Acetate Card

Good Morning.............it is so wonderful to have you visit here again.

Catchy Challenges is back with a new transformed look, lots of inspiration & a new name - CSCC - Create Something Catchy Challenge. Hop over to the blog here for deets & don't miss the new fun batches! For this months challenge Deepti has challenge us to create a card inspired by this picture -

This is my card - 

I loved the challenge colors & the pattern paper (layered over black card stock) is so close to the colors in the picture. The front of the card is acetate & the washi tape border & the intricate die cut were enough to decorate the panel. The sentiment is glued to the inside of the card.

A Book Box

Hello Crafty Ladies!

I am back with another box (you can find the double slider vintage box here) made following the tutorial here. Enjoying making these gift boxes as they serve the dual purpose of a card & also can hold a gift. This box was made for a crafty friend & I hope she likes it. 

I started with brown card stock to make the box which was then layered with coordinating PP & embellishments. 

The box also has a pocket to hold a tag & a faux frame which can hold a small gift.

This bloom is handmade & sprayed the Lindys Gang Spray for the shimmer.....

The pattern paper & red glitter embossing powder used on the die cut are from ITSY BITSY

RAINBOW MAGIC

Hello Friends!!!
Its the first day of the month...................time for a new challenge at CATCHY CHALLENGES. Many parts of India have already received the first monsoon showers & the climate here in Bangalore is soooooo pleasant now. Its the right time to create magic with the colors of the rainbow. Well its a CATCHY challenge so a twist is a must...............use the VIBGYOR colors as a BG without a rainbow!!! Here is my inspiration for this challenge.

For the background I used a mesh & gently sponged all the seven colors randomly (memento inkpads) to create a colorful pattern, very easy peasy. The gorgeous bloom is from Itsy Bitsy. Do hop over to the challenge blog for amazing ideas by my teamies.

DT Inspiration for Catchy Challenges

Hello friends............am back after a small break to share two cards which I made as part of the design team  I recently joined - Catchy Challenges. The theme this month is to make a CAS card using anyone of the keywords - Hot/Holidays/Hello.

This is the card using the word HOT. For this one I distressed the entire embossed paper using - barn door, spiced marmalade & mustard seed. The scalloped circle is similarly distressed. I really loved the outcome..........................................it gave me the desired effect of the blazing sun that I wanted to achieve. This was then glued onto orange card stock. The sentiment is heat embossed. 

For the HELLO card I have used a butterfly stencil & distressed using - mustard seed & dusty concorde.           Used the letters for HELLO from an old magazine & glue onto a distressed (vintage photo) tag. The borders are from Pie Lane.

Please do join us at Catchy Challenges if you already haven't!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend.

Patriotic Card - Tricolor inspired

With this card I made for Catchy Challenges Season II, I have attempted to express love, respect and pride for my country. Do let me know what you think of this effort. The feathers & the blue wheel capture the spirit of our national flag. The white background with minimum embellishment symbolizes peace and purity.

Thanks for dropping by.................cheers.
