Simple Sketches # 4

Hey Crafters,

Here is a quick card i made based on Smriti's Simple Sketches .  I have used my latest PP to create this card.
I used equal size strips places them in different angles to create the look and stuck them together with a paper strip from the back. I also distress each paper with a matching distress ink colour which is not so prominent in this pic though. I then stuck the final piece with straightened borders on the main card and cut of the excess from either side. Isn't that quick?

Thanks. Have a nice day!

Supplies: PP, El Erre Fabriano, Distress inks

 Cheers!

Cupcakes!

Hi Crafters!!

Hope u all had a lovely weekend :) Here's a Cup cake i made for the Craft JC Challege. I use Digi's very rarely but the challenge tempted me into it - so i used both the image and the sentiment! I used my latest Glossy Accents to the Cupcake toppings and it looks very pretty in real n not here unfortunately! ITs another framed card to accentuate the image.

Supplies: Printed Digi Image & Sentiment, Glossy Accents,

Kaisercraft Stamps, Distress inks, ribbons from stash
