Something in the air

Hiya friends,

This card is for the CDAC Progressive Challenge (CDACPC17) where the theme was "Something in the Air" and I have just made it to the deadline. I wished I had made more cards but due to time constraints, I just couldn't. I have made this card for my girlfriend who needs some encouraging words and thoughts for the hardships she is going through now.

The sketch is from I{heart}2stamps

Birthday Wishes

This weekend has been very crazy for me. Yesterday, I went to a sewing/craft fair and today, I took the kids to the nearest fair and boy, am I tired. I have added some stickles on the flower and hearts but with poor lighting at night, it did not come out well.
Here's the sketch I had to use

Rain or Shine

This is my first time trying to enter the Hero Arts contest with this month's theme being "Sunshine and Showers".

I have used the Hero Arts House with plant stamp and have stamped it four times. On the left, I have used bright cherry colours to represent Sunshine and on the left, dull colours to represent Showers. I have also colored the plants with copics. I have also used some foam dots to create some dimension for my black frame. The windows and doors have been fussy cut and it did take some time but I enjoyed it in the end.
Here's my card:

Supplies:
Cardstock: Black, White (Paper Mill Store)
Ink: Pigment (Aladine)
Foam Dots: Glue Arts
Copics: B02, YR02, Y08, V15, R32.

Happy Birthday Little Princess

A little princess will be celebrating her 5th birthday this weekend and I thought of using an unusual image as my focus. Usually it's always fairies and princesses but I wanted to play with the ostrich, which is usually seen as an "ugly" bird. I think it came out pretty, don't you think? I've cut one of the crowns from the patterned paper and used some foam dots to give some dimension.

Paper: Black (Bazzil), Pink (Recollections), Yellow dots (Nikki Sivils Kit); Princess Paper (Provocraft);

It's all about the bears

Good afternoon! I'm trying to finish the CDAC Progressive Challenge and to tell you the truth, I wasn't feeling it today. I've got a bad strep and my whole body is aching. I tried to push myself but it's not fun when I'm sick! No creativity happens...

I have used the sketch 161 from Card Patterns

I will update the supplies later. Sorry...

Dream with me

This card was for my daughter who likes to dream a lot:-) She is only 4 but you all know at this age, they love to dream and sometimes, I wish I could go ahead and dream away with her. She has a very big creative mind. I have stamped my criss cross stamp a lot of times to create my own pink paper. Unfortunately, I don't know the name.

I've inspired myself with the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches

and here's my take

Welcome Baby Girl

For this CDAC Progressive Challenge #14, the theme was "Baskets and Bunnies". Since my next door neighbour just had a baby girl a few days back, I wanted to make this sweet card for her. I think this card can also be used for Spring or Easter since she was born in Spring, don't you think?
