So its another week, another challenge… simon says stamp and show anything you like!!! i thought of trying one of my favourite embellishments which haven't tried for a while… which is the metal flakes… i have adhered gold, copper and silver metal flakes as a boarder to the card… this is a very intricate technique as you have to adhere each flake to the card one by one… </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyways, it turned out pretty ok… i attached a pearl and stone ribbon with a wedding wish… </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the story: a friend fell in love with this guy, they dated for a year… but both of their families really didn't like them dating… and when the guy proposed, there was huge argument among the family… so… this got dragged on for a while, until these love birds quit and decided to give up on their love… to stay away from each other… couple of months later in to the struggle, they couldn't do it… they decided to talk to their families again… slowly turn them around… after more than 2 years of convincing, the families agreed to their marriage… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so with the blessings of their families these two love birds got married….</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is why i thought to add this little quote… "love conquered for a blissful wedded life" appropriate, don't you think… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the creation: i wanted to do something special for these two, as they are special people… so instead of just putting a heart on to the card.. i did a little embossed heart with UTE clear powder and some gold dusting right when it was hot… on top i stamped with a scrip writing… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week it's all about water at the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge... So for obvious fact I thought only of getting that water drop effect on a background... I remembered a technique I did while back with similar results and created this…(<span style="font-size: x-small;"> i know its not the best photo, the lighting was bad… i have learned my lesson, will take a better one in the future</span>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this creation I first inked the background with T!M's distress ink Dusty Concord and then added clear embossing powder, heat set and redid whatever area that didn't get covered... Isn't the look simply like water drops... I can't believe I forgot all about this till this week!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Enjoy All!!!</div>

It's the Tattered Floral Challenge from T!M, and right on top i had a creative block!!! can you Believe it!!! ahhhh, it sucks… i think i got overly exited on this challenge or something, still trying to figure out what happened… but since i have recovered just in time before the end of the challenge… i had time to do my own thing with the tattered floral die…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spinning in to creativity…. here is my creation!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXhGvclvtammsg-01qEiiDzweM96mak2ABvGvhCYK7IeFQj0OI83qGIStkriRwyatNsSupsl8f2qPiFGEBySb6lqawnMP026NIFMkA0DR9rpCedCv0TY2rSptuc3cPWMXX0s7GFRm0vec/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXhGvclvtammsg-01qEiiDzweM96mak2ABvGvhCYK7IeFQj0OI83qGIStkriRwyatNsSupsl8f2qPiFGEBySb6lqawnMP026NIFMkA0DR9rpCedCv0TY2rSptuc3cPWMXX0s7GFRm0vec/s320/photo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i wanted to add a little bit of texture, so cut out some slightly embossed card stock, some gauze fabric all cut in with tattered floral die… rolled to make it look like a flower and then i added stones and pearls to the centre… to finish the card, i dyed a lace with wild honey and peeled paint distress stains.. finally, "Mum" was spelled out with glitter monograms… </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!!!</div>

its another day for a <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/">simon says stamp and show challenge</a>, this time it's all about Shabby Chic!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in order to bring the elements of Shabby Chic, i wanted the card to have laces and pearls…. so for the centre, i sewn on a heart from red felt and stuffed in with cotton to make it stand out, it was then covered with copper wire and pearls…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the background was created with victorian velvet and vintage photo and little bit of peeled paint from script stamp and also a swirls stamp</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in order for the heart to stand out from the background i stitched a lace in to a circle and adhered it in between the heart and card….</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i think that the pearls, lace and the colours make it very shabby chic!!!</div>

Especially, BRIGHT colours!!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i love so many colours so much that if someone ask me what is your favourite colour, i don't think i'll be able to answer… colours make the world we live in a better place… because of colours we can see the most amazing things in the world or in the universe…<br />
<br />
here's a creation that shows off what i'm thinking…. </div>

Its time for another challenge from <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/">Simon Says Stamp and Show</a>… and this time its one of my favourite combos, Lace and Doilies. For the Lace Love challenge, I have accented everyones favourite bodice with lace and flowers and a key… to make the card very feminine a doily was spray painted and attached like a fan and underneath it all, black feathers… i believe that nothing say sexy and misterious like lace and feathers!!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have you seen the photos of women from the 20's, how they have dressed up, they look so mysteriously sexy… don't they… this is what inspired me with this card...</div>

It's another year, and this year i think my resolution should be to Blog more regularly instead of every couple of months…. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets pray that this year i'm able to stick to my resolution!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways its time for this year's first blog contest from <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/">Simon Says Stamp and Show</a>, this time they are bringing in an old concept… Challenge: Embrace the old!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now then, as usual, there are tooooo many choices for this one… but, i thought that i should do a vintage looking card instead of an old technique…. so i decided to do a very Sherlock Holmes kind of effect… the baroque cut out is a paper from T!m's crowded attic stash and then embossed with a wood grain texture… i hammered the brads and added alcohol inks on to it…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed creating this vintage piece… hope you enjoy it too….</div>

