A SHABBY CHIC BIRTHDAY CARD....

HI FRIENDS,
Today I am posting a  Birthday card in a style which is quite unlike my usual work ,but once I started making this card it seems the elements just fell into place ,so without further ado a look at my Card First:

                                                 

    And now adding some more detailed pictures of the Card below:

                                                                                            

   

       My pic's have not come out well this time I  feel the colors in real life look much softer than shown here but I seem to be having some problem with my camera too ....hope it gets resolved soon...anyways  a little bit about my card now .The DP used is bought locally and I  have used MS punch to create the paper lace those cute flower embellies  on the lace   are from Pie Lane which Snehal had sent me in her Candy and the pink flowers used in the corner are from Priya's candy ,the Tag is made from Fabriano Brustro and have stamped the flowers using clear stamps from The Paper Company and inked with HobbyIdeas pretty color ink.the butterfly is from Itsy Bitsy and I have stamped the dots on it and covered it with glitter glue from Hobby Ideas, the rhinestones are from my stash,I have stamped the sentiment on vellum using clear stamp and ink from Rubber Stampede and the ribbon on the tag is from my stash as well.
Thats it from me hope you guys like my Card would love to get any feed back from you:)Have a Good Day Everyone.

DOTS, STRIPES AND TAG!!!

HI Everyone ,
Today i wanted to share a Tag I made... got a bit bored making cards for some time now,so thought a Tag would be a welcome change ,so look at my tag first:

I have used a couple of scraps of PP to make the bottom layer and the circle at the top ,papers used are from K&C Company and Papermania I then stamped some flowers with a PTC clear stamp using Color Box pigment ink in red on Fabriano Brustro  and have to say that i loved the result i got,  perfect image every time ,the leaves are punched and colored using Memento Bamboo Leaves and added some Pie Lane Glitter balls and champange butterflies the sentiment is stamped using a PTC clear stamp on the dotted paper which is actually a post it note which i had got recently from my local Starmark. Oh and not to forget some red twine which i had bought from kavi. . . That's it from me.hope you all have a Good Day:)

A BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A TEEN....

Hi  Friends,
Today I am posting a card which I made at the request of my friend's daughter who wanted to give it to her Friend for her 17th birthday,she had a few Specification's  for it  and asked Me to make a card in Shades of Blue with the words "Smart 17 ''written on it .So here is what I created, have a look First:

  And now Showing you some close up of the Flower's and the Dress Form:

                                         
        And now for the Flower's:

   Now a little bit about my card ,when I started to make this Card I was stuck for Idea's  and kept  trying out various things until I came upon this Card by Vicky from the Blog clips and cuts  and then I had a starting point for my card, That is the Dress form and I hand drew the Silhoutte shape  and Cut it and Distressed the edges with Memento Ink (Rich Cocoa)and made the Skirt with a 1 inch Satin ribbon in white and placed a dotted ribbon and  a strip of Glitter  on the skirt . I made the string  around the neck with Pie Lane Glitter Balls and for the top I  cut a piece of Blue (DCWV)CS and stuck it to the Silhoutte shape,I used the Itsy Bitsy Alphabets to form the Word "smart" and the 17 is from Glittered number stickers from Itsy Bitsy and  placed on punched out heart  I decorated the alphabet tiles with some punched flowers and also framed the dress form with some Itsy Bitsy flowers in shades of blue and light yellow The Flourishes are from Pie Lane,the DP is from K&C Company and the edges are punched using Fiskar's 3 in 1 corner punches the base CS is from Hobby Ideas.  
                        That's about it from me.  If you have any questions or doubts do let me know and will try to help you out.Please do drop in a line to let me know if you liked my card. Have a Nice Day Everyone:)
