Card with Tag

This month I did pretty less crafting, busy with work and other stuff. Did only yesterday and today. This was made for my niece for her school, later I decided to do a matching tag and participate in the challenge. Though the card and the tag both are not that good and people have awesome creations, still I wanted to play along.

Shabby Scary Cat

Shabby cat card, this is not really how I wanted it to look. This is specially made for lulupu challenge. I did not want to make circle and some die cut shape card so tried this. Wanted it to look cute but this is more like not even CAT but that's how it is. Was in no mood to do anything more with it. This is cat shaped card, distressed the edges with scissor the with distress ink. Some ribbons, laces, flowers and buttons. 

I wanted to use paper piecing to make her dress but then changed the mind.

Simple Thank U Card !

Today I made this simple and quick Thank U card. There is not much time and I was tired all Diwali chores but I was craving to do one so this one. Once again my favorite Washi Tapes rescued me. This embossed paper was a gift from Piali (Really thankful to her, my order to her was not big but she was generous enough to send a card kit as free gift). 

Another reason I wanted to keep this card simple because I wanted to show the embossed paper by Piali completely. This card is really a thank U note to Piali. She is the one who asked me if I have a blog and I should start and share it. Thanks Much.

I L U Card - Elements of 3 !!

This card made today, used washi tapes, pattern paper is actually from a cover and not really a pattern paper. It was beautiful that I did not want to throw it. Stitching and die cuts.

This card is made keeping some challenges in mind. One is JC's unusual wing, beyond grey, highlight sentiments etc. First is 3 parallel lines of washi tapes and 3 different colors as well. Next hot pink is card base, baby pink then stitching is done with red color thread. Heart die cut also has 3 colors, lowest one is red polka dot paper then some while pattern paper then red. I was so lazy to cut a new heart shape so I have reused from the scarps left over. It was not bad and I got to match 3 colors here so was good. 

And the sentiment " I Love U" is the highlight.

Lastly 3 pattern papers, 3 colors arranged in parallel :)

Love Card with Flowers !!

This card has love theme. Can be used for anniversary or wedding etc. As you see die cuts are used, some from crafter's corner, some from craft adda and one I bought from Kavi Tha. These flowers are recycled and hand made from old flower pots. First got all the petals, washed these, dried, colored a little then stacked all petals to give a flower shape.

One thing I like about this card is the shadow affect in the couple standing. -:)