Where did time fly by, recently i was hit with a creators block and really got stuck for more than 2 weeks with it… so finally i got up the nerve to do this… i think it came out pretty good…. this one goes in to Simon Says Stamp and Show weekly challenge - Rustification!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbBVcWph62J9gEzAmuVTI90qNX4KXF3JyCO7RpyS4e_UPmUTV9JPOIFN26OK7YlGBlC1gQytycZ0oenKTfNu0QNp8HTnesjGcMGjQ2aOhWoBdPn7MHo6ofSczyDIypeE7LQwXJs1Ao4-Y/s1600/Happy+Birthday+59.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbBVcWph62J9gEzAmuVTI90qNX4KXF3JyCO7RpyS4e_UPmUTV9JPOIFN26OK7YlGBlC1gQytycZ0oenKTfNu0QNp8HTnesjGcMGjQ2aOhWoBdPn7MHo6ofSczyDIypeE7LQwXJs1Ao4-Y/s320/Happy+Birthday+59.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
the background was created with a little dust of perfect pearls… the wings are die cuts from grunge board and painted with crackle then it was again inked with alcohol inks to give more color and depth… then a wire here and a wire there… finished with a bit of lace and letters!!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Read all about it" we can interpret this anyway we like… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the whole card is based on writing, from the old paper clipping collaged background to flowers that has been stamped with writing… it's all about reading!!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after collaging the background i embossed the card with tim holtz alterations, then i inked it up with distress, i left the middle part lighter and outer area darker, then i attached the wording stamped flowers, found a metal button to give it a chic look, finished off with inked letters "Wishes" </div>

OMG, where did the week go, i can't believe i missed the last SSS Challenge, which was extremely stupid on my part as i had just few moments to spend, yet i spent that watching the TV… the week flew by without even telling me, so i got stuck on things that are unnecessary, talk about great time management!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
this week is a great challenge, as its all about showing off your favorite technique...but i'm stuck with many, and had trouble figuring out what to do…since there are many ways to present this, i'm not gonna choose just one… but many… so i created this card with 5 techniques i love!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3X_g08cGszeFbQrp4RbYUXJRTSRFsoPc31nQsoJWD8ZpdE3bHp0vD6ipam2z2SXouvRCC66F8NJw-aSOeDJlAcMcPIxr51f7n0Ga8CkFPrWWy0qG2o4M8TOWpuTNSDiThnM2Yjtg-SXY/s1600/Love+68.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3X_g08cGszeFbQrp4RbYUXJRTSRFsoPc31nQsoJWD8ZpdE3bHp0vD6ipam2z2SXouvRCC66F8NJw-aSOeDJlAcMcPIxr51f7n0Ga8CkFPrWWy0qG2o4M8TOWpuTNSDiThnM2Yjtg-SXY/s320/Love+68.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
first up, the wings: the large wing in the way back is crackle paint, i have inked it with distress ink to give it more depth (or shadows)…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the medium wing is gold embossing powder, with a distress inked background - i love how perfectly embossing ink work, giving the perfect touch… </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the small wing is all about one of my old techniques, <a href="http://reverberationsbyaj.blogspot.com/2010/11/mighty-white.html">chunky glitter </a>(i used this many times in the past… so glad i could use again now)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the heart is textured with gesso and then colored it by playing with alcohol inks… and put a little touch of gold glitter for glimmer… don't you just love the effects of it…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
one more, don't forget the background, this one is another favorite, tim's spritz and flick from compendium of curiosities 2 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the wording "you are heavenly" came out of the label maker, but i didn't just wanted to keep it black as it didn't match the whole style of the card, so i added caramel alcohol ink and grudged it up with sanding paper, so i should say, by accident i learned a new one, which will become a favorite, i'm sure!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
when i photographed this card, i couldn't believe, the antiquated look… it looks so cool!!! anyways, here goes!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

what is girl power without sexy fashionistas? well the theme is all about the ladies from <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2012/07/challenge-hey-girl.html">Simon Says stamp and show challenge</a>, the moment that was said, all i could think about was fashion stars from the early eras… like the 1920's, when women abandoned the highly formal cloths and started to transform in to more comfortable cloths.. this time was one of the turning points of the fashion industry… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this was the era when everything in world started to change for women, their roles in the household, their roles in the society, their tastes and their styles… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to women, who changed everything!!!</div>

don't you just love to break a few rules once in while or get out of your hectic schedule do something different, something new!!! well that's what this week is all about, Challenge is "No Rules" from "<a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2012/07/challenge-no-rules.html">Simon Says stamp & show</a>" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i thought i'll take a different look to my creation, since i always take a card for my base, this time i took once of my old shoes… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is what i came up with...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the shoe was first covered with old vintage paper i found in my paper stash, the paper was soaked in general purpose adhesive and water to make it flexible to work with. after letting it dry, i inked up the paper with distress inks and pearl mists...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

it is time for another challenge, this week "<a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2012/07/challenge-layered.html">Simon says stamp and show some Layered</a>" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so layered it is, i stated by designing the background - on a piece of kraft glassine i used alcohol inks 'pool' & 'pearl' to create the sort of metallic effect, don't you just love using kraft glassine, its perfect with everything…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
kraft glassine is then embossed through a texture fades, i layered it with some craft paper i found in my stash… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i found a piece of wire and painted it with alcohol inks and some glitter…the flourish is cracked and sprayed with pearl mist… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all this is layered on top of each to make a cool grungy tag… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
