Mid Month Inspiration - Tejal



Hello everyone,

Tejal here, I am a little late posting a 2nd inspiration this month for the TTC#3 challenge. But better late than never..
So I am still in love with my MFT (My Favorite Things) cuties and I used them to make this card.

I have used my two cuties to replace the G in the HUGS!



I even added some shimmer on the alphabets. It looks awesome and shimmery in real life ..photos don't do it justice.


I could not stop at just one card, so I ended up making a tag too!


I hope you have checked out Neha's and Saumya's inspirations and left some love for them. 
I have all the details on my blog, if you are interested in knowing how I made this.

The challenge ends on 31st, hope you do join us in  The Twisted Challenges 3: Go Bold + Replace Me

Till the next challenge!

Mid Month Challenge # 3

Hi All,

Saumya here to inspire you further with my projects. I love partying and gifts are sometimes a main part of a lots of these parties. I love gift wrapping and making my owns gift bags and tags along with a card. So today am showcasing those!!!

Card:


Last time I replaced the 'A' in 'Happy' so this time I thought of replacing the 'Y' with a similar image that I used last time but by turning it upside down. Signifying the happy head over heels excitement for the birthday party!




I have also replaced my 'I' in 'Birthday' with an ice cream and the 'Y' with a cute rabbit. These replacements signify some personal touches for the little girl I plan to gift it to, she loves Ice cream and has a pet rabbit who is also her best friend.

Gift Bag:





Sometimes saying thanks after a party or just showing one's love and appreciation to someone is very important. So this gift bag serves the purpose and I have replaced 'T' from the 'Thanks' with a sweet girl holding a fully bloomed flower offering her appreciation.

Bottle Tags:


Tags can also speak a thousands words in a gift ....so here is my tag speaking about a gang of friends showing their love and appreciation to someone special on his/her special day.




I have replaced 'O' from the word 'From' with a flower embellishment, below which the gang can sign their names.

You can think of ways your embellishments can be a part of this replacement challenge too.


I hope these inspire you with ideas for your projects to take part in our August Challenge

Happy Crafting

Saumya

TTC#3: Go Bold + Replace Me

Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for such an amazing response to our 2nd challenge. We loved your creativity in showcasing our theme.
We are here today with our 3rd challenge. As always, ours is an "Any Project + Monthly Theme". (i.e. any kind of project cards, mixed media, art journal but it has to include the monthly theme)


This month's challenge is 
"Go Bold + Replace Me"
i.e. Use Bold Sentiments & Replace An Alphabet 



Does this sound complicated or confusing? To put it simply, Use Bold sentiments on your card (you can stamp them, draw them, use die cuts etc) and then replace one of the alphabets in the Bold Sentiment with an image (you can draw, stamp, use a die cut in place of the alphabet)
Let your creativity fly!! The Twisted Challenge girls and our First Guest designer have some amazing inspirations for you. 


Here are the inspirations for this Challenge:

Our Guest Designer & Winner of TTC#1: Pooja has chosen to replace the O in BLOOM with flowers! And look at that beyond amazing coloring!! It just blew our minds when we saw it! We absolutely love your inspiration Pooja! Do hop over to her blog to see how she created  this gorjuss card!

Saumya has chosen to go the cutesy way! Some lovely Rakshabandhan cards for her little nephews with adorable images, that replace the A in Happy and I in Smiles! Absolutely love the adorable feel of this card!

Dr. Neha has taken a Art Journal approach and created an amazing Watermelon Mojito inspired journal spread. She has replaced the Y in Joys with a Mojito image. And look at that amazing Zentangling!


Last but not the least, is Tejal's inspiration card. She has gone all foodie on her card, and created a Donut love card! Replacing the O in the donut with an actual donut! (Its making me want a donut!)
