A Floral Fridge Magnet

Hello friends,

Here is the second keepsake for the day again made from the wooden MDF Frame.

 I finally have used  the Prima Lyric papers stashed for a long time.For the rose cluster i have used my brand new CL Gardenia and Leaf Strip Dies. I have also made rosebuds from the gardenia die, the green calyx underneath is from the CL medium rose die,  rose making has become so easy -thanks to this die. The frame has been distressed with Dried Marigold , since it goes so well with the Prima Lyric colours. For the red rose i have moistened a red handmade paper with the Ruby red Mist , it makes the bloom looks so vibrant and afresh . All the flowers have been sprinkled with the chunky Crystal Dust Transparent glitter , doesn't it look just like dew drops ?

 Here is a closer look at the blooms with the crystal glitter -

Thats it from me , Thanks for stopping by , Love to see your comments!

A Forever Card

Hello everyone,

This is my inspirational card for the DCAM Challenge No 2 where the ongoing theme is "Shabby is Chic"
Here is how it looks-

I started the card with the black linen textured card stock from Die Cuts & More , i think it gives a very sturdy base to a project. Lots of intricate dies from Memory Box and Cheery Lynn have gone into this card !The delicate swirls and the gorgeous heart are all Memory Box dies , Die Cuts & More has an amazing and a huge collection of these beauties . And yes best of all the Cheery Lynn Sweet Williams strip,it a must add die if you love making handmade flowers .

Here's a closeup-

I wanted to use this antique watch which i fussy cut from the Prima Engraver Papers , apart from giving a vintage touch it also adds as an embellishment.The background on which the sentiment pieces have been stamped have been distressed with Frayed Burlap, Antique linen and some gesso.And finally i have added the CL Medium Exotic Butterfly to finish the card.

The blooms have been colored with Spun Sugar distress marker with the white center pollen from Die Cuts and More .

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

An Altered Frame

Hello friends,

Today i am sharing an Altered Frame as an inspiration for the current Challenge No 2 # Shabby is Chic at DCAM Challenges.Here is how it looks -

For the base i started with a frame from an old forgotten wedding invitation lying in my stash .I painted it with gesso mixed with the soon to be launched Crushed Strawberry Mist from Die Cuts & More for that shabby look. I had fun layering the images from the gorgeous Fairy Rhyme papers .Aren't these papers just adorable ?

When i cut them i decided to include the ballerina and the Bird cage with the flourishes around them. It did take some effort and careful fussy cutting but the effort was totally worth it ! Got to say the images on paper look just as beautiful as in pieces !

Here's a closeup on the big chrysanthemum bloom which is made from the Memory Box Lovely asters die,it gives a set of 3 layered flowers and leaves in one go ,with amazingly delicate petals ! The Bloom has been coloured with Lindy's Autumn Magicals 'Autumn Maple Crimson ' -The tiny flourishes are from the Cheery Lynn fanciful flourish coloured with Peeled Paint distress ink .

Added the silver diamante in the center for a lovely accent .The shaded small lavender roses are from the MFT Royal Rose die coloured with Spun Sugar distress ink .Instead of just rolling them tightly , i have scrunched and loosely rolled them for the shabby look . The Mulberry roses and the other embellies are from my stash .I have placed the Chrysanthemum on a a lacy rosette and have added some white netting for detail.

Thanks for Passing by ,Would love to hear from you ! 

Have a lovely day ahead !

A Floral Tag

Hi,

This has been a great month for me , absolutely happy to share that my 2 projects made it as winners in 2 challenges, really helps me to get my MOJO back !!!
Here's my latest inspiration for the ongoing DCAM Challenge No 1# ' Anything Goes with a Handmade Flower '-

I just love the look of these vibrant mists on the background .To create this background , first i randomly misted a transparency with True Turquoise and Emerald Green mists , followed by some water drops to help the colours lighten. Once done I lightly pressed the tag on it. Than using the Tim Holtz water brush I simply coloured the white areas with diluted Amethyst purple mist .After heat setting it i stamped some areas with the Kaisercraft script stamp in black versafine ink.

Now here's a closer look -

The center bloom made with the Cheery Lynn Sweet williams die has been misted with Amethyst Purple mist. Just by adding water you can lighten or deepen the colour of the mist to achive the desired shade. I have added fussy cut elements like the black leaves and the flower from the gorgeous Prima Engraver papers . Also notice the bottom MS Wildflower border which has been misted with a light Turquoise Blue mist .

Working with the Mist-eries is Messy, but there is so much fun and the possibilities are endless :) I absolutely adore the vibrancy of the colours !
Thats it from me , and hope you like my Tag , Would love to hear your comments ! Happy Crafting

Sweet Williams Card

Hello friends ,

Here's a pink creation from me after a long time , its blooms and butterflies again , these are inspired by the blooms from my garden .

Firstly i must admit that i am totally hooked on to the CL sweet williams die, i have used it in almost all my posts for this month.

Here 's is how my card looks -

For the center frame i have covered it with a coat of gesso mixed with raspberry ink and than heat embossed it with Lindy's hibiscus rose embossing powder . I have added the lovely fairytale door charm and the gorgeous sheer ribbon to complete the card.

Here's a closeup of the flowers -

For the flowers i have tried to add depth by using mists, gesso and LSG magicals too !

 I have used a mix of ruby red , citrine orange and topaz yellow from the Misteries and covered them with studio gesso and especially painted the edges with a brush ! And finally added pollens from my stash ! Phew creating this flowers has really been a hectic task , nevertheless i am extremely satisfies with the way they have turned out , Hope you like them too!

A Gorjuss Card

Hi friends,

I am back with another inspiration for the DCAM challenges where the current theme is ' Anything goes with a Handmade flower '. Here's how the card looks -
Since i wanted to use the colour combo of Brown , Turquoise and neutrals i choose the Prima Lifetime papers ,simply adore this collection .

Here's a closeup of the gal -

Aren't these Gorjuss dolls just very different i mean cute yet with lots of attitude? I have used the stamp called' I Found My Family in a Book 'here.


As you can see the layout is pretty simple ,since i was totally into colouring this gorjuss gal, yes i had fun colouring her up for sure !
The hair and the skin has been done with some yummy alcohol markers and prisma pencils .

Now a closer look at the flowers-

I wanted the base layer of the flowers to look ruffled and very white so for that i have used thin white cupcake liner papers:) The rest of the embellies are from my stash .

So how do you like my card ?
