Birthday blooms :)

Today’s post is dedicated to my Dearmost Mom.

“Very Very Happpppy Birthday Ma…Love u soooooo much”.

This is a CAS card i made for her..

White CS is embossed  and this front panel is matted on a base White CS. To the front panel, Twine is wrapped at centre of it and on it added vellum flowers. This is the first time tried using vellum to make flowers. And these are colored using Distress Stains- Rustyhinge, Mustard seed, Milled lavender and Dusty concord.

CLD ivy florish diecuts are added around the flowers. Scalloped sentiment banner is added on top of a layered diecut. The sentiment banner is embossed and distressed at edges for the sentiment to pop up.

Butterfly is embossed with Black Ep and distressed with tumbled glass for that slight blue tint.
Few pearls are added for the final touch.

Hope you like it.

Quilled Sunflowers card :)

Oh Yeah…Its been a loooong time since i quilled. After my Quilled Dedication frame for my granny, this is the card in recent times i made.

These quilled elements were made some 10 days before and just assembled today to form sunflowers, leaves, tendrils and twines. Happy to share since its completely made using Quilling Needle only and the flowers are made with 1.5mm width strips and distressed on tips with rich cocoa momento ink. Fringed flowers are distressed with wildhoney DI on edges. For an added interest, made some multistrips scrolls.

The background is made by scoring a Kraft CS on scoreboard randomly and distressing again with rich cocoa momento ink to give a wood bg and matted on sandcolor CS. And the this mounted on a black CS whose surface is vertically scored to create little texture to the card.

Wrapped Raffia around card, added a wooden button and a sentiment banner to finish the card. Hope you like it!

Yet another Butterfly card from me. Little one is back to school today and now in KG2 🙂

Used only CheeryLynn designs dies to make this card. Love the DCWV Mariposa collection a lot. Matted this to the kraft cardbase. Diecut CLD English teaparty doily from a Pattern paper and distressed with Tumbled glass DI. And the Tiffany border diecut is added to it.

And top of doily, Bloom is added by embossed and distressed petals using CLD sunflower die and CLD tropical florish is diecut from vellum to tone down the effect and tucked underneath the bloom. CLD  small exotic butterflies are diecut and distressed with tumbled glass DI and rich cocoa momento ink.

Sentiment is stamped from IBS butterfly wings stamp set and so the butterflies and the dragon fly. As a final touch, used fiskars tetra corner punch, added white rhinestones on corners and mini pearls on butterfly bodies.

Wanted to try out this combination and just went on what heart desired and this is the result. Hope you like the card. Many thanks for the visits and comments and that is what driving me in this crazy passionate crafty world 🙂

Altered Wooden Ladle – A Wall Hanging :)

Hey Hello!!!

This time have come up with an altered wooden ladle….into a wall hanging 🙂

New wooden ladle was taken and painted in white acrylic paint and after drying,  distressed with Rich cocoa momento and sanded with sanding block to give a shabby chic look.

Before:

To level the depth of the ladle, added some packaging cardboard as strips and hot glued it. Then on top of it, added 2 English Tea Party Doily Angel wings is diecut from IBS vintage florals pp as base. The focal element – Butterfly is a diecut and distressed with Danube momento ink and added just below the sentiment diecut,which is also distressed with rich cocoa momento. A scallop border sticker is added as a trim under doilies on the baby pink tulle.

Handmade blooms 🙂

Tried making some crinkled flowers with pearl centers and added with florishes. Those leaves are from Ivy florish diecuts. Flowers are distressed with rich cocoa momento and Tumbled glass DI and misted with water to get shapes.

Wrapped the handle with pink grossgrain ribbon and added MS butterfly stamp and punch butterflies in series and a big butterfly diecut is added on a sentiment diecut saying “Spread your wings and Fly”. Few trims on the handle with blue grossgrain ribbon as loop for hanging 🙂

Love those sentiments and now only had time to create apt project for that 🙂
