Birthday Lala









Just cannot believe it... I made this card in just 4 hrs... one evening... amazing... I usually take atleast a couple of days before I can make something substantial.... But there was something about this stamp from Lala Land. Just so pretty that i did not have to do much to make the card look beautiful.
I tried to make it look as if she is just about to enter the party hall with a bunch of presents for the birthday girl/boy...
I wanted to make something for my pretty Sister In Law whose birthday is coming up soon and this card is going to be just right to send her. Just want to make a pretty envelope to go along.
I have used Birthday Lala from Lalaland Stamps... from my favorite craft teacher Irina... who has inspired me to enter this amazing world of paper crafting. Thank you Irina.
I have colored the image with copic markers..
The punches are from Martha Stewart and Ek Success.

Anything but a card


Hey All!!

This week the challenge at Daisy Doodles is Anything But a card.. and I can't believe I was so stuck... Just could not think of what to make. I started with so many projects and scrapped them.. and this is what I am left with... A handmade box and a tag.

Image used on the box is a cute butterfly from Daisy Doodles which can be purchased here..
and image used for the tag is a cery pretty flower from Daisy Doodles which can be purchased here.. I love both the images so much but I think I could have done better...
Shall try again soon.

Yellow Roses



Yellow Roses means Friendship right!! This card can be used for so many occasions eg. Mother's day,for Friends, Birthday or just thank you or even sorry... I was so not sure what to use it for so I did not put any sentiments on it.. I shall put one when I decide whom to give it to..
I have been wanting to make a monochromatic colour scheme for a while now. So here it is... And also it is one of my favorite colours.. golden yellow..
The stamp is from Daisy Doodles Digital images and it can be purchased here.

The image was as usual colored in with the copic markers and some Spica glitter pens..

Pink + 1 Challenge @ Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges





This is my first card for Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges as the DT member and I hope I did justice to this lovely cupcake Digital Stamp. It is available for free here.
The challenge for this week is a colour challenge... Pink + 1 colour. So I have chosen Pink + Brown. It was really a easy one.
I Printed the image thrice. Twice on Bazzil Basics Coconut Swirl paper and once on the brown and pink dp by BO Bunny. Cut the Square with the nestabilities die and coloured the cake with the copic markers. Then on the second image on white paper I coloured only the strawberry and then put a layer of glaze on the top. I cut it and placed it on the original image with foam tape to add dimension. Then from the third on the dp I cut out only the cupcake wrapper and scored all the lines with stylus to show some depth. I am happy it is showing in the photographs.




And here is my card voila... Embellished with pearls from Mark Richards which i again colored with the copics.. And some ribbons.
here is the inside of the card..
