Thanks you cards.

Hello everybody,

A quick post today to share couple of thank you cards I made.Here is the first card.

I have used stamps from Friends 24-7 and Seeing Spots.

 

Here is the closeup of the sentiment on the big bow. Love the big bow.

 

Here is the second card.

 

Purple and Green is my new favourite color combination. They look royal and rich together.

Here is the closeup of the card.

Same stamp set used on this card as well. But with different colors, the card looks so different.These two cards are for two special persons. The card are travelling to them by Auspost tomorrow.

I also have a class for kids at school on Wednesday. I have made some samples. Will share them tomorrow with you all. Untill then, have a great weekend.

Inspirational photo

Hello everybody,

Today I have a project I made for a challenge, Melissa Philips has on her blog. She has been putting up some inspirational photos from A Creative Mint blog for a while. The photos are stunning! I wanted to do them all but pressed for time. But this photo is just so attractive, I had to use it to make a project.
Here is the photo for you.

I told you! The photo is stunning and attractive. Looove the orange and white with a hint of purple. There are other photos from A Creative Mint, that Melissa has on her blog as well. I will definitely have to give them all a go one by one.Anyway, here is my take on the challenge.

I made a altered frame and a birthday card.Here is the close up of the frame.

 

I have used a combination of PTI and SU stamps on the project. Punched them out with circle punch and matted them on to scalloped circle punch and added some rhinestones and buttons and arranged them on the frame. Some closeups of the elements on the frame.

  

  

For the card, I have used the damask stamp from SU Friends 24-7 for the background. I am loving doing up my own pattern paper. Particularly the damask orange background on white cardstock is just beautiful. I wouldn't mind such a wall paper as a feature wall on my living room. Will make a great feature wall. Maybe a different color? Hehe!

Some closeups of the Prima Pearl flourishes on the card.Subtle yet adds dimension to the card.

I have started using my collection of scrapbook embellieshments to make cards. Feeling nice about it, because I have not used a lot of embellies I have for almost 11 months. Eversince I started to make cards using stamps, I have not touched my scrapbook papers and embellishments. I even thought of giving them away! But now, I have started using them on cards. So I will have a few of them and give most of them away! That way I will have some storage space available for new stuff.

Thanks Melissa for the photo and an awesome challenge. Have a great day everybody!

Elite Challenge Cards

Hi everybody,

While I am waiting for the lady who is to inspect my house to arrive, I thought I will blog. I wanted to show you couple of cards I made for Elite challenge blog. This one below is for the stamp set challenge. The stamp set to use is from the sale-a-bration catalogue called Vintage labels. A cute set of labels

I have used Mellow Moss, Kraft and Confetti White cardstock with Sweet Slumber Speciality DSP.Apart from Vintage Label stamp set, I have used Weathered background stamp and Frends 24-7. I used white gel pen to color the flowers. What an effect? the entire image just poped out. Don't you think so?

This card below is for the sketch challenge at Elite Challenge Blog.

I used nestabilities label set and sponged Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the image using Stazon. Colored the flowers with markers and rhinestones on centre.

There is the color challenge left called "Point Taken" but it is a real challenge to use those colors. Real tough! Atleast for me! I am still wondering how I am going to use them together. Anyway, I still have time to think as the lady has not yet arrived. I am starting to get hungry.

Aww! thanks Nikki for your wishes. We had a lovely dinner and the resturant did organise a complimentary champagne and special desert with sparklers as a surprise. Thats was just awesome yesterday. Never had any surprises like that before.

I think I better get going to cook lunch.

See you soon. Until then.......

Color Challenge

Hi Everybody

We, Stampin' Up! demonstrators at Art with Heart group under Claire Daly have some challenge every month on our forum. In this month's color challenge, Miriam (my upline) has provided pictures from where we draw our colors to make the card/scrapbook page/3-D.Here is the inspirational picture.

Isn't this kitchen just beautiful? I want one like this one. Maybe not the teal color but love the island bench, the white cabinets with timber table top, the lighting and the wooden beams on the ceiling are all just awesome.Have printed it out and glued it on my scrapbook. I have a scrapbook of all interesting colors, designs, furnitures, ideas for my new house. I am hoping I can get atleast 40% of  ideas incorporated into my house. Anyways, here is my take on the challenge.

 

Any a close up of the thinking birdie

I recently bought this stamp set called "Friends 24-7" because I wanted he damask stamp but the entire set is a beautiful set and a must have according to me. I don't know why I did not get the set long time ago! Silly me! Here is the close up of the stamped background I created using the damask stamp from this set and the spray stamp from "Bird on the branch" set. I think doing the background adds interest to the card.

Hope you like the card. I have Aditi's friend over for play at home and they along with Siddarth have just started throwing LEGO pieces across the room. Got to go and get them to stop throwing! I hate Lego pieces everywhere. They hurt my feet when I accidently step on them. Ouch!

Have a great evening!
