CAS birthday card AAA #45

Namaste, welcome to my blog. Its new calendar year and new challenge at AAA birthday challenge. The theme of the challenge is Anything goes with birthday theme. For more details visit blog here.

Ink blending was always my favourite technique. But right now all my ink pads are dry so i cant use them. Its story of every year so i stopped reinking them. But for the first challenge of the calendar year so I ink blended small piece of paper and die cut it to make my card center and stamped a small sentiment which fits perfectly in this small space.

I dry embossed the card panel and added the ink blended piece on card front. For interest i used silver thread behind the sentiment and few enamel dots.

Here is my card

Pencil colouring – AAA birthday challenge

Namaste.. Welcome to my blog.. I am so delighted to join AAA birthday card challenges. I always loved playing AAA birthday card challenges, they are fun and birthday cards are always needed. So this month’s challenege is ANYTHING GOES WITH BIRTHDAY. For more details about the challenge and rules click here.

For my take i made a simple pencil coloured floral card. I am not a colouring fan for self but i do love ppl colour. I can never get such smooth blends and dreamy colouring effects they give. But sometimes i do like to colour just because i am hoarding so many colouring mediums. One such medium is my PRISMA colour pencils, which i rarely use just because of my toddler. Both are precious to me so keeping both away as much as possible. Do you relate ???

Too much of chit chat, lets look at my card. I used Pretty pink posh floral images and sentiment comes from Simon says stamp. Stencil from ALtenew.

Thank you for visiting. Hope to see you join the challenge.

A simple birthday card

Namaste everyone.. Welcome to my blog. Today is a new challenge at Addicted to stamps and more and challenge is Birthday. Foe more details on the challenge and more inspiration click HERE

I made a simple red and golf birthday card using SSS screen elements die. This die is in my collection from so many years and I never used it. So thought why not challenge self and make a card.

I die cut the heart shape from white card front and mirror card stack. Glued both a little off set so that gold peeks out. Then foam mounted the panel on a red card base. I ran the card front through die cut machine using Little inker designs die. Which adds a little iinterest to the back ground.

Sentiment is from SSS and i gold heat embossed it and added glod mirror cs as mat.

Thank you for visiting and hope to see you participate in the challenge..

Happy birthday – HLS stencil challenge – June

Namaste everyone. . Hope you all doing good being safe. Its time for new stencil challenge at Happy little stampers and theme is ANYTHING GOES with stencil. For more details on challenge visit hls blog.

Coming to my card. I am not a person who keeps embelishmets ready for future projects and over the time I had collected lot of (a bowl) of die cuts so thought i will put them into use.

It was really a quick card I just kept stacking all the diecuts on each other. I clear heat embossed top layer to add some interest. I used SSS stencil with black soot distress oxide ink. Sentent is also from SSS set.

Love the effect of clear heat embossing on die cuts.

Let me know how you feel about this card.

• Die cut them with coordinating dies.
• I prepped the card base by putting down light wash of green colour. Then added few splatters of green,pink n black colours.
• Arranged my florals to one corner.
• Sentiment is from SSS which was cut to strip and matted on light grey CAS.

Love how those splatters and light wash of  colour adds interest.

Stencil – Card

Hi…

Here I am with another card with stencil. Whatever I do, I go back to stencils very often. In past I had made a set of cards using same stencil which can see HERE.

Now coming to this card. I used a water colour paper, created mask by die cutting circle. I needed both -ve and +ve of the mask for card.

I placed -ve of the mask over the panel, placed the stencil and blended distress inks. Then i carefully removed -ve mask and placed +ve mask n secured stencil on same place and applied some yellow – orange shades on distress inks.

For sentiment i used SSS circle sentiment, stamped and die cut the sentiment. Used another heart circle stamp, stamped it with black ink and at the centre stamped a heart in yellow n orange inks, die cut it out.

I mounted the stenciled panel on a black CS then this piece on yellow card base with foam tape. Then i mounted circle sentiment and heart circle cut out with foam tape. Applied glossy accent on yellow heart. I needed few more accents for card, so die cut few hearts -applied black wink of stella – then glossy accent. They make really nice embellishments.

Math in the card – Concentric circles have same centre with various radius.
