Maple thanks

Hi everyone! How was your weekend? Mine would have been good had my little one not fallen sick. He still is his usual cheerful self which is a good thing. 

I managed to make a set of cards last week and here they are.

I used 'Maple thanks' stamp set from Neat and Tangled on all three cards. On the first one, I used Paper Smooches 'Bold Buzzwords' stamp set to create a text background. On the second one, I tried a technique showed by Jennifer Mcguire in one of ger videos to create an embossed background using the dies. I used Simon Says Stamp stitched square dies for this purpose. On the third card, I used a background builder stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays. 

Submitting all the cards to CAS-ual Fridays Challenge






Thanks for visiting!

Love
Sindhura.

Believe!

Hello everyone!

Kathy Rac's The Daily Marker 30 Day coloring challenge is a blessing for me! I can't believe it is going to end in a few days. It gave me an opportunity to take a few minutes out of my routine (much needed alone time) and colour beautiful images. Also, when I want to make cards, I can just pick a coloured image and build my card around it.  The card in this post os one such where I used a beautiful poinsettia image from Hero Arts called 'Antique Poinsettia'.

I wish to enter the challenge on 'A Blog named Hero' blog. The theme is 'Holidays'.

Also entering the Heart desires challenge. (I used all the colours)



Here is my card-

 

I stamped the background with Hero Arts background cling stamp called 'Holiday florals' on a piece of Neenah Solar white (80lb) cardstock. Assembled everything on  gold metallic cardstock. It lools gorgeous in real life. I couldn't capture the shimmery nature of the cardstock in the picture. It is from DCWV. Heat embossed the sentiment from a CAS-ual Fridays stamp set called Christmas Carols. 

Here is a closer look at the cardstock and the coloured image...


I hope you like it. I will soon see you all with a set of three cards that I made with a Neat and Tangled set and I'm excited about it. :)

See you soon... hope you are having a great weekend. Bye!

You are a blessing!

Hi,

It is me again! I made a card to participate in the Little Tangles challenge and didn't want to miss the deadline. The theme for November is CAS (Clean and Simple).
Also submitting the card to CAS-ual Fridays challenge.



Here is my card-


To make this card, I repeatedly stamped the bold sentiment from Paper Smooches in yellow colour. Then, I took another small 'thanks' sentiment from Altenew and stamped repeatedly in another colour. Also added some hearts to just be able to tell the words apart. 

The focal image is from Neat and Tangled 'Into the woods'. It is s great stamp set with adorable images and a couple of great sentiments with beautiful font. I coloured the image with zig markers, fussy cut it and then mounted it on a piece of vellum that helps to keep the background from being too overwhelming. Added the sentiment which is from an Altenew set.

I hope you like the card... Thanks for visiting again!

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a card I made for the Paper Smooches November Challenge. The theme is - Giving Thanks.

Also submitting this card to CAS-ual Fridays challenge.




To make this card, I stamped images from the Paper Smooches- 'blossoming buds' stamp set, colored them with my zig markers and fussy cut them. Then, I cut some 1/2 " strips of two different patterned papers and stuck them on a piece of cardstock to make the mackground for my focal image. I arranged the stamped and colored images in a wreath and stuck them on a piece of vellum and then stuck it on the patterned background.

Hope you like the card...

See you soon! thanks for visiting!

Dragon dreams!

Hello everyone!

So, I'm keeping the promise I made to myself that I would post regularly here. :)

Today I have a card that I made for MFT sketch challenge. I have been playing along the 30 day coloring challenge hosted by Kathy Rac on Instagram for the past couple of weeks (almost) and as a part of the challenge I colored many images (that are waiting to be mounted on cards) and the dragon image on this card is one of them.

Here is the sketch...


 And here is my card...


The adorable image is from the Magical Dragons set. The cute sentiment is from the Magical Unicorns set.

Hope to see you soon again. Thanks for stopping by!
