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.

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..

Birthday card for Aria

Hey there ,

I made this birthday card for my cute little niece Aria... who just turned one ... But the sad part is I've not had a chance to see her yet... she lives in Australia.. Wanting to see her so badly..

When I thought of my niece... the image that came to my mind was Heidi from C.C. designs... Its a digi image I bought from All that Scraps... I printed it on Bazzill Coconut Swirl cardstock and coloured it in with copic markers.... The cake is a punch from Martha Stewarts.. again... coloured with copics and copic spica glitter pens...
The centre image is an old rubber stamp... Its amazing how it just fits right in the center of the card...
All the images and sentiments are cut with Nestabilities dies...

Birthday Card

Hey! Welcome back!


Here's yet another birthday card....my most favorite subject for card making..."birthdays"..
I have used a Magnolia image ...Tilda @ spotlight...
I love the combination of Lemon yellow and teal blue...tried it out for the first time...




I followed the sketch from Paper take weekly challenge# 37

I coloured the image with Copic markers... can't believe till until 4 months ago I had no idea what copic markers were... They are just awesome ... love them..
I coloured the pearls with the copic markers too...

The paper I used is really very old and have no idea what company it is from...

I sprayed the flowers with Shimmer Mist..Oh it is so awesome...

Highlighted the image, leaves and the sentiment with crystal stickles...

I cut the image and sentiment with Nestabilities in my Sizzix Big Kick..
