You Nailed it!

 Hey!

I am playing the  Less is More Week 257 challenge with this card.

The challenge was to make a CAS card using Neutral colours.

After a little thought, I pulled out this stamp set from MFT. I used Memento Desert Sand and Brilliance coffee bean inks to stmap the images.

To create  interest, I die cut the panels using Simon Says Stamp stitched squares dies. I also punched out  a few circles and, stamped a nail image (from the stamp set) and stacked them up to create some height and make them look like nails.

I really like the way this card turned out!

I hope you like it too!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Watercolouring with Distress markers

I am linking up another card for the Paper Players 'Spring' theme Challenge.

Stamps are from Darcies, Art Impressions and Winnie and Walter. 

Inks are Tim Holtz distress inks and markers and Marvy watercolour markers and the happy die cut is from Winnie and Walter. 

This technique of stamping with distress inks and markers and softening them with water, really make s me happy! 

So I am also linking this card up for the Simply Less in More 'This makes me happy' Challenge.

Grandpa rocks!

Hello everyone!

Tonight I am playing three challenges!

the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge 'GET KRAFTY', the Less is More 'Masculine" card challenge and the CASology cue card 'BOLD' challenge.

The heat embossed sentiment is from the masculine graphic tee stamp and die set from mft stamps and the moustache from Lawn Fawn's Dad's Day stamp set.

I embossed the moustache with 'detailed silver' embossing powder from american crafts, fussy cut it and popped it on with a bit of 3D foam tape.

I just love the silver look!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great evening!

Pretty trees

I made this card for the Less is More 'Trees' challenge. 

The first card I attempted, was not CAS, so I made another CAS version.

The stamp I used here is Daisy Bucket and the sentiment is from Hampton Art.

Which one did you like?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your evening!

Blue Felt leaves

Good Morning everyone!! 

Its a beautiful, cool, sun dappled, morning in Mumbai. 

There is no guarantee it will stay this way though!!!

I have a card today which I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge.

I have combined it with the Simply Less is More 'Theme' Felt of Fabric challenge.

To make this card I used spellbinders dies to cut out the leaves out of a sheet blue felt which had these gorgeous gold speckles on it.

For the flower, I used my spellbinders nestabilities to cut out 4 nesting layers out of this fabulous vellum like felt paper. It is so pretty and so malleable.

To complete the card, I added an embossed background and created the sentiment using a Hero Arts alphabet set.

I am just thrilled with the way this card turned out...I struggled with it for a while.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Sweet Doggie

Here is a quick card for the Less is More CAS  happy birthday card challenge.

I was inspired by Jen's card and just HAD TO pull out this cute doggie stamp from the Inkadinkado 'Gem Stone Dogs' set.

The sweet sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps.

Happy birthday Jen!!

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Violet and Yellow

Hey all!

Today, for the Simply Less is More Colours Challenge, I made this card with a photograph that I have taken. It just fit the colour scheme so well!! 

The challenge was to use oposite colours on the colour wheel and I decided to use Violet and Yellow.

The background stamp is the textures block from Stampendous...one of my favourites!

I stamped it with Memento Grape Jelly ink.

The sentiment is a peel off sticker...aren't I lucky I had it in violet?

The beauty of these challenges is that they push me to think out of the box...I'm lovin' it!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy!
