Hi my crafty friends 🤗

Hope you are doing well ☺️ I'm back with inspiration project for AAA Birthday Challenge - #52 Anything Birthday Goes 🎂

Added few sequins in the same rainbow colors and this note card was matted on yellow cardstock. Below is the closer look of the project :)

 Hi my crafty friends 🤗

As the title says today I had this wonderful opportunity to be guest designing at Kanan's blog ifeelglee . I am honoured and grateful for her sweet gesture. She is one of a kind and sweet cute friend that I have ever met. Thank You so much Kanan ❤️ 🥰

I was overwhelmed by her sweet gesture to ask if I could do the designing over her blog !! Yay 😁 I literally did a happy dance as it's one of my first guest designing post !! 

Today's card is all about cute bunnies 🤩 Other day when I was looking over my card projects I came across that I had never made card saying Safe Travels. So this made to pick up these cute little bunnies. 

Let's see how I made this card !! 

Cute bunnies were stamped on the Watercolored paper using Versafine Onyx black ink and coloured using my favourite zig markers. To attain the beautiful cloudy background I have used stencilling technique through inkblending. I used a rectangle die to create a window. To add a color play I added a piece of pattern paper behind the panel. Once I was happy with the outcome I adhered everything using liquid glue and bunnies with foam squares for little dimension. Also few sequins and enamel dot for final touches  🙈 I never fail to add these little add-ons to my card to give that extra effect . 

I hope you like my this cute bunnies card inspiration and do let me know what you loved about it in the comments below 👇

      I'm back with card inspiration that's made for AAA Birthday Challenge - #50 Watercolors 

     

        Watercolors is one of my most used medium and also the favourite one 🎨. For today's card I chose to make simple yet lovely and clean critter card with addition of pattern paper to add an extra bit to it  😄

      I stamped image on Canson watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx black ink and used zig clean markers to color them. Later I fussy cut the images leaving white space. I drew the clouds and grass for added interest and  gave a wash of blue and green hues. This was mounted on a pattern paper from MFT and then on the A2 size top folding card. 

Below is the close up look of the cute critters 😍

AAA Birthday Challenge - #48 Layer it Up ☺️

 Hello my Crafty friends,

Hope you are doing good !! I'm bit busy with personal front as family members health are on & off also summer break has started for Miss A and she keeps me busy.  

Today's card features the layer it up technique, that's played at AAA Birthday Challenge - #48 

This cue word ' Layer it Up' gives many dimensions. Rather than adding many layers to the card I chose to play with colours. I wanted to try the new coloring medium and used alcohol markers here for the first time and I'm very much happy about the results. 

To add layers beneath the colored roses, I stamped the continued part of the flower along with leaves and heat embossed with golden embossing powder. Adhered the colored roses and petals with and without foam pads to depict the layers. Some gold splatters and sequins to finish the card . 

Sharing the close-up look of the same

AAA Birthday Challenge - #47 Stripes/Dots

 Hello my Crafty friends, 

Hope you are doing well !! And it's March  already 🙈 and I witness the summer heat here. Hoping that sun would be gentle in coming days ahead here 😎🌸

I'm sharing a card little lately that's made for the AAA Birthday Challenge for the March - #47 Stripes / Dots 

I tried to capture the colors of spring in this card, took the cardstock stripes of 1/4th inch and adhered them on a square paper and then matted on copper mirror metallic cardstock . I struggled to capture the shine of the same in the pic below 🙈 

I kept it simple and clean this time. HB2U letters are die cuts several times and adhered  together along with a vellum. I wanted to add enamel dots but ended up using these mini florals which were made for other projects :)  

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 :) We have Hannelie as a guest designer for this month. She is a Desert Diva and queen of CAS cards !!! I love how she pulls each and every single card with so much simplicity yet beautifully and elegancy :)

Hello my crafty friends,

How are you?! I'm back again to share a card that's made for #mftsketchchallange - 629

I wanted to play for MFT Sketch challenge from so long but finally made it to link up with valentine card 🙈 I chose to keep it in classic red and sand brown combo than using usual valentine colors 💕 

Colored the stamp from My favourite things - Beach Bunnies with zigmarkers and to mimic the sketch have used stitched circle dies and love speech bubbles to complete the look. 

These are the closer look of the bunnies

AAA Birthday Challenge is a monthly challenge and this month's theme is make a card with birthday theme (anything birthday goes :) Isn't interesting to play along ?! 🥳 

Coming to my today's card, I chose to make a CAS card with the elements which relates to space 🚀 

I stamped spaceship image on to it watercolor paper and colored it using zig markers. Added star die cuts in the layer as a baloon and drew a thread for same. All these were adhered on the white cardstock which was then placed on Navy Blue A2 base cardstock. 

This card is an interactive one and I have made a suprise tunnel that opens up when the card is opened. I have added the message and the birthday wishes inside :)

My favourite technique is Ink blending and I have used the same for the inside of the card as a surprise element. To achieve the galaxy effect I have used distress ink on the smooth cardstock and used oval dies to get the spiral effect and adhered the elements to complete the look :)

Hello friends,

Finally I pulled up my courage to participate in MFT SUPERSTAR CONTEST 2022 . Here is my entry Clean and Simple Genius Category. 

I have used the Stampset 'Tis the Season, stamped the Santa with gifts sack image using the MFT Extreme Black ink on the kraft cardstock. Colored them using the polychrome pencils and masked the legs & bag and added snow details for added interest. Sentiment was heat embossed. Added white snow details using white gel pen. 

Clean and Simple is not my forte, but challenges like these would help me to pull up my socks 🙈🤩

Hope you like my take on the same ☺️ Please let me know how it has turned out in the comments below 🥰❤️
