This is my cutest card for now ;-) Been dying to use this color combination for a while but I never seemed to have the right supplies.

I am submitting it for:
> 2S4Y : love their sketch (when do I not!?)

> The Cuttlebug Spot challenge ("Bling"... though I am capable of much more bling ;-) )
> Cute Card Thursday: Touchy feely

The patterned paper is from Hobby Ideas; the pink oval behind the stamped image is a glitter paper my dad got for me from Australia (not visible perhaps but it has a nice shimmer); all other papers are from stash. Ahhh, yes, I have finally managed to emboss and ink Vellum... can you seeing it peeping behind the light pink rectangle?? :-) That's thanks to Beth Norman (love her tutorials!).

The image is again Meljen's digital stamp; the sentiment is Stampin' Up; the flowers and lace are from stash. I've also used some gel pens and 3D outliners for added bling and dimension.

Hope you enjoyed my little post...

Cheers,
Smita

Fair-i-ly beautiful!!

I am in love with today's card! :-) I found some gorgeous sheets of paper on a trip to the nearby market today. I've used a couple of them today :-) And I am proud of myself! Well, modesty seems to be my middle name, huh? ;-) Jokes apart, this card is for a few challenges
- Get Sketchy's 'awesome' sketch
- The Cuttlebug Spot's Color Challenge (Pink and green).
- Cute Card Thursday's Dimensional Cards
- Creative Cottage's Pretty Pink challenge
- Crafty Creations' Anything Goes Challenge # 61
- Incy Wincy Designs' Stitching
- Quirky Crafts Challenge's theme of Flowers
- Papertake Weekly's Open Theme

The image is a rub-on transfer from Hobby Ideas. I have used the 3D outliner for all the 3D glitter effect on the card. Stitched and ruffled a piece of organza ribbon... I made the flower by following a tutorial on the Whiff of Joy tutorial blog (well, loosely).. I did the white faux stitching with a white gel pen (one of my favorite tools these days!)

Hope you like it... 

Ciao,

PS: The green paper was already embossed.. And the pink had a very different texture... I hope you can see it in the picture... they were so beautiful that I couldn't let go of  them in the store... ;-)
