Hellooooo Alll!!!

It is November! NOVEMBER!!! Reallyy???!! This year was fast...whoa!
Oh wait!
It is time for another CAS Challenge at STAMPlorations as we have a new month! :)
 

As always, we have anything CAS goes but this time we have an optional color- Purple.
Well, you all must know, purple is my favorite color. I LOVE it! That's why I have purple all over my blog. I have a lot of purple dresses as well as lots of purple colored cards. Now, this got me thinking, I don't have purple shoes, I should get them and sooonnnnn! :P

This card is inspired by Heather Hoffman- a brilliant and genius lady from the House Built of Cards. Her cards have a story, would love it if you check it there. :)

For the card, I sponged the background and sprintzed water over it.
The flower stamp is from STAMPlorations- Smile (Dee's Artsy Impressions) set which I stamped using pigment ink over the black panel. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations- Balloons and Banners.  Easy?

Muse Christmas Visions- Guest Designer!

Hellloooo Dearrrr Craftersss!! :)

I am so delighted to say that I am Guest Designing at Muse Christmas Visions Challenge! Ardyth surprised me by asking me to join MCV! :)

Check out what I have made-

For this one-layered card, I have used STAMPlorations- Yuletide Cheers stamp set. I stamped the green bauble(using Mowed lawn Distress ink) and masked it. Later, I stamped using Fire brick distress ink. I masked both the baubles to sponge the background. Then, water colored them and added accents of white stars in the background! :)

Hope my card inspired you all! It would be great if you all could join in this week- you may create any Christmas themed or winter card inspired from this card!

Thank you so much Ardyth for this superb opportunity! :)
