Step Card Yet Again

Hello peeps,

Hope you all are having great crafting time. I just managed to make a card yesterday night. Due to time constraints, I do not craft daily. I wanted to enter for few challenges , so made a card combining these challenges. It is a three step card. I made this type of folded card one year back also.You can check it here.
Though I work mostly with soft colours. But this time tried to go for some brights. Went for three pattern papers lying in my stash for a year.
I wanted to add few things made out of punches in my card and what can be better than a step card to showcase all together. So here's the card -



The tree trunk is handdrawn and handcut. I have used heart punch to make leaves of the tree. The heart doily in the second step is  made with a corner punch. The swans are made with heart punch. The neck of swan is handcut and face is made with stampin up bird punch. I have distressed heart with SU lucky limeade dye ink and Swans with Memento Dandelion dye ink. The sentiment is a freebie I found on net,

Shabby Chic Love

Hiya,
I am back !! Hope you all are doing good !!

These days I am working on my new watermark..it's still not complete yet. Swirls and dots are my favourite pattern. Do tell me what's yours ??

Well today I am sharing a shabby chic love card with you all. This is my first actual try on this style of cardmaking. It took me 3 days to complete it. I never make cards in installments. But due to time constraints, it took so long. Anyways I am happy with the outcome. Take a look -

I have used three pattern papers in this card. The edges of base paper is distressed with scissor. I was trying to make pleated ribbon for long and finally implemented in this card. It's not perfect yet. The background of tag is made from chalk colours.The handdrawn bird is fussy cut and popped using foam tape. For the first time, I have recycled corrugated sheet from a packaging box. It is cut using Itsy Bitsy thin cut heart die.

Circular Step Card

Hi All,

I am very excited to share with you all that i have joined design team of Catchy Challenges. The theme for the current challenge is  " Let's Celebrate this V Day with Stamped Flowers ". And  my inspiration  is a center step card. I have tried this card for the first and believe me cutting of steps is very easy.
