Carbon Copied !!

Hello Everyone!!
Its a super exciting day!!! I'm playing along with the uber talented Karen Baker for her new blog feature CARBON COPIED. I loooooooove Karen's work and I'm feeling very honored right now :)

Here is how its works...we both use the same stamp set, same challenge, same post date and same post time. We picked PTI~ In Bloom stamp set and FTL#155 with a bit of ColourQ challenge today.

The ColourQ comobo we picked is.... CQC#89.

 

AND

Here is my take on this challenge...

Love this sentiment...I used the blooms to create a background. Just added a few Martha Stewart butterfly punch outs ,rhinestone and pearls to embellish the card.

Encrusted Jewel!!

Hello Everyone!!
YAY!!!! Its Friday!!  Always makes me happy...weekend, lots of family time, late mornings and lots of Fun!
Today I've a no-stamping project to share with you. I tried a new fabulous technique for this card and I'm very happy how it turned out... now you tell  me if you like it.

Gorgeous My Mind's Eye~ Lost & Found 2- Breeze paper collection and fabulous Stampendous Fran•táge Class A' Peel stickers are the perfect match. When I saw the crown patterned paper I knew I had use it with the crown stickers.

Now the technique part.... 

 I tried Fran Seiford’s Encrusted Jewel Technique  ...love it!!!
  Applied some versamark  ink on the bottom left corner and then sprinkled a mix of embossing powders, glitter and Mica Fragments on it. Heat embossed it.
Up close it looks wonderful..adds a great texture and interest to the project!

Hello there!!

I'm playing along with all PTI fans.....its August Papertrey Ink Bloghop Time!!

Its been a while .. the first time after I moved to India.

Here is this month's inspiration photo...

.....and here is my take on it.

I used Botanical Silhouettes ,Woodgrain and Background Basics-Botanicals stamp sets.

Does the tag shape look familiar to you all????

Its Mat Stack #3 ...only I recut the edge halfway using Mat Stack #2.

The rounded corner and rounded edge of the tag makes the card a perfect fit for PPA108 challenge.

This card is also for Paper Pretties (make your own background challenge) and Paper Take Weekly ( Dies To Die For challenge).
