Guest Post for LIM

  Hello friends!

I am super excited and honoured to be invited by the team over at "Less is More"  challenge blog, as a Guest designer for their new challenge which begins today. 

It's a One Layer card challenge with cue words as "Buds and Petals"

Here is my card for the challenge inspiration.

I am using the Cherry Blossom stamp set by Pretty Pink Posh for my card. 

I did a lot of masking using the various florals and leaves from the set, to create this arrangement. 

I coloured the image using Zig clean brush markers. Stamped the sentiment

Lastly, I added some tiny dot details to the pollens of the flowers. 

Check the close-up for details.

I have kept the card pretty simple with no embellishments whatsoever. I feel the floral arrangement fills up the card pretty much, with no need for any embellishments. 

Few more clicks 

That's all from my end.

Do hop over the challenge blog to check the beautiful inspirations by the team.

 Hello friends...

Sharing a Galaxy/Space themed card today. 

I have used "To the Moon" stamp set by Create-a-Smile for making this card. 

My card!

I used various coloured distress inks to create this galaxy background. 

Splattered a few drops of water and later a few drops of white paint. 

Die-cut the panel using a circle die. Die-cut a folded panel using the same die to form the card base.

Foam mounted the distressed die-cut panel on the card base. 

Stamped the images on a watercolour paper. 

Coloured them with Zig markers and fussy cut them. 

Heat embossed the sentiment.

Assembled all the images on the card base.

Hello friends!

Sharing a card, I made using the Botanical love stamp set by Create-a-Smile

It's been a long time since I used this set. 

So, I made a card using this set for their current challenge.

Here's my card

It's a simple card with a minimum of steps.

I stamped the flowers on watercolour cardstock. Coloured them using Zig markers. I extended the stems of the flowers and coloured them as well. Fussy cut the images. On a card base, I adhere a Doily and mounted a circle die-cut over it. Stamped the sentiment. Assembled the florals on the card. Tied a twine on the stems. Lastly, added a few sequins to complete the card. 

Thank you for stopping by!

A little note - Ink#185

Hello folks,

A new game begins over at Inkspirational challenge today.

It's time for a Photo-challenge. 

Here's my card along with the Inspiration photo. 

I was inspired by the Tea-pot from the image. 

I have used the Watercolour embellishments by Itsy Bitsy. These are pre-cut floral designs in watercolour paper. Just colour and use them in your projects.

I watercoloured this floral arrangement using Zig markers. On a card base, I mounted a distressed strip of pattern paper using foam adhesive. Adhered the image over it. Stamped the sentiment. I added a few pearls to the centre of the flowers.

Here are the pictures.

Hop over the challenge blog for further inspirations.

Hello friends!!

Sharing one more CAS card with no stamped images and/or die-cuts used. 

The only stamping done here is the sentiment. 

I shared a similar card yesterday. You can check it here!

Over to my card today!

This was a super quick card which took me just under 5mins to complete. And I absolutely love the end look. This surely is going to help me while making some last minute cards.

For my card,

I added a few strips of Washi tape on a card base. I have used gold designed washi tape. Stamped the sentiment. 

And adhered the ready-to-use jute butterfly sticker embellishment by Itsy Bitsy. 

And my card was ready. Wasn't that super quick?

Few more pictures!

Dreams come true...!

Hello friends!

I am here today with a 4" x 4" mini notecard. 

This card is made without using any stamped image or any die-cuts, but a Chipboard embellishment instead. 

I made this card to play along with a few challenges.

Here's the card

I started with using Sparkle paste through the Shooting star stencil by Funky Fossils Designs to get a uniform texture on the panel. 

Next, I stamped the sentiment in place. 

Foam mounted this panel on a card base. 

Added the Dreamcatcher Chipboard by Scrapiniec to complete the card.

What a beautiful day!!

 Hello friends!

I recently got my winning goodies by Stamplorations. It has this Stitched Spring landscape die. This is so adorable with a tiny house and a bunch of trees. I decided to put it to use for my card today.   

I had a couple of challenges in my mind while making this card, so I made it suit a few of them.

My card!!

To begin with, I embossed this image on a watercolour paper. I used the embossing mat to make impressions of the die on my paper. 

Once, it was done, I used the debossed side and water-coloured the image. I did a very free/rough water colouring, without getting into the details. I stamped the sentiment and foam mounted the paper on a card base. 

That's it my card was done. 

It took approximately 10-12mins to complete my card. I had to wait a few minutes after the water colouring as the paper was wet. 

So here I link it to the following challenges -

Colourful Birthday - T4T

Hello friends!

A new card I made using a stamp set by Time for Tea designs. 

This set is called You're a Star!

Find this stamp set here in the store.

Here's my card!

No matter how many cards, you make you always fall short of Birthday cards. That's the reason, I used these splash stamp to create this colourful birthday card. 

I stamped the image repeatedly with various coloured, vibrant dye inks by LawnFawn.

Stamped the sentiment from my stash. And added two coloured and fussy cut brushes. 

Mounted this panel on a card base, with a strip of black striped paper running underneath. Lastly, added few pearl drops.
