Envelope#1

Traditional  Style Envelope


Front image

Back cover

Body with crush material - felt clothing - Beautiful Tassel latkan with clayed parrot - colorful pom pom lace!
The tassel and clay parrot made by myself to enhance the beauty of this envelope and gave it a more traditional look!
It's very easy to make a tassel as shown in the pic. I used some silk threads, a cap for hanging, glued that tied silk threads inside the cap and cut the silk thread loop from the centre, voila done! And added those handmade clay parrot with some beads and pom poms through a very thin wire.

Envelope#2

Fancy Moraccon style Envelope

For this, I die cut the pretty Moraccon style envelope topper in white.  On a white panel created a colorful Distress Oxide background. Color those pretty blooms from an uncolored critter sheet, fussy cut them and added a bannered sentiment.

Envelope #3
Alcohol inking with dry embossing

This envelope features a colorful background made with reflective Yupo paper and different alcohol inks with mixative gold and did dry embossing using envelope topper. Then highlighted it with my white gel pen, added some pearl dots in silver. The big and bold celebrate chiplet sentiment with some party flavour cutouts from the critter sheet. Finished it off with a golden string.

Birthday wishes!

Hello to all!

Happy Thursday!

Today's card is featuring Marvellous Mehndi style Patterns and fun to play with it!
Huge Congrats to Uniko and LIM challenge Team on celebrating their Birthdays!!!

Here I used desert night ink to stamp the motifs with a bigger image and created beautiful patterns.  Colored the main image with watercolor brushes and pens. I also heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of navy blue card stock and added to the main image. 

Stamped the same big motif on to the envelope at the edge too!

Love is in the air interactive card!

Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

After a month-long gap, I am back with my new creations! Happy me!!!

Since Valentine's is just around the corner I thought I'd bust out some stamps and dies with a combo of stencil and ink blending to put a cute valentine together!

I used a whole lotta of traditional Valentine colors in the shades of red, pinks and a touch of little purple to make this one. I love being to stretch my stamps for different occasions, don't you?

Using Falling my hearts stencil I created the front panel with a blended vertical stripe and cut out a circle window for peeking the sentiment though. Added a tiny heart chippie too.

When the mojo takes flight you start using all the tools with your imagination and creativity. Plus, it's nice not to feel like I'm not making the same card again and again. 

To create the cloud background, I die cut a mask with one of the stitched cloud borders. Placed it onto the panel and ink-blended with some dye inks. I moved my own crated mask a bunch of times. Maybe too many? I certainly got carried away as there are lots of clouds here!

I stamped the hot air balloon image with cute creatures enjoying riding in the basket on the one side of my white card panel and partially cut it at the edge. Watercolored the image with Zig markers. Then created the cloud background. Added some white splatters. And added the sentiment in black which is perfectly match with the scene.

And I think it is totally adorable!

Thanks for spending your wonderful time with me!

Stitched pattern cards with bold sentiments!

Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Hoping you all enjoyed Christmas with your friends and family!

Now time to create something different for celebrating New Year and I made a love card too. I did the stitching first time on my cards and very much happy with pretty results and the bold chiplet sentiment has truly enhanced the beauty of these projects!!!

Card #1

Celebrate

I created holes to stitch my white panel using a die. It's a double shade thread, created a random stitched pattern and left the centre part to adhered lotus which is a critter sheet and I fussy cut them. Added the bold Celebrate chiplet sentiment. 

Card #2

Love

Again I created the holes on a white panel for stitching. Then I roughly drew a heart shape lightly with my pencil. And using the double shade pink thread and created a stitched cute heart.

Now adhered this white panel on my card base. Added the Love Chiplet with a tiny heart in pink.

Isn't it soooooo cute!!!

Hoping I inspired you!

Have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2019!!!

Today I am presenting super quick CAS style cards.

Card #1
You make life sweet

On a piece of a white panel, I created a splattered background using sprays and shower of flutters stencil in blue.
Placed the heat embossed sentiment with sweet die cut text on my bright yellow card panel.

Card #2
You are my sunshine

I stamped the sentiment in Jet black on a textured off-white CS and cut it on an angle. Then inked my top image only through the acrylic block.

A strip of bright and glittery sheet added the perfect pop. And added some fun foiling for more shine and textures.

Card #3
Trendy Butterflies

Sometimes when making a card, I wonder what it would have looked like using the same image in different colors. So I made a set of 2 cards using Trendy butterflies stamp set and both of butterflies are stamped in different colors, heat embossed and negative parts are to be watercolored, I fussy cut them. And the result was so pretty!

The background is dry embossed using the different stencils. Heat embossed the butterflies and watercolored them using ZIGs. Then a shiny and bright panel is added at the white panel with a sentiment.
