Bags

A bag for Roshni...

...and bags for fun...

Nahh...its only Tuesday!!

What a weekend....again!! Internet down!! withdrawal symptom's kicked in....oh no!! then remembered had a pay as you go connection, put in some money and yippee am connected to the world again!!

Am taking part in The play date cafe, the color scheme is black and white with a touch of green...hmmm. A piece of cake....

IT WASN'T . Somehow I struggled and struggled. I had couple of ideas , had also sketched them out, but after the card was made nahhh didn't like it one bit. In one of the card I felt that something was missing and then in another one it was too much. So I decided to just shelf everything and sleep over it :D and yes it worked...

So here it is

Have used clear emboss on the black card as a base, and stamped again using black versamark black chalk and memento green on the white card, paper and stamp bought locally, and sentiment hand written!!

Hello Monday...gosh!!

Where has this week gone??

This weeks target was to make lots of cards using Play Date Cafe colours, An embossing Challenge Challenge at Lilys Pad but never got around doing it.

Crazy crazy crazy!!

Any way before the weekend starts(already looming) taking part in another challenge at Lily Pad Card and its a sketch challenge from Lucy Abrams

Always improvising a card once started, it was challenging to stick to the sketch.

Enjoy

Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC80

Today I am participating in Play Date Cafe Challenge and the challenge is to create anything using the suggested colour palette.

To stick to a palette and that also so vibrant was very frustrating. And though the greens and the creams came out, I had decided that I was going to use only these three colours. And the outcome...

Flower Power!!

Stamped the background with distress inks and the same for the square background and the strip. Embossed the flowers white and hand wrote the sentiment.

MaRtYn's BirThDay

Its our dear friend Martyn from Leeds "Birthday" and here are some of the cards that I have made for him...

Martyn is a true Santa. Only thing is his gifts come all around the year. He just loves giving gifts and he spoils us rotten. He knows I love dairy milk chocolates from England and every trip he gets me kilos of it and gummy bear for Vipul, Cds, magazines, beads and all sorts of teenage stuff for Roshni and Thomas the tank engine thingy for Varun.

The list is endless. So here is a card which I hope he likes...

Birthday Wishes:

I have stamped the image on the base of the card and done paper piecing, the strings are heat embossed using metallic powder and using sakura black have done the faux stitch.

Martyn loves elephant ( who doesn't) and we always joke around as to how one day he is going to wake up and find an elephant in his backyard. And then Martyn along with food photography (which is his core business) will start an organic manure farm and will be called King of Manure :D and other silly stuff we keep joking about.

So here's an elephant for you Martyn...

Elephant Banner

Pencil colour for the elephant's body and Stickles and Martha Stewart glitter for the head gear and the cape. I don't enjoy using Martha Stewart glitter as the nozzle is not as fine as Stickles...

Have used a silver hammered head pin for the stick and the sentiment is hand written.
