Thanks for always being there!

Hi There! I'm here to share a CAS card which I made for this week's Color Throwdown #483 challenge. I just love this color combination of Coral, Green and Kraft. I'm also playing along this week's CASE this Sketch #262 challenge. Here is my take!

First, I blended the Abandoned Coral, Mowed Lawn and Vintage Photo distress inks on a white card stock and cut out the feathers using Simon Says Stamp Feather Craft Dies. To give a little dimension, I layered the feathers and spritzed some water on it. Then, I stamped on the sentiment from Inkadinkado - Thank You Words stamps set and finished off the card by adding a strip of black and white washi tape adjacent to the sentiment. That's all for today.

It's always fun to play along with sketch and color challenges! Great way to bring back the creative mojo! :P I hope you like my card today.

Happy Birthday Little One

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great time. I have been doing quite a lot of birthday cards lately and I'm trying to keep my cards CAS. Today, I'm sharing this pretty birthday card for little girls. I used two colors to make this card inspired by Make My Monday challenge and used this week's sketch from Case This Sketch challenge.

To begin with, I stamped the cute elephants from HeroArts - Lil Hoot stamps set and did simple coloring using distress inks. Next, I created a base for them using pink shade inks and stamped on the birthday sentiment from AveryElle - Party Animal stamps set. I finished off the card by adding some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh - Sweetheart Mix and Marshmallow White.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Hope you like my card and thanks for stopping by! :)

New Home - Congratulations Card

Hi friends! I'm back with my recent card. I hardly get time to update my blog nowadays. I'm in the mid of cleaning and organizing my workspace. So, I had to go one by one. I'm a person who can't work when things are messed up :D Well, I'm glad that I'm here again! :) Here is my card.

I used Copic markers to color my images and distress inks for the background. I used primary colors to keep the card clean and simple. It's a simple card...but it took hours for me to get it done :p

Love You Floral Card

Hi There! First day of the month! I have a card to share with you all. This is a simple card using some floral stamps and most of them are from the Simon Says Stamp - Hello Friends stamp set. It's my first attempt in creating a wreath design. It took some time for me to start building the wreath using small stamps. I wanted to try something which is out of my comfort zone. So, here is my card for today. 

I stamped the images and water colored them using distress inks : Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet, Broken China and Shaded Lilac. I had no idea how it will turn out as I never tried water coloring on my previous cards. It's a great experience playing with distress inks and it was challenging too! More to learn :)

The sentiment was gold embossed and adhered to the center of the wreath. Overall, water coloring is therapeutic! I enjoyed making this card and love the way it turned out. Hope you like my card. I would love to hear your feedback.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges :

Seriously, I couldn't take my eyes off them, they were all so beautiful! So, I decided to join the fun and play along with the challenge. So here is a quick "Thinking of you" card for this week sketch!
