Card with Fruity Wishes

Hello Creative Crafters,

I am out with an another card :). I made this card for one of my friend's daughter. She is 6 months old and truly a cutee pie :). This is for her ceremony called "First Rice Ceremony". [In India its significance is after this ceremony a baby can eat semi-solid & solid foods :)]. Different places, varied ceremonies but with the sole purpose -  Come Together and Enjoy!! Am I right??

So suiting the occasion, I chose food theme :). And for some added fun, I mixed it with different challenges :)).

Here's is my take of the card:

I used a beautiful sketch drawn by Sharon from Truly Scrumptious Challenge 35 - and used the theme "Strawberries and Cream".

Since, the card was to be signed by group of friends say 20 ;), I had to make it really big ;)... I took 2 whole sheets, punch them from top and joined them with a ribbon. The DPs are from Martha Stewart. The beautiful 'peeker' digi is from Bugaboo Stamps and colored it with water-color pencils. I clipped various pictures of fruits and food items and color them with copic & markers. For the 3D effect, I pasted all the pictures first on form sheet and them pasted them with sticky tape. The sentiment is written on a basket shaped cut-out and the woven print is by me with color pencils.

Here is an another look of the card:

and another one :)

And one more from other dimension :)

I am also playing the following challenges with this card:

The ABC Challenge - X for Xtra dimension (the digi and all the fruits)

Pile it On - Stickers

Perfect Summer Sunshine!

Good Evening B'ful People,
Hope you had a relaxing Sunday. Mine was spent in some shopping (grocery of'course ;), some in cooking and some wonderful time in Crafting :). This Friday, Bugaboo posted another set of their creative stamps and call them 'Beach Monkey'. They are so cute. Instantly it gave me a feeling of beach fun!! And when some wonderful challenges are lined up to capture the summer moments. Why not dive for them :D!!


I used a nice sketch form Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge#12.

And this is how it turned out by me :)

I created a perfect beach day with sun, sand, water, balls and mat. I used Best Occasion card stocks in blue and yellow. The cute playing digi is from Bughaboo. I color it with my pencil water colors. I cut out sun and the balls from the form sheet and color them with the markers. The border of the mat is also cut out from form sheet. You cannot enjoy beach if you don't play in sand. So for the sandy feeling, I sprinkle some glitters in gold & silver. The sentiment is punch out stickers, cos I don't have any appropriate stamp for the card.


This card is also going to these challenges:
Stamp Something - Something Summer Challenge
Quirky Crafts - Challenge#30 Summer
The Shabby Tea Room - Summer Fun (Week#14)
Pile it On - Stickers
Pals Paper Arts - Summer Theme
ABC Challenge - W for Weather

Thanks for looking :).
Cheers till our next meeting :)

First Cardmaking Challenge: CPS #168 & Digi Doodle Shop

I have been following various websites describing “card making” since a week now. And totally amazed by the designs people make. Truly saying, I am not souly into paper crafts, but thanks to all the wonderful people out there, you have inspired me a lot :)

Though I have limited supply of my own for paper crafting and card making; I tried to create my first card and entering the Card Positioning Systems Sketch # 168 and Digi Doodle Shop. This week’s CPS sketch is:

And the theme for Digi Doodle Shop is Easy Peasy!!!!! ANYTHING GOES card!!! 
Here is my work:
