An Altered hoop and a Tag !

Hello, everyone!
Today I have two projects to share with you all. These projects were created for the Papericious blog to introduce the new Adhesive buttons/flairs that have been released this month. I really enjoyed using these buttons on my projects. :) 

So, here's a look at what I created using these buttons. The first one is an altered hoop and the second one is a Mixed media tag!

For this hoop, I have used the Pattern Papers from the Papericious Grey Bloom collection and the Wooden Collection. The pink flowers and the leaves are fussy cut from the Grey Bloom collection paper and mounted on square foams for dimension. As you can see, I have used these buttons for the centre of my bow as well as a part of my sentiment.  These make very pretty centres and look great on cards, layouts and mixed media projects!


Here are few of the close ups!




I am entering my altered Hoop for the PPS challenge : Inspired by a song. I was inspired by THIS song from Francesca Battistelli.

Moving on to my Mixed Media tag :

 I first created a burlap flower using the Tim Holtz Tattered florals die and layered it with some tulle and fabric cotton laces and finished it off with an adhesive button. Isn't it gorgeous??
I have created the background of the the tag using embossing paste and a stencil from Tim Holtz with Distress Stain Sprays.


 I am entering this tag in the Stamploration Mixed Media Challenge.

Thank you for your time and have a nice day everyone! Please do not forget to leave your comments/suggestions. I love to get feedback from you :)

Background Building- Thanks Card

Hello everyone!
I am on a card making spree these days and I have two cards to share today which I'll be posting in two separate blog posts. These cards are again created for the World Card Making Day celebration challenges at Winnie and Walter. I absolutely LOVE this company and I have really enjoyed using their stamps and dies in several of my cards.
Here's a look at my first card for today :


I created this card keeping in mind Shay's Background Building challenge. W & W has such great sentiment stamps and I really love using it to create my background as well as the main focal of my card. Their The Big, the Bold and Extras is one of my favorite stamp set and now that I have it's coordinating die, it's a win-win situation for me. :D
The black 'thanks' has been stamped, heat embossed and fussy cut and mounted on foam dots, so are the flowers and leaves. I stamped the background using Hero Arts Soft Granite ink. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

I'm entering this in the Background  Building Challenge and BGC- Anything goes.
Hope you like my card. Please do drop in your comments/suggestions. I love hearing from you.

Have a nice day everyone!

Today I have a card to share..Actually I had made this on the World Card Making Day but did not have time to post it right away. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have already seen this. :-)
This card was made keeping in mind a couple of challenges which I wanted to participate for the WCMD....Before I give you the details, here's a look at my card first :

I have used Altenew's Wild Hibiscus set to stamp and emboss my flower and leaves ..Also used the leaves from the Doodle Flower set and have gold embossed them using Ranger Gold Embossing powder on vellum and colored them  with Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, then fussy cut them.
The leaves are colored using Shabby Shutters Distress ink. My background panel is embossed using Darice Woodgrain Embossing folder and I have used Papericious Grey Bloom Premium Pattern paper for my bottom half.
I watercolored a cardstock panel using Picked Raspberry Distress ink and die cut the circle from it to frame the flowers and leaves.
 The sentiment is from Winnie and Walter -The Big, The Bold and the Party set  stamped using Altenew dye ink Coral Berry. The sequins are from PPP!
