A Vintage-y happy birthday :)

Hi everyone,
I have another card to share with you all....And this time it's based on a sketch from Mojo Monday!...This card came together with a lot of difficulty...Somehow,things were just not working out and it took a better part of a day to complete this!...But I am quite happy with the end result...So here's a look at what I have created :                                                                    

And here's a closer look at the butterfly and the flowers :

                                                                       

I have heat embossed the butterfly with ZING! embossing powder in black and in real life it has a very nice glitter on it which I have not been able to capture in the photos but it really looks very beautiful!..The flowers are all punched using different sizes of daisy punch from Jef....and I have generously used distress stains to color them and the butterfly.....The dark brown background and the frame have both been distressed with Memento rich cocoa dye ink...It's such a vibrant shade of brown...I think I like it even more than Vintage photo distress ink !

Supplies used :

Base CS-Campap

Brown CS-DCWV stack.

Pattern papers-Cosmo cricket(Dunno know the collection though !)

Embossing folder-Swiss dots by Provcraft

Dies :

Spellbinder's Beaded square,Cheery lynn mini french pastry doily.

A glittery birthday!

Hi friends,
So I am back again to share a card with you....I have made this card keeping in mind a couple of challenges...Since,being back from  my vacation I have been so busy with my children's school work and exams that even though  had been meaning to share some of my work I just could'nt find the time to do it and I really regret the fact that I could not time find time to play along the Let's get trendy now 3 challenges hosted by some really creative and talented ladies (Yvonne,Amy,Julie)..But I finally did manage to make a card for atleast 1 of their challenges...And here's my take on it :                                                                  

                                                                         

As you all know,I love making my own flowers and this one is no exception..This flower was made from the Cheery Lynn Stacker #6 flower die and I have colored it using distress stains -barn door and festive berries.I have just started using distress stains and I am so in love with this product...These stains give such a bright and beautiful finish to all the projects and even my punched laces and trellis background are colored using distress stains..Now,I don't need to worry about the right color cardstock...By using the stains,I can get instantly the color that I want for any particular project!...Yayy for that :)

Another product which I am very happy to have received in my mail is the Hero Arts shadow inks....I just love those colors..So soft and beautiful and I have already used it for stamping on the die-cut sentiment from the Inspired by stamping stamps...Love that as well !

CAS Card Two!

Hi Friends,
So I am back again to share another CAS card I have made..This is also done against the Kraft background but in a totally different style then what I am used to usually!...Making CAS cards is a lot of fun and it's been really challenging for me to use so less embellishments on my cards...So here we go ..Have a look at what I have made :-                                       

  And a another view :-
                                             

 As you can see my card is pretty simple..All I have done is stuck the chevron washi tape in a diagonal angle,then die-cut a flower from it ,and in the negative space I have placed the smaller size die-cut flower using the dotted washi tape.The above dotted background  is Unity 'Dots for sure' background stamp and the sentiment is from HA which  I have heat-embossed using clear embossing powder!                    
I have done a bit of spritzing on the top-half using white and yellow acrylic paints and stuck some bling and I was all done! :-)

Supplies used :-
Base CS -Campap
Kraft CS -Local buy
Stamps :-
Unity Dots for Sure,Hero Arts Good friends
