A Valentine Wish

Hi,

A new card with my favourite pastel colours ,here 's how it looks -
Well i have tried to keep the colour palette soft and shabby , lots of CL dies have gone into this one.I love the victorian velvet distress stain shade , works so beautiful on colouring roses.

The green foliage is made from the petals of the CL stacker 4 flower die,coloured with shabby shutters distress stain.I have used the corner die differently as a border embellishment .I have used the CL Princess Garden window frame coloured with Distress stain evergreen borough , the roses are made using the CL Gardenia strip ...hope they have come out well !

The sentiment is from Penny Black and the pretty papers are from Bo Bunny and DCVW .And i have added the pearl string to hold the gorgeous CL bird cage , love this die a lot !
Thats it from you ,thanks for stopping by , hope you like my card , would love to hear from you ! Good day !

A Criss Cross Card

Hello friends,

This is my first attempt at a criss cross card and got to say its fun to make this.Well i have gone back to the basics again and for this card i have gone pastel and used one of my favourite colour combo pink and green

So with much ado , here's my card -

I have added an insert card for the sentiment piece and decorated it using floral ovals and the pretty MS Doily lace punch.

 The colouring is done with Distress markers and copics and i have outlined both the images with the fine tipped spectra brown marker , this is also great in highlighting hair as well.The sparkle on the flowers is from the crystal dust glitter by DCAM .The edges on the pink background piece and the big center bloom have been brushed with the pearlescent strawberry mist , doesnt it add a lovely glow ?

Thats it from me , hope you like my card , would love to hear from you ! Thanks for stopping by , Have a great day ahead !

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 -

Thanks for stopping by , Hope you like it , Would love to hear from you !

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 !
