"CASE"ing Therese Calvird

I was determined to CASE Therese's card on the TIME OUT challenges-Challenge#60. I am making a last minute entry into it.

This is her card, isn't it beautiful.

I was inspired by the stripped background, flowers and effective use of colors. Here is my version.....

 

I created the stripped background using border stamp with versamark ink and then used distress ink for the background. Stamped the flowers, used water color to add some color and fuzzy cut it. On the panel added the flowers, stamped the sentiment and few rhinestones. Finally adhered the panel on the colored cardstock.

Hopefully I did justice in CASE-ing Therese's card.

On another note, we went for lunch and there was this beautiful flower on the table, could not resist to take a picture of it. Signing off with this beautiful picture. Have a great day!!!

Colourful background card

Hello...welcome back to my blog. Today I am posting on a weekday, little unusual for me :)

I wanted to make use of stamps which I don't get to use much. There are quite a few which I have but not have used even once! So today's plan was use the unused.

I used a frame stamp to create the background using all the colors I possibly could use. Finished off with a simple sentiment.

Supplies used:
SSS "You can do anything" stamp set for the background
SSS "Big Birthday Wishes" for the sentiment
Ranger white embossing folder

CAS Birthday Card

Hi there....hope you are having a great weekend. I wanted to play along few of the challenges and made this card.

It's very simple one. I have used different distress colors to create the background using stamp. Then added a candle over it and put the sentiment. This was done very quick. I was very tempted to mount this on a embossed or a colored cardstock but wanted to keep all white and keeping focus on the design.

Supplies used:
Inspired by Stamping "Friends Forever" for background
Simon Says Stamp for candle and sentiment
Tim Holtz distress inks
Memento tuxedo black ink

Stencil cards

Hello friends, welcome back!! I have never posted back to back but this time I am surprising myself. This would be third consecutive day for my post!

Today I played along with my stencil and I loved it! First one came out so well that I made another one as well.

Here we go.....

First made the background with Tim Holtz distress ink and then using stencil made the butterfly and the leaves. Added sentiment from SSS You Can Do Anything stamp set.

 This I mounted on a black card base and then on the distressed white card stock. Finished off with the twine. The black cardstock has a flap so that underneath message can be written.

Card with Spotlight Technique

I usually do not post on weekday but today is an exception. I had some time in hand and made this card using spotlight technique.

First I stamped the image of the flowers from Inspired By Stamping stamp set. Then highlighted the topmost portion of the image using another piece of cardstock overlapping the underlying image.
Using a pen created faux stitching on both the highlighted panel and the base cardstock.
Background is created using ghosting technique with versamark resist. Those little hearts are from SSS Heartfelt Notes set. Coloring is done by Tim Holtz distress ink and sentiment is from Mudra stamps using Memento tuxedo black ink.

Mounted this on a green card base.

Usually spotlight technique has highlight on a very small portion of the image and mine is almost 50% of the image still I wanted to make it this way.

A closer view

Do let me know your thoughts on my wok it helps me a lot.
