Beautiful Wings Birthday

Hello Everyone!!!

I’m so excited to finally be able to share with you all today, that I am the Guest Designer for the month of August at Newton’s Nook Designs!

The card I have today uses a mix of Newton's Nook products along with stencils & inks from other brands. Let's take a look.

Here is a close-up showing coloring on the butterfly image.

Process:

1. I started by sponging ink using Memento Dew Drops through Tim Holtz Dot Fade stencil on 4 x 5 1/4 inches Strathmore Bristol paper card panel.
2. On another Bristol card panel, I stamped various butterfly images from the Newton's Nook Designs Beautiful Wings stamp set using black ink.
3. I colored all of those images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and then fuzzy cut them.
4. I arranged all the images on the stenciled card panel , then decided the position for the sentiments.
5. The sentiments are a combination of stamps from the Newton's Nook Designs Beautiful Wings  & Newton loves Cake sets.
6. Finally I attached all the butterfly images to the card panel using foam tape. 
7. Lastly I finished the card by attaching the entire card panel to an A2 sized top folding card base.

I absolutely love this stamp set as it reminds me of all the quilling I did in the past! 

I hope you all liked it. I would love to hear back from you all. Thank you very much for taking your time to notice it. Hope to hear again from all of  u soon. Till then take care. :)

PS: If my posts inspire you to create something on similar lines, I feel highly flattered. But please, do respect the effort I take in conceptualizing and executing, please give a direct link to my work when you are inspired by mine. Thanks for understanding :-)

Happy Rakhi

Hello Everyone!!!

Today's post is a special one.  According to Hindu calendar tomorrow we celebrate "Rakshabandhan" all over India. Back in the olden days, Rajput queens sent "Rakhi" threads to rulers of neighboring states as a token of brotherhood. The rulers in turn vowed to protect them for life.  Today the festival symbolizes the same love and affection between brothers and sisters. While the sisters pray for the lifelong well being of their brothers, the brothers promise to care for them for as long as they live. People in India celebrate Rakhi with a lot of fun and enthusiasm.

For this auspicious occasion, I have created a few beautiful and easy card as well handmade Rakhi ideas using art supplies in my stash. I hope you like it. Lets have a look at them. 

For the card I did not feel like inventing the wheel all over as the Rakhi was more important to me. So I just followed this card idea all over again as is to created the card.  For the Rakhi I braided a few strands of red, green, yellow cross stitch threads along with few strands of  DMC Gold threads. Using some layered floral dies, I created the flowers, attahed leaves to them and finally adhered them to the braid. 

I am submitting this card to:

• Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes 
• Paru's Card Making Challenges - Anything Goes

I hope you all liked the card as well as Rakhi idea. I would love to hear back from you all. Thank you very much for taking your time to notice it. Hope to hear again from all of  u soon. 

Till then take care. :)

Shop Your Scraps - Striped Backgrounds

Hello Everyone!!!

Last week while organizing my card-stock and patterned papers, I realized that over the past few years I have accumulated a lot of paper scraps. I have always thought about throwing them away, but I can't come to do that. So I have decided to make cards just using those scraps.

While I was at it, I felt that it would be a good idea to share the process of creating those card ideas with you, thus I will be showcasing a new card idea using just scraps on my blog every month. How is that???

So let see this month's cards.

Technique: The technique is really very simple. I have created a short video to explain the process. I hope that helps.

I am submitting these cards to :

• Stamp Ink Paper # 109
• Crafty Sentiment - Anything Goes Challenge
• TTCRD Anything Goes Challenge
• Happy Little Stampers July Anything Goes with Die

I hope you all liked it. I would love to hear back from you all. Thank you very much for taking your time to notice it. Hope to hear again from all of  u soon. Till then take care. :)
