I used the technique of lifting each glitter ball with a precision tip tweezer and paste them on the dress in layers. Phew!! you heard it right - layers. Enlarge the pic and you might notice there are 2 shades of pink. Ooooh i love pink!! I tried paper piecing, hope it shows - Just the dress though! :)
So here's the card:

Am with another card for a good friend.... ;)
I recently used my new DCWV Mat stack for my Dad's 60t birthday which i shall post on his baday only on 31st July :)
And i had few scraps of this gorgeous paper i couldn't let go. So i got my MS classic Butterfly punch out and pounced as many flutters as the poor paper allowed :) Talk bout being frugal :D
I added a fresh piece from the mat stack and i love how it allows us to make a quick n pretty BG. Added a stamped sentiment a pretty Pie Lane Button. Voila a pretty new creation was made! What say?
This is for a very close friend... rather she is like a sister! She aint on Blog land though.... :)

This card is all that and more! The black card stock was an extra. I stamped it with white Versamark pigment ink using CTMH stamp set. The sentiment is from the same set.
This was my first Rossette attemps from again a scrapof white card stock. And the lovely Pie Lane Button adds a nice touch! A simple happy card :)
I think am on a roll today! This is my 3rd post for the day :)
Cheers!
Yes at least i did when i got my set. I didnt wanna buy an inking tool for each ink as i just don't have the space so decided to use one tool with different blending foams. Question was how to maintain so many colours and rem them when i need them!!
So i was a bit frugal but it helped to keep things in place and made my life easy :) so this is what i did!
Hope you all are having a a great weekend! I have been sick this entire week and still recovering from a horrible viral!
But yep a bit better and stronger enough to make a card or two :) I really like the Mojo Monday sketch...aptly it got my Mojo back and the PDCC -"just a splash" was quite interesting!
So here is what i came up with :) This is one of my first Rossette and i loved it....gonna make more! I kinda liked how it turned out.
Its for a new friend i made on blogland who is just adorable! And i guess by now she knows she's getting it too ;)
Am also entering this one for Crafty JC's Friend's Forever Challenge

I recently acquired the gorgeous Glitter Ball set from Pie Lane!! Yes i also got the pretty holographic flutters which i plan to use soon :)
I have seen E.T using them a lot and i had similar ideas to create some flourish using them. So i just used old style fevicol along the flourish, poured the gorgeous glitter like a powder and patiently aligned them along :) better ways of doing it are welcome. Not totally impressed but happy they look continuous as a design :)
This card is based on the PDC colours - Eggplant, Orange and Fuschia. And yep i did couple of new things here.... the background is done with my newly acquired Hero Arts and misting with Distress Inks.The flutters were sent by dear M which have been stamped with Hero arts Happy stamp and then distressed. This card is full of bling so i added some more rhinestones. It was a fun way to distract my flu filled head :( Hope i feel better soon....

This ones long due :) I made this one for DH's baday last week (7th July ). It took me close to 5 days to complete it, yeah i did like a hour or more a day. I wanted to make it very detailed and had so so many ideas :) I have totally used glossy accents (its my new fav), much distressing, die cuts and patterned papers. And i totally enjoyed how it looked and DH flipped on it :)
