My First Vintage Project

I am back again with another project. Its a notepad again.......:). i actually am having fun making them so you guys are gonna see them a lot in the up coming days. And i need to post this soon because its my mom's birthday today so there is a lot to do :).

This project is for the DT assignment at Gingerloft challenges. This week the theme is vintage. The pretty image used is provided by the very generous Tami.

I have never done anything vintage before so its my very first take. I hope it looks vintage :). The image is colored with water color pencils. The flowers used at the top of the tag are from my brand new stash :). Got them in many colors :).

The backing papers, ribbons, pearls, flowers and all the gems are from my stash as well. The butterflies are an internet download. The lavender flower though is totally handmade.

Inside view of my project. decorated according to the same there. Added a butterfly and bow inside too, to make it look fancy.

The closer view of one of backside of the top cover. i have layered it to increase its strength, plus i also love layers :).

A close up of the inside holding the decorated notepad with a pen holder.

A final shot of the completed project to show clearly. No templates used to make this. All measurements are mine :). I hope u can see a pin attached to the bow. Its not clearly showing in the pic though.

Teddy Bear Thank You

Back after really long. Need to leave love on the blogs, will visit you guys soon. The image you see is from my wrapping sheet, really loved this teddy bear. The Background is created with my color pencils. I know its not very professional looking, I need to play with a little more. But this was my first time :). The Pattern paper is from my stash. The flowers are from a  candy i won some time back. The Butterflies are internet downloads colored with my markers.

The scallop is hand drawn and cut. outlined with markers. The ribbon is from my stash. Had to work really hard with putting up all those tiny gems you are seeing. Raising everything without a foam tape was a also a job. The sentiment is computer generated. Hope you guys like it.

If Friends Were Flowers

This had started as a bookmark, but now after its completion its a thin and long card. The Image is from Faith, thank you for giving us such wonderful images to play with. I was a little confused in the beginning that how i will handle this...? but then got confident when i started with it.

A close up to give an idea of the added dimension. The flower leaves are printed twice and then raised with   a two way tape to add dimension like we usually do in decoupage.

Its colored with my color pencils, raised a little to add dimension. The sentiment is also from Designed 2 Delight.

I have Jute under the image. The Patterned paper that you are seeing is actually a graph paper of which i have colored 2 tiny blocks of each bigger square. It sure was a time consuming job but i love the results, hope you like them too. I like square shapes and i wanted to do something which is not a square with a square, i hope i am making sense (like a flower and butterflies with a square pattern paper).

The Butterflies are internet downloads colored with markers and finished of with a pearl from my stash.

Mom You're very special

This card is made for my lovely Mommy for Mother's Day, according to the Color Challenge given by Play Date Cafe. And I love the way it has turned out :).

I dont know where to start from, so I think, I will make it simple. There were three colors provided and I tried to be fair with all three with the usage, though had many thoughts about using lime as background, but I finally did and em happy about it. :)

The flowers, swirls and butterflies are all hand drawn and cut and then later on glittered. I added Rhinestones to make the empty space look complete.

The flowers and the butterflies are outlined with a silver marker to make them stand out. I have added the close ups to give a better look of everything :).

I have embossed everything to give the card a lively look and this was the most difficult part because there was something wrong with my adhesive and it wouldn't hold the flowers nor the butterflies till I applied and dried the first layer of glue and then held on the flower in its place fer a long time after applying the second layer of the adhesive :(.

I hope you guys like it as much as my Mommy liked it. She had her mouth hung open after she saw it. Even my Dad, brother and kid sister loved it. I was so happy that my mission was accomplished.
