Guest Designer Post for BGC

  Hi There!
Thanks for your support.Still writing from the hospital room where Trisha is admitted.We had a sleepless night last night...because she was in a lot of pain despite the painkillers.Her arm still hurts and is heavy with the plaster.But that's not what she is upset about...she has been told not to attend school for next four weeks...and she loves school.I am thinking of ways to keep her busy...though that's not very tough.She loves reading and art work too.Art work would be problematic but reading we should be able to do loads of.
Coming back to my card...Remember I made it to top three at BGC's Ombre challenge and thus got the GDT post at their current challenge CASE STUDY.I made this taking cue from Romina's card as an inspiration.
Since I used yellow paint and ink to colour the petals as well as the embossed BG...I am entering this one at the Sentimental Sundays current challenge too.
Also since the flower is made with a round punch this also qualifies for the current challenge hosted by talented Hussena at Do more with less.
BTW the embossed BG is a Brustro paper that Hussena sent me .I have dry as well as heat embossed the paper after running it through my BIG SHOT.the flower is also made with scraps of Brustro.It was magical to colour the petals.
Hope you like the card...Please head over at BGC for a fabulous challenge and a fabulous prize sponsored by none other than LULUPU.

Hi there!
Thanks for your prayers and wishes.Update on Trisha is that she is getting  admitted this evening and her surgery is tomorrow morning at 8:00am.I realised this morning that it is the last day of the month and I haven't submitted my scrapbook page of the month at the ICR.I found some time to make this one and I am pretty pleased with the outcome.

The package I drew inspiration from

The challenge at ICR says NO PP OR DP for Background...so Keeping in mind Isha's challenge at Do more with less and this package I made this.

I have used Creative scrappers sketch #219 and have played along with Play date cafe colors.Keeping the sketch in mind I decided to play along with good friend Hussena's current challenge at Do more with less.

Ombre card

Believe me . I had no clue till last night what this word meant.But I am glad that I figured out not only its meaning but also the way to execute it.Thanks to BGC.
I have two posts tonight so keeping this short.
Well Ombre means shaded in tones with colours graduatimg from light to dark.
I painted the BG for the stamped image with acrylic paints.I also pasted masking tape and coloured in hues of Blue before cutting it into clouds.

Alright net acting up so without further ado here is my card.

CASEing the Master

Hi Peeps!
Hope you all are doing well.I am busy as a bee as usual and have a card to show you today.It was one of dreams to CASE Erum and I have done it here for her own challenge at Yvonne's blog.I know I am nowhere close to her creation but that was never the intention and I did not say that this is the last time so will keep trying till I am satisfied.
The story here is That I ruined two ribbons and washed them and dried them trying to make that supposedly easy peasy flower.No there wasn't any problem with the instructions it was me who wasn't getting the hang of it.I added some glitter to the ribbon as well as the butterflies and the leaves.the butterfly is a black and white rintout which i colored with faber Castell pencil colors and the leaves are a digi from BIRD.
Then I did not get the dye so colored the backing paper with water color and then the acrylic.The starry effect was achieved(Did I achieve it?)with Pie Lane glitter balls.Have used floss and lace from my stash.
The card.
The insides.the sentiment is fom Ippity and the butterfly stamps are from my stash .Don't remember the company's name.have distressed the edges and the blue cardstock has been torn and pinched and then distressed.
The handmade envelope.

Close up of the Pie lane glitter.
Close up of the handmade flower.The frayed edges were cut .They are not showing on the card anymore.
Have made this card for my friend's anniversary.Hope she likes it.
Thanks for passing by.
Awaiting your comments.They make my day and encourage me to try the difficult.The next thing which I want to try and am paranoid about is a tutorial....but will nevertheless try it.
Hugs!
