ATSM #154

Good morning everyone, this is a scheduled post for today's challenge at ATSM. I am still away for my studies,  preparing to write the theory exams 27th onwards over a stretch of next 2 weeks. Kiddos are surely getting all their rest for their summer vacations.

OK this week it is CAS challenge, my favorite. 

We have 2 lovely sponsors for the challenge.

I made a simple card choosing a white base and a purple front. I first die cut the front and masked and stamped some flowers from mama elephant - freestyle floral. I used white color pencil to softly  color the flowers and greens for the leaves. Few rhinestones and a simple  sentiment to finish off. Hope you all like this card.

Do join us with your CAS  creations, and  I am sorry in advance for not being able to comment on anyone's entries. 

Have a great day everyone! 

ATSM #152

Hello everyone,  it's time for  another challenge at ATSM  today, and  today it is Make your Mark. You can use anything to make your mark, be it markers, brush, sewing.

Our sponsor is Sweet Pea Stamps today. 

I made this card using my latest craze of twine stamping. I simply added the twine on a double sided tape in a circular fashion and ink it up and stamped it randomly.  The butterflies are sponged using a left over die cut paper piece.

I finished it off with a shaded twine.

The sentiment is from Uniko Studios - simply said birthday.

A little update from me, as you all know I am in India for the  summer  vacations.  I am  attending the  college big time and going in for my final practical exams tomorrow onwards.

It is a super busy time with writing final lesson plans and completing my records and all and the final theory exams from 27th July. 

That's all from me.

Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind  feedback :) Have a great day!

CAS with stencil

Hello all, I am sharing a card which I made a couple of days before, but never had a chance to share. Life is pretty hectic nowadays, with packing and school finishing tomorrow, and gearing up for my summer, which will be a busy one with college, studies, and exams *phew*
I will be away from my blog for a good couple of weeks except some scheduled posts for the Challenge blog.

Ok onto the card now, it is one layered card, I used Heidi Swapp's honeycomb stencil in yellow and brown ink  just on the top and bottom edges, and the stamped the sentiment from STAMPlorations - trendy feathers, added a few rhine stones to finish off. A very simple card.

ATSM #150

Good morning all, its time a new challenge at ATSM today, and it is a photo inspiration challenge.

Isn't it a beautiful photo?

Our sponsor today is

http://www.sweetpeastamps.com/

Prize is 4 digis from the store

I was inspired by the watercolored look and the gorgeous colors from the photo. I used water color markers, and stenciled some circles, and then sprayed some water over and moved around the card stock to get the water running.
I stamped the ME flower on the circles, and the sentiment is stamped in vintage photo ink. I added some splatters with the same color on the card, it is a one layered card. hope you like it water color is not my usual thing to try.

Stop by our challenge blog, The DT's have come up with some great inspiration for you all, and do join us.

Twine stamping #2

Hey all, I am back with the twine stamping, I told you that i will be experimenting with this. I used a circle shape this time on a double sided tape, simply added the string as a circle and inked up and did the stamping.
I used the Rangers Distress inks - ripe permission for the twine stamping, and I had used some leaves from WPlus Designs - embroidered bouquet in crushed olives, and some french knots in peacock feathers ink.
I added a die cut butterfly, inked this up in blue and black pigment ink. The sentiment is also from the WPlusDesigns set.

A picture of my twine wrapped on the double sided tape.

I am going with both the picture as well as the sketch, just flipped it upside down.

Addicted to CAS
I know there is no white space here, but the background is pretty plain, so trying to push through ;)

Throwback Thursdays
I really like how the background was created here, so used something with my spin on it.

Heart framed chevrons

Hey friends, a quick share. I just finished this card.
I was inspired by the Paper Smooches challenge and the technique challenge at Just Us girls for this card.
I started with sponging chevrons on a rectangled stitched die cut panel, I used Heidi swapp's chevron stencil for this. I then used Paper Smooches wise die - love word, and used it on different card stocks to get the stacks.
Then I stamped the background base with sweet heart stamps from Paper Smooches again, in a yellow neon ink from Hero Arts, in different styled hearts.
Lastly I put together the stacks on the front, and done, didn't felt like adding any embellishments here.
This card looks more like a frame and not my usual card ;)

Paper Smooches Sparks
I was inspired by the Chevron box, and lid, that's why I used a stacked die cut technique to mimic the look here

Some more sponging

Hey all, I am back again with 2 cards, I did some sponging yet again today.
 For the first one, I started with sponging the distress ink - stormy sky to the edge, and I sponged some balloons in different inks on the sky, and stamped the sentiment from Uniko Studio - simply said birthday.
Very Simple card.

CASology
Just going with some balloons, when I read the cue, 2 things came to mind - balloons & bubbles.

 I am linking this at ATSM for our challenge blog , it is our 3rd anniversary, do join us for our CAS challenge.
-----------------------------


For the second one, I used a handmade striped stencil, and sponged with 2 inks for the front, and then I used a gold gel pen to draw lines by moving the stencil, a bit. I also added another tiny circular stamp with dots on the striped panels.
I added some doliy to the edge, and added the hand drawn and fuzzy cut tea cup. The sentiment is from Mama Elephants - water blooms.

 

I drew this cup using some oval stencils, and colored and fuzzy cut it to use on the card.

One layer cards

Hey all, I am up 2 one layer cards, one was made a few days back and the other one I made this morning. I am occupied with so many things nowadays that I don't find enough time to blog or share what I created.

The first one up is made using a circle stencil, I simply colored the circles in rainbow colors using different sizes of circles, and stamped the sentiment from Avery Elle - handwritten notes.
