Challenge #53

Sparkle and Shine

Here's my take on the challenge and yes, I have make 2 new cards for this challenge!! 

Lets check out what do I have in my kitty today

I have made two very simple cards and I have been trying my hands at CAS cards from sometime and Lulupu's projects are giving me a perfect opportunity to try these out!!!

I am always a go for the stripes pattern and when I opened up my DT kit from lulupu this time, I knew I had to use this stripe pattern paper, they make such a striking backgrounds!!! 

There's a tip used in this cards which I had learnt while I was browsing the internet sometime back! I do not remember where exactly, but since I was working on a couple of projects that involved glitter alphabets, it was useful for me. Since, I was working with glitter Foam sheets and with time and usage, the glitter fells off the projects, using Glossy Accents or Mod Podge Dimensional magic works wonders and will never let the glitter fell off!! And that was one quite useful tip for me!!!

My other card is also a CAS card and you must have had guessed by now that I'm totally in love with the Altenew stamps!!! This stamp set is known as persian motifs and is such an adorable one!

 After stamping the motif, I coloured it off using watercolors and then added glitter using wink of Stells, GOLD glitter pen along the edges! This gives a very subtle shine to your projects when you want then to shine ,yet being very sober in doing so.

I hope you all liked my cards and do not forget to join us in our this months challenge here. Do leave me some love if you liked these pretties!!

Happy Crafting!

My interpretation for this months challenge is Cards.

 I'm love making cards these days and Lulupu's challenges gives me another bang on motivation to make something which is out of my forte!! None the less I love doing these!!

I have made 3 cards, all of which incorporate the challenge theme in a different way!

There's one among these cards which is inspired by an awesome card maker which I'll let you know shortly! It has my own little twist inside!

I recently owned this awesome Vintage Roses Altenew stamp and was so very eager to try this one out!!! Totally loved the layering process of this set!! Well, the flowers here are my very first try and I def need to improve on the layering process, but since this was my first try, I had to have the card with these pretties! This card has an embossed sentiment in gold and I have added some sequins to go along with the theme!

Here's a closer look at the card!!!

I totally love the simplicity in this card and love the sentiment, This pretty one is inspired by an awesome card maker, if you follow Kristina Werner, you'll be awestruck by her cards!! I added my own element(glitter) which makes this card very cute!!!

Here's a view of both the cards!! I love these ones!!

My last card is a very simple shaker one, I just die cutted the Pattern paper with a scallop die and added lots of flower shaped sequins inside to do that shake-shake part!!!

and yes, a glittered foam die cut makes it all the more lovable!!!

I hope you all liked my cards and do watch out this space all month long to be amazed by our DT team awesome Sparkle and shine creations!!!
