Winter Holidays With Simon Says Stamp

Hello Friends..

Before I could start with my post I would Love to share a funny thing happened with me. Here In India we have Summer Holidays and I didn't know at all that in US they have holidays in December. So when we got to know theme of the challenge I was totally confused as why Holidays in Winter. Any way lets get back to the post. So now you know the theme of the challenge and the collaborating company for this month still I will make it clear.
This month at A Blog Named Hero we are collaboration with the Simon Says Stamp and our theme for this month is Winter Holidays. Do visit the blog for more details and wonderful take on the challenge from my Dt friends.

Now lets come to my card..

• I prepared a card base with a light green card stock (its mix of kraft n green).
• Its a side folding 3.5x8.25 card.
• I heat embossed leaves from Simon Says Stamp set and die cut them out.
• Gold heat embossed sentiment on vellum and gave it torn effect.
• Arranged my elements on the smaller panel, edges of which I had distressed.
• Foam mounted panel on the card base. Glued few leaves flat and few foam mounted.
• Added a few golden dew drops.

•  Loved the dimension of the card and how it turned out.

Happy birthday to Honey bee stamps

Hi.. Friends, this month at A Blog Named Hero we are collaborating with Honey bee stamps and the challenge is Water colouring.
Visit blog for more details on the challenge and team members take on the challenge.

Two things which i always avoid in card making are masking and water colouring, both tests my patience. But for this card I am combining both,
I used images from two stamp sets of Honey bee stamps.

Loved the out come of masking and stamping, it really makes happy to know the dimension we create on a plain ,flat paper.

Coloured image with zig markers.

Then I used Infinity die to cut the water coloured panel, then stamped sentiment from Hero arts birthday messages. There was so much going on the panel that I thought will keep the sentiment small and sweet. Foam mounted the panel on a Gray card base.

Here is the look

Hope you liked my take on the challenge. Visit A Blog Named Hero blog for more details about how to enter to the challenge.

You're Fabulous

Hello, Welcome to my blog again. This month's challenge at A Blog Named Hero is up and here is my take on the challenge. Last week was A Blog Named Hero's 5th birthday and we had a huge bloghop, if you missed the event then no problem you can still have a look at all the projects of Day 1 & Day 2.

I firstly used a die to trace over on a white card panel which will guide me to stamp flowers. I used flowers from Hero arts Hello sunshine stamp and stamped them with black ink, used the same die which I used to trace and partial die cut the circle. I fussy cut the flowers which were inside the circle area.

Used Hero arts ink cubes to blend on the card base, stamped sentiment from Colour layering Flamingo.

Theme of this month's challenge over at A Blog Named Hero is FLORAL, so create your project with florals and link them to the challenge. And don't forget to use the logo of the challenge.
