Congrats card share

Hey all..

I was having a boring day, until the weather decided to do a lil twist. LOL. Its pleasant and very romantic now. So I thought to make a card for Cardabilities challenge # 84. It was a tricky one. And I chosed different color scheme this time. Orange is so not my color, but i wanted to play bold and beautiful. ;)

By following the Cardabilities sketch # 84:

I made this card.. Now let me tell you a lil something about my card.

This card is pretty dimensional. I adhered book text as background, and then used patterned paper by basic grey (I dont remember the collection). I'm so regretting the fact that I covered the pretty patterned paper, but thats how the sketch goes.

The beautiful paisleys you see is dry-embossed. I punched Congrats using a border punch (my brother got me from Thailand). I had no silver ink, so I heat embossed the backing strip in silver and adhered on the back of my punched strip. The lovely flags beneath the shabby chic lace are embossed and inked as well.

These flowers are punched and then treated well using inks and stylus.. Heart is hand-cut and glittered to give more interest to my card.

I am in love with these daisies now a days. Its like my second favorite after paper peonies.

Let me know what do you think? Is it good?

Leave your feedback in the comment section, and i'll pay you back a visit. :)

Have a great day, ya'll.

Deejay.

Enjoy Life's Moments

Hey everyone!
I'm here to share with you a card I made today. I have been dyinggg to get my hands on the heat embossing system, but offcourse because of the obvious reasons I was not able to get that.
But now, I got em. And its FABULOUS :D
This thing is magical (saying it in smurf's style. LOL)

I added three layers as base, just to give my card a lil extra dimension.
Then I adhered book text in the back, and then comes my final layer. The heat embossed and inked one.
I had this stamp since forever, its HUGE. And I'm still not sure why I never use this gorgeous stamp ever.
Anyway. I used two brown tone distress inks in the background.. Distressed the edges using my new found love Time holtz paper distresser. For the sentiment, I heat embossed "enjoy life's moment" on black cardstock. Added a lil bit of gesso on the edges of my sentiment banner and adhered it using foam tape, for more dimension.
So, over all this card is embossed dimensional card. hehe.
I hope you'll like what I have made so far. Please leave your comment down below. That matters, ALOT!
Have a great day.

Birthday babe

Hey everyone!

Sorry I was not updating this space, got carried away.

I'm here to share a wall decor. I used Saturated Canary image, colored it using Faber Castell color pencils.

Used handmade and punched flowers along with two mulberry roses (small).

 I added glitters in her hair. and around the sentiments. Added white lace behind the stamped image. And some bold pink floral lace on the bottom.

This pink rolled flower is handmade.

I hope you'll like it. Leave a comment and subscribe if you get some time.

Have a great day.

P.S. Weather has suddenly changed, a good change. Alhamdolillah. :)

First Expo!!

Hiya ppl.
I hope you all are having a great day, so far. I'm here to share photos from my
 FIRST EXPO that has just held in Islamabad, Pakistan. It was a 2 day event. So overall we had fun. And took LOTSA photos for you :D

 

I shared a booth with a fellow crafter, Hence some of her products were there too..

But overall, the response was marvellous. I'm going to shop more for the supplies, since i earned pretty much from the expo ;)

See you later.
Good night!

Grunge, oh wait. Its vintage grunge.

Hey blog friends!!

I'm here to share a card with you, thats the only thing i am having fun creating.

This is slightly different than the others. I wanted dark, wooden background. Looks like i nailed it. Its the BEST i could have done with my homemade stamps and oh-so-beloved distress inks. :D

My card is originally 4 3/8 by 6 1/4 . I know, thats an odd size. But I wanted to work on 4.5x6 inch card surface. So while layering the base, it went a lil bigger unintentionally.
I used homemade and bought stamps in the background. Went crazy with the distressing. So far, its good and i'm satisfied with the results :)
I wanted the neon shade on my card as a focal point. So i chose this pink neon cardstock that i had in my stash. Used other pink shades too. Some handmade leaves and swirls. I'll show you the close ups.

Can you see the texture in the background?? Its beautiful.. Oh and i added a glittered polaroid frame too. My new found obsession, polaroids! :D

I soo wish i get the die cut/emboss system, only then would i be able to go more crazy with the textures. :D
Oh bdw i torn the edges, too.

So far i'm happy the way it turned out. I was a lil scared in the beginning, but it was before i added the sentiment. Now it makes me happy. :)

Leave your feedback, people.
Much love.

P.S. Ramadan Mubarak to all the Muslim/Muslimah out there. May you have a great blessed month, do dikr and dont forget to recite Quran-e-Pak. May Allah Almighty shower His countless blessings on you and your loved ones. Ameen. Remember me and my family in your prayers too.
 

Inky goodness

Hello everyone!

I'm here to share a card with you all. It was my first try with heavy distressing. Excuse the faults, please. lol.

Background was originally white. I applied two colors of distress inks: vintage photo and Mustard seed. Blend them together, applied script writing background stamp. My paper has a lil fabric feel, thats why the color looks like smooth velvety fabric. Looks wonderful in person.
I added a strip of patterned paper, coiled some black twine on it. Lil bit of doily, and a handmade flower that has pearl trim and black yarn in the back. Flower was white, too. I inked it using my adirondack sprays (LOVE THEM)

Can you see the amazing texture going on in the background?? Its FABULOUS!!

 

I'm in love with the results, and would definitely use the same technique on another card.
Leave your feedback, people. Thats a MUST!!

P.S. I'm not fine. I have severe pain in my gallbladder, please pray for me. Thank you in advance.
