Hey you!

I have a doodlicious card for you today! It is based on the sketch at Skipping Stones and both the challenges Ujjwal is guest designing at (Yvonne’s and Crafty JC).

Here is my card:

My card is inspired by THIS card of Latisha Yoast.

The lines and the apple both are hand drawn. The sentiment is handwritten. The cute self adhesive rhinestone hearts at top right are from PIE LANE, you can visit their Facebook page HERE.

I have never used this embossing folder, it is way too small. The folder’s pattern ends way before the embossing folder ends. There was a mix up and I used this numbers folder instead of the one intended for this card. Both the Kraft layers are distressed with Color Queue lava black ink (almost drying out!). Hope you like my doodling!

My Dad is A Hero… and birthday RAK

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GINGERLOFT ASIAN INSPIRATION BLOG HOP CLICK HERE

 

 

Hello everyone!

Hope you guys are kickin! I have a masculine card for you today!! WOOT WOOT! Accomplishment! LOL and I have to show you my very first birthday RAK too. First on with the card which is based on the sketch at Card Patterns.

 

Can you see that the texty paper I have used is a actually from a newspaper? It is from the business section :P I have coloured and distressed the newspaper with watercolours and added faux stitching to it.

The stars you see are hand drawn, cut, coloured with gold marker, distressed with brown marker plus my good ol finger and then embossed!

I ran gold net and jute string behind the centre embellishment to comply with the sketch. The sentiment is the same one I gave as freebie in my last post. I think the sentiment is great for dads who are in Forces (armed, air, navy.. you get the point).

I have coloured over my printed sentiment (the bold words) with colour pencils to give it a stamped look. I have also added a few lines etc using Photoshop for a grungy effect.

 

BIRTHDAY RAK:

Now on to the RAK. Can you believe this is the first ever birthday RAK I got? And oh my, I felt so good.. SO GOOD!

Here is the card and stuff Spardha sent my way…

And sweet love from Shubhra

Thank you girls, you made my day! I can never thank you guys enough.

Hugs

Linky Party: Make it Monday

Colour Splash!

Hi everyone, the card that I have to show you today is based on the sketch at Mojo Monday and colour splash+no DP challenge at ICR.

                                                             

The flower is handmade and I have added a button as flower centre. I hope you can see the bow. The glittery ribbon used to tie the bow is also added underneath the shaded grey lace.

I have used both sides of the embossed panels. Ooh you can see me in the biggest rhinestone… ROFL I look like a cobra!

Flashback Friday 12.0 (summer colours)

Hi everyone! Hope all of you are well. As I am in no mood to make cards, I thought I’d play this week’s Flashback challenge which is to show your very first summer colour card.

I wanted a super quick and cute card, this is what I came up with back in October 2008. Nothing much to say about this card… back then I didn't have stamps and I drew everything myself, this doodling too is done by moi :) 

Playing in Flashback challenges has brought up so many things from the past… how I did almost everything from scratch and how much I used to doodle. Most of you, new followers, don’t know this… but I used to doodle a lot… drew several medallion designs too, will post one of the medallion cards soon.

That’s it for now!

happy crafting peeps

Gingerloft – Tie a yellow ribbon

Hello everyone! I hope you guys are well…  It’s time again for another challenge at Gingerloft and this time the theme is “Tie a Yellow Ribbon”. You have until June 11 at midnight to play our yellow ribbon challenge.  The random winner will receive 3 digs of their choice from the Gingerloft store and the top 3 will be asked to be the GDT.

My inspiration for the colour palette is this image from Pinterest.

I have been making quite a few of these lil wall hangings lately. They look cute. The sentiment is from the Tire Swing Set at Gingerloft.

The flowers are handmade, except for those tiny four petal ones. The yellow rhinestones are from Pie Lane. These are self adhesive rhinestones. They were so easy to stick, no messy gluey stuff on them see!  You can visit Pie Lane’s Facebook page HERE. They have some really amazing stuff in their Shop… do check out the Silhouettes they have to offer (amazeballs)!

Ok guys our next challenge is our Asian Inspiration blog hop challenge (with quite a few prizes along the way), please check out this post HERE for the nitty gritty.

I hope you like the mini wall hanging. Don't forget to stop by the links I have mentioned… you will be missing a lot if you skip the links.

Happy crafting!!!

xoxo
