Hello everyone! 

Welcome back to all of you who have played my challenges before 

and a big welcome to those who are stopping by for the first time! 

I hope you have great fun playing  along!

November 14th is the birthday of our first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. 

As he was very fond of children, It is celebrated as Children's Day in India.

Therefore, the challenge for the month is to make a card or tag for CHILDREN.

Now for some inspiration...

This month our sponsor MHK designs 

has shared some beautiful digital papers and stamps with us,

which we  have showcased.

I started with the papers from the Autumnal Accents digital paper pack

 and added the digital stamps from the Butterfly wisdom set.

I coloured the butterfly to make it pop, using faber castell colour pencils and then added the sentiment which I printed on vellum.

I finished the card with some MayArts jute ribbon.

For this tag, I used the same papers and stamps as above and

 added a dry embossed panel and some self adhesive gemstones for interest.

I finished the tag with charcoal bakers twine from the Twinery.

For the Instagram inspired shaker card, I have used the papers from the

radiant rainbows digital paper pack.

I created the shaker element by die cutting  and stacking multiple circles using 

Simon Says Stamp Stitched circles die .

I added some silver and gold star confetti and closed the shaker element using the same patterned paper as the background. 

I added a spellbinders nested heart and 

a speech bubble from Simon Says Stamp 'Talk bubble' die set.

The birthday sentiment is from Stampendous.

I really enjoyed using these beautiful bright colours on the cards..I think kids would like them too!

For more inspiration...

We have La Von Hall over as our guest designer this month! 

La Von and I became friends through Flickr, 

where she runs an awesome group and challenge every month. 

Do drop by and leave her some love!

I am so very honored to be chosen as the guest designer this month for Paru's Card Making Challenge. Thank you very much, Paru!  The theme for this card is children because the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is celebrated as Children's Day in India. India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, was born on November 14. Apart from being known for his skills as a statesman, Nehru was also immensely fond of children.

The card I created for Paru's Challenge is a shaker card.  I think children of all ages like shaker cards.  The wonderful sponsor that Paru has chosen for this month is MHK designs. All of the digi images, sentiment and even the patterned papers are found at the MHK designs.  I used the "Hardy Party" digital paper pack and "Eat Your Cake" digital stamp set.

Making a shaker card is simpler that it may look.

• I colored the image with Copic markers and added a touch of shimmer using a bit Multi Media Matte with clear glitter.    
• I cut the frame 6 times, 5 times from plain cardstock and one time from the patterned paper.  The five cardstock frames are glued into a stack to create the well for the shaker mix.   
• Place the stacked frame over the colored image where you like and trim off any excess.  Glue the frame over to the image using the Multi Media Matte. 
• After the glue is dry you put in the sequin mix.  
• Next you will cut a piece of plastic or acetate cut to size and adhere this over the window.  I like to use a strong double sided tape like SCOR-tape to adhere the acetate to the frame and the patterned paper.  It seems to work the best. 
• Then adhere the assembled shaker to your card.  

I was have such a great time with the pretty papers from MHK that created two tags for the challenge.  After making both I couldn't really decide which I liked best so I am sharing both here.   Both of my tags use a die from Hero Arts.  I will list my supplies below.

Here is my 1st inspiration for you this month.

Don't forget to stop by on the 15th of April for our second round of inspiration.

To make this card, I elements I used are 1. The colorful paint tubes, 2. The chalk board and 3. The drawing on the chalk board (hand lettered sentiment).

I used the paint tube stamp from Paper smooches 'I heart art' stamp set to make this card.  I Stamped a couple of tubes on masking paper, cut them out and used them to create this background. I then colored in the tubes using faber castell color pencils.

I hand lettered the Happy Birthday sentiment on a piece of black card stock and used it to finish the card.

I think its really bright and cheerful, don't you?

I used the recepie to make a Christmas tag. I stamped the background using a Penny Black stamp with memento 'London fog' ink.

I then coloured in some of the flowers and leaves using faber-castell colour pencils. I then used a blending pen to blend the colours. 

I added some sequins, tied a gold ribbon and added gold embossed sentiment on a black strip as my topping!

Quick, easy and fun!

Pumpkin Happiness

Hey everyone!

I am playing the Friday Mashup # 227(pumpkins and frames) challenge  this week.

I realised I didn't have a pumpkin stamp or image, so I decided to draw the pumpkins myself! 

They are not perfect, but I love the overall look of the card.

The Polaroid die is from Lawn Fawn and the sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps.

I used watercolours and colour pencils to colour my pumpkins and gave the card base a distress ink and water wash.

To finish, I added a bow of bakers twine and some wooden buttons from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a good evening!

Citrus with a twist!

Hey there!
I am playing the Simon Says Stamp "Citrus with a twist" challenge today with this card.

I just love the sentiment stamp from Verses rubber stamps! I don't use it very often, but it was perfect for this challenge. The lemons  are from the Stampendous 'little fruit' stamp set and the brads are from recollections.

I used  Faber Castell colour pencil and Windsor and Newton watercolour cakes to paint my background.

The heat embossed sentiment panel is popped up with double sided foam tape to give it some added dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great weekend…I have a busy one..entertaining the kids! ;-)
