Now for some inspiration...

For this months's 3 colour challenge, I have made this fun shaker card! I have used a white card base, black and white twine and the three colours, red, yellow and green, to make this card.
I used Peek-a-boo scalloped circle die to make this shaker.
I used the die to cut seven scalloped circles, which I then stacked using Ranger multi medium matte. I added a piece of acetate before adding on the final layer of circle. I created a background using
Lawn Fawn's 'Sew Lovely' stamp set.
I placed the sentiment from MFT's 'Sew Nifty' stamp and die set across the shaker to finish the card.

For the tag, I started with a cream coloured tag, cut using MFT's 'tag you're it' stamp and die set.

I then stamped the gingham pattern in brown across the bottom of the tag. I added a bright yellow die cut sunflower (spellbinders), some Mayarts twine, a wooden button and some red sequins to finish the tag. The sentiment from Hero Arts, really pops on the checked background, don't you think?

To inspire you further, the fabulous Jasleen Kaur is in the house!!

Here's what she has to say...

Jasleen Kaur

Hello!

I'm Jasleen and i feel so happy to be invited over at Paru's Card Making Challenges

as a Guest Designer.

I started my crafting and blogging journey three years ago when I accidently stumbled upon some beautiful handmade cards while surfing the internet.

Card making and quilling are what I enjoy most, and I'm more inclined towards Clean and Simple, minimalist style of card making.

I mostly draw my inspiration from the simple things I come across in day-to-day life, and when I need to recharge my mind with a creative dose of inspiration, visiting blogs of other card makers and crafters helps a lot.

You can view more of my workon my blog Happily Ever Crafter or my Instagram Account.

Thank You paru for this amazing opportunity.

I'm sharing a card and two tags I made keeping this month's challenge theme in mind, which is to use just three colours (other than black, white and kraft) on your card or tag.

Here is the card..

This clean and simple one-layered card

was made using floral stamps from

Happy Little Stampers 'Doodled flowers' stamp set.

I coloured them using Faber Castell watercolour pencils and connector pens.

The sentiment is from MFT's 'Donuts and Sprinkles' stamp set and

from Mudra's 'Mom I Love You' stamp set.

I have also stamped on the inside of the card.

To make the first tag, I die cut the scalloped circle using the Sizzix framelits die-scalloped circles. That cup was make by hand, cutting and then scoring with the help of MS scoring tool and
bone folder, followed by sponging it with brown ink.
The yellow cake was made using felt and the 'cherry' on the top is a die cut heart.
The base was lightly sponged using distress ink-salty ocean and
the little cupcake was mounted over this base.
