Floral Birthday Card

Been in long slumber..and yeah am back again with a floral birthday card 🙂

Hubby’s Europe trip for 2 weeks and other family commitments kept me away from Crafting and…atlast made this card to blog again here before my India trip in coming week…Ya its 2 month vacation at India 🙂

This card is for a sweet friend of mine who is celebrating Birthday today!!! Very Happy Birthday dear 🙂

Wanted to keep it sweet and simple!

Embossed the front panel and added a Blossom four largest diecut as focal point, for mounting the stamped flowers. Flowers are heat embossed in watercolor paper and Distress ink – Fried brick is used for coloring it. Vellum diecut fluorish is added by coloring it with Distress ink – Crushed olive.

Butterfly is heat embossed with Black Zing Embossing powder in watercolor paper and colored with Distress ink –  Wild Honey.

Then these are cut and mounted on the focal diecut which is distressed on edges using Distress ink – antique linen.

Sentiment is added on the banner and added just below the floral arrangement.

Hope you like the card.

Here a quick Happy Birthday card for my sweet little sister, who is celebrating her birthday today 🙂 and getting married this year May 🙂 To make her Special birthday, a little more special…a card from her crafty sister!!! Love u so much sweetie!!!

Tried to make a rose from floral fluorishes. First attempt in using that die and am super happy with the result..Added glossy accents on it to give dew drops look.

The diecut panel is made using Venetian panel thinlet and made into a pattern paper by distressing with spun sugar and angel pink momento ink. And used Kaisercraft stamp for the background and on it heat embossed a butterfly using white Ep. Followed a tute shared in IBS.

Made small heart banner using heart thinlits and the sentiment is stamped in Black archival ink and pearls were added for interest. Card made followed from a sketch and color inspiration

Hope you all like it. Thank you for all comments and visits 🙂

Wintry WOW !

My first post in this new year 2014…

Have done 3 White on white cards earlier and this one is so apt for the season 🙂
Done this card with just Cherry Lynn Designs Dies only 🙂

As the day is so gloomy today, unable to capture a proper pic 🙁

The White CS is used as card front on which snowflakes are heat embossed with White Ep. And the central focal point is a strip of White Thai natural fiber paper is added to give a wintry feel and to both ends added a strips of punched MS deco shell laces.

The central foliage is made from Cherrylynn Tropical florish, Cherry lynn Olive branches to it added five petal mini flowers from Cherry  lynn Embellishments B256. The two white flaky flowers are made using stamens of various sizes from the same CL Embellishment B256 dies.

Just love the Sunflower die and have used in many of my earlier projects here, here, here and here . Its one die which i very often attempt to give variation to the flowers. Hope you all like it!!!
Here the big flower is filled with pearls and few pearls of various sizes are used to create a bit interest.

And for the centre, sentiment is heat embossed using Zing Silver Embossing powder on a vellum. Its my first attempt using Vellum, Thai natural fiber paper and few other dies. Just loved using the fibre paper and for its lovely texture, going to use it often. And the butterfly is added and its a diecut from Cherry Lynn small exotic butterfly die.

Hope you like it!

Thank You!!

Been in MIA for more than a month and just came to bid farewell to the year 2013 and to welcome 2014 🙂 Though am not into crafting, really enjoying time with my little son as he is in winter vacation now. And of course learning baking. Tried Cakes, Dessert mousse and traditional recipes too 🙂

And to my card now 🙂

A big Thanks to all visitors, bloggers pals who made your visit here and commented. And this card is for you  all dearies.

Card front made with the Spellbinders Timeless rectangle die from a White CS, whose edges are distressed using wildhoney DI. And on it matted with pp from Zephyr which has mild scripts and few ladybugs here and there. Floral spray is made with dual tone Mulberry flowers, roses, cherry flowers and few fillers and cherrylynn olive leaves.

A closer view:

MS monarch butterfly is distressed with same DI and added below the sentiment. Few pearls and rhinestones as final touch.

Wishing all readers, blogger pals a very very happy, wonderful and a creative New Year 2014. May all your days ahead be so beautiful!!!
