~ AAA Birthday Challenge #68 - Lovely Layers 💌

 Hiii my crafty friends,

Hope you are doing well and here we are in the last month of the year already!!! 🤗 

New month comes with new inspiration, & here it is a new challenge at AAA Birthday Card Challenge #68 - Lovely layers 😉 

My take is a very simple shaker birthday card which makes recipient happy and feels like kid again' 😆

Self explanatory card - Here I have used pattern paper & large die from lawn fawn. 

Inlaid Happy Birthday diecut with the pattern paper and shaker window beneath it. To add a little shine used a diecut in glitter paper and placed everything on the A2 top folding base card !! And that's it :) 

Supplies used from Lawn fawn : 

Pattern paper - Perfectly Plaid Fall collection 

Die - Gaint Happy Birthday

~ AAA Birthday Challenge #67 - Favourite Image 🖼️

 Hello my crafty friends, 

How are you all ?! I hope you are doing great 😃 It's November already!! And here in India we are lined up with festivals. We celebrated Navaratri, now followed by Deepawali 🪔 We look forward to this to celebrate with our families & loved ones 🤩 

Coming to today's inspiration I'm back to share a simple card that's made for AAA Birthday Challenge #67 Favourite Image 🖼️😃

My take is as simple as that - 

I chose few colors to make background of my own. On an A2 sized cardstock I made an abstract design using alcohol markers and filled them later stamped an floral image on that with Black ops Versafine Onyx. 

Added few faux splatters using black pen 🙈 Sentiment strip is again handwritten 😊  I chose this image as I wanted to give a silhouette effect on my card and added my own touch 🤩

Supplies used :

Stampset - Better Together stampset from Gina K designs

~ AAA Birthday Challenge #66 Circle Shaped ⭕🎂💌

 Hello there crafty buddies,

To all my lovely crafty friends, How have you been ?! Hope you all are enjoying your last days of summer and welcoming fall season 🍁🍂 

I enjoyed with family and friends as we had a wedding in the house (most awaited one 💕) and took a small break from crafting. But its time to gear up and finish half done projects to get back that memento 🤗 Isn't it ?!

How often you have made shaped cards ?!

I love to create cards with different shapes and my favourite is circle shaped card 🤩 If you are wondering why I'm asking this ?! Because we have new theme at AAA Birthday Challenge #66 Circle Shaped Card. 

It means -  your card should be a circle shape, not just a card with circles on it. 

Today's inspiration is as simple as that, and self explanatory too !! I have used a pattern paper & plain cardstock for the base and used a coloured floral on top it. 

Took a black circle shaped cardstock and adhered pattern paper & plain white cardstock over it leaving a small spacing . I used alcohol markers to color my images. It was adhered to the base using foam squares to add a little dimension. 

Stamped a birthday sentiment on the plain area and added faux black dots using pointed pen (inspired by Carly Tee) Finished a card with sequins ✨

Supplies Used : 

Pattern Paper - MFT Feelin' Festive

Stamp - Waffle Flower Bouquet Builder 1

~ AAA Birthday Challenge #63 Fabulous flowers

 
Hello 🤗 my crafty buddies, 

It's been a long time that I haven't showed up here !?! I took a small break as I needed it 😶 I missed my craftspace and was so happy to be back !! 

Today I have inspiration for our monthly AAA Birthday Challenge 63# Fabulous flowers 🌼 

I have used solid stamping technique for today's card. Stampset is from Indian brand called Mudra. Since the focal point should be on florals I tried to keep the background in subtle colour. 

Added few gold splatters and embossed sentiment. And of course few sequins ✨ I hope you like my card inspiration and if you would like to play along with current challenge please head over to AAA Birthday Challenge Blog and get inspired by my fellow crafters to play along :)

~ AAA Birthday Challenge #60 Shaker ✨💖🧁🥳

Hello my Crafty friends,

Summers are full on swing mood ☀️🏖️ Miss A has conquered my craft space with her new goodies. She is eager to explore my craft supplies and she wants to learn how to use them 😂😜 I'm excited as well to see what she comes up with her ideas. 

Coming to today's post , it's card made for AAA Birthday Challenge #60 - Shaker. Isn't it a fun to use shaker elements in a simple card !! 🤩

To be frank, I wasnt a fan of shaker card until today's card even though it cheers up the recipient. It was mostly due to the foam tape that I was using before. Over the time the tape would open up was my fear to trying this out. It upsets a perfectionist like me if it opens up when given to recipient. 

When I was talking about my concern with my dear friend Disha, she suggested to try out infinite shaker card. And that's what my card for today's post

It's self explanatory card, I choose an ink blended background with shaker elements in the packing sheet and adhered the 'Big Birthday Wishes' diecut on the top of shaker window. 

I hope you like my card inspiration and if you would like to play along with current challenge please head over to AAA Birthday Challenge Blog and get inspired by my fellow crafters to play along :)

~ AAA Colourful Challenge #2 - Guest Designing

Hello my crafty friends,

I'm here with a new colorful card for a brand new challenge in town called AAA Colourful -Colour theme challenges. I'm guest designing for the current month and the mood board is just intriguing 🤩💟 

This month mood/colour board is as below: 

Summer is full on with humid weather in here Mangalore, India !! Also Miss A annual exams ☺️ I wanted to keep my inner self calm so used watercolors after a very long time 🥰 Without further delay sharing inspiration : 

The Stampset is from Simon Says Stamp - Delicate flowers. I have used antique lenin distress ink for stamping and used zig markers to colour them. Tried no line colouring to give natural affect. Fussy cut them and colored their edges with respective colors. 

Some white and golden splatters, die cut frame beneath. Arranged the florals and leaves with foam squares & others with liquid glue to create dimensions. Once I was satisfied added sequins of matching colors and finished off my card. 

I struggle with arrangements of florals and adding layers with floral composition. Do let me know few go to techniques that you follow so that I can use them in my next cards. 🤗

I would take this moment to thank Jane and AAA Colourful Challenge Team for giving me an opportunity of guest spot. Thank you once again ❤️

Do let me know how it has turned out and that's all for today and hoping you all will join us in the ongoing challenge and  don't forget to link your projects here ☺️

Love,

Deekshita
