STAMPlorations October & HLS CAS Challenge!

Heyyaaa Sweet Crafters!! :)

I know, I am super late for these challenges! I was out of town and just came back with a newly found mojo! :)

I had gone to Bangalore- they call it the Silicon Valley of India. I fell in love with this beautiful green metro immediately (though I cannot actually understand the local language there-which is Kannad) ;)

Anyway, I will tell you more about it after I show you my card! I came up with a card inspired by this month's STAMPlorations Sketch. I like using pink with darker colors. :)

This month's Theme and Sketch for STAMPlorations:

U would be surprised to see that heart because I have used Dee's Artsy impression Stamp - Balloons & Banners for the heart - It is the heart shaped balloon paper pieced! I have used different patterned papers to make an ombre effect out of pink! :)

I have utilized the negative space by adhering those hearts over the double sided glue tape. I don't have dies. So, I have hand cut those curved rectangles..I managed it well, didn't I? Those could have looked perfect with dies... :(

I have used STAMPlorations - Trendy Feathers for the sentiment with Black Soot DI. :)

The yummy set has arrived from STAMPlorations- Yuletide Cheer ! I am looking forward to make some crafty things out of them! :) Doesn't that stamp look just gorgeous?

 

I am also entering for Happy Little Stampers- Paper Piecing

Heyyaaaa Super Cool Crafters!! :)

I am back ! This time with a mixed media card inspired by the colors of Halloween - Orange and black! :)

I started off by heat embossing the lower panel using Ranger white embossing powder and Versamark. Over it I adhered a black colored panel and used Crafter's workshop stencil to add the splatters! :)

I used Ranger's Texture paste for the same. On the orange card stock I stamped STAMPlorations- Trendy Butterfly stamp and fussy cut them out. The sentiment is from Dee's Artsy impression set - Balloons and Banners. I used Color box pigment ink to stamp the sentiment.

I have used double sided glue tape to adhered the upper panel of the card and the butterflies! :)

A hop to stop!

Hello Blog Lovers! :)

I am here for a cause. A worthy cause to create awareness about domestic violence! Becca from The Damsel of distressed cards  has initiated this event and I am supporting her by making this purple colored card.

You can find the blog post HERE. 

Purple is the color of National Domestic Violence Awareness month. 

And 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence over the course of their lifetimes.  

And true that, women aren't the only people who are affected by it! 

By creating awareness, I want people to know that one should keep courage and believe in themselves - Because they matter! :) 

Even though one is not abused, people close to you are..It is often such a neglected topic that people prefer to remain silent rather than raise their voice.. I want to encourage them to believe in who they are and come out of that dark zone - Because you matter!

:)

For the card, I have inked the stamps with seedless preserves and weathered wood distress ink and sprinkled water over them before stamping. The stamp is from Fiskars - Scratch from petal stamp set. And sentiment from STAMPlorations - Hashtag authentic.

I am also entering it for Pinterest Inspired Challenge
