Flowers

Hi all

These days I am very fond of hand drawn and hand cut shapes. I don't want to depend my creations, my works and ideas on dies and punches, so I tried minimum use of punches n dies in my designs.

This card is also a result of drawing and cutting different different shapes of flowers.



Flowers shapes, leaves and stems are hand cut and hand drawn.
Buttons are from Pie Lane bought from Ujjwal.
Butterflies are punched.
Sentiment is Stamped.

CAS card

Hi all

I am in a mood to create CAS (Clean and Simple) card. This card took one whole day of mine in planning itself. I really enjoyed while making these simple cards. Simple elements on simple cards tell the whole story of your creation.

Here is my creation -



Base is White cardstock.
Heart, flower, Butterfly elements are created from some of my old stamps.
Do you wish to know Pink, Violet and Blue stamp pads are from which Brand.

Hmm, these are not actually stamp pads, these are my Poster colors. Yes these are poster colors. I can handle poster colors so well, so I decided to try it on stamps too. I like to experiment with them. I like the result. You can also try your poster colors and see the results.
Tiny small frames on each stamp is Hand drawn and Hand cut.
Green big frame is gifted. Thank you Yvonne for this lovely gift.
I love You is a dimensional element.

Hi all

I am back with my another creation.

I have been thinking heart shape card for a very long time but hardly get a time to try this. I don’t have even expensive dies so I was a bit nervous to try this too. But suddenly it came to my mind why not I draw some scallop shape heart roughly and try it on some rough paper first. Then I draw scallop shape heart, convert it in to easel card and I was surprised that the card shape comes out so well without using any dies.

Finally I decided to make a final scallop heart easel card.

Now here comes my creation without using any dies -



Card base is hand drawn and hand cut on a Red cardstock.
Couple silhouette image is a cut out from an old invitation card.
Background scene is created by some old stamps and stamp pads are from our own Indian art supplies brand Yes Camel brand. I am a big fan of this brand and mostly buy my art stuff from this brand.
Inside scallop circle shape is again hand drawn and hand cut.
Sentiment is computer generated.
Cupid is again computer generated.

ICRC16 - HOLI HAI

Hi all

Its time for another challenge at ICR

what's the 1st thing that come to our mind when we think of March ?

Something Indie ?

Yess!

HOLI HAI !!!

Now this month Challenge is -

Make a HOLI card in gulal colors- Fuchsia pink , bright green and bright yellow

(Neutrals like black , brown , white , off white are allowed. )

But yes, there is a twist again.....

And the TWIST is USE MISTING !!


Following are the examples of misting options one can use --

1. Use color sprays or mists that are available in the market eg- Glimmer mist, Studio Calico's Mr. Huey or October Afternoon's Sprinklers etc.

2. Make ur own mist with a Spray bottle .

3. Use a straw to blow paint

4. Add fine water droplets to your background of distress inked paper.

5. Or just use a toothbrush and spray some watercolor to get the desired effect.


Here is the challenge pad for you -



and here is my creation based on the challenge -



I have used original Holi colors (Gulal Colors) for Pichkari(Water Sprayer) and background effect. Though the water splash coming out from the Pichkari (Water Sprayer) are print outs taken from computer.
Sentiment is also computer generated.

(Sorry dearies I m not that much good in photography, although I have used the same colors which we set for the challenge but some of the colors appears different. Please ignore this.)
