Shine Bright!

Hey, friends!
I am sharing a bright card today. Here it is first!


I wanted to create this piece as tags first and layer them on top of each other. But then, it struck me that it would do well as a one layer card too.  SO I drew out the placements of the tags and stamped some encouraging sentiments from Itsy Bitsy stamps on each of the tags. I used my Impresso stamping tool to get good impressions. Also for the stars, I inked up the stamps in Versa mark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I sponged the whole card with various shades of distress ink and blended the whole card.


For the envelope, I made a custom envelope from a pattern paper and it looks so much better rather than being plain old white. What do you all think!

Beautiful butterflies

Hey fellas, Hope you all had a good thanksgiving :)
It must have been a long weekend for all those folks in the US and the UK and elsewhere who celebrate Thanksgiving :)

Anyways it was a pretty much routine weekend in my place and here is a quick card that I created.



And the envelope

:

I love this stamp set absolutely. This is from Mudra and I am totally in love with this one.  it has two beautiful butterflies that I have stamped in mild tones and kept the color palette to a minimum.
The sentiment just adds on nicely and it will be a perfect card for your mom or sister or your girl friends.

Here is the envelope and the back of card stamped with the same set :)

Fall themed card - Special greetings :)

Hey friends !
How are you all doing today. Hope you got a chance to look at the shaped card that I did a couple of days back. You can check it out here.

Today I have a fall themed card. I know it is not the season but it feels fresh to include those colors throughout the year and it really helps to add more vibrancy with minimal embellishments. Here it is first!


Card with matching envelope
For the card, I took a kraft card base of 4X6 inches (top folding). I added a mat of papericious naturals paper. This pack has some awesome papers fellas. You should totally check it out. I then added a Itsy Bitsy Color Yoga tag after coloring it with alternates of orange and yellow using sketch pens and smooshed distress inks for the backgrounds. Added a stip of colorful paper and a flower and some jute twine for the tag and assembled it all .

For the sentiment ,I stamped the base using Memento gum drops ink and heat embossed the sentiment from Mudra stamps.

Let me know what you feel about this guys.

I am entering it to the following challenges.

You and Me! Shaped Card

Hey there friends!
It has been a really time since I blogged. Wor and travel have kind of kept things realy bisy.. I am sharing a really simple card that I made for a friend. I have used some new supplies and embellishments that I got and I am totally loving it.
Here it is first for you.


Banner shaped Card and matching envelope

I cut out this card using the Peek-a-boo designs fist tail banner nesting dies on some great mettalic cardstock.
I wanted to keep the embellishments really minimal and throw more focus on the shimmer on the paper. So I clear heat embossed on a die cut that I recieved as a gift using the versafine black ink to get that brilliant effect. I embossed multiple times to get it really shiny.

I added a butterfly and a few tiny roses to add interest.

For the envelope I used a 12X12 pattern paper and created a DIY envelope in the matching size. Here are a few more shots.
Some effects there :)
