October challenge inspiration with Swapna

Hi.. Crafty friends..

Swapna here, today I have 3 cards to share using October release. The release is just awesome. It has product for everyone. Hope you are playing along with our fun filled October challenge. My cards are based on the October challenge theme. Lets just dive in my post.

Card #1

** Used number die cuts n made the background by gluing them in random pattern on a black card panel. 
** Die cut number 1 & st with red glitter foam. 
** Heat embossed sentiment with white embossing powder. 
** Foam mounted panel towards top of card base. 
** Glued glitter foam pieces in place to finish the card. 


Here is close up of glitter foam the number background. 



Card #2

** This is my first attempt in colouring on vellum. 
** I stamped & gold heat embossed the image on vellum. 
** Used few copics to colour it on back (many have said that colouring directly on heat embossed image will damage copic nibs). 
** I didn't feel like taking risk with glueing vellum on card front. So i left 1/2" towards top so that i can fold and glue it behind. 
** Heat embossed sentiment with gold embossing powder. 
** Added few enamel dots to the card.


Here is close up sentiment and the the coloured flowers.


Card #3

** This was the card which i made when i was struggling with ideas. 
** I secured card base n stencil and applied embossing paste.  Left it to dry of its own. 
** Sprayed gold shimmer mist from ranger. 
** Gold heat embossed two butter flies and fussy cut them out.
** Coloured one butterfly with copics (carefully) and few strokes with gold marker. Glued it on other plain butterfly.  
** Heat embossed sentiment on vellum n sandwiched it between two scalloped circles. 
** Placed sentiment n butterfly with liquid glue. 
** To finish the card added few clear stones towards top n 3 more on butterfly's body.
