Heart with Joy

Hi Friends!
    Happy 4th of July to my friends in USA! Finally I made it here to post a card I'd made a month ago. Literally how time flies!! Schools are off for summer and I'm on vacation, but it's no vacation at all as housework never ends. Anyway, I made it here today with a card for Friends With Flair at Unity Stamp Company.

Supplies Used:

Stamp - Heart with Joy-Unity Stamp Company

Sentiment - Happy Birthday-SRM Sticker  

Crayola colour pencils

Watercolours

The white card background was spray painted with watercolours using a toothbrush & ruler in the same four colours as in the stamped image, while the heart shaped rubber stamp protected the image.  

I'm also entering this card into challenges at:

Fashion Girl Tag

Hello Friends!
    I hope you all are doing fine and enjoying the summer unlike me as the maximum temperature is around 40degC (104degF) It's awful! However, I'm happy my DD is home for summer after her Freshman year. As some of her friends haven't returned yet, whenever she feels bored she offers to do some colouring for me. So I quickly stamped a couple of images for her to colour. Here's one of her favorites which was actually meant for a card, but as I needed a tag to go along with a gift bag, I layered it on card stock to match a holographic bag. 

Supplies Used:

Image - Roxanne Fashionista-Unity Stamp Company

Sentiment - (Happy Birthday) Basket Blessings-Gina K

                     (Sweet) rub on

                     (16) Alphadotz-Scrapworks

Crayola Colour Pencils

Stitched Cross

Hi!
   A Happy Sunday to you all. So soon another week has gone by. Here's an Easter card I made for a dear friend in San Francisco with who my daughter spent her entire winter break.

Supplies used:

Scrap of plastic mesh 

Silk thread

Stamps - Sentiment- Basket Blessings-Gina K

                 Grass & rocks- Just Breathe-Firecracker Designs

tiny tulip punch

crayola colour pencils

    The cross was cut into shape from a scrap of plastic mesh which we used on our windows to prevent insects. The star stitch was used to sew it just to add some interest. Here's a pic. to demonstrate how it's done. 

If you consider the points the needle has to be passed through, as the hours on a clock, the needle has to go from 6 to 12 hrs and a knot tied behind. Next the needle goes from 1 to 7, 2 to 8 and so on in a clockwise direction. It can also be done anti clockwise, but the uniformity has to be maintained in all the diamonds. However in this case it's like a 20 hour clock as the needle has to go through 10 times not 6 as in a normal clock.                      

As the cross looked very lonely, I added some stamped rocks, grass, punched tulips and clouds. Kindly click on the image for a larger view.

Happy Birthday Simon!

Hi!
   Hope all of you are well wherever you are and welcoming the spring. We are already experiencing the summer heat which is tolerable so far. Today I have two Birthday cards to share which I'd made a couple of months ago. The images were coloured by my daughter perhaps two years ago. I fussy cut the images, made the cards and sent her so she could use them to send or give her friends at university.  There is a challenge birthday at Simon Says blog so I thought I'd link them up there.  
CARD 1:

Supplies used:

Sliekje's Digital image

Stamps-Sentiment - mixed messages-Ditto

                grass& birds-Just Breathe-Firecracker Designs

Crayola colour pencils

The clouds were made with a self made card stencil, whose edges were coloured and spread outwards with the finger.

CARD 2:

 

Supplies used: 

Stamps - sentiment &candles Birthday Brackets- Stampendous
                  background- Live Life Loud-GinaK
Crayola colour pencils

Flowering Cross

Hi!
    A happy Sunday to you all. Time is flying by so fast that I didn't realize it's been weeks since my last blog post. The change in weather is stirring up all sorts of viral infections and our family took turns with a nasty dry cough. We are all much better now. Thanks to all of you for your visits and lovely comments. I also feel happy to mention that THIS card made it to the 'Top 3' while THIS and THESE 3 cards were featured by Crackerbox Palace on Facebook. I also won some craft goodies, while a generous blog friend sent me some as RAK. To top it all, my daughter will be coming from the USA after her first semester for her long summer break and she will be bringing all these goodies along with her. That's a lot of good news right?
     Now here's a card I'd like to share today. I made it for the OBDB anniversary challenge and hope to make another one after this if time permits.  

Supplies Used:

Stamps - Flowering Cross-ODBD

               Sentiment-Crackerbox Palace

Die cut frames sent as RAK

Ribbon from my stash

Bling
