PDCC #129

Morning everybody,

A quick share today for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #129.
Here is the colour picture

Not only do I love the colour combo but my eyes were drawn towards the pillow. I have seen similar design pillows and cushions in different colours and I have pinned one such cushion on my pinterest’s Inspirational board. So I took the pillow as my inspirational and made my card.
Here is my take on the challenge.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampers Select White from PTI

Stamp Set: Flower Fusion # 8 from PTI and Big Greetings from MFT

Inks: Basic Grey, Kiwi Kiss and Perfect Plum all from Stampin’ Up! and Archival Jet Black Ink

Accessories: Rhinestones from Kaisercraft

I inked my arcylic block with Basic Grey and stamped on the white panel. I used the back of the negative image stamp from Flower Fusion #8 and stamped second generation to get the flower base. And then used the positive image of the flower and full ink to stamp the image. I love the texture yet still one layer card except for the rhinestone.

Thanks for visiting 🙂 Have a great week!

Ta!

CAS-ual Friday #50

Hello everybody, 

What a beautiful weekend? Weather is awesome. Cloudy but chilly. A great day to get out and about. That is what I am going to do today and followed by making some changes on my blog.

Well, yesterday’s shopping did not go so well. My town strandbag sold out on that particular handbag and the salesperson called other stores to find if there are any but no luck so far. The next restock is in July!!! Oh well, it is not a disaster 🙂 I still have an unused 40% off voucher. Sad to let it lapse:( But I think I saved that 60% for next craft shopping 🙂

Anyway, here is a card I made for CAS-ual Friday challenge. I tell you, I cannot wait to start designing for them. Just one more week to go 🙂

 Here is this week’s challenge

And here is my take on the challenge

Supplies:

Cardstock: Orange colour card and envelopes from local store.

Stamp sets: Simply Sunflower, Modern Basics and Pretty Peonies from PTI

Inks: Papaya and Grass from Amuse Inks and Cup’o Joe from Hero Arts aand Archival Jet Black Ink

Accesories: Simply Sunflower dies from PTI and sanding block.

 

This card too has a white core and when you sand the edges, you can see it and give a beautiful subtle border. Love it. I have used CAS-ual Friday sketch from last week to make this card.

 

Thanks for visiting! 

See you soon with a toot and a card 🙂

 

Until then… Ta!

Happy Mother’s day!

Ever since I bought this set from Wplus9, I have been itching to ink it and make a card. 

On the weekend, I managed to do it to make a Mother’s day card. 

Supplies:

Cardstock: White cardstock from Wplus9

Stamp sets: Mother’s Day Bouquet from Wplus9

Inks: Amuse papaya, lime and bermuda. Archival Jet Black Ink

Accessories: Label layers 4 die from Wplus9, rhinestones from Kaisercraft, Pinking Edge die from PTI

Loved to create background using stamps. I love this set. Have you noticed that the colours are pastels? Very unusual for me to use pastels. Love it though. Hope you do too.

I got to go now. Going shopping. Saw a Kardashian bag at Strandbags and I have a 40% voucher with me. I want to see if it is still available at the store. Disadvantage of being in a small town is that nice things sell out and they don’t restock 😦 Will show you the bag it I buy it 🙂

See yoou soon. Ta!

Inspired By Pinterest

Ok! Thursday of the week and it is time for another Inspired by Pinterest challenge.

This time I was inspired by a scrapbook sketch I found at Pinterest, originally from Two Peas In a Bucket website. I think it is a digital layout. It was intriguing for me and I wondered how can I make a card using it. 

Here is the sketch for you

And here is my take on it.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Wplus9 white cardstock

Stamp sets: Day Dreamer, Grunge Me, Butterfly Dreams, Daily Designs and Think Big favourites #11 from PTI and Super Star from Wplus9

Inks: Basic Gray, Poppy Parade from SU, Lime and Papaya inks from Amuse Inks and Archival jet Black ink.

Accessories: Circle Punch.

I love the graphics on the card. Also enjoy using multiple stamp sets on on this card, about five or six stamp sets in all. Very happy with how it turned out.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

You are so charming…..

Well, when I saw Lawn Fawn’s Critter Ever After set, I instantly knew it has to come home to me. Why? Aditi, my daughter love dragons. She is infact dragon crazy. Has read The Lost Dragon Chronicles and The Eragon series, has made clay models of dragons and now wants to do a course in mythology! lol! I don’t know how long this phase is going to last. Previously, it was all about horses 🙂

Anyway, LF’s Critter Ever After is here with me and Aditi couldn’t resist colouring the dragon image with the fire out of its mouth 🙂
 So here is a card she made yesterday using the dragon stamp.

Supplies: 

Cardstock: Gina K Luxury White and Close to Cocoa from SU

Stamp set: Critters Ever After from Lawn Fawn

Accessories: Circle die from Craft Concepts, Three Hearts punch from SU, rhinestones from stash and Forest Branches Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Aditi did practice her colouring and shading couple of times before she did on the card front. Not perfect but she is very proud of her card. We drew the card sketch together in my sketch book first. Wrote down details and colours before she assembled the card. We had some very good mother daughter conversation and bonding during the making of it. Aditi asked if I can publish her work on my blog and how could I refuse? Am I a proud mother? Of course I am 🙂

Please leave her some nice comments to boost her confident and motivation to do more 🙂

Thanks in advance. Until next time….
