Elite Challenge Cards

Hi everybody,

While I am waiting for the lady who is to inspect my house to arrive, I thought I will blog. I wanted to show you couple of cards I made for Elite challenge blog. This one below is for the stamp set challenge. The stamp set to use is from the sale-a-bration catalogue called Vintage labels. A cute set of labels

I have used Mellow Moss, Kraft and Confetti White cardstock with Sweet Slumber Speciality DSP.Apart from Vintage Label stamp set, I have used Weathered background stamp and Frends 24-7. I used white gel pen to color the flowers. What an effect? the entire image just poped out. Don't you think so?

This card below is for the sketch challenge at Elite Challenge Blog.

I used nestabilities label set and sponged Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the image using Stazon. Colored the flowers with markers and rhinestones on centre.

There is the color challenge left called "Point Taken" but it is a real challenge to use those colors. Real tough! Atleast for me! I am still wondering how I am going to use them together. Anyway, I still have time to think as the lady has not yet arrived. I am starting to get hungry.

Aww! thanks Nikki for your wishes. We had a lovely dinner and the resturant did organise a complimentary champagne and special desert with sparklers as a surprise. Thats was just awesome yesterday. Never had any surprises like that before.

I think I better get going to cook lunch.

See you soon. Until then.......

A great getaway

Hello everybody,

I had a great getaway last weekend. Well, it was a business trip to Perth but I also combined a lot of things because we were in Perth. I am a Indian Australian, so I buy a lot of Indian groceries. In the town I live in I do not get any. So a trip to Perth means load my ~~card~~ lol! car with groceries, which we did of course! But the most favourate thing we did was to watch the movie Avatar on 3D. Wow! I loooooove the movie. What great graphics. Loved the depth and sharpness of the picture. I could see the body hair of the Na'vi tribe. I also liked the connection between the Na'vi hair and the dragons.Very cute! I really wish there was such planet which is so pure, fresh and untouched. And keep it that way! This is my favourate movie. Anybodyelse liked the movie? Some of my IT friends are not so impressed with the movie. Mmm!!! I also heard that many liked the movie so much that they wanted to live in Pandora and were depressed with the current reality they live in! Mmmm!!! cannot differentiate between reality and graphics. Thats scary! Anyway, I looved the movie berry much.

I have some cards to show you. I made these for Elite monthly challenges. You can see the challenges here

Scroll down and you can see this month's sketch, color and stampset challenges.

This card I made for the sketch challenge

I like Upsy Daisy stamp set from SU berry much. With dazzling diamonds they look very pretty. Don't you think so? And this one for the color challenge

I saw a card made by Dawn Mcvey on her blog and really liked the sketch of card. This card is inspired by her card. You can find her card here Its the blue one. Love her cards.

Elite sketch challenge card

Hey everybody,

Its been few days since I blogged. Weekend was terribly busy. With one of us falling sick every week, it is exhausting. Weather has to make up its mind whether it wants to warm up or be cold.

I have been making things but none of which I can show you right now.

I made a desktop organiser as a gift and forgot to take photos. I also made a card using Faux Leather technique and I forgot to take a photo. I gave it for a birthday!!! This shows I am forgetful now-a-days. Maybe, just too busy.lol!!!

Anyway, this card is for Elite challenge blog.

This is my take on the sketch challenge for August.
