My Favorite Things - Color Challenge 68

Hi Peeps!

This is my second card of the day. Yay! So glad that I was able to make 2 cards in a day. 

This one is based on MFT Color Challenge. Here is the color palette.

and here is my take on it.

For this card, I have used one of the cute bear image from BB Beary Special Birthday stamp set and made it the focal point of card. I colored it with Kuretake zig clean clear real brush pens.

The Banner die is from MFT again. But I guess it has been discontinued as I was not able to find its link.

The sentiment is from Big Birthday Sentiments stamp set. The papers are again from MFT. I have used Plaid Patterns Paper Pack and Dots & Stripes Confection Paper Pack.

I hope you liked this as well. Do leave a comment please! :D

MFT Sketch Challenge - Sketch 331

Hi All!

How are you doing? I am back again after a long break and hopefully I will stick around this time. Lot of things are happening  at the personal front which are keeping me busy. But I did managed to sneak out some time to play along latest MFT challenges and made 2 cards; one each for Sketch and Color challenge!

First up is card for sketch challenge.

Here is the MFT sketch number 331.

and here is my interpretation.

I made a shaker card with a cute unicorn flying in the sky full of clouds. The unicorn, cloud/rainbow image and the sentiment is from MFT BB Magical Unicorns stamp set and colored the images with Kuretake zig clean clear real brush pens.

For the clouds I used one of the three dies from MFT Die-namics Stitched Cloud Edges. This time I used pattern papers lavishly as I newly bought 2 paper packs from MFT :D

Here I have used Dots & Stripes Sorbet Paper Pack and Dots & Stripes Confection Paper Pack from MFT again. The stripes and dots are so gorgeous over yummy colors. I am totally in love with these papers!

Here is a close up of shaker component. The acetate sheet and sequins are from a local store.

I have mentioned all the supplies with the links. In case you have any question/comment, please leave a comment.

Have a great day!

AlteNew one layer CAS cards

Hi All,

Quickly sharing a set of cards I made. I love making multiple cards as supplies are already out and if design cane be mass produced nothing like it. I wanted to use AlteNew Painted flowers stamp set and also wanted to try stamping on colored cardstock. So I made 11 one layer cards at once. Misti reduced the time I needed to try multiple color combinations by many folds. I totally love my Misti tool. Even to stamp a little sentiment, I use Misti.. :P

I first selected my colors for the cardstock. I love the PTI cardstock as it's thick and comes in lovely colors. Then I selected by inks. Basically I used 3 sets of inks; reds, blue and yellows...  and decided which cardstock will go with which family of inks..

Since it's colored cardstock, I first stamped the base flower stamp with white ink. It helps in bringing out the true color of inks. I used Misti to prepare the design and stamped the base flowers on the cardstocks.. Then I went ahead to stamp rest of the layers..

Since there is nothing much do to on one layer cards, I added a border by using MFT basic stitched lines. I love this die set too.. It comes as a set of 6 with different designs. I hope you liked the cards.

I want to play along with following challenges :

1. Simon Says Stamp - Something New - Used my new Painted Blooms stamp set from AlteNew

2. A blog named hero - One Layer

3. CASology - Simple

4. Seize The Birthday - Anything Goes (All are birthday cards. You will never have enough :) )

5. Paru's Card making challenges - Keyword "NEW"

Thank you and have a great day!

Sequin Shaker birthday card + Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop!

Hi All!

Today I am participating in "Cutting Edge Blog Hop" hosted by Pretty Pink Posh, for those who love die cutting... and I am one of them..

Here is my card I made for the hop. I made a birthday Shaker card using my favorite dies (Spellbinders Label 8) to make shaped card. Those who follow me would know I love the shape so much!:

A view from the side :

I locked the sequins using acetate and double sided foam tape. So when you shake the card, the sequins move around. I am sure kids will love it. Like I did! I had a difficult time yesterday deciding on the pattern papers to choose.. finally I picked my choice.. all papers are from different paper pads of different brands.. I matched the MS cupcake chipboard with the dotted PP from MME..

Here is the list of supplies I used :

1. Cutting Dies : Spellbinders Label 8 nesting dies for card base and sequin frame. PTI Birthday Die
2. Cupcake Chipboard : MS Modern Festive Collection
3. Papttern Papers : Mix of My Mind's Eye
4. Sequin : From Stash

Thanks for stopping by!
