A Card with Textures

Hello friends,
This is my Inspiration Card for the ongoing DCAM Challenge  No 3 # Photo Inspiration.


Here is my card which i have made using lots of textures and distressing , and this is how it looks-
I started the card with a base pp , and layered it with another one which i have created using the Crafters Workshop stencil Damask using the Modelling paste and gesso, here 's a closer look -
And i have distressed it with some gold and pink chalk ink , loved the effect it has created ! (My first attempt at paper stitching on the borders , not so neat so please ignore that ). DieCuts & More has an updated stock of these magical stencils , you can check them out here.



The delicate oval die frame is from the Memory Box Palace Oval Frame set , which i have layered on the Floral oval diecut.I have added a ruffled lace as borders on both the sides of the pp. Finally added some textures and mulberry daisies from my stash and finished the card-





The sentiment label is handcut and i have moistened and crinkled the edges and added some chunky crystal glitters at the edges. I have rubbed all the edges of the cardstock with Vintage Photo distress ink.
Thats it from me , so how do you like my card , do leave your comments would love to hear from you all.

Tea Light Holder

Hi everyone,

This is my inspiration for the DCAM  Challenge No 3 # Photo Inspiration!Here is how it looks-
I have also posted a detailed tutorial on this , can be found here


These can be used as dinner table centerpieces ,they can add a beautiful glow with the flicker of the tea light with the lights out. They can also be make a great gifting option for any sweet treats or favours

 On the inside i have covered the windows with white netting and a lattice frame . The layered pale pink flowers are from the MB Cherry blossoms set. The French Lily Corners have been misted with the Pearlescent strawberry Mist , doesn't it just give a gorgeous shimmer along with the pink hue ?
Have also added the Crystal Dust Transparent glitter , you can see here closely -





And this is how it looks with the tea light inside -

Blue n White Card

Hello friends,

This card is my inspiration for the ongoing DCAM Challenge no 3 # Photo Inspiration , here 's how it looks-

 I started the card first by creating the blooms which are both from the CL Gardenia strip die , with the icy blue colour from the blue Mist-tries . Can you imagine the number of layers i have added to get the floral effect in white right , its totally seven layers from the base to the sentiment ! LOL .
Here's a closeup-

 A side view of the blooms and the buds -
 have used the gorgeous MS Wildflowers Punch here on a 8 by 8 inched square cardstock. The 2nd layer of the wildflower borders that i have added on the square have been embossed with gesso using the Darice woodgrain embossing folder to get the whitey white effect .Finally i have layered the intricate Sophia's Heart doily on another blue one from my stash .

Also i have placed underneath a lacy circle diecut from a white lace doily . And have finished the card with the blooms on the Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish on both sides of the sentiment .So how do you like my card , would love to hear your thoughts !
