Black and Gold CAS card

Hi Friends!

I am back to Ghaziabad for a while...precisely 20 days.on 20th of May I am packing my stuff and off to Pune for good.Before I pack my crafty stuff I wanted to share and make a few things and participate in my favourite challenges.So here I am with my CAS card for not one but three challenges namely;
Less is more-Week 169
Sentimental Sundays-Challenge #204: Clean and Simple
Beyond Grey challenges-BGC#50: Back to CAS + Colour Challenge
The gold is achieved by heat embossing with Ranger gold powder.I have tried this kind of aperture for the first time and suspended the butterfly too in the space.
Hope you liked my card.Do let me know what you think about it.Eagerly awaiting your comments
Thanks for passing by.

A pastel card

Second post for the day....but I have a busy week ahead so trying to finish off as much as possible.making a post just now when it is quiet...soon my daughters will arrive and turn the house upside down.
So what do you think about this card.well I personally find it challenging to place the bling...and that 's what took me the longest on this card.I envy who do it as if it is the easiest thing in the world....One of them is ERUM.

Flowery card

..




Spring has sprung...at least in my craft room...lol...my punches...quite a few of them have given up on me or rather their springs have...and that has no connection with this card ...was just trying to speak metaphorically.Okay coming to the card...I dunno why but it seems like it took me a lot of time..Lot of fussy cutting there.Lots of heat embossing too.and a bit of scoring...and yeah paper piecing too...so you get the pic right?

Spring has sprung

So what if it hasn't really in this part of the world...may be I will be able to simulate it with this card.Sorry friends...I was missing coz I was out of station for a well deserved three day break.
And now I am back to blogland with my card which is inspired by Tejal's post here.
I ruined a stencil in the process to get it right but I am pretty pleased with the effect so I guess it is worth it.

Thanks in color throwdown inspired colours

A quick post today.Made a card for a couple of challenges.A quick card I must say.my stamping sucks and this is a decent version of the card I had thought in my mind.After a failed attempt I realised this is the best I can do with the idea in my mind.
The colours are inspired by the current palette at Color Throwdown.
The cardis made exclusively for CASual Fridays and Less Is more.
The butterfly stamp is from unity keeping mind their current challenge ( things with wings).
Thanks for passing by.
P.S. watched Kahaani last night.fabulous movie.Vidya is definitely going to win more awards this year.

Brick wall for less is more

The current challenge at Less is more asks the participants to make something CAS using neutral colours.And this is my take on it.I loved it the way it turned out.BTW Sorry for the poor picture quality.Its quite a feat That I manged to click it.Extremely grey and scarily windy outside.my card flew away a couple of times.Plus accompanied are thunderbolts in spurts.
What do you think?
THE INSIDES.
The stamp was bought from mansi.It was stamped twice using two different inks.the image was then cut and each piece distressed and arranged back like a brick wall.I love the shadowy effect.I tried using the same technique on the sentiment.
Hope you like my experiment...inspired by the tutorial at Splitcoast stampers.

Butterfly card for Less is more

I love one layer cards.I find them dificult to conceive in head ...but once they are conceived it is easy to execute them.
And this is why I look forward to challenges on Less is more.
Their current challenge asks one to use either dies or punches.
So I am here with my creation.
THE INSIDES.
The die cuts are from ujjwal's store.The beautiful gems are from PIE LANE.
Thanks for passing by.
HUGS!

One layer card for Less is more

I have been checking Less is More blog since yesterday for their latest challenge and made this one within 30 minutes of seeing the challenge.Such is my addiction with challenges nowadays.
The current challenge at Less is more is really interesting...check it out gals.
I have masked the circular part and the stripes are border strips from Pie lane.The swirl stamp was bought from mansi and the sentiment from Jovita.
The insides.
Ohh yeah the gems are from kaiser kraft and the rest of the underline was completed with piercing.
Hope you like this one.Remember I mentioned that I am making a pack of cards for somebody.this one is the third card in that pack ...two more to go and then will make the card holder.
Thanks for passing by.
HUGS!

Birthday tag for Joel

My daughters are active social beings....they went to a birthday party last night and got an invitation for another one...which is tonight.so my husband was packed off to fetch a gift for the young lad and I meanwhile made this tag for the Birthday boy.The image is from pollycraft...coloured with faber castell watercolor pencils and some glitter for the cap.The alpha stickers are from echo park and Voila done.This one is just apt for the current challenge at Less is More.
Loved making this...hope you like it too.
Hugs!

(W)Hole card

I am doing a lot of interesting things nowadays and today I have something to share which i have never done before.it was quite challenging to print the image and sentiment but finally I managed to nail it.
The image is from Birdie Brown and the inspiration for this card is from the current challenge at Less is more which asks one to make a card with a hole in it.ICR is also an inspiration to make this CAS card.
Srinanda from pie lane had asked us to use border strips on our cards and this one is for you Srinanda.The gorgeous silver border strip is from Pie lane.
Thanks for passing by.
