An experiment

Hello,

I recently splurged on some new stamps and inks and was itching to use them... (Don't we all love using the new supplies after the anxious wait for it to reach us).

This is like a complete Hero Arts stamp project... Love the brand and the stamps it has... Just so versatile to be used for any occasion at all..

Those o you who have liked my FB page must have already seen it, although I did add a few touches to it!

So here is the complete version of it.

I still have a long way to go before I can master the stamping technique but loving it nonetheless. It is such a challenge at times. I think of an idea and realize that someone has already done it.

Supplies used:-

Card stock=> locally purchased

Stamps=> friends definition from crafters corner, leafy vines from the craftshop and HA everyday sayings which was a birthday gift from Tee (Thanks baby:-*)

Inks=> Hero Arts soft pool shadow ink ( love it) from the craft shop and the purple one is from memento ( can never remember its name ) which I got from Varna's.

MS 3-in-1 butterfly punch

Pearls from stash

Thanks so much for dropping by... I have some more cards to share... Will come back soon...

Till then...

Good Morning Y'all,

It's the weekend and I have tons of work to get through... I made huge numbers of mother's day cards this time which were shipped without em clicking any pictures... yes yes you read it correctly.. I did not click pictures because they were personalized with the mother's pictures...They were good fun to make..The card I am showing today is also for mother's day from my cousin to my aunt.

A quick card made using the reverse masking technique... Mind you I am still new to this whole stamping technique thing and would love a feedback.. I want to improve my stamping..
I had recently purchased a peacock feather stamp from the color conceptions store (now the craft shop) and had been itching to use it... It is so gorgeous and the detailing after stamping is superb...

Another thing which I love is my new bahama blue ink.. I have been wanting to buy this ink ever since I had seen one of tejal's ATC on her blog where she has used it and there after on quite a few cards...So I combined the two to make my card...

Hiya folks,

How is everyone enjoying the heat.. I am getting baked here what with such high levels of humidity and unbearable heat.. Staying awake is a pain.. All day long I feel like staying inside my air conditioned room. Ala, that would have been perfect but not possible


I made a double twisted easel card last week using my brand new whimsy stamps... Whimsy stamps are just too cute and have some adorable images which you color..I even noticed a few things regarding inks this time... I recently purchased the rangers archival ink pad and trust me... it is a must buy for people who like coloring... The image is crisp and gives such an even tone color finish it is unbelievable.. Try another with a memento ink and see the difference and you would understand what I mean...

I think I have talked enough for today... Now I shall go on and share the pics...

There is a tag behind the image panel. I have stuck the PP only on 3 sides keeping one side open to slide the tag in.

Babies are a blessing

I am finally back... My computer is finally working and you have no idea how happy and overjoyed I am.. I sound silly? Try staying without your pc for a while.. A smart phone is great but your pc is your pc... sentimental attachment to it...

I am right now flooded with baby orders... pink and blue everywhere... :D...

Today am sharing a quad easel card for a baby girl.. i have used pinks and purples on the card ( bahhh, obvious!!!))

Quad easels are great fun to make and very very versatile.. I keep emphasizing on this point every time I pose a quad easel here.. For those who have never given it a shot.. give it a try... they are marvelous..

here are the pics...

True Friend

Hello,

I finally am having a little breathing space after back-to-back orders... Phew... Made a couple of double z-fold cards during the day yest using one piece of 12x12 card stock.. I am stocking up on cards because I can see an immediate need for them in the not-so-distant future.. :D

The double z-fold card looks really cute in real life... You could even call it a gate-fold card with a twist because the basic design structure and mechanism is that of a gate-fold card... I have a lot of love for special folds for simply I feel.. When you have the tools.. try something totally over the top rather than just folding a card into half... Mind you, even that simple folded card might give you nightmares at times but to cut a long story short, I have an attachment to special folds and hope to try as many as possible...

So here are the pics of my card.. the colors are inspired by the current Itsy Bitsy Logo color challenge.

Considering the fact that I have so many things happening at the same time including handling and minding my niece while her parents are away.. it was quite a handful.

I'll just go on and share the pics with you guys... It is quite self-explanatory....
