WCMD Challenge #3: India

Hi Everybody,

I was hopping blogs today and came upon Nichole Heady's blog. She has 4 challenges marking the World Card Day. I thought I will give them a go. Since my origins are from India, I thought I will give India a go first. If you want to participate click here.

Here is my take on Challenge #3: India

In India, we wear bright, vibrant colors,layers of clothes, with lots of bling and gold thread work. Paisley is very common in our clothes.So keeping that in mind, I have used a combination of bright blue, purple, green and orange on my card. I dry embossed paisley design using cuttlebug embossing folder. decorated the embossed cardstock with brads, rhinestones and gold gel pen.The ribbons are layered and adhered using rhinestone brad.Stamp is from Dreams de jour stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I like the outcome. Hope you like it too.

The other countries are Australia, Japan and Mexico. I have done Japan.Will load it soon.

Can't wait to make Australia. Thanks for the awesome challenges, Nicole

And this one is finished with Crystal Effects.
Basically I stamped Kindered Spirit stamp using white craft ink on Chocolate chip cardstock and finished differently.
All three are simple and clean cards. I particularly love the one finished with Crystal Effects. Love to rub my hands on the card and feel the bubbles.Can't wait to do more with Crystal effects.I have to explore the wide world to find out what more can be done with Crystal Effects. I am loving this product.
Off to explore more.

A quick and simple card

Hi everybody,

Today, there are some important changes made by Stampin' Up! in their IDA.
So I have to make some changes accordingly.That means I have to give up on a few things. Its hard but I have to make the decision. Will let you know what it is later in the week.

This morning, I was trying out a new technique. It did not work out but I ended up with a card which is just beautiful and glossy. I cut the glossy cardstock into the size to fit my card base. I then brayered the glossy cardstock with Kiwi Kiss and let it dry for 10 minutes.Then I stamped Fifth Floral Avenue flowers at an angle and used "Thanks so much" stamp from Sincere Salutation set. I then simply mounted the glossy stamped cardstock on the Pink Pirouette card base. Here is the card

I love these flowers from Fifth Floral Avenue. I like the glossy effect on the card.I hope you can see it on the photo! I am currently loving simple and clean cards ATM. I have another set I am making using White craft ink pad and Kindered Spirit stamp set. Will load them tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by
