Time Out Challenge #94

Today I’m sharing a card that I have created as my entry for Time Out Challenge #94…we have been given a picture for inspiration and the DT had been very creative as usual creating the most gorgeous cards for this challenge…I am always so amazed by the unique creations shared in this challenge…

This is the image provided for the current challenge…I decided to use the three colours – white,orange and brown – as well the underwater theme for my card…

I started by die cutting the front panel using a large stitched rectangle die and then used a stitched rectangle window die to create the window in the middle of this panel…

On a separate piece of white cardstock,I stamped and die cut the fishes and the plant…I also die cut a small rectangular piece and used the snowfall die to create a bubbles kind of pattern in the background…I applied some salty ocean Distress Ink on this panel and spritzed some water on it…I also added a silver foil paper behind it…

Before adhering all the element to the top panel,I stamped the sentiment using Altenew autumn blaze ink and then assembled all the elements on the top panel which I then adhered to a plainw hite card base…

I did not use any embellishments on this card as I wanted to keep it clean and simple,but I did add a bit of shine to the fishes by using my Spectrum Noir glitter pen…

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today…Have a lovely & blessed day ahead….Happy crafting…!!

I Need Your Hugs.Stat!

I loved the images from the Dogs stamp set by Katzelkraft…especially their expressions…so when I bought their Jungle Animal stamp set I was even more excited to used those images for my cards…I found the elephant image in this set really adorable with a sad face and looked like she/he really needed a cuddle or two…!!

I first stamped some grass at the base of a  white panel…I used two shades of green for a bit of dimension…I wasn’t too confident at directly stamping and colouring the elephant image so I stamped and coloured it on a separate piece of white cardstock and then cut it out and placed it on the stamped grass…

I a die cut banner from same light grey cardstock as the card base and then stamped the sentiment on it using black and red ink..I adhered this banner in the middle of the front panel using some craft foam underneath…

I adhered the white panel to the grey card base and added a few silver Nuvo drops to embellish my card…

So happy you stopped by my blog today…thank you…have a happy and crafty day ahead…!!

Time Out Challenge #93 – Breast Cancer Awareness and/or Friendship

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and there are a lot of organisations who work really hard so that more and more women are aware of and are saved from this deadly disease…eight women in Australia die everyday due to it…Here in Australia The National Breast Cancer Foundation funds research for prevention and cure…we also have the McGrath Foundation…so even if you are unable to donate or fundraise for these charities,do visit their websites as you can get a lot of information from them…

The theme for the current challenge over at Time Out Challenges is also Breast Cancer Awareness and this time I have made quite a simple card for it…

I chose a textured pink cardstock for the top layer of my card and adhered it to my plain white card base…I then cut a white panel slightly smaller than the pink panel and stamped the sentiment on it using some picked raspberry Distress Oxide ink…I clear heat embossed it before adhering this panel to the card front…

On a separate piece of white cardstock,I stamped the hearts from the Heart Confetti stamp set by Clearly Besotted…I used the same ink for this and clear heat embossed these heart images as well….I used the coordinating die to die cut these hearts and adhered them on the card front using some thin adhesive foam squares…

Lastly,I cut a small strip of pink cardstock and shaped it into a ribbon shape before placing it just above the stamped sentiment…

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look at my card today….Have lovely & blessed day ahead…!!

Camp Create Day 4 + Bonus Bonfire – Monochromatic Magic & Awesome Ombre

There were two techniques shared on the My Favorite Things blog for MFT Camp Create Day 4 and Camp Create Bonus Bonfire and I tried  out both of them and am sharing them in today’s post…while the ombre technique card came together very quickly,the monochromatic one took a while as I don’t invest much in background stamps and didn’t have any for this technique,so had to really think hard to come up with a design that I was happy with…

For the Monochromatic Magic technique, I chose a textured pink cardstock for the card base and die cut the top layer from white cardstock…then using my Misti and the candles from Make A Wish stamp set,I  covered the a bottom section of the candles with abandoned coral Distress Oxide ink and stamped it on the white panel…similarly,I used picked raspberry and worn lipstick for the rest of the candles and the flame…I used the abandoned coral shade again to stamp the hearts in the flame and used some glossy accents on them for a bit of dimension…

The sentiment was much easier to create…I die cut the sentiment from white cardstock and used the same shades of Distress inks and the mini ink blending tool to create the ombre effect on it.. die cut the sentiment again from white craft foam and adhered the two before placing them on the card…

I also added craft foam under the top panel before adhering it to the card base…I have used a few sparkling clear sequins to embellish my card…

For participating in Day 4 of MFT Camp Create I have earned this badge…

The second technique was shared in the Camp Create Bonus Bonfire….it was great to learn how Stephanie created her cards using the ombre technique to create the background as well as colour in the images…I had already used Distress Inks for my previous few cards,so I decided to use some watercolors to create this card…

I started by creating the blue ombre background for the front panel of my card…I saturated the watercolor cardstock panel with water first and then started adding blue Peerless Watercolor slowly from the base upwards so that the colour lightens toward the top section…once dry,I die cut this panel and adhered it to a plain white card base…

On a separate piece of watercolor cardstock,I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Fancy Flowers stamp set using black onyx Versafine ink and then heat embossed them using clear embossing powder….I then used the same technique as the background panel to colour in these images for an ombre effect…

Once dry,I die cut them using the coordinating dies and adhered them onto the card front…I adhered one of the flowers using some adhesive foam for a bit of dimension…

From the leftover piece of the front panel,I stamped and die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the card front using some craft foam underneath…to embellish my card I have simply added a few Nuvo morning dew clear drops…

I have now earned this badge as well for participating in MFT Camp Create Bonus Bonfire ….
