So Happy For You!

Hii everyone!!

This is Deepti here to share a card with you made as an inspiration. Well... Hope you guys are enjoying and loving the present challenge colors Blue and Brown.. We had many awesome inspirations from Hussena, Poornima and  from Itsy Bitsy. I'm so happy that Itsy Bitsy is the main sponsor for these challenges.. :) I would like to thank Sunehra and Itsy Bitsy team for their kindness..  Thank you good people.. :)

Yeah! I made a card using a cute digi from Minkie's Paper Paradise, it's a freebie.. :)
I've colored the couple, this time not with the markers but with Faber Castell Water Color Pencils. I had a little trouble coloring these images but later I got used to it.. :D

Have you noticed the doiley, this is my first card with a doiley.. And the BG is a PP and I've paper pieced the tiny flowers using a blue paper.. 

That's all for now and see you on 15th with more inspiration.. :)

Take care!

An inspiration from Itsy Bitsy

Hi everyone, it's Sunehra from Itsy Bitsy and I am thrilled to present an inspiration from Itsy Bitsy for the current challenge here at Catchy Crafts. As you know Itsy Bitsy is India's number ONE hobby and craft supplier and using some of the amazing products at Itsy Bitsy, I created this CAS card inspired by the absolutely gorgeous and DELICIOUS image that Deepti has offered.

 

I started with a gorgeous brown glitter sheet from ItsyBitsy and layered it with white card stock embossed with the ItsyBitsy cupcake embossing folder. Since the image was cupcakes, I couldn't resist bringing the cupcakes to the card. Most of you know that I am addicted to bows but I didn't have a turquoise ribbon to match the color scheme. So I  decided to make bow out of paper (to see how I did it, watch the video tutorial later in this post). Finally I cut out 2 embossed cupcakes, colored them and added them to the sentiment at the bottom. 

For a detailed look at how I made this card from start to finish, including how the bow was put together and the little cupcakes were colored, be sure to watch this video tutorial.

Well that's about it from me. I hope you enjoyed this card and the video tutorial. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing your take on this delightful inspiration. Don't forget to pop by the ItsyBitsy Blog later tonight for the template of the paper bow and the supplies used in this project.

'AYESHA AHMED'

"My idea of spending quality time alone is with paper, glue, scissors, some ideas and possibilities are endless like our imagination.  Ever since childhood I have passion for paper craft, I loved being a part of craft classes at school or would spend the entire summer afternoon doing something crafty.  While working as an Assistant Manager for an MNC, I always took out time for my hobby from my busy schedule.  I loved participating in craft activities at office and whenever possible I made use of creativity in my work.  Now as a housewife I'm glad I can devote more time for my passion.  I hope in future as well I continue to learn and experiment with new crafting techniques everyday. "
