Simple Stamping!

Two cards today with just stamping...

First card is made by stamping the lace stamp in a series on a Teal colored free digi pp. The Labels are made from stencils and sentiment is stamped on a central label. A netted feather is stamped on a white CS, distressed with distress inks, did fussy cut and added near the sentiment. This cardfront has been mounted on a white CS.

For this second card, I directly stamped the netted feather stamp at centre and smaller ones around it on a free digi pp. Rounded the top corners and added a punched strip of blue pp on the lower end and above which added a tiny bow and sentiment. The edges of the punched strip is distressed using Danube blue momento ink.

Few other shots

Below pic is the single stampset which is put to use to make these 2 cards.

Updation:

Alpha glitter stickers have been added instead of sentiment stamp, as its not included in this stamp set.
Hence this updation.

A little change in sentiments :)

Happy Stamping!!

Rainbow Card

A quick card from me again. This time its a rainbow colored card.

 

 Border stamp which i have been hoarding for a long time has been put to use at last. Made this background by stamping in series. Then i masked every portion carefully and distressed using the rainbow colors. Both distress inks and chalks are put to use here. Diecut doily is distressed at edges and added on centre of card with a punched multicolor monarch butterfly around which few pearls are embellished.  Wrapped a brown raffia around the bottom of cardfront and on it added the sentiment banner with two tiny brads. Then mounted this to the white cardbase.

Few other shots :)

Need a lot of practice in stamping and distressing...Hope you all like my amateurish attempts :)

Summer Sundae - A Quick Whip :)

A quick card whipped from my Craft space :)

Totally different from my usual style using a card sketch..

This time its a color-recipe challenge time at Crafter's corner. Love the colors mentioned in the palette. 

Light Teal and Broad strips used are free digital PPs. Light teal is colored and distressed at edges. Glitter corners are then added and matted with White CS. Damask Pattern PP are cut to 3 broad strips and added to the card . 

A central doily diecut is added at centre and to it a bunch of monarch butterflies are added from shades of color palette mentioned in challenge.Two tiny rhinestones are added to the butterfly body and wings are fluffed up to give little colory effect. A horizontal strip of digi PP is punched with MS deco shell and a white satin ribbon is tied at a side and at another end sentiment is added on a banner near to pink pearls. Two tiny brads from color palette are thus added finally to whip my Summer Sundae ..

Hope you all like it :)
