderful DT cards too.
 I have been thinking about Lawn Fawn stamps for a while and love their cute style. Finally got my hands on it. I really like the way this card came up, just how I had imagined.
I never hardly use pattern paper so this itself was a challenge for me. What do ya'll think???

Papertrey June Blog Hop Challenge

Its 25th. June and that means time for
The challenge is a photo inspiration:

Its such an inspiring photo that creating a card was quite easy and I really enjoyed a lot. I am taking part in the hop for the second time (love it). Here is what I came up with:

 Love this new GRUNGE ME set. I did some tone on tone effect using versamark ink on the brown cardstock, which looks subtle and nice. May be its bit clear in the closeup photo. Please click on it for a larger photo. Thanks for stopping by.

Critter For You

YAY!!! Friday is already here. This week went by so fast that now I am thinking actually its good that time flies..lol. 1 more school week and then my kids will have summer break. Today I want to share this Penny Black critter card ( cute, love them), which I made for the challenge at Penny Black Saturday ( use Critters).
I made this folded card because the challenge at Penny Black blog is Triangle and this fold has 2 triangles at the front.


 I decorated the inside of this card as well and I like it very much. Hope you like it. Thanks for visiting.

Inspired by...

3rd. post from me today, YAY!!!
Here is another card I made for the challenge by sweet Virginia (love the title - Stamp your Hero heART away...) its to find inspiration. I made my card from another talented sweet lady Jill, who taught me a lot through her creations. Thanks Jill- I admire your work too. Here is Jill's card, which I was inspired by.
My take on it:


Background is colored with few distress inks , spritzt with pearl water and then stamped. I colored my flower using Copics and put some white dots for the highlight. Cut the Hydrangea and adhered it on the white panel using 3D foam. To finish added some bling and twine. This card looks really pretty in real. Couldn't capture the effect in the picture. Thanks for peeking in.
Since its a B'day card, I am submitting it to the Wee Memories Challenge too.

Stamp your Hero heART away....

I wanted to play with my sweet friend Virginia's fun inspired by challenge and I really love when I am able to submit in time. I admire her creative thinking and have learnt so much from her over the past few months. For my card I was inspired by her Card HERE, I like the bold and bright colors she used on the flower. I am submitting this for the Wee Memories challenge too.




I used the Envelop Background stamp for the background. Used distress inks to color the flower and some flower soft in the center of it. Thanks Virginia for inspiring me and helping me out in so many ways.
