Lulupu Challenge #16: Stamp & Colour + Emboss aaaannddd some news...

Hello!!!!

This is Varshitha here, and I am sooo excited to reveal this brand new challenge... Oh yeah the title says it well, but before we announce the challenge details, here's the news...


From this month onwards, we'll be hosting not one, but TWO challenges EVERY MONTH. That means twice as much fun and twice as much chance of winning some goodies. :D :D

The first challenge will run from the 1st till 15th of every month, whereas the second will be on from 16th till 30th/31st of the month. Yaaayy!! :)


So this months fortnight's challenge is....
Challenge #16 - Stamp & Colour + Emboss

Here's what you have to do to win this challenge...

Challenge #16 - Qualification Guidelines 
{General Guidelines - here}

1. Create a Card that includes stamping and colouring. This can be done on characters, objects, critters, background, anything in the card. To make this easier, choose outline stamps instead of solid stamps. That will allow a lot of opportunity for you to colour the stamped images.

2. Use embossing on your project. You can use dry embossing with embossing folders, or heat embossing, whatever you find easier and are comfortable with. We will allow them both.

3. We will accept only Cards for this challenge.

4. Please note that the Inlinkz for this challenge will close on September 15, 2013 at 11:55 PM IST.


The winner for this challenge will get a voucher worth INR 500 to shop at the Lulupu Store! :D

Now, let's see what I have come up with.

Coloring is so new to me, that I was kind of stuck at this point, but my new distress markers made me to do it. You know they are awesome...  I kind of wanted to give an Indian and doodle feel to the card so thought this stamp would be so apt for it. Doesn't look like Rangoli? :P 


And I am happy that I found a matching sentiment stamp in my stash.. and of course the flowers add a great touch to it... 


 

The Background is stamped, heat embossed and colored with markers and pearlised. I embellished it with seam binding ribbon, mulberry flowers, pins and rhinestones. And completed it with a heat embossed sentiment on a vellum strip.  WOW Done.... 




Hope you liked my card, waiting to see what you create for this challenge. I know its a real fun & easy challenge this time.. So what are you waiting for??? Grab your stamps, colouring & embossing tools and get crafting!! ;)

Here's the list of products used to make this card..







Happy Crafting!!!

Love, 
Varshitha
