Good Morning Folks !!

How are you all doing ? Hope you all enjoying this month challenge here at DCAM . Today we have with us one of the most amazing and fabulous crafter  ,and she needs no introduction. She is non other than Ujjwal Gupta !! We all enjoy her creativity and inspiring creations. Welcome to DCAM Ujjwal ........ 

Over to her !

Hello, this is Ujjwal and I am so glad to be guest designing for DCAM Challenges this month, more so because the theme this month is one of my favorites, Clean and Simple (CAS) cards.

I have 3 cards to show you today and I hope you like them :)

Live & Laugh Card

First CAS card today is all about the play of colors. I have used distress inks (Mustard Seed, Barn Door, Tumbled Glass) on white cardstock to add the colors on this card and then a simple Prima bird image and Hero Art sentiment to finish it off.

Thinking of you Card

This card is one of my favorites because of the unique design. I have used a gorgeous flower from one of Penny Black Clear Stamp set and colored it using my Faber Castell Markers. The sentiment is also from the same set.

For You Card

The focal image is the hero of this card. I love this adorable Micia stamp and it is so much fun coloring it in. I love how that tiny bow adds the finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed looking at the cards today and I have inspired you in some way to play along the challenge at DCAM this month. I can't wait to see what you create.

Happy Crafting!

~Thanks

First attempt at CAS Cards

Hello fellas. How are you all doing? To day it's my turn to bring you some inspiration. This month challenge is CAS cards. Cas card is not my style. I love heavy embellished cards with lots of flowers, pearls and glitters. So here is my inspiration:

For the first card I have used Kaisercraft stamp set. I have used White embossing powder from our store. 

    

 Here comes second card. I have used different distress inks to stamp the butterflies and added some pearls. I have used Hero arts stamp set.

Here is the last card for today. I have used Kaisercraft stamp set from our DCAM store. 

So hurry up and enter into our current challenge Here.

Take care

My 1st attempt at CAS

Hello everyone!
How are you all doing? Well i am here today to share few CAS Cards i made as an inspiration for you all for our current CHALLENGE # 5 CAS (Clean and simple) Cards!
Well CAS is not really difficult if you know how to use your supplies! While i was trying my hand on this style i did a lil research. I have few points to share with you all which might be helpful to newbies like me :)
CAS is all about the design - not the technique , not the tools not the embellishments. It should be uncluttered and should have open space (white space). Its not compulsory to use white as your base, you can use coloured base but it should be uncluttered like i said before.
So enough of gyan! :P Let me share what i made!

For my first card i have used a Technique Tuesday stamp set. Both the sentiment and heart are from the stamp set. I've layered this to give the card a lil dimension.

For my second card I've used quilling strips from my stash. Quilling strips are great for CAS Cards they are easy to use and fun. The die and stamp set is by Simon says stamp. Here too I've added a layer.

Now for my last card I have coloured the flower and the leaves  using distress inks the images are from a stamp set by The craft meow. I am still working on my colouring. The sentiment used is from just rite stampers.

Hope you all like my cards! Dont forget to participate in our current CHALLENGE # 5 CAS- (Clean and Simple) CARDS!!

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Time !

Hello friends,

Its is Sachi here , and here's my inspiration for this months amazing challenge set by Romina.

Thanks to DCAM this is the very first time i have attempted these kind of cards , So here they are -

The first one is a single layer CAS card , i have simple picked my fav intricate MME stamp and randomly stamped them across one side oft the card in distress and versacolour inks. Hope the sentiment does justice to the mood of the card!

For the 2nd one i have made a layered and much more embellished card and while making this one i kept reminding myself its CAS :) The cupcake is coloured using distress markers and outlined with the brown spectra noir marker with lots of chunky glitter !

The 3rd card is using the gorgeous Technique Tuesday stamp ,here i have done lots of stamping , colouring and paper piercing , the butterflies are again coloured with micas and distress markers . I think the sentiment depicts the scene oft the card perfectly well. For the green background i have applied distress stain shabby shutters.

Thats it from you , hope you like my creations , would be great to hear from you .

And dont forget to join in our current CHALLENGE # 5 CAS- (Clean and Simple) CARDS !
