Sending BIG Hugs!


Hello Everybody,

Long time no see! I cannot believe that I have not posted since last Thursday! Life became busy with baby sitting friend's son from boarding school over the weekend, Aditi being sick yesterday and cleaning and entertaining a bunch of medical students this evening! But I have been making plenty of cards which I will share in the coming days.

But first, I am doing happy dancing right now:) After a very long time I won a challenge:) My card won the Queen of Couture for Runaway Challenge #33. Oh! what a feeling? Love it! Thank you so much RIC Team!



Then I went through the new Runaway Inspired challenge #34 and made a card for it too:)
Here is the photo for you.




Love the black and white theme with a dash of red. Moreover I am also inspired by the one sided print.
Here is what I came up with.


I love the big leaves from Woodgrain Silhouette Additions stamp set from Wplus9 They were perfect to get the bold image on one side of the card front. I have added the dash of red by stamping the sentiment in red. The sentiment also coordinates with the big solid leaves. The sentiment is from Big Greetings stamp set from MFT.

Hope you like my card. Thanks for stoppping by!

Ta!

CAS(E) this Sketch #23


Hello and welcome to CAS(E) this sketch challenge #23
Here is the new sketch for you.



This sketch is by Chrissy Larson. Angle stamping is trend at the moment. So this is one great sketch.

I did not do any stamping on this card. It is all pattern paper and stickers.


These pattern papers and the sticker are from Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Collection. The cardstock is Scarlet Jewel  cardstock from PTI. This is one of those 10 minute card. Quick and easy to make.


Want to know what the rest of the design teams have done with the sketch? Please visit CAS(E) this Sketch challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by!

G' night from Australia!

It is the reveal day today @ Uniko Studio's April New Release.
Come and Celebrate with me!



First of all, here is the beautiful flower set called Flower Power #1


A beautiful set with elegant sentiments. Here is my card using the Flower Power #1


I stamped the flower images to make my background for the card front. Then used the same image  as the focus as well. This set is great to make tags as well.

Next, here are the dies for Bright Butterflies stamp set.


And the Chrysanthemum digital pattern paper.


And here is the Background Builder: Round In Circles stamp set.

This is a card made using the Bright Butterflies dies, BB: Round in Circles stamp set and Chrysanthemum digital paper.


The sentiment is from Bright Butterflies stamp set. I love using pattern papers to die cut, especially butterflies. They look so pretty. Don't you think?

Then, here is the Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum Stamp Set

And a card made using Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum Stamp Set.


I LOVE this set. Beautiful flowers in two sizes both in solid image and outline image. Great for layered stamping, colouring, CAS, embossing, paper piecing and just as a focal image as I have done.  This is a must have for me.

Finally, there are the other new releases today.

Gorgeous fonts and great size too:)

Wplus9 Mood Board #8


Hey everybody,

I finally found time to play Wplus9's Mood Boards. I have been looking at them and wanting to play along but TIME is a major factor for me. Anyway, this mood board is so pretty, that I let everything else wait. First here is the Mood Board #8 for you.



I am inspired by the water colour flowers and square images with the small green banner against the white background. So here is my card.


I have used Mother's Day Bouquet and Country Charm stamp set from Wplus9 and Mister Huey colours to get the water coloured effect. I have also stamped the flower image on top of the water colour image. Love love the watercolour effect this gives. The sentiment is from Quite Like You stamp set.

Thanks Dawn for the beautiful mood boards you have been creating every week. Hopefully I this will be a great start and I will play regularly:)

Thanks for stopping by!

Ta!

Welcome to Day #5 of of Uniko Studio's April New Release Preview.

Photobucket


We are previewing a beautiful flower set and coordinating digital paper. This set is called Pure Florals Chrysanthemum clear stamp set and Chrysanthemum digital pattern paper.Here is a card I made using the Chrysanthemum clear stamp set.


I have stamped the large Chrysanthemum solid flower image in coral colour and leaves in aqua colour. I have also spattered blue and coral coloured Mister Huey. Love love the double font concept in sentiments and that beautiful font of the anniversary. I have also added some gold glitter tape on the background. My favourite colour combination at the moment is coral, aqua and gold. So beautiful together. I also love love the glossy enamel dots as accents.
This is another beautiful floral set from Uniko Studio. Today is the last day of previewing the stamps and paper. Tomorrow is the full reveal and release. This release is fantastic. I love all of them.
