Merry and Bright Christmas

Hello

Wishing everyone a Merry and bright Christmas with today's creation. A splatters card created using Craftangles Festive Lights stamp set ( inspired by Khyati Kothari's quick card tutorial)

 Took time out to make a quick card made by stamping the lights and used my distress inks to color them. Splattered the same inks all over and added the sentiment.                                    



Hope you like it. Do leave some love in comments.

Hi

Hello Crafters!

Off late this Simon says stamp grid play stamp has become my all time favourite. Today I used the solid rectangle and circle stamps to make the word 'HI'. Inked the borders of the card too. (Wanted to create a One layer Card)
Also tried Gradient stamping and loved the result. Added some sequin to finish the card.


Thanks & Regards

Deepawali Card

Hello friends!

Today I am here with a half fold card. It was made for the soldiers at the borders.

For this card I used the Lace stencil from Craftangles. I wanted to make a shiny shimmery card as it was for Diwali. So I chose Kraft colour cardstock keeping in mind the soldiers uniform. Spread the shimmer paste from Little Birdie over the Lace stencil to create a rangoli. Fussy cut the border to leave a fancy fold over on the card. Stamped the sentiment and here it is..

Rainbow Anniversary Card

Hello Friends

It's my friend's 7th Wedding Anniversary.  To reestablish this number,  the 7 colors of the rainbow is the best choice.  So I decided to make them a card in rainbow colours. I used a square outline stamp to make an abstract multicolor frame and stamped the sentiment in the center.

Hope you all like it.


Do leave some love in comments.

Diwali Card

Hello Peeps

How about a sky bursting cracker going up and giving out colorful sparkles! What a sight it would be.

My card today visualises this moment and goes up in air.

I have used a stencil for distress blending and then stamped the sparkles outside too.
Sentiment and stamp comes from Mudra.

Have a look at this bright colour combination in the right top corner.


Wishing everyone a Happy and prosperous Diwali.

Summer Grid card

Hello Crafters

Here is card in Tic Tac Toe Version ( Grid Pattern) in summer theme.
I used 3cm *3cm  squares to create my Grid. I foam mounted these pieces for an added effect. I used the elements from Craftyscrappers Sending Sunny Smiles stamp set. I stamped the Sun, hat, goggles, beach ball and coconut water ( all summer related things)  Colored them with my Zig brush pens, fussy cut and adhered them to the grid to form the summer Bingo diagonally
Lastly added the sentiment by using white embossing powder.

Have a look at it.

MFT 2019 Card design Superstar Challenge

Hello Crafters

One of my Favourite Challenges is on. MFT 2019 Card Design Superstar
The one I follow to get inspired, haven't participated yet though. This time I so wanted to Play along with it. And here I am with my creation for the Clean and Simple Genius Category.

I searched my stash to find the MFT supplies. I had few stamp sets and few paper packs.
 ( I am still to buy a die cutting machine, so no dies 😓). This time pattern paper won over the stamps. And I made a CAS card using them. Have a look at it.
(I cant figure out why the image quality is so bad)








I made a Masculine card. For this I made 3 shirts using the Tranquil Textures Paper Pack. I chose plaid design sheet to make the shirt and another sheet from same pack for the other elements 
like the pocket and the button strip of shirt.
Adhered them on a white cardstock and stamped the sentiment 
from BB up in the air stamp set. 
Lastly adhered it to a black card base.

Thanks & Regards

Sunshine Card

Hello Friends

This card is inspired by the current theme on Time Out Challenges #143

Sunshine and Rainbow being the inspirational words for my card.

Lets have a look at it







I have used Craftyscrappers Sending the Sunny Smiles Stamp Set . 
Coloured the beach umbrella, coconut water with my Zig Watercolor Brush pens in rainbow shades. 
I added a small goggle to the sun who seems to enjoy the Sunshine at its best with coconut water. Loved these little elements.
