Hello everyone,

It's an absolute honour to design for the challenge at Paru's card making challenges, to inspire you to join us with this month's theme - TOUCH OF GOLD. There is a reason I did this card, read on to know why.


I have used Uniko's originally organic stamp and Hello blue bird's tropical foliage dies for this card. I chose the fall colors as they go beautifully with gold. I gold embossed the stamp and actually just touched some versamark on my watercoloured elements and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

I stamped a banner in gold EP and used Thank you sentiment from a stamp set by Stampendous that Paru ma'am gifted me. So I wanted to use the stamps she sent me and what could be better than thanking her with this card , for the gift and the opportunity to design for her challenge.



Some Nuvo drops and gold thread to embellish and here is my thank you card.
Another angel to show the shimmery gold.

I hope you like it and will join us with your …

Hello everyone,

It's an absolute honour to be invited as a guest at CASology for this week's challenge.


I have a card for you to inspire you to join us at the challenge. The cue this week was a challenge in itself for me, but I had a eureka moment for the cue - Menu.


So while thinking of what could be a design, I kept saying 'Menu' mentally and it just occurred to me that it says ME - N - U.  I had this fabulous stamp set from Altenew - 'Ladies day out' with the right image to match my sentiment. A little hand lettering for my sentiment - and Voila!


If it's you and me together, we don't even need an elaborate menu - just ' two teas, please'! 
I hope you like my interpretation of - Menu. I would surely love to know what you thought of  Me-n-u and your take on it. Hop on to the challenge to get inspired by the talented design team of CASology and don't forget to link in - your menu at the challenge.

Hello there,
Any Period drama fans here?? I am a big fan of those glamourous costumes, breathtaking scenery and impeccable manners...and of the romance and bravery and everything else. I have been a BIG fan of Downton Abbey... I have laughed, cried and grieved with them. And the challenge at AAA cards gave me an opporunity to bring back those memories. Now I didn't have much stuff I could put to use except this Downton Abbey - esque hat and a heart because of my love for it ;)

A little interest with the die cut heart and the sentiment to finish this clean and simple card. And a good news for the fans like me, here.


I hope you like my card. Thank you for stopping by :) and happy crafting!

 Michele has also generously offered up a $25 gift certificate to the overall winner at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. And if that weren't enough, if the chosen winner has used CAS-ual Fridays stamps and/or dies as the main focus in the card, that gift certificate will increase to $50.

Hello everyone, 
This card is for my love of baking.. from learning from my mom to watching Nigella Lawson and Rachel Allen, bake! These ladies made me want to bake just to get my house smell of baking! 
Also, Francine Vuilleme - I love her work,  her cards are just so inspiring. This design of the table cloth at the edge, I first saw in her card and now I see that it's a trend!

I also have a very special person, a lady who loved me like her daughter.  She is my first boss's wife and the day she'd bake a cake, I have no clue how,  but I'd land up to relish it. I loved her banana cakes (with walnuts) and that's why I had to put the bananas on this card. She's amazing!
I hope you like my card.

Hello friends,

We have a new colour challenge up at Indian Quilling Challenges blog and I have an interesting project today to share. I have been thinking of making some money envelopes for the coming wedding season, so I utilised this opportunity and made one with this month's colours. I kept my project, clean and simple. 

I made an envelope and used a blue card stock for layering and die cut the flap in a different color, so that my flowers stand out. I used 5 cm strip for the quilled roses and die- cut some leaves, arranged them, stamped my sentiment and embellished with these pretty Stardust sequins - Jewel mix from Ranganjali.




    I hope you like my work and are inspired to use these colours of the challenge and join in.
