And a close-up of the flower which I have made form die..
                                                               

I had lot of fun making this flower using inks and perfect pearls to give it a shine..The small flowers are also inked and sprayed with perfect pearls..The harlequin border stamp from Tim Holtz is just fabulous..I really love this particular set it has some amazing designs ..though its grunge in style I think I will be using it a lot more in future :)

Inspiration for Crafter's Corner # 7! :)...

Hi everyone,
Sharing with you a hand-made frame today which I have made for the inspiration at Crafter's Corner where our this time's challenge is -Bingo set by ME :)..Do check it out HERE....So here's a look at My frame :-
                                                     

                                                             

And a closer look at the flowers ...This particular orange flower I had made along with the flower in my THIS Trellis card...But after making it I found it too dark an orange so was not able to use it on the card!...But when I sat down to make this frame I thought this color contrasted very well with my background pattern paper for my frame....

                                                                   

All the small flowers with the stamen in the centre I have punched out from a hand-made paper and colored it with Distress inks...Infact all the leaves ,the flourishes and even the flowers all are colored using Distress inks!...These inks are so bright and they blend in so well with all kinds of paper and the advantage is by using Distress Inks you can create any color cardstock of your choice....And once after coloring if you find the color too bright you can always tone it down by just spritzing water over it!.

Supplies Used :-

Hand-made paper frame -Candy from Devika.

Patter paper- Papermenia Joyeux Noel.

Dies : MFT Layered Rose,Cheery Lynn Olive Branches,Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish,Cheery Lynn tropical flourish,Cheery Lynn Mini French Pastry doily,Cheery Lynn Lace Deco corners(F),Cheery Lynn Exotic 3 in 1 butterflies..

Punches : Punch Bunch Hydra-cluster,Jef punch.

Inks : Distress ink Ripe Persimmon,Shabby Shutters,Memento Pear Tart.

Mod Podge for sticking the pattern paper to the base of the frame!

Pearls -Stash

Challenges entered :-

Cheery Lynn- Back to Nature (Winner!)

Hi friends,
Today I have a joy-fold card to share with you all....I have made a fold -card after a long time ..I usually love working on either square or rectangle cards!...But this fold was quite fun and easy to do as well!..This card has been inspired by Shruti's card which she had shared on the Lulupu blog!...So here's a look at My card and some details..!!

                                                                   

                                                           

And this is how it looks when lying flat....

                                                                   

And this is how the card looks when it is half -opened...


                                                   

And the full view now...

                                             

And now here's a look at Shruti's card on which my card is based....
                 
                                                         

I just love Shruti's work a lot especially the way she uses her colors and her stamped and fussy-cut flowers look just awesome!...I have taken inspiration from the flowers and her color scheme and put my  own twist on it!...Hope its half as beautiful as Shruti's though!..I have made my flowers from the MFT die and colored it using distress inks.

 Okay now a little bit about my card ...I have used the Webster's Pages DP  for my base and I have distressed it using a small pair of scissors to create the whole shabby chic  look... Have used  various dies to make the frame ,Eiffel tower, flourish and leaves ....And have used the seam binding ribbon which I have hand colored :) ...The buttons that you see here are  hand made too ...I have made these following the Tutorial that Colleen has shared on the IBS blog and there is also a fun challenge based on it so do check out this challenge Here... And most Importantly  the colors of my card are inspired by the gorgeous color's of the Pretty Paper studio March Challenge...They have put up such a soft and beautiful palette that I  just had to make a card based on these colors ...Here's a look at them below :
