Remember This !!

Hello everyone.. .. a warm welcome to my blog after almost 6 months...through this post I am welcoming myself too to the crafty world & blog land...LOL... ;)

Today i am sharing two cards which are really very immature but at the same time very difficult for me as i lost all my crafting mojo n was not able to create anything...!! :( After seeing the Winnie & Walter's WCMD Celebration i could not resist myself and i kick myself & gathered the courage to post this !! Also want to thanks my crafty friends for encouraging me & not to give up..!!  

So now to the cards ...here is the first card - 

 

For this card i distressed the whole panel with Spun Sugar DI N then Stamped the floral vines from Penny Black Pretty Petals Stamp Set in Rangers Golden EP and then water colored the flowers with Picked Raspberry DI...!!

Sentiment is from Bo-Bunny Captured Memories Stamp Set ..Gold Glittered Butterflies from Pie Lane & Some Gold Sequins to finish off...n it's done !! Hope u like my attempt !!

CAS Card For You..!!

Hello...Today i am sharing a CAS card which i made using my newest stamp set and pretty happy with the outcome...do check out this :-

For this card i first matted wood gained PP on the card base ..then place a white CS...then stamped the flowers from recently bought Hero Arts Blossom Stamp Set ... then watercolored the images using Distress inks and to add a gloss ...i used glossy accent over all the flowers...Glitter balls are used for center...stamped the leaf on felt n cut randomly...The Sentiment is a free digi from Avery Elle.... I inverted the colors so can reflect the chalkboard effect . For Chalkboard effect i used versa fine white ink and rub it randomly with my fingertip over the black portion of digi....added foam dots below the flowers n some sequins here n there and its done...!! :)
