Heart N Heart Card

At Simply Create Too the challenge this month is 

Love / Valentine

I started with the center heart for both the cards.

I found this simple pic of heart gem on the web, with the help of Design Space I converted it into a cut file.

As the background added rows of  hearts and added the sentiment with Cricut (cricut wrote for me :)).For the finishing touch added glitter to it.

As for the second card the center heart was made with music background stamp. Long time ago I remember seeing this embellishment somewhere(no idea whether in a store or web)so just tried to recreate it. 

I used the same writing and the cutout hearts from the previous card to create this card background.

Cracked Paint Decoupage box

Hi All!!!!

For this month Challenge at Simply Create Too Blog is "Anything Goes". So here I am with an Altered box. Let's get started now......

This box had a sheet of  mica covering the entire box ,I tried to paint on top of it but it didn't stick ....so I peeled the mica sheet from the box.

This is how it looks after removing the mica.....

For the cracked effect.....first I painted black all over and left to dry completely.Then applied a thin coat of crackle medium,left it to dry still it became slightly sticky. After that I painted white on top....within seconds the cracks will appear.

 Decoupage on the Box

The cracks are seen through the tissue.

Stamped and embossed the sentiment.....the rose diecut is from Elizabeth Crafts. Added color to the edges with distress ink.

Stuck the Hinges with E6000

Mom's Love - Simply Create Too Challenge

Challenge of this month for Simply Create Too Blog is

"Pretty Woman"

For this challenge I chose to do a card for Mother's Day. I googled for the center image and found this silhouette of a mother and child, with the help of the Cricut I cut out the image and the sentiment. 

Built the card around the image and for the frame I used Spellbinders Blooming Collection.

 My teammate commented on the card saying "The softness of it makes one think of the tenderness and love a women has to offer!!!!". Very very true...after finishing the card I felt such a joy and pride to be a mother.

Happy Mother's Day To All The Wonderful Mothers!!!!
