Diwali card

 

Hi Friends !! I am making diwali cards these days . Sharing one of them . Its lil difficult for me to not include flowers in my card and instead work on a diff theme  . So , trying my skills on that. This is a very common concept of making a leaf  and then Ganesha over it. I hand cut the leaf and then quilled the face on it and embellished it with 3-d outliner and glitter . Used stamps for the border.

Previously I used to make a lot of traditionally decorated stuffs , but last week when I sat to make cards I went out of ideas . Also then I ordered Ganesha stamps from Krafter's kart . Tried to make few envelopes using it. Will share soon.

Hope you like it!!

Ganesha quilling

Hello friends , I have been working on this project since few days.. My version of quilled Ganesha. I selected a picture of Ganesha , sketched it and started to quill randomly. I have used shiny stones to make its jewellery . Done lot of bee hiving . Love the way its foot turned up.

** Please ignore the reflection over the pics as I forgot to take the pics before framing. Poor me , feeling so bad about it as I never fail to click pics of any of my smallest thing. **

My family loved it very very much.

Do let me know how you like it .

Made this gift box yesterday out of a chocolate box which my husband gifted me ( I am very fond of chocolates) . I have rolled tissue  paper to make the outer boundary . Decorated it with some quilled flowers , beads , bling flower and a bow . The cute birdie is stamped and cut.

Trial with stamping ;)

Hello friends!! As you know I am not at all stamping gal.... I always get amazed looking at other crafters cards using stamps. I wonder where do they get such ideas from to use stamps. Its not an easy task :P


Well I don't have a lot of collection of stamps and inks... But from all I have I have tried to create this with using stamps is different styles. I loved vertical bars part the most , used polka dots washi tapes that I won from Rachana's candy  . Isn't it a subtle , peaceful card ?? Submitting it for  creativecardchallenge    and     Pretty Paper studio  .

Thanks a lot to the challenges for encouraging me to move out of my comfort zone and try something new.

A red , blue and pink card

Hello all !! This is my take on METAL-'URGE'Y  (ICR) as well as Color Bingo - red , blue and pink.


Made this card for two of the above challenges. Had a tough time on deciding on to papers and colors. But loved the end product. The blue pp is my win from hands2hearts and the pink floral one is from dear friend Darshana during ICR official meet held in Pune. I have used quilled royal flowers , sentiment is hand written using 3d outliner . I have used golden safety pins (as metal) to embellish butterfly's body.  The card is based on second sketch by ICR.

Hope you like it.

This used to be a ... Tray!!

Tray

Hello all .. Since I saw 'This used be a ...' challenge on lulupu , my thinking cap was on :P
And I came up with this wall decor converted from a tray. I removed the side handles of the tray , made lots of big malaysian flowers and leaves and here is my wall decor adorning our drawing room's wall . Yeah!! it got shifted from dining table to wall :P

Love bear cards

 Hi all , This time I have created few cards very different from my usual style. I had this archies planner book with me which I was not using as such. So I cut the bears from the book and made these cards. Ofcourse some touch of quilling has to be in my cards , so here it is. I have used 3d out liner to write sentiment . 

The Monthy planner from Archies, I used the bears from this. Although I thought twice and thrice  before cutting them as they are so cute.

Hope you like it !!
