BGC # 65 - Mood board + Stamping by Aneta

Hello, dear followers!

I'm really happy, that I can be here with you again, when the new year begun. I miss it!

We have some changes here, so please read a our new rules carefully.

This month we have a challenge with the mood board and stamping. Just to remind you the rules:

• Make a paper crafted project taking inspiration from the moodboard . 

• Your post must mention how or what elements inspired you for your project. 

• Your project must have some sort of stamping done on it. Make sure its visible in your pictures .

• Your project must be new and must have been made after our challenge announcement 

• Deadline to enter -  28th Feb 2015 until 11:55 PM IST .

We have also great prizes for you:

Prize 1

Wow! That looks great, doesn't it?  I think, that it's worth to join us in this challenge!

Basing on our mood board, I prepared a card as an inspiration for you. I chose delicate peach color as the main element of it. Playing with a symmetry here ( because I didn't wan to to make a card with all elements just in the middle of the card), I put smaller rectangles more to the right side and down.

What do you think about my card?

I'm looking forward to see yours projects this month!
Have a lot of fun making them!

Warm greetings
Aneta

BGC#65: Mood board + Stamping with Bipasha !

Hello everyone !!

So here I meet you again wonderful crafty people :) and looking forward to another fun-filled year of BGC enjoying each of your unique and new creations.

 And I hope you like the fresh new modifications we have made to our challenge formats this year!!

Let me walk you all again through the challenge gudelines:

Our moodboard for this Feb challenge 

Here is my take on the challenge. I was inspired by the stunning colours of the moodboard, the heart shape of the doughnuts, and the flower bunch in the vase!! And ended up creating a shadowbox photo frame from scratch :)

For the stamping, I used the picket fence distress stain and bo bunny coffee stain stamp design to make the white ink marks behind the photo in the background and stamped some scripts on the pp scrap too !

 Hope you love my creation!!

Can't wait to see what you all will be creation...

Much love ...xoxo

Isnt that wonderful ??? 

Now that its sorted lets take a look at what i made

I decided to do a tall card this time :) 
I find the size quite interesting to work with.

I got my first electronic sewing machine for Christmas :) Its amazing how a simple stitch can add so much to your project ! :) You will see me playing a lot more with my machine soon.

Inspiration from the mood board : 

I decided to make this card into a wedding themed one because somehow i got the wedding vibe from the mood board.

I took inspiration from the table decoration in terms of colors and the elements . 

I went for the white butterflies too , its just an amazing piece of art im sure no one will miss ! 

 All the flowers are handmade.
I managed to add my stamped elements as layers around which the flower arrangement goes.

I do have some misting in mint underneath the elements.
I also used some fabric element with mesh cloth .

I do hope you like my project and will join us this month
