Love Is You

 
Hello friends! Here is my second post for the day. For the first post of the day please click here.
 
 Now this card is completely inspired from the head accessory (turban) of a character from a television show being currently aired on Star Plus...hmmm...Mahabharat. Hehe!! I so loved the colours together that I could not resist the urge to use them in my card..I hope you like it..As Neha said in this post here "SPOT IT... CAPTURE IT".
I hope I did justice to her really inspiring post!
 
 

 Well in spite of being planned, this card took time more than I had imagined. Almost a hour and a half! I did not have the golden papers so had to paint the white layering paper in gold acrylic paint ..the flourish is also painted. The embossed card is distressed using Peacock feathers distress ink from Itsy Bitsy which I cut in half and adhered such that the golden layering would show in the middle (approx10 mm). After this I used red and black cardstock for the sentiment.. I also used crafters workshop template-mini punchinella and the chunky glitter and the  butterflies are from pielane.and the wood veneer is from studio calico from lulupu.com



 
 
Submitting the card to the following challenges:
Craft hoarders anonymous- use your style- my style here is dramatic cards... :) hope you like it Gloria..I just love your card making style. And I am a big time fan of yours...
 
Lulupu- something new-the new here is the peacock feathers distress inks which I used here..in fact the first card which has seen this ink ,,,and the studio calico wood veneer -alphabets from lulupu.com
 
 
 Crafty hands- embossed background
 Frosted designs - for me Love is You!
 
hope you like it:)

  16. Oh wow Jaya - this is absolutely striking! These colours are fantastic together and I just love how you overcome a problem such as having no gold backing paper - or (as in the previous card) the wrong coloured flowers - you just get out your gold acrylic paint and your mister spray and change things! This is a super card!!

    Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
