Neon Blooms

Hello all,

Today to share yet another card with my with favourite Neon cubes. The pics first,

Am so in love with these gorgeous colours. And it gives an excellent finish on water colour sheet. I have stamped the flowers, buds and leaves randomly to create a cluster. I have tries very hard to stay away from laces, ribbons & sequins. i wanted a pretty CAS look for this card

So i simply stamped the sentiment & splashed it with gold paint. Then mounted it on green card basse. Below is a close up of the flowers. The stamp set is Mudra's Linen blooms.

Pretty bright right? Thanks for dropping by and hope u liked it.

Hugs

Castle Christmas Card

Hello there!!

Today i have another Castle card for you, this time i tried it on the festive Christmas theme. Christmas means snow. So i have this sparkling card today,

It is a very simple card. I first inked the night sky with dusty concord and faded jeans DI. Then i hand cut the "snow mountains" and inked the edges lightly before mounting on the card front. Then i stamped the castle image with versamark and heat embossed it with sparkling white powder. I also drew some snow fall with Ranger emboss it pen and heat embossed it again. Also some snow on the ground. Finally put it all together and mounted it on the card base and stamped the sentiment finally.

Here is a closer look, 

hope you liked my card. Looking forward to posting more xmas cards soon.

Have a crafty weekend

More Chevron!!!

Hey crafty folks,

Here is one more experimental card from me. For some time now i have been wanting to give mixed media a try, but dint have the guts to do so. I got this Pebeo White gesso a while back and here is my first try with it.

I took a white cardstock and applied the Pebeo Studio Gesso through the Chevron Stencil. I used the scrapper which came along with my cameo. It was pretty good and did the job.

I allowed it to dry naturally (should have used the heat gun) and then distressed the CS with spiced marmalade and worn lipstick. The result was good but a little boring so i cut up the CS in the centre along the zig zag. And against a black CS it was striking.

Just wanted to focus on the bg and sentiment so kept it simple and neat. Stamped the sentiment on vellum and heat embossed it in black. And a little golden embroidery floss to add interest.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great week ahead

Neon Love

Hello 

Here is a late weekend post from me. Some Neon love. yaaa!!! I have been trying out some of my new supplies. Here are a couple of cards with Hero Arts neon cubes. love them. Not very versatile but still neon!!!

Ok for the first card i have tried the "direct to paper" technique and i have used Brusto watercolour paper. I felt the watercolour sheets retained the fluorescence better than the local buy sheets i normally use.

As you can see, i jus pressed the cubes lightly to the sheet, not very firmly and hence i got this grunge effect. I could have lined up the cubes little more perfectly but fine for a first trial i guess. Then i die cut a Snowflake from the panel (i would have loved a butterfly there, but no Butterfly dies with me till now, so this did fine) And finally came the sentiment and a few square blings. and mounted on a black cs.

Now over to the second card.

This is pretty simple but love it. Stamped the butterflies with neon cubes on watercolour paper and fussy cut them. Lined them up with foam dots. The sentiment is heat embossed. 

So hope you loved the neon play. Do share your ideas for more neon inspirations dear friends, It would be highly useful to me. Thanks

Valentine day card #2

Hello again friends,

Here is the second card i tried this Valentines'. My favourite one!!1I almost had a different idea for this but ended up with a completely different one(it happens a lot with me ;)) I am not much foresighted i guess. 

 Its been a while since i played distress inks in my cards. Mostly i use DI only in the corners of my scrapbook pages. So loved this card wen i got to do more with DI. It all started with the grass, then tried with the negative of the clouds, and finally for the sentiment. Am just a novice with DI colouring

Do give ur ideas of how u would have done this card. Would you have added anything more to build this card or done anything differently. Do share ut views, i would love to improve with DIs.

Thanks a lot for dropping by

Valentines' day Card #1

Hello all,

trying to stay active in blog land. ok today here is my card for dear hubby for Valentines. Made a card for simply the reason of crafting after a long while, no orders, no commission.

Its been long since i made simple open n close cards, i prefer interactive and multi layered cards but this one was fun creating. It was a quick one. The hot air balloons are cameo cut as i dint have a die for it. I added the basket weave design for slight texture. Slight distressing and doodling here and there. 

That's it today, thanks for dropping by and for ur lovely comments. Thanks again

1st bday Invites

Hello all

Happy to post again, hoping to make it a habit again. So today are some 1st bday invites made to order recently. Here are the pics first

Its a pretty simple and easy to do one. But i liked the concept a lot. The number '1' is handcut. I dint have a die for numbers so i cut it by hand and glittered it myself. It is quiet easy to glitter with local glitters. Fevicol in one plate and glitter on another plate. Actually i dint have time to buy glittered sheets, it was a last minute one, so i went in for handcut and self glittered 1s. Though this saves you a lot.

First rounded and distressed the edges, then the golden thread was tied three times around the card and arranged neatly, then stuck the '1' on top of it.

 

I liked this concept a lot that i tried it for my son's bday too, with spiderman theme. Coming soon in the next post. Hope you liked it today. Thanks for dropping by.

