Hey guys,
It is almost the weekend and I am so looking forward to it...It's been a really hectic week so far.. Lots of card making plus lots of social activities and I am all but drained.. Plus the heat in Kolkata is killer.. Phew!!
I've recently caught Tejal's butterfly bug...I am in love with the Hero Arts butterflies and I try using them at every possible opportunity... :D
I am having strange mood swings pertaining to color.. I had the pink phase, then a green phase.. My cousin thinks am a total whacko when it comes to colors.. So yesterday when I sat down to make the card trying to follow a sketch (at which I must say I failed abysmally, thanks to missing out on elements of the sketch).. I was too besotted by the color grey and wanted a grey black color card.. I've never done a proper grey and black combo card so well why not give it a try. And to add a bit of spice to it, I added the color yellow.. Have a look at the card...
I love the color combo.. The yellow stands out so well against the black.. :D
A close up shot of the butterfly...
I have crimped the black band on the PP and the circle on which the butterfly is placed.. Easy peasy card.. :D
And the most important bit of it I have got to show you... :)
Yippeee.. I finally have my own custom stamp.. This was designed by Tee.. Thanks so much Tee.. If you want one designed for yourself you can Contact tee here. The design was turned into an acrylic stamp by Varna's stamps so thanks so much for that Varshitha!!
Supplies:
Grey and white card stock=> Fabriano elle erre; black card stock=> Locally purchased
PP=> Street Lace mat stack purchased from the erstwhile craftingqueenstore
Stamps=> Hero Arts Antique engravings
inks=> Unity noir bought from Ujjwal
Coloring Medium=> Staedler water color pencils
Tools=> Surecut deluxe trimmer bought from lulupu and my paper crimper purchased locally
Black pearls=> birthday RAK from Spardha
That's all for today folks... Have a great day and a super weekend..
