Beary Box Sketch# 3

It's already sketch# 3 at Beary Box and I don't see any of MY friends taking part! :p I'm not liking it! LOL

You should know that BearyBox would like to give this week's winner a Clear Stamp Sets {Trims-n-Things} from Sassafras Lass.

Anyway, here is today's card.

Yes I know I am going all silvery and pretty, but winters are approaching!

OOh yeah, I forgot to tell ya guys... somebody went shoppinnnnn! ;o) I got some great colours... brights and dulls both. So you will be seeing new colours in the future, hopefully.

The butterfly is hand drawn, the design is embossed using embossing paste and silver glitter. I added a bit of white glitter in some places. I added little diamontes which I recently got. Oh, the balls are Styrofoam balls. These are used in gift wrapping and stuff--- like fillers in a gift box.

I have glittered em up in white glitter. I have even gittlered up the circle on which the butterfly is resting.

This is made using a threaded sequin dori. It's so shimmery and just "oh-so-beautiful"!

Love it! Actually I bought it for my dress, but I thought it will look better here! This usually happens, most of the stuff lands somewhere in card making instead of being used where it was meant to be.

I added some vertical lines in the bottom half of the card; I didn't want to continue the same swirl pattern. I have even added some glittered white net in the middle part. Just to give this card a softer look. The glitter on the net is showing here in the picture. Here they look like dirty dots of some grey colour! LOL

Envelopes

So you guys know that I Photoshop. Here are a few customized envelopes that I designed for my friend and her in laws. I thought I’d share them with all of you as I got a very good response from everyone (even the person who printed these).

I have been collecting Photoshop brushes since quite sometime, helps me loads in designing. I would not have been able to make these if I didn’t have such beautiful brushes which are designed by some really talented people.

I even designed her wedding card, which was a first for me. It's her first anniversary on December 31st,08 and she has asked me to make 100+ invitations. She likes THIS card, but obviously this is just too much. We will be reducing the number of flowers to just three and also the card will just be 5x5 (circle).

I am very tired and busy drawing, cutting and embossing the flowers. I really don't have the energy to make other cards. This is the reason I am not posting any new cards apart from the cards that I make for Beary Box.

Beary Box Sketch# 2

Alrighty! Its time for Beary Box’s sketch# 2 and the time to reveal what that glittery thing is! I have two good news! First let’s just start with telling you what I used………
I used GLUE GUN to create this!

Daniel Askeland said:
“Think it some kind of hot glue, poured on the paper, and tilted so that you get that effect..Then you poured some glitter on it... ;P”

Ooohh he guessed it just right!

I got this text from Daniel’s blog: “Hello, I am a 16 year old boy, from Norway. I consider my self a cardmaker just as much as a scrapbooker, and like both hobbies a lot. And that is what I’ll display here in my blog. I’ve just started my second year at High School, Media and Communication.”

Majority of you did guess glue so I didn’t want to leave you guys just like that. I thought I could make one extra card! So I copied the names of everyone who said glue and randomly picked out a number.
The other lucky person is Carol!

The second good news is BearyBox is GIVING AWAY $15US worth of Gift Certificate for you! You can use it at www.bearybox.com (shop). Please checkout all the nitty gritty details HERE.

Today’s card is simple. LOL! By simple I meant it only uses single layer of card stock. I just wanted a touch of glitter but the glitter bottle slipped from my hand. It’s pretty difficult handling the glue gun and glitter together!

The blooms are hand drawn. This is a new shape of flower that I drew just before making this card. The paper swirl is also hand drawn. Note that I didn’t use any outline this time for the swirl… I had to cut it so neatly! I didn’t want to add an outline cuz this is just too much glitter baby!

Oh! Did you see my faux brads! LOL

P.S: As promised I have kept the card blank, hence no sentiment.
