The sketch is from CPS.
This one is also made for Unity opportunity challenge( use your Itty bitty  stamps)

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.

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?

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.

Framed card for Skipping Stones

One of my favourite challenge blogs is Skipping Stones and this time there sketch is pretty intriguing but i am happy that though after three days I managed to come up with something.Hope you like it .
The colours are inspired by the current challenge at Colour Q.
This one is also apt for the current challenge at Crafty JC.
Close up of the embossed sentiment.
The stamp is unity so I am entering it at Unity Ippity CAS challenge.The current challenge at DYSU asks one to create sonething with wings  and i have two different creatures with wings on this card.
the sentiment is from a stamp that I bought from Jovita.The ribbon is from my stash and the die cuts are bought from Ujjwal.The bird image is stamped and heat embossed.

Colours on Black

Weird title for a post...but you all are aware that I am weird ..right?
My obsession with challenge blogs is still going strong and I am regularly net surfing and looking for challenges and this one is for a favourite challenge blog called Unity Opportunity challenge blog.
I saw the tutorial on Splitcoast and since my white embossing powder hasn't arrived yet from priyanka...I used white ink and then coloured with my watercolour pencils.I love the effect .what about you?

Today I will have a song In my heart

The weather and this place are getting sadder by the day.I don't have the correct adjective actually so consider this.The sun refuses to show up...and how will he with non stop rain...and because of that constant powercuts....constant chill.Right now I am shivering....and I can't keep myself warm...coz every heating equipment in this house needs electricity...and which is conspicuous by its absence.After cooking,sweeping ,mopping and doing every mundane job possible in this pathetic weather....I decided to craft and why?
Because my motto to drive away the gloomy greys is to craft... so here I am.
The insides.
The stamp is from Unity ....their current challenge says make something with Something Old - Something New
Something Borrowed - Something Blue.So something old is the CS and the green ink and something new is the embossing folder...something borrowed is slighty tough...It is actually a thought borrowed from fellow blogger Bhawna to make something with Bird image...and Blue is right now my state...due to the cold.
and the sketch is from Merry Monday.The colors chosen are from Color Throwdown.Their colors of this week are Ivory,olive,red and kraft.Also suitable for the Cute Card Thursday challenge.
Please excuse the poor quality of pictures.It is wet and cold outside and no sunlight...so had to click this in my daughter's room

Thinking of you now and always

Hi peeps!
How are ya all?I am freezing.I can see snow capped mountains.....Only when my eyes aren't watering due to the strong and chilly winds.....and honestly I don't care for the snowfall .the only thing I am waiting for is the Sun.My clothes aren't drying.It took me quite sometime to even click these pictures because the card too blew away a couple of times .
And as the title suggests that I am thinking of Sun now and always...because I just can't see it.
This card is suitable for the Unity opportunity challenge and also derives its inspiration for the layout from Freshly made sketches.It uses the colours of the Color Throwdown which are Real Red,Basic Black and Basic Grey.If it can be called CAS then it also is suitable for the current challenge at ICR. and Create me Pink

Thanks for passing by.I am also playing around with my pictures on Picassa.You unfortunately are subjected to my experiments.
HUGS!
