Tuesday Trigger from and Moxie Fab and Mood Board

 Good Morning everyone!!
Happy Monday to you!!
I am up early and listening to fantastic retro music on the radio!
So, with all the good feelings this morning, here is my submission for the fabulous
Tuesday trigger from Moxie Fab this week. 
I am also submitting it for the Stampawaywithme Monday Mood Board

The beautiful roses stamp is from Stampendous and the background is a cling stamp from Hero Arts I think, though I am not sure.

The sentiment is from Hampton Art.

Inks are from Memento and watercolours are Camel Artist's water colour cakes.

All come together quite pleasantly, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!!

Paru @ Paru's Perceptions

Not only did Paru mash up the challenge, she also used a picture of an umbrella she had taken last year! I love the use of the photo from her vacation, and the addition of the stamped elements and bakers twine help complete this great card.

Thanks for stopping by...

Using printables

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
It's the day that I post as DT for the Craft Adda Blog
This week, I decided to make a card using digital printables.

This card is inspired by the Hero Arts April 'Just for her' and Sketch challenge.

I have used a digital printable here from the 3"x4" journal/filler cards set from Mel Stampz.

The flowers, leaves and stamen are made with Punch Bunch punches.

the background stamp is from Hot of the Press 'delicate patterns' stamp set stamped with Onyx black Versafine ink.

The sentiment stamp is from Stampendous.

Quite a striking card, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!

Hero Arts 'April Challenge'

Good Morning Everyone!!

The Hero Arts 'April Challenge' is...

Make a card 'Just for her' using...A digital printable and / or a Hero Arts Stamp and / or using this sketch.

Here is my interpretation...

For this card, I used a printable from the 3"x4" journal/filler cards set fromMel Stampz & the Hydrangea stamp from Hero Arts. 

I stamped the background with Stampendous 'Marble Texture cube' in Lulu Lavender from Memento.

The Hydreangea is stamped with Versafine and heat embossed with Black Opaque from American Crafts.

I couloured it in using Camel Artist's Water Colour cakes. 

The sentiment is from Hero Arts 'Birthday Messages' stamp set and stamped with Grape jelly ink from Memento and distressed with Tangelo ink also from Memento.

The border die at the bottom is from Spellbiders Shapeabilities 'Persian Accents' set.

I didn't have the shade of green that I wanted for this border, so I stamped over the bright green paper with my Marble Texture cube with Cottage ivy ink from Memento, in order to get a colour that I could be happy with.

I AM very happy with the way that turned out!!!

Love this card...I hope you will love it too!

Thanks for stopping by...

Dynamic Duo Challenge

Hey everyone!
I am playing the Dynamic Duo Challenge for the first time along with a few other challenges.

These are the colours for this chalenge.

I am also entering this card for the Clean&Simple challenge FTL 234.

 The CAS-UAL Friday no.97 challenge...Chevron and Flowers.

And, the Crafter's Corner no.7-Bingo Challenge, where I have used 

'Distressing, Flowers and Charms'

for my card.

Here is my interpretation...

For this card I used The Chevron stamp from Technique Tuesday and heat embossed it with Pearl Lustre embossing powder from Stampendous.

The flowers are one of the first stamps I ever  bought. It is from Megilo.

I heat embossed the flowers with Aqua embossing powder from American Crafts.

The sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps, stamped with Onyx Black from Versafine, die cut using my spellbinders nestabilities and distressed using Tim Holtz broken china and crushed olive distress inks. 

The ribbon and butterfly charm are from my stash.

Turned out nicely, don't you think?

Double Z-fold card

Happy Monday everyone! 

Good afternoon! 

This one was really a challenge!!

I made this card for the Friday Mashup Challenge 104 for which I had to use an image of an Umbrella and/or make a Double Z-fold card.

After looking around for some inspiration, I found this tutorial on Splitcoast stampers.

For the Umbrella image I used a photograph that I had taken last year on a trip to Goa. 

I printed the photo on my canon photoprinter and put it together with some Hero Arts stamps, memento inks, and, some Bakers Twine wrapped around to hold it together.

Here is how it turned out!

I am quite thrilled with the result!

What do you think?!

These images show you the card folded and open.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

CAS(E) This sketch no 22

I had a panel of the Washi Tape Plaid design which I had used in my card for the Playdate Cafe Au Natural challenge.
I decided to use it for another challenge.
So, here is my card for the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge no.22.
Since the colours remain the same , I am entering it for the Playdate Cafe Challenge as well.

Here I have embossed the background panel with the Cuttlebug Happy birthday embossing folder. 

The tag has a plaid design which I created using Washi Tape. 

The little diamonds  were punched using my Carla craft punch.

the sentiment is from Hero Arts 'Birthday Messages' stamp set stamped with Memento rich cocoa and distressed with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink.

The ribbon and the scallops makes it more feminine, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by...

Enjoy!
