Pink card

Hello friends,
I am here with my new card inspired by colours of a very soft shade of pink and white.Well, I first designed my card with another concept in mind, and finally turned out to make something totally different from what I thought, but the real cool thing is, I loved the final result.
Onto the description,tried out the shabby chic style, used two different pattern papers with some layering. The cutie is a digi and coloured with Distress inks. I am using Distress inks for colouring for the first time, loved the shades and the subtleness that Distress Inks offers.I have 12 in my collection, planning to add a few more.Used a few die cuts for embellishments. I also made the two flowers at the bottom using the MFT Prima Donna petals die and I love the dimensional look of the flower.

Here is a pic of the full card,

Gift box with a Tag

Hi All,

Here is my first attempt to create a box other than cards and paintings.Its a very small sized box perfectly apt for gifing jewellery and coins. I bought a few homemade chocolates thats was wrapped in a similar kind of box, which served as a tute to me. Well, had lots of fun making this one, sometimes I also thought ,should I continue with it or stop, but finally loved the end result :)

I used one cardstock from the DCWV stack measuring 7X7  and then doing some vertical and horizontal scoring, and some cuts at the four corners and finally, some diagonal scoring. Since, the paper itself was so pretty, I did not want to embellish too much, so did some Distressing and embellished with rhinestones all over the front and rear side of the box and for the matching tag.The backside of the tag is kept plain to write a message to the recepient.Used the Itsy Bitsy glitterd pink flowers matching the rhinestones . Then, tied up all using Pink Organza ribbon.

Here is a pic of the box and the matching tag,

Thanks to the challenge blog DT's who makes us all think out of the box, hence improving one's creativity and crafting skills.

Here is a pic of the card front,

I am so used to having a colured focal image, though not an expert with coloring ;), I used the lovely white glittered foam flowers from Itsy Bitsy which is truly enhancing the look of the card.
