Distressed background and 2 cards

Hi.. Friends..
Its been a long time i posted here. I have 2 cards for you today. I wanted to make a shaker card from past few days. So i have one shaker card.

Card #1

* The panel I used for both cards is same.
* I gold heat embossed the floral bloom image on a white CS and applied distress inks.
* I die cut the panel with stitched scallop rectangle  dies (used both on same panel).
* Glued frames together and used doubled foam tape to create my shaker well.
* Heat embossed sentiment from Birdie stamp set.
* Used different coloured sequins and secured the frame on card base.

Here is the card

Card #2

This was very easy to put together as most elements were ready.

* I used remainders of frame for this card.
* I glued both pieces on an acetate.
* Heat embossed image and sentiment from magical fairies on vellum.
* Glued the vellum on the panel and the whole panel was mounted on card base with foam tape.

** Only reason to use acetate was to avoid cutting thin strips of foam tape.

Here is my card

Here is the closer look at the panel and sentiment.

Hi.. Crafty friends...

Here I am with my second DT post. To be frank I really struggled and liked the process of these 3 cards. I hope you are playing along with our October challenge which is a recipe. Please do read Guidelines carefully before linking your project.

Card #1
** I masked the card base (1"around the card base), placed the stencil diagonally on the base and secured with masking tape.
** I mixed candid apple distress ink with texture paste, applied it through stencil. Left it dry on its own.
** Die cut the scalloped frame (bigger) with same CS, few vellum fern flourishes and one white fern flourish.
** I double heat embossed the CS fern flourish with gold embossing powder to give it dimension. Die cut few Thank you, adhered them together and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
** To assemble the card, I foam mounted the frame on card base around the stencilled area. I put silver embroidery floss on top of which glued ferns. Added the sentiment.

Here is a close up of die cut embellishments, just love this texture of white embossing powder.

Hi..

Crafty friends..

Here I am with my detailed for this month on peek-a-boo blog. I made these 3 cards using one die as focal element. Last week was bit hard for me as I was not at all in creative mood. Hope I did justice with my supply.

Card #1

This is somewhat simple card. When I loose my MOJO I make simple monochrome cards. They boost my confidence a bit, as I need not to make any colour combination.

* Its a topfolding 7x5" landscape card.

* I took another panel, ran through an embossing folder.

* I die cut leaves and panel for the sentiment ( I used small scalloped rectangle die partially to make smaller panel which can fit my sentiment).

* Heat embossed the sentiment (Partial stamping) and edges of embossed panel, leaves and scalloped rectangle with gold embossing powder (I have fallen in love with this embossing powder).

* The embossed panel is mounted on card base with foam sheet, glued scalloped rectangle flat with liquid glue and sentiment panel with foam tape. Then glued leaves beneath rectangle frame.

Here is the card

Card #2

* I die cut several leaves from white CS.

* Blended distress inks on another panel and spritz with pearlised on the panel.

* Glued all leaves on the panel randomly to fill the area and trimmed the edges.

* Die cut the sentiment with metallic CS.

* Glued the panel on the top folding 5x7" card base and the sentiment strip.

* Added few sequins.

Card #3

This is my last card for the day.

I had never heard of dream catcher. But few days back had seen so many posts on FB about it. So thats the inspiration for my next card.

* I used Scalloped circle die and die cut twice. Except the outed scalloped circle i glued other diecuts on top of each other.

* Stamped the sentiment and heat embossed.

* Then stacked 3 die cuts on each other to make the hangings.

* I glued the circles first on each other, then tied leaves with green embroidery floss and glued another end beneath the last circle.

* Added few green sequins.

Here is the card

Hi... Crafty friends...

Here I am with my first post of the month for Peek-a-boo designs. This moth challenge is  colour inspiration.

Use 3 or more colours from the inspiration picture and link in the challenge post. We would love to see your creations with Peek-a-boo designs for the challenge.

Now coming to my post for the day. I am sharing 3 cards with stencils which released last month. Tried to make Masculine cards which are hard to make (as people say) .

Card #1 - 

* I used BOX-tacular stencil. 

* I used few distress inks to blend. 

* I placed the stencil and blended orange shade colours first then off set the stencil to blend next set of colours. 

* Heat embossed the sentiment. Kept the background pretty simple.

Card #2

Men play the role of angel in our life. As father, as brother and as husband then why can't we give them an angle card?

* Its a double fold card.  

* I die cut a blue CS with the large stitched oval die and white CS with second largest stitched oval die. 

* I placed the white oval on regular card base and blended distress inks very lightly for subtle background. 

* Glued the smaller oval die cut on navy blue oval and glued it on open side of the card base. Stamped a fairy in black ink. 

* Die cut the word with white and heat embossed it with gold UTEE for more dimension, backed it with black diecut word and glued on the card front.

Card #3

Its a simple one layer card and sneak peek of my next post.

* I liked this stencil but i wanted only little portion of the stencil. 

* I selected the area i want on the card, placed it on card front and masked off the remaining area with masking tape/low tacky tape/washi tape. 

* Blended distress inks from darker green to yellow.

* Stamped the sentiment with grey ink so that it doesn't over power the leaves.

I hope you liked these cards..