CAS after long

hi friends

Today am posting a CAS card after ages. Since the time i started taking orders, i wasnt able to do a proper CAS one, because almost everyone s wish is to get a lavish and grand card with lots of colours & flowers. And an interactive element has become a must. So mostly u can see multi fold cards & boxes in my recent post.
But here is a Sweet simple card i loved

I have die cut the heart, used washi tapes in the back ground and heat embossed the sentiment in white sparkling powder. Some heart shaped stones, sequins & red velvet ribbon to bling it up. Made this for my sister in law and she loved it. 

Hope you liked it. Thanks for stopping by,

Latte Love

Hi guys....

Back again with a card for BGC, hope u like it

The image is hand drawn and coloured with Faber Castell Bicolour pencils, kept the shading on the cup to a minimum so that the cup adapts the texture on the card. For the aroma, i have pierced it with a needle. Took the sentiment from Jovi's card, and i have added faux stitching around the card.

Do give me ur comments on my colouring, how can i improve it further.

Thanks dear friends for ur encouragement always, ur thoughts do mean a lot to me...

Signing off now, but ll be back soon, have lots stacked up for sharing, jus not getting the time

Happy sunday!

Deepti's CARD CASED

Hi again....

Did a blunder, dint properly notice that we had to CASE a card, i was inspired by Deepti's 3 tier cake box and did a similar one for my lil girls' bday.
Anyway here again with a CASEd version of her CARD.

Here is Deepti's card, she has used water misting technique.

Here is my take on it, i have used water misting on distressed card. The sketch is from CAS(E) this Sketch. 

Am gonna update this description later, running out of time.

Butterflies !!!

 Hello crafters

Hope u r all having a great weekend. I hav made a CAS card after a long time, but tried out new techniques (new to me). Hav a look, then ull know

Tried stamping with Hero Arts Shadow inks (thanks a lot Vithya for the RAK), isnt the background gorgeous. Used the green fields ink. The PP is from Vintage blend stack (DCVW). I distressed it with vintage photo, stamped the butterflies randomly with green ink, the happy birthday sentiment with soft pool (blue) and then distredded again. (i literally turned the green PP into brown :0

And now the gorgeous butterfly in the focus...... i stamped it separately, coloured it with water colours n applied camel sparkle with my finger to give a uniform light coat. Loved the result, then i fussy cut it. Here is the close-up. The glitters have caught the sunlight. Added some bakers' twine & dats it.

Also i dressed up the inside of the card too. Stamped the butterflies randomly. This card is for my sister, she love green, but in my process i turned the card brown based, but the focal point (butterfly) is still green.

Thanks for stopping by...

Hi friends,

Here to post a card i made according to the Retro Sketch. I dont usually follow any sketch, but decided to give it a try. Also took the colours from Dynamic Duos, green n yellow.

Another View

Decided to use PP scraps, it was real fun doing the sketch and the card was completed in no time. The roses are from an old flower vase. I have been hoarding it for nearly 4 yrs. Good that it has come of use.

Do tell me ur views dear friends. See you soon with another card, till then happy crafting.

My first Stamping !!

Hi everybody....

Here is my first attempt at stamping. This is the advantage of challenges, it makes u try out new techniques. The contest at Lulupu kept me itching to try out the stamp set i have been having for a long time now.

This is the only stamp set (other than sentiments) i have got, so no second thoughts there, but using it efficiently..... that kept me thinking. After some deliberation, here are the cards that i was satisfied with,

{Sorry for the bad pic}.... For this i have used the first stamp, stamped it out in orange n red and i have fussy cut it and made flowers out of it. Added some bling to the centre, The sentiment is hand written.

 Now here is my second card,

For the second card, i have used the second stamp. First i created a continuous pattern out of it, then drew the checks, made an Argyle pattern (inspired by BGC # 33) and formed this tile layout. Again the sentiment here is hand written. Kept both cards neat n simple, i love it dat way.

Hope u liked both the cards today, pls do give me ur feedback, this is my first attempt @ stamping, dint know the rules, jus tried it out.

Xylophone Card !!

Hello crafty minds

Check out this cool card,

My kids were playing with their stuff in which was a toy xylophone, immediately seeing the colours i wanted to make a card based on it for the current challenge at catchy challenges. I loved how it has turned out. I tried keeping the sticks (or wat ever its called) above the xylophone but i dint want to disturb the clean look, so placed it beneath the sentiment. Nothing else to describe, jus a CAS card.

Take time to...... DREAM

Dear Bloggers,

I wanted to make some cards for a few challenges.... am often said to 'over analysis' things, and that's why may be my subconscious came up with a card that fits the bill for not 1 but 4 challenges.

I love the blue embossed handmade sheet, thanks to Naveena (Rajavalli) who bought me a huge bundle of handmade sheets all the way from chennai, Thank u dear sis. The buttons are from Itsy Bitsy (Fiesta buttons) as are the flourishes. The bling is locally bought & fabric flowers are from mom s old saree.

Thats it for now. bye
