CASEing

Hello everyone,

I went on a vacation for 10 days...it was awesome...
I am back...feeling fresh and lively...and ready to share a card...

Usually when I case a card...I CASE the sketch....but this time I CASEd the elements and the style of this card by Vicki...

I took the following elements from this stunning card:

1. The diagonal black stamping in the background

2. The pop of blue colour

3. The vellum for the sentiment

This is my interpretation of the card->

Orange Birthday

Hello crafters,

Here today with a very simple card...
I bought this stencil recently and was very eager to use it...

I used Wild Honey Distress Ink on the stencil and attached the two pieces on a card stock...

I made 2 versions of the card...

In the first one I coloured the card base with the distress ink to blend with the panels...

For the second one, I kept the card base as is...

Here a closer look at the panels...

Which version do you think looks better???

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

Christmas is not far away...and I have been loving creating Christmas cards...

I love zentangle and doodling a lot...

I have also been loving chevron pattern lately...

I thought of combining the two...

So here is the card...

A few more pics of the card and the baubles...

     

                     

First, I drew the baubles and filled them in with some patterns. Then I drew the chevron border with the White Sakura marker (I am loving it). Then added some hand lettering.

But something seemed to be missing. I wished I could add a baker's twine. But I don't have any....so...I took some embroidery thread and coloured it with a red marker.

Hope you all like it.

Hello everyone,

Today I am here with a card for someone very dear to me...my grandma...
She is so loving, inspiring and independant...Its hard not to be impressed by her...

I made this card for her 80th birthday...
She likes light/subtle colours...so I kept in simple...

A scissor, a ribbon, a patterned paper, a cardstock, a flower...

And the card was ready.

It was an easy and quick card...

Hope you all like it
