If Friends were flowers

How i love to be inspired by other crafter. Today's card is one of them. I am so loving the effect it creates. This technique is inspired by Maile from PTI DT (thanx for the inspiration). Love the simplicity of it and yet it adds some textures. Really great for the One layer Magic Challenge i am entering this card at Lawnscaping Challenge #16.
As well with CAS-ual Friday Challenge #16 (Embossing)

Hope that you can see the shine from the heat emboss (picture below). It does give awesome texture to the card, doesn't it? I will definitely using this technique more. Love...love...love....

Still No inside card from me....maybe next time....

Stamps: Blissful Botanicals, Hello Friend (Lawn Fawn)

Other: Green Apple Divine Twine, Certainly Celery Buttons (SU!), Whisper white Cardstock, Tuxedo Black (Memento Tsukineko), Clear emboss Powder, Heat Gun

Hope you are inspired as well

Friend to Friend

Ahhh.....another freezing weather in Sydney. It is quite nice between 1000hr and 1500hr because the sun is quite strong. So the sunshine definitely helps in keeping me warm.

I got another card to share today. Nothing for the inside this time..(sorry!)
I am using the combination of cherry cobler, basic black, very vanilla and soft suede CS from SU and also soft suede and cherry cobbler ink. I embossed lattice folder from sizzix on the cherry cobbler oval nesti cut. Attached Soft suede little leaves from SU sizzlits dies on to the oval and pop up 'all a flutter' butterfly from SU using dimensional. Attach a Strip of SU basic black satin ribbon. Finishing it off with SU 'friend to friend' sentiment (from teeny tiny sentiment set) on very vanilla CS and attached with silver brads.

This card will be joining at these challenges:

1. Just Add Ink - JAI 75 (Colour Challenge); following the colour palette

2. July 2011 Card Chain Challenge (CCC); Following below sketch and theme of 'Friendship'

Hi there peeps...

It's been a while (feels like it) since i do any challenge. This card of mine will be joining June CCC over at Lily Pad Cards. 

I initially plan using a clothes line theme. Half way through i just realized that i actually needed to send this card to someone. Unfortunately i created a card for baby shower with my friend's coming baby shower in mind. Anyway...i then save the card in a safe place to continue later and starting on a new card for CCC. 

I am trying hard to stick with clothes line theme and finally i decided to combined it with friendship theme as well. Hopefully it makes sense to y'all....ahahaha...

Here is my take and hoping that whomever received this would be delighted with my card. 

Here is the inside look. Just a simple one to leave space for writing.

Excuse the pics....as you can see i took the pic at night time but it will do for now....LOL!

Supplies used:
CS: Pretty in Pink, Crumb Cake, Whisper White (SU!); DSP: Raspberry Tart (Retired SU!)
Inks: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake (SU!)
Stamps: Text objects (Verve Stamps)
Others: Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Pearls, Scalloped Circle Punch (SU!), Inverted Circle Nesti, Blossom Twine (The Twinery), Flower Rub-ons {bought it ages ago in Indonesia. I think the brand is Stick It}

Happy Long weekend for downunders...
