Delicately Shabby (and a few DIYs)

Hello my dear blogger friends ! Hope you all are doing great..hope you still read my posts :-(

Today I have a creation to share ..I absolutely jumped to making this card when I got to know the current challenge being hosted by DCAM challenge blog tihs month.Shabby is indeed my first love..I do not know any other style of card making..I don't want to even try! I used a couple of self made embellishments on this one.The first being the crystal flourish..I mad eby tracing a flourish design on an ohp sheet and then went over it with liquid pearls and put a line of crystals and pearls  with adhesive backing to complete the flourish design.Another DIY is the flower-soft like texture along the edge of the card is actually a crochet lace that I shredded with my craft scissors to make the fibers resemble flower -soft.I applied white acrylic paint to the flourish to soften the look of the card.Hope you like the card..your inputs mean a lot.Linking up to

Hi dearies!
How is  the monsoon treating you? I loove the rains! The pitter-patter of raindrops and smell of rain drenched earth makes my heart sing..There is so much freshness..new grass sprouting along highways...fresh leaves growing on trees..Gulmohar trees wearing their flaming red flowers..trees which look even greener with all the summer dust getting washed away..if only the flu could visit us some other season and Indian roads were better.. (sigh).
So here is my entry for crafterscorner challenge this month.which is Thankyou..so I say my thankyou to the rain gods  and echoing the colors of the season in my card.(puple and black with dashes of red).It is my first attempt at a tri-shutter and Martha's scoreboard has made making special folds soooo easy...There isn't much to say about the card..mostly die-cuts and chipboard embellies from hyper-city..the lovely red flower was a free gift from Crafterscorner..hope you like my attempt.

Shabby gift box

Hi dearies! 

 I made this gift box for a cousin..it has a few scraps of PP, an  album and some lace..It is a 6 x 6 cardboard box that I coved with fabric washi tape on the sides and PP from Glitz design.The birds are fussy cut after stamping (Kaisercraft stamp) Added some embellies and it's set! I made a tag with a stamp from the same stamp set. Entering this box for CraftersCorner - Gift's Galore challenge

One set, two cards..

Hi all !
After a long long time! My dear blog has been sooo neglected in the past few months..soo much going on in my life right now..and with a toddler around things as it is aren't very easy..crafting HAS to take a backseat..The cards I created today are made using a single stamp set from Inkadinkado..this is such a pretty stamp set ..so delicate and lovely..I basically made a shabby-chic and another simple and elegant card. For the first card I stamped with mementos and applied some gesso shabbily.I added a tulle flower as the challenge at The shabbytearoom requires a fabric element.The second card is just a lot of stamping and simple elegance..Hope you like my efforts..

Thinking of you

Hi dearies!
There is not a single moment during my crafty time that I don't think of Sasya..my biggest inspiration in card making.Sadly Saya doesn't make cards any more and her blog is gone too..this left me heartbroken.This card is also inspired by one of her cards..I don't have a pic to show you ..but her cards are etched in my memory as I would stare at them for hours when her blog was alive.
Coming to the card the background is stamped in very faint pink with a very delicate stamp, The sentiment and the design around it are all inkadinkado stamps.The PP on which sentiment diecut is fixed is a papermania Lunne DP.The diecut behind the ribbon is memorybox valencia border.
hope you like the card..have a nice day!!
