I am away....

Hello you all creative n talented ladies, just want to let you know that I am volunteering for an Association of my village. We have a big festival from 3rd. - 5th. September, to raise money for Charity. So I am fully swamped till then and that is the reason for no card from me. I will be back with something to show you all after 5th. I have 1 card but will take a photo tomorrow and share with you all.
So, happy crafting till then.

August CCC

I made this card for Rikke as part of Deborahs CCC challenge. I did a lot of distressing, masking, layering...actually enjoyed myself a lot making this card. Its all Sir Tim Holtz inspired so I goess its perfect for the challenge at Simon Says...

Anything Tim Holtz inspired......

I made this card for for 2 Challenges.At Simon Says Stamp and Show the challenge this week is  "Anything Tim Holtz inspired".As you know by now, I love distressing and getting my fingers inky, so couldn't stop myself...lol.
I got the idea from the Inchie challenge at Embellish mag. blog

 I made the Center Inchie panel first. Embossed the wild grass with black ep. on watercolor paper and distressed it with some peeled paint and Dusty concord Distress inks, spritz the perfect pearl water. Now adhered the edged inchies, keeping the center one in 3D. Then for the corner triangles, clear embossed the same stamp but making sure my grass points towards center. I then distressed using the same colors and cut my inchies and edged. Adhered them all in the corners. Did some faux stitching around my center panel, put some glossy accent on the butterflies. To look at the shine, here is the closeup.

Hope you enjoyed the process as much as I did making it.

Back to school....

At Heroarts the theme is Back to school and since my younger one started her Class 1(which is the Official School beginning in Switzerland), I sort of remembered my school days and started with this project inspired by all the new things we bought for my daughter. So here is the inspirational pic.

Here are the things what I made:

So here I made a Bag, an Etui, Notes file cover, post it cover, some pencil color, Eraser, Ruler, Notes paper etc.Talking about colors, well I became like a kid while making this and my favorite color till I was 20 use to be baby pink and this soft blue...lol.
I found the Tutorial for the bag here. 

3 Views of the Bag. Since it has polka dots, its perfect for the challenge at apassion...

My Etui( Pencil pouch), with some color pencils. When the colors are taken out, they work as bookmarks too.

Inside of the notebook cover are some notes paper and a must have Ruler, love the way it turned out. For the Ruler I stamped it with Antique linen distress ink.
Lastly my Post-it pad cover, which I use a lot.

Hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did making it. Dont forget to leave your sweet comments.

PDCC#43

I have so many things to show you but its getting late, my other project is a big one so will try to post it later....I made this card for the current PDCC challenge.

Here is what I made:

I embossed this flower with white ep. Distressed using some Tumbled glass, Broken china and Faded Jeans distress inks. Spritz some pearl water, made some cute between the petals and curled them a bit. For the window, cut some pattern paper, stamped it with HA Earth flowers stamp, adhered the paper to an embossed white Card. For the finishing touches, made the faux stitching. Adhered the flower and my cute sentiment with 3D foam pad.
TFL.

Cupcakes...mmm

So a bit of fresh air after 2 hectic weeks( my younger one started school), I know...I know, it should be hectic for her but it was so tiring for me mentally. Anyhow made these 2 cards for some relaxation cos next 2 weeks are busy too. I am volunteering for my village festival ;)
Now the first card is based on this sketch at SRM challenge blog. It is also perfect for the theme, Jenny's has at weeMemories....check it out

 My take

 I used some stickers given to me by my friends Kathy and Agata...thaks girls, cos of you I could participate in the challenge. I used some pps for the background, put the center cupcake on a lovely shimmery textured paper. Wrote b'day freehand to go with this lovely bold HAPPY sticker. For the cherries, used some buttens, made crochet stem n leaves, colored it with felt tip pen and assemled everything together.Did some machine stitching to give the finised look. I hope the closeup can explain my textured paper n leaves better.

My second card is also for Jenney's challenge, cos it is perfect for B'day n sweet tooth ;)

Hope you enjoyed the cards. Dont forget to leave your sweet comments:)
