Grrrrrrrrr...... and a card!

Grrrrr... because my Cuttlebug is still not with me! The parcel has been lounging around with the Indian Customs and then India Post for around a week now! Frustrating to know that it is sooooo close yet so far! :-(

Today's card is one of my favorites to date. Nothing much t write about... someone I know had asked me to make one for his wife (who is a super dancer and choreographer). This is a sample I made for him. I hope he likes it...


The image of the couple is a clipart. I hand-cut it (I'm trying my hands at the famous Scherenscnitte Silhouette technique these days; even got a new pair of scissors just for that LOL!!Anyway, I had this image in mind ever since he asked me to make the card... The gorgeous floral paper is from Hobby Ideas; the epoxy word sticker is from Donna's Heidi Grace pack :-); the lace, button, flower, rhinestones, twine and eyelets are all from my stash.Hope you like the card too...
Hoping this qualifies for a few challenges:

Ooh-la-la Creations Challenge : A button, a bow(its on my button) and some bling
Cute Card Thursday (once more): Anniversary
Michelle Perkett's challenge on PCP (please count the floral paper and faux stitching till I get another card ready for this! ;-) )

Ciao,
Smita

  4. Fabulous card, Smita! (Yes I see that little epoxy sticker! LOL) I'm so impressed with your paper cutting. Next thing you know you'll be ordering a Cricut. Can you imagine who long THAT would take to get there. You must be dying waiting for your bug! What's wrong with those people? Don't they know how IMPORTANT it is? Love this! xxD

  13. Superb card! very apt for a dancer...
    Don't worry, your cuttlebug will be with you soon..my parcel of stamps sat with the post office for 4 weeks before I decided to track it down..they didn't bother informing me that it had arrived..
    Where have you ordered your bug from?
