A New Card for a New Beginning

G'Day
Been a while. I am sure some of you at a point in time have been through a Crafters Block. Well this fiesta of a time away from creating cards, tags and canvas, has obtained a fresh and clear mind....as a quote saying "too much of one good thing is never good" or something like that.

I think I have gotten my mojo back, after about a month, hanks to my hubby and youtube. Two of the best in my life. I let out my fustration or whatever crafters block I was going through to my hubby and he understood and pointed me in the right direction. Then I was trying to get inspired by youtube video clips showing how to make layouts for anything really and bam!! Just this one made my day, it bought me back to reality and the way I love to create cards, tags and canvas.

Now before I show you what I created on a flat panel canvas, I would like to share a basic card I have made, keeping in mind couple of challenges that I would like to enter.

I have lots of design paper, which I really love and wanted to use for so long.

Here is the card. Click pictures for detail.


 

I love how the colours of the design paper co ordinate together and since I am a purple loving person I decided with light purple designs. A simple design really, just some stamping, cutting and gluing, all on a white base card that opens vertically.

I really love this card and so does my hubby who said "This is really beautiful".

 

I used :

Design Paper :- KaiserCraft (Fairy Tales)

Ribbon :- Favours by Vivaldi

Design scissors :- Victorian cut

Bling :- KaiserCraft (Rhinestones)

Stamps :- STAMPlorations Artiful Flutters (butterfly), Trendy Feathers (sentiment)

Ink :- Distress ink - dusty concord, Memento - sweet plum

and some silver glitter glue for the beautifully dimensional butterfly.

 

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges.
