Let Me Show you what i cooked up!!!

I made two cards, both are masculine … The first one is Baby Announcement/ Baby Arrival card…  For this card i used 3 Ingredients Stamped Image, Die cuts and Embellishments.. This is CAS card, i made after a long time… lot of stamping with tints of blue to get a abstract look with simple layering and embellishing with my favorite enamel dots.. 




Here is my next card, its not a CAS but a Simple Masculine Card with BLUE!!!! For this Cards the Ingredients used are Spray, Die cuts and Embellishment..


The base is a corrugated sheet, recycled from a corrugated packaging box, added random molding paste/texture paste and painted with distress paint(Mix Broken China and tarnished brass, which was a left over when i painted some other project.. ) and later added lindy's stamp gang spray from one corner… so its have of shine , half of pastel look, jus to give a more masculine meaning.. The key and gears are sizzix bigz chipboard die cuts… added vintage photo distress paints and dry brushed silver (brushed pewter) to match the sentiments shade… 'Congrats' is American Crafts Thickers… 




Your next stop is ----> 
Pratiksha

    Varshitha. Both the cards are awesome. I love the blue circles in the CAS card. And using a corrugated cardboard as the background seems to be a perfect idea for a masculine card. Love both of them. :)

    Once they get addicted to the pleasures of home cooked food, fast food eateries will become anathema to them. Let your whole family bask in the warmth of your hearth and your cooking. It will be best for everybody's health and the family's budget. Cook Jobs
