MY TOP 10 CARDS FOR 2011

Hiya all,
it was heavily raining for past 2 days here,n i hardly feel like doing anything even though i have lots of things to finish up.But hey,i am enjoying the weather too,its good to chill up sometimes,huh...but we all want it to stop now,so that we can celebrate the new year.Hmm...lets see whats is there is store for new year.
I saw a link up party for top 10 cards of 2011 HERE,n thought of participating.Its nice to rewind back n see how far we have grown up,right..?:)And without no guesses i have seleceted mostly tilda cards as my favorite,i love her:p.This year i have been experimenting with lot of other styles too,especially on stamping,but when looking at all these i think the layered embellished cards are my cup of tea,what do you think?

STRIPES..

Here is my take on this week inspiration picture from Runway inspired challenge.There are so many things to get inspired,what caught my eye first is the black n white stripes on the run way,the color grey.So i have used them as the main focus of the card,other things are the green bag,the splash of yellow on the back ground,n the purple eye mask,which i have used as embellishments here.
I have used the color block technique for the butterfly,scroll down for the tutorials.Thanks for stopping by.
This also goes to Tuesday trigger-Stripe-tastic and DYSU-Stripes







Cut the card stock scraps in different widths.



Take a base card stock,apply glue n stick the strips one by one in different color n widths.

Allow it to dry for 15 mins n then die cut your desired shapes.There are more ways to achieve different effects with this techniques,will post a detailed tutorial soon in my tutorial blog.

TRENDY CARDS

Hi,
finally i made some cards after long time.I am inspired by some of the fashion related challenges going on in blog land.Wow..i never thought fashion photographs can be such a great inspiration for card making,now instead of browsing all art related pictures all the time i am going to search for some fashion pictures:))

First one is for Moxie fab world,love that pretty shirt.I am inspired by the hound sooth pattern,textures,the color combo and the brooch.I have used faux letter press technique for the base,all the die cuts are from my new PTI collections,a epoxy brad to finish it off.




Here is the card for the new Runway inspired challenge blog.I love the bright yellow in the inspiration picture,its such a bright n happy color to lift anybody's mood:)The card in my mind was totally different,after lot of avatars it finally ended up in this which is totally different from what i planned,but any ways i am happy with the result finally.Tell you what it took 2 hours n lots of papers for me to finish this card:((sometimes you cannot bring out what you think in mind,still the beautiful card was there in my vision for sometime now only for me to enjoy;)

"FOR THE LOVE OF CRAFTING"CHALLENGE#2

Hi all,
the challenge is up on "For the love crafting" blog.The theme is for this month is,

Home decor/gifts projects for Christmas/new year

We have some amazing GDT samples,and a yummy prize package sponsored by imaginationsonline.com,do check out the details HERE.

For my project,i have made a desktop calendar.This week is really hectic for me,i have gone for a short trip and after coming back caught with sever cold n throat infections.It was so irritating,that i couldn't concentrate on anything.I finished this only yesterday evening,though i have decided the project long back,i couldn't execute it well due to my cold:((I am not much happy with the color combination,it looks very dull.Somehow i have managed it with lot of glitter n white to make it little brighter.
Lesson learnt-even though the last minute work works out well most of the time,it may go wrong sometime with unexpected things,better to finish up things pretty early:).

Ok,here is my well- managed project,lol.I think tilda made things little better:).

Supplies used:
Papers:Some unknow company(lolz),prima and echo park
Dies:Spellbinders beaded oval,doo hickey swirls
Embellishments:Echo park stickers,prima flowers,stickles,rhine stones.
