Hola!!!

Am back after a loooong vacation at India…This “Thank you” is for all the hearts who peeped into this little crafty space of mine, though i didnt publish new posts…

And to my blogger pals who generously shared about the diecutting machine, Bigshot and to invest on which dies…Thank you Sonia, Hussena, Sindhu, Nupur Priya.
Yessss….now am a proud owner of Bigshot 🙂

Coming to my card….The large rose is handmade using the super giant punch bunch Begonia and distressed with spun sugar. The flourish is distressed using Crushed olive. The pattern papers are matted on the centre of white cardstock and the flowers are kept as focal point. Large butterfly diecut is distressed with tumbled glass and added with few pearls and brads. Sentiment is stamped in versamark ink and embossed with black ep using my new Heat it tool.

Pictures are taken from my new Samsung Galaxy S4…am in love with these clear crisp images 🙂

Hope you like it!!

Two cards today with just stamping…

First card is made by stamping the lace stamp in a series on a Teal colored free digi pp. The Labels are made from stencils and sentiment is stamped on a central label. A netted feather is stamped on a white CS, distressed with distress inks, did fussy cut and added near the sentiment. This cardfront has been mounted on a white CS.

For this second card, I directly stamped the netted feather stamp at centre and smaller ones around it on a free digi pp. Rounded the top corners and added a punched strip of blue pp on the lower end and above which added a tiny bow and sentiment. The edges of the punched strip is distressed using Danube blue momento ink.

Few other shots

Below pic is the single stampset which is put to use to make these 2 cards.

Updation:

Alpha glitter stickers have been added instead of sentiment stamp, as its not included in this stamp set.
Hence this updation.

A little change in sentiments 🙂

Happy Stamping!!

A quick card from me again. This time its a rainbow colored card.

 Border stamp which i have been hoarding for a long time has been put to use at last. Made this background by stamping in series. Then i masked every portion carefully and distressed using the rainbow colors. Both distress inks and chalks are put to use here. Diecut doily is distressed at edges and added on centre of card with a punched multicolor monarch butterfly around which few pearls are embellished.  Wrapped a brown raffia around the bottom of cardfront and on it added the sentiment banner with two tiny brads. Then mounted this to the white cardbase.

Few other shots 🙂

Need a lot of practice in stamping and distressing…Hope you all like my amateurish attempts 🙂
