Friend

Hi dearies!This card is inspired by my newest friend Sasya's beautiful cards..though it's not as half as pretty as hers..(I get lost for hours on her blog) ...and I specially love her butterflies...
The sentiment is hand-written in Hindi, it  is spelt 'mitr' and it means 'friend' and I was inspired to do so after I saw this beautiful hand written verse in Hindi on Spardha's lovely canvas.Have a nice day !

Clean n Simple

Hi ! Have been struggling with this card for almost three days now.I wanted to try out the white inkpad I had bought long ago from Hobby Ideas and a set of clear stamps. But I just couldn't get it to look nice..so finally exasperated with my attempts, I just put it together and decided to post it anyway ..but I must admit that I am not quite happy with it..and to make it worse all the glue marks are showing too :-( ..Some days are just bad creativity wise.anyways ...Hope you guys have a great weekend..

Crackle paint and decoupage on waste bottle

I love to recycle!!!So here's another one..on an olive oil bottle .
I used Hobby Ideas crackling medium.Here's how:
1)Apply a coat of blue acrylic color
2)Let it dry completely.
3)Apply a coat of crackling medium on top of the blue and let it dry too.
4)Apply white fevicryl acrylic color  when the medium is toroughly dry.
Then I cut decoupage  images from the vintage moth (freebies) and pasted with modge-podge.If you like decoupage you can visit these lovely  blogs Sandra's blog and Maria's blog .Cheers!

Decoupage on waste bottle

Made this gift jar using a waste bottle (shown above right).Painted using pink and white acrylic colors and tiny decoupage flowers from a decoupage image set bought from Hobby Ideas. Also stamped some flower images on white tissue paper using purple ink and  some of those for decoupage too.

Gift Box with punched flowers

Made this pretty gift box by printing this gift box from canon creative park  on glossy photo paper and added some punched flowers..that's all!

So sweet!

Made this card for hiddentreasureschallenge.blogspot.com -sketch, because I loved the simple sketch and

Amy's challenge on Yvonne's blog.
The papers are freebies .The sentiment is a printout I created in ms-word.The sweets were made from papers from hobby ideas and punches(Oval and flower).Hope you like it!

Quilled Card / Quilled flowers

Burnt Sienna design paper

Hi!!!!
I made this card for pileiton challenge-Do something fun with your paper.So made this Burnt Sienna(no pun intended) by  literally burning paper over a gas stove!
Well actually what I did was, rubbed a halved lime over a background design stamp from Hobby Ideas and stamped it onto A4 white sheet and let it dry for a few minutes.Then I held the paper over the gas stove burner at a distance of 8 inches and let the paper burn a little.The result was this beautiful vintage looking sheet of paper.I got this idea from Jak heath's blog but it was  a long time ago and I don't remember the exact post.The background design paper is a printout of a freebie from her blog too!
I combined a few of the following challenges:
1) Practicalscrappers - Border Punches and decorative edge scissors
2)corrosivechallengesbyjanet -Lot's of flowers
3)cardpatterns -sketch
4)pileitonchallenge - do something fun with paper
