Photo frame and a tag...

Hi everyone!

I know...second post today... I might as well post another card if I am able to finish! :)

I made a frame to match my tag! :) See for yourself and do let me know what you think.

Entering Itsy Bitsy and Crafters corner challenges with this set.

Frame is my favourite... Love the stamped look I managed with distress ink! I'm going to do this a lot more.

Pls do let me know if you want to know the details of supplies used. There is a long list and I'm pretty hungry! :)

Editing the post now...

For the base of the frame, I recycled a sturdy mobile phone package of my husband! Hope he wont need it any more! :)
I cut 4 strips from the same packaging for the frame. Covered them with almost plain PP and stamped sentiments and a scallop flower with vintage photo distress ink. I must say that the result was awesome. The frame looked good even without embellishments. I stuck the covered strips on the four sides and the frame was ready! :) Be sure to not stick a strip completely on one side to enable us to place a photograph... And yes...I stuck a piece of white card stock to cover the package in the front..

Supplies used-
For the frame-
Doily- Jovitha
Leaf flourish die, pink flowers- Priya
Pearls- stash
Fabric lace tape- Lulupu
PP- (its almost plain)- Almanac paper pad- sudha
Stamps- Itsy bitsy, Kalalayaa store and Lulupu

For the tag-

Leaf flourish die, pink flowers- Priya
Pearls- stash
Fabric lace tape- Lulupu

The light cream coloured flowers are hand made...made them using provo craft die...They look a bit like tiny itsy bitsy flowers...

PP- Almanac paper pad- sudha's store and tiny polka dotted PP is from Nupur.

Stamps- Itsy bitsy, Kalalayaa store and Lulupu

A quick simple card...

Hi!

Dropped in to make a quick post...Here is the card...

A quick card and an announcement!!

Hey everyone!

I'm here with a card and an announcement...

Ok...So, here is my card for 'pretty pink posh: 10 minute craft dash' challenge 5! Here is the challenge graphic...

And here is my card! I loved making it and I'm totally in love with the challenge colours...

I took 9 min 57 sec to make this one!! Never made such a quick card before... But I did learn that for quick cards it's better to not use two way foam tape for adhesive...I lost a lost of time there trying to peel off the backing! :( My faux stitching isn't neat too... and die cut the butterflies on the wrong side! so many mistakes...Ribbons aren't proper too!

And now for the announcement---

Many would have known already...but those who don't, well....It's my wedding! Yay!!!! :) I'm getting married on 27th of this month... Since it's just a week away, I decided (well...my parents actually :)) to take a break from crafting... I might be away for a while and I'll really miss this place.... Will surely be checking out your cards but won't make any...

As promised, will make a post about the winners of challenges on Oct 24th...

Do leave me your wishes since I'm going to start something really new and important in my life

Take care and keep crafting! :) :) :)
