White on white card

Hi All,

Hope you are all doing great.Here's my new card, fully white. I have really fallen in love with this type of cardmaking :). Well, lots of layers with embossing. On the white card base, I used the MS punch for the "L" shaped border, and added two strips of embossed layers. Used the nestabilities to add the sentiment, for the first time, I tried out heat embossing and really loved the way its come up. Added some intricate die cut which I had a tough time cutting it, finally made the blooms, you can find these blooms on all my cards, I love this die to the core, some MS monarch punch butterflies. Finally, embellishing with a bow and some pearls.

Here is a pic of the card,

Card after a long time

Hi All,

Hope you are all doing great. Well, I was on the vacation to my hometown Bangalore for Dussera celebrations, and also my daughter Dhriti has joined the playschool, and I am with her in the school till she gets used to it,so my crafting mojo went down :)

Okay, onto the card, I love the white and pink combo and could not resist on trying my hands on it, the momemt I saw the challenge hosted on DCAM challenges. Thanks to all the DT's who make our brains work and I write this on almost all my posts.

A little bit onto the card description. The card base is white, and I have layered another white card distressed with Worn Lipstick DI, no pattern paper this time :). Then I have done some horizontal and vertical layering with dry embossing, only a little is seen as there are more layers adding up. The focal image is a Digi and I have coloured usink Distress Inks, I just love the cutie. Finally, some embellishing with ribbon, pearls and blooms.Only, the white blooms are handmade using MFT die, the rest are bought ones. On the whole, I like the ways its turned out.

Vintage tag

Hi All,

This time its a tag, creating a tag for the first time ;).I have completely fallen in love with the vintage style and the gorgeous lady stamp.I need to start collecting more of vintage stamp sets. Onto the tag, really interesting to make your own background and embellishments, I love to use more of pattern papers and this time making my own pattern paper was real fun, What I did was, nothing too great about it, I used one of the flower stamp from My Minds Eye and stamped it all over white CS distressed with Vintage photo,you can see this only on the sides of the tag, coz I wanted the lady to stand on it.For the first time, I made my own handmade embellishment, I always use readily available flowers ;) I made the flowers using the Cuttlebug scalloped flower die. I made a small slit across each petal, scrampled it up, opened it again very gently and distressed with Vintage photo, layered it using metallic brads. The rest is pretty much easy peasy and the tag says it all :)

Vintage Card

Hello friends,

Since a long time, I wanted to try my hands with the Vintage style and here's my first attempt with it. I want to give this card to my college friend who really loves antique pieces and loves to add up to her collection. I wanted to also tell her a Thank you for all that she has done to me.But, as we women get married and settle down with our families, its so difficult to meet and spend time with each other.So, I am to give this card to her when I meet her personally, and hope so, that its gonna be soon.
Onto my card, firstly love the ways its turned out. I used the Black and Brown colours only to give it the antique rusted look.Also, love the patterned papers used here.Isn't the stamped lady gorgeous? I decided to make this card soon after I bought this stamp set.I have also used border stamp at the bottom of the card, and yes distressed the edges of the pattern paper with the most popular Vintage ink, the Vintage photo, No wonder, why we crafters are crazy with this colour.With the flowers,I used the MFT Prima Donna petals to make it and I am loving this die to the core.
