Sorry about the picture quality, it’s a cellphone pic. My camera has betrayed me again.

The glitter balls and silver ric rac stickers are from Pie Lane (one of our sponsors). The frame image is a photoshop brush. After printing it out, I pencil shaded the design. I finally used my DCWV glitter stack (after over an year of hoarding it I think), the black and white stripey DP. The button, gems, pearls and ribbon are from my stash.

Adore…

Hello everyone, this is going to be a quick post still have that darn migraine. The card that I have to show you today is based on the CASE Study challenge.

This headache is ruining my cards! I don't like the placement of the pink and ivory panel. The pink panel should have been visible from the left side. It would have looked better.

Those are scored lines on the caramel layer. The damask stamp is from Inkadinkadoo and sentiment from Fiskars. I added wee bit of hand stitching and lots of copper glitter balls from Pie Lane. Here’s a close up.

 

I think I will rest for a couple of days. I create when the migraine goes for a walk LOL but I think I need to just not do anything for a day at least.

Tata!

CASE-A-Diva: Betty Wright

 

Hello bloggers!!

I took a day’s break.. it was Sunday after all plus I have a migraine which was much worse yesterday. So today I am CASEing Betty Wright. Oh my goodness! I couldnt decide for a long time which of her cards to CASE, I kept drooling. Seriously. Her gallery is filled with hot, beautiful colours and awesome layering. I decided I can never make an exact CASE of her cards so I better just pick up a few elements and make my own thing. I chose the card shown below from her gallery, I will also be entering this at Wee Memories.

         

My card:

My take is a bit simpler, but I took all the elements I could take from Betty’s gorgeous card; the damask paper, fancy border, fancy bow, hearts, glitter. And NOW I notice there is a wee bit of lace trim there! What is WRONG with me! GOD!

These hearts are hand drawn, this is why they are a bit uneven. The beautiful gold glitter balls are from Pie Lane. Everything else from my stash.

Okay so be gentle on me folks. This is Betty we are talking about! I could only CASE so much! I gotta go make something for CASE Study challenge. See you tomorrow!

Crafty hugs!

CASE-A-Diva : Julie Tilman

Hello hello!

Today I am CASEing Julie Tilman! I TRIED to CASE her card shown below and I took the colour story from PDCC100.

        

Here’s my card:

I forgot to do so many things here… I thought I’d add some scoring, some yellow spatters… but FORGOT.

Can you see the gold thread over the lace and beaded ribbon? It looks really nice in person. I have placed a wooden button over the bow and then a gem button over the wooden one. Looks great, right?!

The sentiment is by Hero Arts, and frame from my Silhouette stash.

Anyhoo, details and detail shots:

The hearts were drawn free hand. These papers are from Ujjwal’s Store. I have distressed them with Archival ink in Sepia. The jumbo glitter and bronze glitter balls are from Pie Lane.

I think this flourish stamp is Inkadinkadoo. The beaded ribbon and awesome lace is from my stash.

On a sad note, I wont be getting my inks and embossing powders till FEBRUARY!!!! I am so sad :( I will however get my Silhouette blades though. Aaah lets hope Archival ink Sepia lasts till Feb!

happy crafting people!

Challenges: PDCC100, Verve, Bearly Mine, DYSU, FTR21 (vinatge tones:sepia, sentiment, flourish, archival ink, ribbon, lace, buttons,  gold thread),

Wee Memories about a Playdate with Lily Pad

*SECOND post of the day. Click HERE to view PREVIOUS card.

Sorry about the picture quality, these are cellphone pics.

Hello again, I am back with another card. I was at Ujjwal’s blog earlier drooling over her Lily Pad card. I thought I’d play along too. I was going to do a CAS card but don’t know what hit me and I decided to make this.

             

I CASEd Amy Sheffer’s card shown below for CASE-A-Diva dare.

Eeeee! I know! NOT CAS! haha I was suppose to just stick a butterfly where the flowers are but I thought I’d use some gorgeous papers from Ujjwal’s Store. In the picture above, they look REALLY orangey but they are not THAT bright. I drew the flowers very roughly, cut them up , distressed them and then rolled them.

I toned down my card a bit as compared to Amy’s card. Her cards are always filled with AMAZING details. But I tried to keep the elements same.

Details and detail shots:

I got the correct flower colours here! This shimmery, textured, gorgeous gold yellow paper is from Ujjwal’s store. I didnt have any orange ink in cats eye queues so I distressed them with my ever loyal Crayola markers in Yellow Orange and Orange.

The leaves are punched and coloured with Crayola in Olive Green.

The last few of the frames left from my Silhouette stash. Don’t have the new blade yet. Sentiment by Hero Arts

The gorgeous gems are from Pie Lane.

Hope you like it.

XoXo
