Sweet Treats For You OCC Clear & Sheer

Here's My 2nd Card for the Day !! I will be linking this to the Onilne Card Class ' Clear & Sheer' Gallery - Day 2. 

A whole lotta layers have been used to make this card ! The Card Base is a Neenah Solar White, on which a Silver Craft Paper has been attached leaving 1/4" margin on top & bottom. Next I have attached a Cupcake Design Pattern Paper to which I have adhered Vellum ( I die cut a scallop border at the edge of the vellum for some interest, using my Stitched Scallop Die - Lawnfawn)

Next I stamped & Fussy Cut a few Cupcakes & stand using my WPLUS9 Stamp Set - 'Sweets & Treats". I used my Altenew Crisp Inks for these. I doodled some sprinkles on the cupcakes & stuck a cherry sticker to one of them !

I die cut a 'Stitched rectangle frame' from a SSS die & stuck the cupcakes. Next I used my Foam Dots to stick the frame on the left. The Thin strip is heat embossed using SSS-Wide stripes stamp and Ranger : liquid platinum Embossing Powder & then I distressed the blank stripes using my Distress Inks. For the Sentiment, I used Altenew Stamp Set - 'Label Love' & Hero Arts Shadow Ink - Wet Cement' & Altenew Crisp Ink : Frosty Pink & Pop Dotted the same !

Lastly, I added a bow, Sequins & Rhinestones to finish the card !! 

                                 

                    I had so much fun creating this card !!!                                                          Hope you like it too !!

Hey Friends !!!

Colored these using My Copics & Fussy cut them !

arranged them and stuck these on a Doily ! After I was happy with my card centre, I adhered it on my Card front (in this case - Acetate) and used another Doily to cover the back of the Front panel of the Acetate ! Similarly I adhered the Doilies on the back panel of the Acetate!

For the background I simply distress just a section of the Top Right area of the card with my Picked Raspberry Distress Ink & Sprayed some water using my Mini Mister & a few larger drops were created using my fingers!! I love how it turned out !

Next I stamped the Diamond with a Very Soft Granite using the 3rd generation stamping as I din't want the image to show. After that I traced the image with my Micron pen to give it a sketchy look !!

Once it was dry, I watercolored using my Faber Castell Watercolor Pencils & then used my dry pencils for some shading. Lastly I stamped the Sentiment using Versamark Ink & Embossed it with the American Crafts - Zink Glitter Gold Embossing Powder.

I also added a little versamark randomly near the sentiment & embossed it with the Stampendous Shabby White Embossing Powder & added some sequins to complete the card !

Happy Birthday Elephant

Hello Craft Friends,

I'm back after what seemed like ages... Here's a Cute Elephant Birthday Card that I made using 

my brand new stamp set from WPlus9.

I used the "Whole lotta happy" Stamp set for all the Sentiments. I have used my Versamark & Colored Ink pads to emboss the sentiments !!

The Elephant, Balloon & the Stars have been stamped from the "Unforgettable" Set, using Jet Black Staz On ink.

The Stitched Square Window is cut using my Simon Says Die - Stitched Squares.

I have used my Zig Brush Markers to color the balloon. I fussy cut the lil blue hat for the elephant & pop-dotted it on his head for the extra dimension. I also added Glossy Accents to the hat !

Rosey Card !

Hello Friends,
I'm here today with a Card made for the Challenge over at Virginia's View Challenge Blog - Ombre/Monochromatic Challenge !


Well I have used my most Favourite Stamp Set 'Vintage Roses" by Alt & New for the roses.
And the 'Sohcatoa' Set for the sentiment !
At first I used my Misti Tool (I love using it so much) to stamp & layer the roses using my Inks from Prima Chalk inks, Memento Dye Inks & Hero Arts Shadow Inks.
After stamping, I paper pieced the roses & leaves  and kept them aside.
Next i took 4"x6" Neenah Solar White Cardstock & did some stenciling.
I used the Mini Aztec Stencils by Crafter's Workshop - Balzer Designs, Embossing Paste by Wendy Vecchi in white, Distress Inks - Picked Raspberry & Worn Lipstick. I created three different batches in different shades of pink from dark to light. After creating the stenciled background, I added some silver thread & then I arranged my flowers using Foam dots to give them some dimension. After that I heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of black cardstock with Stampendous Detail White Embossing Powder & snipped the ends of to make it into a banner. I stuck it beneath one of the petals. To balance the Black sentiment piece I added a thin strip of black CS to one side of the card.
Lastly, I added some white &pink flat back adhesive pearls here & there & Brushed some Clear Wink Of Stella on my Roses for the extra touch ! I then mounted this piece on a 4 1/4" x 61/2" top folding card !
