Guest Designer - ICRC27

Hello Friends!

As the title suggests I am sharing with you the cards I made for  ICRC27. I was among the top three at ICRC25 for this calendar & invited to design for the current theme - one layered card + repeated stamping. Super exited as this happens to be my first GD post!!!

In this first card the background is distressed, followed by repeated stamping.

Entering this card to Polka Doodle Challenge -Week 10 & Fab n funky Challenge#162

For the second card I first stamped on the CS with Versamark Watermark Ink & then created the background with soft pastels. This gave me the colored images. The images in black were then stamped over the background. 

Sharing this card at LadyBug Crafts - March Challenge.

Shoe Shaped Candy Holder with a Mini Easel Card

Hello friends, am back again with a new creation for this months theme......LOVE.

This time I made a very very girly candy box in pink, shaped like a high heel shoe.........yes you read it right a shoe. Used this shoe template, slightly modified the toebox. 

This is my candy box.......isn't it all pretty gorgeous in glittery pink? My daughters just cherished this & want a real shoe just like this one!!!! 

The heel can hold candies like this...........

I have used parchment paper for the toebox, embellished with a single layered flower & some bling.

Made the insole using double sided PP. Have added a mini easel card, for which I used the other side of the PP. Here's a look at the card.

Looks complicated but trust me its really easy peasy to make.

A card in RED & WHITE

Hello friends hope u are all doing fine.

With so much LOVE in the air.............& challenges too :-), if I had a palette from which to create something the obvious choice of colors.........RED - for love & passion and WHITE - for purity.

The flower was stamped on white card stock, fuzzy cut & colored. Added a bit of dimension to the flower with red seed beads  & dabbed some glossy ascent over for the gloss.

The fairy.............she sits on the flower showering love.........as if reminding, 

"Once in a while right in the middle of ordinary life, LOVE gives us a fairytale."

A Star shaped card

Hello friends,
Here's a second post from me today.
Its a star shaped card with a fancy fold but very quick & easy to make. The template for this card is easily available on the internet ( I used this link).

This is how the card opens. I love the shimmering heart border used in the inside & the tiny hearts scattered all over were remains from border....................too cute not to be used!!!!!

The other side of the card - a perfect STAR
