BGC#72 - Anything Goes with PJ

Hi everyone !

Welcome to another challenge here on the BGC blog !

which is ANYTHING GOES !

So make anything paper crafty you like !

Please welcome our sponsors -

Prize 1 is being sponsored by the generous sponsor Kraft zone

Prize 2 is a Gift Vocher of 500 INR from Rainbow Craftykari

Here is my inspiration this month

I love Gorjuss stamps ! They are amazing ! I have had these for over 3 years now and have hardly used them . But here we go :) I thought for anything goes i could do a step card which again i havent done in a while !

I have used promarkers and watercolor pencils to finish the lovely stamped image.

The peach flower is handmade and the dasies are localy bought.

I wanted to make it look like she is really swinging , so after a lot of fussy cutting i managed to get the look by adding foam dots to the back of the stamp.

Then with the lovely sizzix frame die it was as always nice to give it that regal look.

So thats about it ! after a CAS challenge it was nice to return to my roots :D

shabby , full of flowers and colors ! :)

Hope you liked my card and will join us in the ANYTHING GOES challenge HERE

BGC#71 - CAS cards or LO's

Hello everyone !!

I would really like to thank everyone for joining us in last month's challenge with so many entries !

I assure you the results will be announced real soon!!

So this month we have another little challenge for you !

Yes we are going "Clean and Simple "

So join us with your CAS cards or Layouts all along this month ! :)

Please welcome our sponsors -

Prize 1 is being sponsored by the generous sponsor Kraft zone

Which is this lovely pear die from sizzix !

Prize 2 is a Gift Vocher of 500 INR from Rainbow Craftykari

Isnt that lovely ?

So with all this information lets talk about what i came up with.

I decided to go for a Layout this time.

I will also show you how i made it.

Lets get started !

These are some of the basic things I will be using for this LO

Of course I will be adding more to the list as we proceed.

I am using a 10 x 10 cardstock for the base of the LO, I have this specific size because i plan to fit it under a frame later. (Which i am yet to buy! But oh well ! there is nothing like a bit of pre planning :)

So the first step was to add some yellow mist ! I have used a generous amount.

Dont worry about the puckering in the base. It will ease soon.

I am using Heidi Swapp Color Shine mist Butter- its got some gold shimmer with the lovely color.

I have then added some splatter of Amethyst as well. I did plan on using Lindy's Stamp Gang Turcoise but i finally went with Heidie Swapp Amethyst mist.

Next I added Cheerylynn designs-french-pastry-doily die cut.

I kept it white for the Clean look.

Also i added some Freckled-fawn-mint-calendar-designer-washi-tape for fun !

Next I added some white paper twine which i bought locally.

I just created loops and stuck it down on the side over the doily.

I then cut up some Flowers and stuck them as shown above.

I am using Prima -Garden Picks flowers.

Now its time to add the photo.

I just placed my photo on top of the flowers such as to cover the flowers slightly.

My next and final step was to add some stamping !

I used black pigment ink with Prima finnabair-Dream on cling stamp.

And my CAS layout is ready !

The key to nailing a CAS layout would be lots of white spaces , clean lines or shapes with use of less elements ! This was definitly a make it work moment for me because i am not a CAS girl at all !

But looking at this I realise its such a fun jonear to work in too!

So i hope I have inspired you enough to join us in this CAS challenge !

Isnt that wonderful ???

Now that its sorted lets take a look at what i made

I decided to do a tall card this time :)
I find the size quite interesting to work with.

I got my first electronic sewing machine for Christmas :) Its amazing how a simple stitch can add so much to your project ! :) You will see me playing a lot more with my machine soon.

Inspiration from the mood board :

I decided to make this card into a wedding themed one because somehow i got the wedding vibe from the mood board.

I took inspiration from the table decoration in terms of colors and the elements .

I went for the white butterflies too , its just an amazing piece of art im sure no one will miss !

All the flowers are handmade.
I managed to add my stamped elements as layers around which the flower arrangement goes.

I do have some misting in mint underneath the elements.
I also used some fabric element with mesh cloth .

I do hope you like my project and will join us this month
