My First...

Before reading today's post you MUST check THIS post.

The card you just saw was my very first creation and a first attempt at an inspiration challenge... or any challenge for that matter! It was also my first card post! I didn't even know how to take a good picture back then! I thought that I should remake the card. Here it is!

I drew the design the first time after a very long time... and I am drawing since... :o)

Ringo!

Hey peepz how are all of you doing? I have not been making a lot of cards lately. I was taking a break... and now I will be getting back to work.

The card that I have to show you today is different because I used one of the punches that Steph sent me. It was basically a buckle punch, I just cut out the middle part to make it into a ring.

The rings are glittered heavily with red glitter. I used a contrasting colour such as red because the grey was looking very dull alone, but I must tell you this that IT IS a beautiful grey!

You can see here that I have stitched the grey flap with a red thread and the red flap has a faux black stitching.

I have also shaded both the red and grey flap with grey and black colour pencils.

Wanted to play around with the ribbon, I guess the sparkle of the rings just wasn't enough for me! :o)

This card is better looking in real life.

Christmas Cards

Here are two very quick Christmas cards. I tried stamps! Stamps that Steph sent me. I inked em up with my regular markers.

I did not do a lot of stuff with these cards and I really wanted to do lots. But I thought I should just try working with the stamps first.

I have also added some green sequence to give it a lil bling.

BearyBox Sketch# 7

I didn't post for two consecutive weeks! And both the sketches that I missed out on were great, I will be working on them in the near future. Here is what I have to show you today.

You should play along, the sketch is great as always. This time around BearyBox is giving away a $10 gift certificate. You can use it to shop at BearyBox, the store.

The Invitations are READY!

It’s been a while since I have posted. Today I will be showing you guys the Anniversary Invites I have been talking about. In case you don’t remember, it’s my friend Sofia’s FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY and I am making her these sparkly invitations.
I made total 130 of these and I never thought making 130 cards could be so tiring!

I think if I had punches for the flower and something to automatically cut the swirls that would have helped- A LOT. This is a small 5x5 circular hanging card with a 6x6 bag to go with.

I drew all 360 flowers and applied glitter after cutting them. All the cards have different shaped swirls. I didn’t make a template because I like to draw them freehand. The sequins and glitter dots helps to fill in the empty space.

Here is the inside. We printed the text ourselves, applied silver glitter to give it a pretty look.

The tag that is hanging says; “It’s an anniversary invitation, come celebrate with Sofia & Naveed”. At the back of this tag she is going to write the name of the person that the invite will be delivered to.

Now I am off to cleanup the mess of sequins, glitter, organza threads and lots of glue threads from my room!
