Celebrating Your Love

Hello everyone!! It's time for the mid-month inspiration here at Where The HeART Is challenge. Our theme for this month is Love. Here's a CAS card that I made to inspire you.

I used a hand cut heart stencil and stamped the small flowers and leaves from Winnie & Walter - In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals  using distress ink ripe persimmon & broken china, Hero Arts dark quartz, lime green & lemon yellow, VersaMagic ChalkInk sea breeze inks.

I used the sentiment from Just Rite Stamps - Ever After Antique labels one and stamped it on the center of the heart with black ink.

Azaleas

Hello everyone!! It's time for the midway inspiration here at Where The HeART Is Challenge. Our theme this month is Anything Goes. Here's what I have made to inspire you:

Please forgive the poor lighting of the photos. It's getting dark very early and most of the time I have to rely on artificial lighting for my photos, which is not really good. I tried to create a 'tall and skinny card' here. The dimensions are 3.75 x 5.5. I used one of the stamps from the Power Poppy Stamps - Azalea stamp set. I got this stamp set a few months ago, for winning the Power Poppy Challenge. I was busy making Christmas cards then. So I'm using it for the first time and I should say, I loved coloring the image.

This year I really want to concentrate more on my coloring by practicing more. I love to color flower images! The Power Poppy images have so much detail in them that makes it more beautiful!! If you haven't heard of them, please do check them out. I'm in no way affiliated to them, but really love their stamps! The sentiment is from Altenew - Floral Motifs. Yes! I finally got some Altenew stamp sets too!! I still haven't got around to use them.

The die cuts on the top and bottom corners are cut with my Cricut using SVG file from Birds Cards - Swirly Corner set. I added a few pearls to embellish.

Christmas Pines

Hello everyone!! It's time for mid-month inspiration at Where the Heart is. Our theme this month is Winter Blues. Here's what I made to inspire you:

I inked a piece of white card stock with DI Tumbled glass and Evergreen bough (on the edges). I stamped the pine leaves from Inkadinkado Branches stamp set with Hero Arts Forever Green ink. The pine cones are from Joanna Sheen Make A Wish set, which I inked using markers.

I used my correction pen to add dots of snow. The sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy stamps Christmas Penguins set.

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Blue Snowflakes

Hello everyone!! It's time for a new challenge at Where the Heart Is. This month our theme is 'Winter Blues'. Here's what I made to inspire you:

I stamped the snowflakes from ODBD Snowflake mini set and embossed them with Stampenduous Blue tinsel, Zing silver, Wow! clear gloss and Wow! opaque white on a piece of white card stock. I then sponged DI Tumbled glass on to it.

I stamped the 'Have yourself a Merry little Christmas' tag from the Whimsy Stamp Christmas mini gift tags set and embossed it with the Stampenduous blue tinsel embossing powder. The shine of this is awesome. I also wrapped a bow around the panel and added a triple bow with a pearl brad at the center. I tied the tag to hand from the center of the bow.

Hello Stenciling

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Where The Heart Is. This will be our second challenge and our theme is to use stencil. You can submit anything made by you which uses stencil. We are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and Bugaboo.

Here's what I made to inspire you:

I used a stencil that I had bought from Itsy Bitsy in India. This is my first successful attempt with texture paste. I watercolored the background with DI Evergreen bough and Tumbled glass. I cut the sentiment on the Cricut Explore. I used glossy accent on it. I embossed a strip of paper with silver embossing powder and added it to bring a bit of sparkle. I also added a few silver sequins to go with the strip.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will join us in the current challenge.
