Hi there,
Today I have a rather busy card to share with you. I have combined many challenges too (not something I usually can do!). Cutting short my blah-blah, here is the card:
Why do I call it a busy card - ah well! As most of my fellow Indian crafters know, we are finally getting some sort of embossing powder out here... I bought my first little jar over the weekend. If you look at my card base closely, you will notice that I have heat embossed flowers in the background (that's something 'new new new' for me!). Thanks to my good friend, Shalini, for introducing me to the method of heat embossing without a heat gun :-) a few months back. I've been trying it all day yesterday and did it again today :-). I also created a glitter strip inspired by the PTI Make It Monday Challenge. And I added some lace to outline the square PP panel.
The challenges I am submitting this card to, are:
1) Totally Hues Challenge #2 for the lovely colors (I tried getting the closest matches possible)
3) Make It Monday Challenge #3 - using a line of glitter
4) Incy Wincy Designs #82 - Use punches or dies
5) Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings #18 : Spring Themed card
Supplies used:
CS: Fabriano (chocolate and aqua)
PP: Pebbles Inc
Stamps: PTI Beautiful Blooms II, PTI Mega Mixed Messages
Ink: Pretty Color (Hobby Ideas)
Others: beautiful flower brad (RAK from Yvonne), gorgeous lace from mom's stash, buttons from my stash, felt from local craft store
Tools: Dies from PTI and Spellbinders
ETA: FOR MY INDIAN COUNTERPARTS - Embossing powder is available at Hobby Ideas stores. How good or bad it is, I do not know coz I haven't used any other. the original Indian Stamping Queen aka Tejal may be able to help us with that :-)
See you around,
Smita
