Snowflake

Hello,

I was supposed to post this on Friday...but forgot to publish it in all the excitement to attend a college friend's wedding...hehehe...
So here comes a delayed post...

The dare at Daring Cardmakers this week is "Decorate It!"

You could make something to decorate your home; a table decoration, a banner or some Bunting, a Christmas Cracker or similar, maybe something to hang on the tree or how about a topper to make a gift look extra special and festive.  

I made a 3-dimensional Snowflake...

Silver & White

Hello crafters,

We have a very very beautiful picture for elemental inspiration at Daring Cardmakers this week...
The silver and white look just magical together...

The elements I chose from this picture were the colours, the snowflakes and the Christmas theme

I made a card inspired by a snow globe...

It was very hard to capture the silver base in the photo... 

The base is actually a mirror like silver...it looks ethereal in real life ;)

Christmas Tag

Hello crafters,

The dare this week at Daring Cardmakers is to create a Tag...

I created a simple Christmas tag for the dare...

If you are wondering which stamps I have used for the trees...well...they are hand-carved stamps...

I am an amateur at stamp carving...but I love it...so I carved these simple Christmas tree designs for the tag...

Do hop on over to the Daring Cardmakers blog to see the amazing Tags created by our DT and join us in this fun challenge...

Origami Christmas Tree

Hello crafters,

I created a card inspired by the song "White Christmas" (with a tinge of green ;) )

Adorable Gift box

Hello everyone,

Its Friday...time for a new dare at Daring Cardmakers...
The dare this week is a bit different and I love it...

Purples & Blues & Shine

Hello everyone,

We have a beautiful elemental inspiration this week at Daring Cardmakers...

I absolutely love this picture...

The 3 elements I used were the colours, the leaves(Tree) and sparkle

I sprayed the entire card with Tim Holtz Mica sprays but unfirtunately I couldn't capture the sparkle on the card

Sparkle & Shine

Hello everyone,

The dare this week at Daring Cardmakers is "Sparkle & Shine"

I am not really a sparkle and glitter kind of person...but Diwali being only a few days away and with the dare this week....I went into full sparkle-mode this week...

I used Silver and Gold 3-D liners to draw the mandala on a black cardstock...

Card with a Tag

Hello everyone,

This week I am hosting the challenge over at Daring Cardmakers....
I am so glad...
The dare I chose is to include a tag on your card...

I made a vintage looking card this week...

I wanted the tag to be the focus...so I kept the base pretty simple

Monochromatic Geometric Cards

Hello Crafters,

This week, the dare at Daring Cardmakers is to create a monochromatic card....
I made a set of geometric paper-pieced cards....
I loved how they turned out...

Shades of Blue...

Shades of Maroon...

I am finally using my stash of pattern papers now and I am really enjoying it...

Starry Sky shaker card

Hello crafters,

This week at Daring Cardmakers, we have to make a card in memory of something...

A few years back, we had rented a cottage in Orcas island. The cottage was very very cozy.
The night sky was what stole my heart...the sky was packed full of stars....it was mesmerising...

I made a shaker card remembering that beautiful starry sky...

CASEing a dear friend's card

Hello crafters,

This week we have to create a card that’s inspired by the stlye, blog or a certain card of another crafter...
I chose this card made by my dear friend Suchi

I love her CAS style...which is very hard for me to do...

I have incorporated the layout and the grey with a colour theme in my card...

Harry Potter themed cards

Hello,

The dare this week at Daring Cardmakers is to make cards inspired by books...

I made Harry Potter inspired cards...

It was a lot of fun making cards with just a black marker and sketch pens...no fancy craft supplies...

Happy Travel

New month...new day...new dare at Daring Cardmakers....
This week you have to choose at least three elements from the beautiful picture Svenja has shared to feature on your card

Virginia's View Challenge - Blue Splatter on the card


ATSM - Clean & Simple card

Wonderful Woodgrain

Hello,

The dare this week at Daring Cardmakers is to feature Wonderful Woodgrain patterns on your cards as a focal element...

Raspberry & Lime

Hello,

Its Daring Cardmakers challenge time!!!

The dare for this week is "Raspberry & Lime"...

You have to make a card that uses bright green and vivik pink as the main colours...

I have never liked the pink and green combination...

But thanks to this dare...my view is changed forever...

I loved the combination so so much...that I created 2 cards using the same combination and idea...

(Sadly...the card didn't photograph very well)

For the first card, the wreath was created using the tiny flower stamps from the Mudra Floral Silouette card...

For the 2nd card, I used the smallest flower from my Mandala stamp set by Peekaboo to create the wreath...

The background was created by sponging Distress Inks through a lattice stencil...

And I used 2 sentiments from a Ki by Hampton Art stamp set...
