I used white and yellow seam binding ribbon to created an elegant bow...

Guest Designing Apearance at Scrappy Sketches

Hello dear followers and visitors :)

I am pleased to announce my guest designer appearance at Scrappy Sketches Challenge Blog. I am not quite sure when they are going to post my card on their blog, but you can certainly check out the inspiration they already have on their blog and maybe join the challenge while there is still time.
My project is a part of ongoing challenge at their blog and here is what I made based on their sketch that I shall show you in a bit...

Here is the sketch:

The flowers were hand made and inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink...

I arched the sentiment strip to give the card some extra dimension. I hope you can see the texture of the stamped and heat embossed vintage writing. I used white embossing powder and then inked that piece with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink...

And I made a box for the card...

Guest Designing at Special Day Cards

Hello, everyone,
I am super excited to announce my Guest Designing spot at Special Day Cards Challenge Blog.
If you are not familiar with this amazing challenge blog, I hope you'll take this opportunity to check it out and join the fun.
I am  their guest at challenge with theme Birthday Cards with Strips.
Here is my contribution to their DT inspiration:

I printed the sentiment on a piece of heavy white cardstock; then stamped the swirl stamps with embossing ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I used Faded Jeans DI to give the cardstock random patches of lighter and darker blue color.

Then I layered some while lace strips on the base of the card, tore up the cardstock with sentiment into strips and layered them with additional lace and flowers randomly sprinkled here and there.

Of course, I could not resist to add a shabby bow. I made this card for my dear blog friend Branka. By the time this post is published, this card will already be delivered to her...Well, once again, Happy Birthday Branka!!!

So, I hope you enjoyed this post and would love to see you join the amazing Special Day Cards challenge
