Washi + stamping = Pure bliss

Happy Saturday everyone,

What plans for the weekend? I intend to now devote all my time for planning my niece's first birthday bash.. Time flies and she will be a year old already... I made a quickie card yest using my very favorite Washi tapes and some stamping... Absolutely love the outcome and I am totally in love with my CAS phase.. To imagine I was clueless as to what CAS would entail and now my last few posts have all been CAS!!

This card also has butterflies.. I seem to have a lot of these butterfly stamps in my stash.. And they are just so versatile.. You can use butterflies just for any occasion.. :D

This card has been going on in my mind for quite sometime... The colors, the LO all was done in rough.. All I had to do was execute it on paper... I did it in 9 minutes flat... I love the fact that these cards can be produced in mass and for different occasions.. All I need to do is change the sentiment.. LOL

Supplies:-
White fabriano card stock
Washi tape
Butterfly is from MME lost & found set and the sentiment is from Fiskars lasting love
Inks-memento danube blue and lilac posies and the orange one from MICIA, black from unity.

Entering this card for the following challenges:-
For the love of crafting=> CAS
Ruby's Rainbow=> butterflies
YCU=> Hot Trends ( I used Washi tapes)


Thanks for dropping by... Have a fantastic weekend..


Hugs,

Hey guys,

I have been dreaming of this card ever since I saw it on Pinterest... it's not like the card I saw but the design was definitely inspired by Pinterest... It's become my favorite place to hang out and improve my CAS work.. I am in love with CAS and would definitely like to try some more of it..

Today's card is dedicated to tejal and her love for butterflies and eventually giving me a love for butterflies. Mind you, am still not THAT huge a fan of butterflies like tejal is but moderately influenced of course. And it is CAS, my new love and does not have washi... I did some stamping and coloring... Yayy!!

Will just go onto show you the card..

 

I love the contrast of colors against the black... Black rocks and everything on it just looks even more elegant... :D

 Black Fabriano cardstock, Baby blue CS from CTMH and brustro for stamping

My love for stamping (contd)

Hey guys,

Am back with another stamped card. Am loving this stamping bug. Till 2 years back I was unaware of anything like a so-called stamping technique existing and here I am today trying to learn something new. card making and blogging has opened a whole new world for me and I have learnt so much since i started blogging.

This is like a complete Hero Arts project.. Love love love the brand and the stamps it has. I unfortunately own just a  couple of them and am stretching it to the maximum.. :D.. I do plan to lay my hands on a few more really soon though.. :D

I tried the masking technique on this card. I had done a couple of masking cards before. You can check them out here and here. While in my earlier two cards had the focal image masked, in this I created a center circle mask in which to place my focal image. Take a look

Yes yes, I used my BG stamp again but it is just so gorgeous and this really was an idea to work on.. I tried masking on it. The center area where the butterfly is placed was masked using a post-it. You gotta look closely.  The butterfly is then stamped, cute, colored and popped up using double-sided tape.

 

Supplies:-
white cardstock=> Fabriano Elle Erre
Stamps=> HA flourish BG stamps.
                 Antique Engraving from HA
Inks=> Memento Dandelion for the BG bought from Imaginations and Unity Noir bought from Ujjwal
Mini retro flowers using Jeff Punch
Pie Lane glitter balls for flower centers
Brown bling from Stash
Coloring Medium> Staedler water color pencils


Entering it for the following challenges:-
 Creatalicious challenges=> Butterflies and add some flowers
Sundays with Crissy=> things with wings
