Happy Wedding Day

So, I was in front of the TV yesterday, watching the Royal wedding. I really enjoyed myself. Loved the dress, its simplicity and Elegance and softness n rich feel. So inspired by it, I made this card which is perfect for the challenge at A Passion for Papertrey.

So inspired by all the above qualities of the dress, I used the soft colors, a touch of lace and pearly sheen to my card. I stamped the Retro background stamp with soft pink ink on some pearl white paper. Stamped the Dahalia with white ep. on pink paper and colored it using medium pink pencil for some depth. I then cut some of the petals for even more depth and misted it with some Gold perfect pearl water. To finish...sentiment in Gold, some lace, bling and Twine.
It was quite difficult to photograph this card to capture the pearl sheen. Hopefully its bit better in the closeup. TFL

Juggling Monster

Wow!!! my 2nd. post for the day.Now here is a small story.... My sister took her 3 year old son to see a Circus show last week and yesterday while talking to him and listening to his cute stories about everything and to get to know the fact that he was immensely impressed by the juggling Clowns...this idea started taking shape.

Since Hero Arts Masculine theme was already in my brain and the fact that I love those new Monster digi, I made this card for my nephew about my version of Juggling Monster Clowns...lol. I am submitting it to the current Moxie Fab Hullabaloo dots challenge too.




Supplies: Paper from Papertrey, Stamps all Hero Arts, Twine from The Twinery, Distress ink and Versafine Black ink, Copics and pencil colors, Glossy Accent

 I am into Kraft these days, so for the base I distressed the edgesof Kraft card and stamped HA Happy defination stamp. I then made these 2 poles coloring using distress inks to color. Then printed, colored and cut this Monster from the Hero Arts  Digi collection. Now for the balls, I used the circular sentiment from the same set and cut it to the inner circle and colored. In the end used some glossy accent on the balls, Monster's eyes,tentacles, mouth and stocking design. To finish adhered everything with 3D foam, used 2 colors of Twine for the Rope and made some lines near the balls for the movement.
I hope my little Nephew will have fun seeing this. TFL

Now, before I finish my post, I would like you to visit this blog by Joy....she is celebrating 100 followers and is having 5 days of amazing candy. Added bonus is her wonderful creations.

I have been thinking of playing at DeNami challenge since I got the goodies from my win. Now with these gorgeous colors and cute stamp, it was very difficult to let it go. Thankfully, I could finish it just in time. Here are the colors:
 Here is my take:


 I made this little House and when I open the door, peeps in this cute cute Robot. Love my one and only Denami Stamp...lol. For the Door knob, I used a button from Denami Harvest collection. I would really recommend their buttons too. Great shapes, colors, quantity and design. Hope you like my creation. I am submitting it to Claudia & Company CAS challenge too.

Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop Challenge

I can not believe, my 4th. post of the night....love when I feel creative. I saw the challenge at Papertrey and since I have this one and only masculine stamp from my win some time back...thought of playing along. thanks Kate for this lovely stamp. I made this card for my 3 yr. old nephew, who loves planes and got admission in a very good school.
I used the color inspiration from CR84FN challenge.Since its a CAS card, its perfect for the challenge at Claudia & Company too.

I stamped the image in red ink on blue card for the center panel and then put some crackle accent over it, I then drew some clouds and used pop up paint on them...they look so soft, fluffy and white:) Now I edged it with some Faded Jeans distress ink and adhered it to Pure Poppy card. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white paper with some inked edges, gave the wavy effect and finally attached a button with a twine and faux stitching.

Supplies all Papertrey except the button
May be the crackle effect is better in the closeup. TFL.

Enjoy...

Now this is really not normal for me 3rd. post in a day but I am loving every moment of it and hope you guys are also enjoying. Thou weather is really nice and I still have not yet put new soil and fertilizer in my Garden....
I made this card for the challenge at Lily Pad blog which is a sketch by Lucy.
 I received this lovely Penny Black stamp from a dear friend and am going to mail  this card for to my younger brother, who just changed his Job. That means its perfect for the new fun challenge ( Make-it + Mail-it) by Lisa Spanglar. A very inspirational, informative blog.
 Supplies: Paper Migros, Inks ( Ranger Distress inks, Memento Black) stamp Penny Black and Papertrey sentiment
To start with, I made my background of grass, hills and sky using various distress inks, then I masked the sky area and sprinkled some water for the effect. It looks really lovely as I tried it some days back too. The center image is stamped on white card, colored with copics and pencil colors. I paper pieced the kite for some brightness and color. To finish adhered these images with 3d foam, used the twine for the cat to hold and stamped the sentiment. I also put some glossy accent to the kite ribbons. TFL

Say it in...

Say it in....well thats another challenge at Annabelle and its...

I love this combo and whatever way I use it....somehow it makes me happy, so I ended up making 2 cards.

For the 1st. I clear embossed the silhouette stamp on blue card and edged the edges of the card with some blue distress ink. I then used the frame stamp from another set and stamped it on cream card. Colored the frame and stamped the sentiment with purple chalk ink. Now cut the frame in a circle and distressed it. To finish adhered some purple ribbon and some Annabelle Sprinkles.


For the 2nd. card, I stamped a Hero Arts background stamp on cream card. For the center panel I used some blue and purple distress inks and then spritzt some perfect pearl water. It gives such a lovely shine. i then stamped the Silhouette with black distress ink. I gave some wavy effect of the sentiment strip, to give some movement in the card. To finish some twine and some bling.

 Supplies: Paper Migros, Ink (Ranger distress inks and Memento black), Stamps n Sprinkle( Annabelle stamps) twine from The Twinery, bling from Pizzazzaplenty
May be the pearly shine is visible on the closeup. Hope you like my creations. TFL.
