Compose a card challenge #9

Today's card share is my take on Becky's compose a card challenge #9. I have missed atleast 3 of her previous challenges. School holidays is keeping me busy with kids. Just could not find that time continously to sit and do craft work. This card I made it last night after the kids went to bed. But by next week they should be at school. Then I have the entire afternoon all to myself and I can do craft and do my eyebrows are well. lol!

Anyway, here is the recipe and the inspiration photo.

I love this challenge as I had recently done 3 similar cards using a sketch from Go To Sketches book. I loved that sketch so much. So this challenge too is one of my fav. Here is my take on the challenge.

I have used one of Cosmo Cricket old paper called Girl Tease. Such a pretty vintage girly collection. Butterflies from PTI's Butterfly Dreams stamp set.Sentiment is from PTI's Delightful Dahlia stamp set. Black button from PTI and red button from SU. Rhinestones from Kaisercraft.Kraft cardstock from PTI.

Thanks for the challenge. Enjoyed it.

Have a great weekend.

Compose a card #5

Hello everybody,

This is my second post for today. I love blog hops and I participated in the PTI blog hop earlier today. Wow! I am still hopping I should tell you. Great work by so many fabulous stampers. Anyway, this post is to showcase my take on "Compose a Card  Challenge #5" by Becky Ohelers. Here is the recipe and the inspirational photos for the challenge.

 

 

Polka dots are my fav. They look awesome and never ages. Isn't the dress cute? Love it. I decided to make a dress to put on my card.  I also wanted to use Vellum on the dress. So here is how my dress on the card turned out.

Loving your challenges, Becky! Thanks once again.

Have a great day.

Compose a card #4

Hi everybody,

I have been doing Becky's "Compose a card challenge" every week. I missed last week challenge! I was very very busy. But I made the card today. So I am going to show it anyway.First, here is the challenge recipe and inspirational photo.

 

 

  

And here is my take on the challenge.

 

Well, I did not have the positive and negative stamps. Neither did I have stamps coordinating with the pattern paper I own! So I decided to keep with the sketch but used a pattern paper with felt design instead. The black damask has felt texture and is raised. So nice to rub fingers on them. I have used Say it with Style Stamp set from PTI, black flower punched from Basic Black cardstock using SU's 5 petal punch and the green felt flower is from SU as well.I really liked the color combination and the wide card too. A great addition to my library. Thanks Becky! 

Becky has her 5th challenge up on her blog. Its got polka dots which I love on cards. Again unusual color combination. So I better start making this one as I am free this afternoon.

 

Oh! SU team under Claire Daly is having blog hop end of every month. I am participating in it. There is a blog candy too. So tune in on 28th of Feb to see my project. Have a cup of coffee and hop on to 14 different blogs to see some fabulous projects. 

See you all soon. Have a great day!

Compose a card #3

Hi everybody,

This is my second post today. This time, its for another challenge. Its "Compose a Card" challenge by Becky Ohelers. This the third challenge in her series. There is a recipe card, a inspirational photo, a video and a sample on her blog every Tuesday. Check it out here. This is the third challenge recipe and photo.

 

  

Here is my take on the challenge

This is a new stamp set I bought from SU. Its called "Rose is a rose" Awesome set.I really liked the white emobbed on the pink.Cool! But I would not imagine to combine these colors! Looking at the picture and then the card, it is beautiful actually! This photo is at an angle! I liked both the photos so I am putting them both in the post. Hehe!!!

Awesome challenge. Thanks once again! can't wait for the next challenge.

Have a great day!

Compose a Card Challenge #2

Every Tuesday, Becky Oehlers has this Compose a card challenge. This week its a pretty flower card with buttons. Here is her recipe and inspirational photo.

 

  

I love the yellow and white combo. Its a nice springy and pretty card recipe.

Here is my take on the challenge. My five petal punch just arrived from Stampin' Up! and I used the punch immediately. lol! Love the layers and the colors.

By myself I will not attempt to make such cards. I don't know why? But maybe I should start making pretty flowery card, because I like them. Will be perfect for little girls.

Thanks for an awesome challenge. Looking forward to the next one.

Compose a Card Challenge

Hi everybody,

In my previous post, I participated in my first blog hop and first PTI blog hop. I was excited and hopped some 25 to 30 blogs and wow!, there were many many awesome cards and envelopes. I have taken note of some great color combination, some nice sketches and many tips. It was great fun. And for the first time I received 50 comments. I am blown away (tears in my eyes)! Thanks to each and everyone of you who left me sweet and encouraging words as comments. They are very valuable for me and motivate me to do more. Thanks everybody, once again!

Today I have a card I made for Compose a Card Challenge at Becky Oehlers blog.She has all the measurements, ribbon, punch and colors for the card. You could use any stamps or ink and sketch you want with the measured pieces of cardstock in the recipe. There is also a photo for inspiration. I thought it is a cool challenge. Here is how her challenge looks like!

 

I love this curtain. The parsley design and color is awesome. I had a parsley stamp set but could not find it! Since I moved house, I have not yet got used to whats where! I will go through my storage again and if I find the parsely set, I will make another card. But here is what I made

I loved the sketch of the card.  I will definitely print the measurements and keep it with the card. I have a mini file folder templatewhich I am going to use to put the card and the measurement print out. I will probably show you in my next post how I am going to organise these cards. Great way to have a collection. Thanks for a great challenge, Becky!
