Birthday Candles

Hello!
    A happy Sunday to you all. Here's another CAS card for the MFT sketch challenge. 

Supplies used:

MFT-Washi tape die-namics (for candles)
Stampin'Up papers
Elizabeth Craft Designs-Triple leaf set (for flames)
leather paper (from India)
kraft paper
Stampendous-Birthday brackets (sentiment)
chalk pastels
    Using one paper of each colour with simple designs from the Stampin'Up pad, the five candles were die cut using the smallest washi tape die. Then one end of each was again die cut using the other two dies so that each candle had a different shape at the flame end. The flames were cut with the leaf die from leather paper which has both texture and shine. After arranging the candles, a glow was added to each using chalk pastels.

MFT Sketch & Colour

Hi!
    Thanks for your visits and encouraging comments. I'm back with a card for MFT challenges ...sketch and colour. I like the way it turned out and I hope you like it too.

Supplies used:

designer paper from RAK
kraft paper
foam
MFT-Little letters die-namics
        Thanks so very much (sentiment you) 
Brilliance pearlescent sky blue ink
bling
Ranger ice stickles
    The inspiration for this card is from MFT card challenges...

I just happened to find a paper with the right colours in my collection. I cut it out around the design on the paper, added kraft, the die cut letters and stamped 'you'. That was how it was supposed to end. But as an ink boo-boo needed to be hidden, the bling landed there and as the shiny bling looked lonesome, I added ice stickles on the foam alphabets.

Happy Birthday Fashion Girl

Hello!
    I'm here today to share a card made with a Unity girl stamp coloured by my daughter two years ago. I just completed the card for the girl challenge on the Unity facebook page

Supplies used:
Unity-Roxanne Fashionista (image) 
Crayola colour pencils
Lefranc & Bourgeois pan watercolours (background)
designer paper from RAK
confetti (sentiment)
Ranger glossy accents
Ranger ice stickles
    The image was stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with colour pencils. The background was watercoloured, the image was fussy cut halfway at the legs to add designer paper to resemble the floor. Glossy accents were added to the bangle, belt and button of bag and a touch of ice stickles to the closing flap of the bag and top of the sandles. After splattering some black ink on the blank half of the card, I added the confetti sentiment. I used two...yellow at the bottom for a shadow effect.
