Whacky colors: Purple, orange and green

Ok! I know I am late for this challenge... I made it based on the color challenge at 365 Cards, completely forgetting that it is a daily challenge!! :-((( Anyway, now that the card is ready, I might as well post it.
Oh and one more disaster. I wanted to make a card for the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. This week's challenge was based on one of my most favorite movies- My Fair Lady. But since the challenge was to use Embossing on a card, it was a little difficult one for me (I have no idea whatsoever how to emboss properly! No embossing powder available here, remember!)... Did read the tutorials... almost managed one faux embossing, but messed it up and had to trash it. :-( Anyway, just because I wanted so badly to play, I used some embossed paper. Does that count? Well, I don't know!!

Anyway, the only good thing is that I was able to make my second card based on the 2S4U sketch this week. Isn't that awesome!? :-)

My card recipe:
Cardstock: Metallic CS from the DCWV stack, printed paper from Hobby Ideas, purple tinted paper

Stamp: Gift stamp from Hobby Ideas (yeah, the same new set I bought 2 days back)

Others: Crocheted lace, decorative flowers and beads from local craft stores

PS: Please bear my stamping for some time. I am still trying to learn how to layer properly. I will then try and concentrate on the coloring techniques et al.

2S4U Sketch # 22

Hi,

My take on Laura's sketch #22 at 2S4U. I am taking part in this awesome weekly challenge after a really long time. I have not added any sentiment to this card yet, because I am still not sure whom this is for. No birthdays or anniversaries coming up soon!! :-) I am glad I was able to make a card without the inspiration that I usually need for making anything.
My card recipe:
CS: Pink shimmering textured CS from DCWV paper stack, the purple paper is decoupage paper from Hobby Ideas, yellow CS is textured paper from a local store
Stamps: All stamps (flower vase and butterflies) are from Hobby Ideas
Others: Fevicryl 3D outliner, Staedtler water color pencils
I have tried to give the card a 3D effect by layering the vases one over the other and mounting the butterflies on foam tapes.

Love,

Smita
