Okay so now that i have got our full attention ( :D ) Its time to understand the challenge -  This time we present to u a CASE STUDY or SCRAP LIFT challenge And the card we will be drawing inspiration from is -

By romina  Isnt it a beauty ? Since it was romina's idea to have another case study,  we (The DTM's) picked her card instead :D    So For this challenge   Create a Layout or a Card based on the above card . You may change the color, change the elements even play with the layout a lil bit
but over all it should clearly show that this was "CASED " or "SCRAP LIFTED" from d above image
in other words it should have a significant resemblance to the above card .

Design team Inspiration Parade -     Guest Designer - Snehal Welde

She says its her first time as a GD , but can u believe it ?  Snehal constantly creates some great cards and has often been our Top3. This challenge in particular she has done this amazing flower that catches all the attention.  All the elements have nicely come together ! Its certainly how you could go for this challenge :)   Romina

   And this is from the muse herself :) :) ! Another great creation in Pink by Romina.  Love the sentiment and the misting looks beautiful !   Nirupama

This is an inspiration for all the scrapbookers out there :) for the challenge.  Since we know Niru is Strong in her LO's she did this fabulous page with the title bubbles ! Wait till u read the whole story :) its a beauty . She used the mist, title placement and flair instead of a flower. I particularly am in love with the buttons :) who isnt ?
  Melissa

  Another great creation by mel,The embossing is beautiful  and the doily with the butterfly is nicely done! Love the colors used here :) thanks mel ! 
  Pooja

Here is what i made, I loved the embossing on romina's card but didnt have anything similar so went with an over all embossed pattern, the flower is made of lace and i decided to keep the base colorful too :)    Hope u loved our inspirations  Please drop a line on our DT's blogs too :) they work very hard for this.  So join us in this Challenge to create a Case study card or layout.

I (Niru) have been seeing this trend pop up on pinterest a lot lately. Cake decorating, home decor and in fashion, but not much in the crafting world.

So your challenge this time is - To create a "Ombre" card or page.

This challenge is Sponsored by:

So play with us if u want to win a fabulous "50 dirhams voucher"
from the Dubai based Crafting club 

Pretty paper studio ,
successfully run by our very own previous DT member 

NEELU !

Time for the inspiration parade --

She actually did two projects for this challenge, but I chose this one to feature.  I love the die cut negatives backed with different papers.  I love the letterpress on the sentiments and use of twine.

Melissa did the cutest card, with some ombre on the skirt.  She mattes it with contrasting colours and added neutral rolled paper flowers as embellishments.  She even backed the card with wire for texture.

Pooja created another gorgeous card here with different shades of pink.  Love the combination of color and shape, with the hand cut look of the diamonds.  Of course, you can never go wrong with a doily and a few jewels on top.

I love the way all the cards turned out.  I sort of made a card as well and added it to the center of a layout for my project.  I painted some yellow ombre stripes with my new watercolor set and then punched out circles and butterflies.  I added a few buttons and stickers for dimension and texture.

If u thought u Can go wrong with shades of glitter , think again!!
I love how the ombre is the central focus of this card.
And the dies are a heart stealer !

It is a relatively simple concept, easy to achieve, but with striking results.  I hope you'll play along!

GOOD LUCK !!

~Niru~
