Loads of distressing with different inks in this card,the pink n blue paper is from internet and the green is from papermania vintage paper pack(love these papers.they have the distressing effect).

Some white laces and a transparent sheer ribbons(i have died it using silk colors,love the sheen on this:)

The flowers are done with nesties and punches,flourish is bosskut die.The cute key charm is from shalini:)
The hearts where hand cut,the outer layer is done with scallop scissor and dot punch to get the lace effect.

ALTERED CANVAS AND A CARD

Finally i am back with some projects,i really missed some great challenges bcoz of my camera,atleast i want to try out this week card pattern sketch(love it).So here is the simple card(i started liking these kind of cards now,less time consuming and apt for some quick gifts),the awesome pattern paper is from internet(i love anything related to butterflies:)),doily is RAK from mansi(thank u so much girl:)),flower is handmade with fabric rest is from my stash.

I am entering this to following challenges:
Pollycraft monday:pastel colors
Pile it on:anything goes
SSDS challenge:anything goes
Fairytale challenge:flowers
2sisters challenge:flowers
Card patterns:sketch
Aifactory:anything goes
Digidoodles:anything goes
Penny's papercraft:anything goes



Actually i was in a dilemma whether to post it or not:(.I made this for mandy's extending background challenge in yvonne's blog.I never thought of combining painting n paper crafts till i see her works,and i was like Wow,..her works are too good.Everything went well till planning,and even i have executed almost the same,but the colors didn't really match well,so what do you think??
Its my long time wish to do a altered canvas,but i think i have spoiled it.Ok,here is what i did.Took a print out of this cute bird house,first disaster is it become over sized,so i cut out all the background and took only the picture,next mistake i made is i applied glue n gloss fully,so the beauty of the pic is gone:((becomes too shinny.I have extended the background like tree,to avoid too much of brown i have added some blue to give a sky effect,then stamping,misting n so many things i tried in this,lol,,and i covered most of the things with flowers n butterflies:)


The good new is i finally found some double sided felts,but very limited color n quantity(any body get these felt in your place?)I love seeing these flowers in yvonne's blog:)and i really gives a good effect.

P.S:Don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE.


Thanks for looking.
