Handmade Feather

Hi!
   Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Here's a card I made yesterday, the embellishment for which was made from scratch.

Here's another view.

Supplies used:
Digi Images - Paper Smooches
Bling
Poster colours
Scissors 

The image above is of the paper I made with poster colours. It was my first attempt in creating a background for a card but played with it too much in an attempt to produce a marbled effect using a cling wrap and made a mess of it. So I decided to use the best portion to cut out the enlarged digital image of a feather, then created barbs with scissors and folded the shaft. I added some bling as the feather looked too lonely. I liked how the feather turned out and  I hope you like it too.

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.

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.
