Thinking of you (Catching Flakes)

 

Decorated a notepad for a very nice friend of mine. He has just gone from a very bad phase of chemo sessions for his cancer treatment, But has recovered by the grace of God :). 

This cute Image is from designed 2 Delight by Faith. I am totally in love with this one and goes perfectly   with the winter season :).

Its colored with markers and water color pencils and not to mention that, I had to color this image twice because, I spilled water over it by mistake :(.

Yeah i also added a sentiment and a tag fer it too. Under the pretty patterned paper is the pocket which holds the tag. Also added loads of faux stitching and some glitter. Hope you guys like it.

Birds Of Feather

  

Back after a long time. things were really busy at home plus we had our Holy month of fasting :). And it was really hard doing anything else with it.

well i am back with my DT assignment for Gingerloft :). The cute bird image is provided by Tami of Gingerloft.

The image is colored with water color pencils and markers :). Just used 2 shades of blue in the entire card and i love its outcome. Usually i find it hard to color restrict myself but this one just turned out to be pretty easy. 

All the distressing you see around the card and on the layers is done with a color pencil. hope it looks neat :) because it really took time to do so.

The sentiment is an internet download n colored with color pencils.

The flower is totally handmade and i added glitter to it :). looks much more better in real than the picture.

Red, White N Blue

Hi guys, today em back with another post for Gingerloft Design Team Assignment :). This fortnight we have a color challenge i.e. Red, White n Blue challenge. I am using a gingerloft digi provided by the generous Tami :). 

The image is colored with water color pencils and so is the lite blue background :). I have done faux stitching with a blue pointer.

The blue dotty paper is from hallmark and the blue lines paper is from my stash. Couldnt add much of bling to this card as it is a guy's card so i added little tiny things to make it look complete, like tiny silver sequins on  the tip of shoes and red stick on's to make them look like shoe buttons :).

Also added 3 buttons in the corner. I love layers so i did lots while making this card. all the stars and circles are hand drawn and cut and then i did faux stitching :).

The Sentiment is handwritten too. My printer is still not working :(

Another view to show the elements of the cards clearly.

You Can Do It (Freebie Challenge Gingerloft)

Today i am posting another card that was also made for my DT assignment for the freebie challenge at Gingerloft. Tami provided us with a cute freebies image and sentiment both.

Made a really simple card. Just did the cards with some leaves which were hand drawn and cut. The tiny shiny flowers that u see between the leaves are from my stash and they were really looking nice with the tree so i added them.

               

The image is colored with water color pencils. The grass is also hand drawn. I raised the image a little to add some dimension. In the corner i added a large button and the sentiment is cut with patterned scissors and handwritten. It makes a nice male card.

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.

Hanging By To Say Hi

I have finally reached my Fiftieth Post and i am very happy :). The card today is based on the tag image by Faith of Designed 2 Delight. I have colored it with markers and color pencils. Also have added 2 extra images, the spider web and the spider, though spiders give me creeps. 

The sentiment is computer generated, The black patterned paper is actually a note book cover, which belonged to my kid sis :) but she was generous enough to allow me to use it :).

The red card stock strip is cut with patterned scissors and I have added a ribbon from my stash on top of it. The card has been finished of with a double looped bow and a red button, both of which are from my stash. Both the image tag and sentiment have been raised a little for added dimension.

You Are My Favorite Pumpkin

Today i am sharing a simple and cute card with you, based on the image from Faith, thank you for giving us such a cute image to play with. I have colored the image with my water color pencils. 

The wavy design on two sides of the image is from patterned scissors, the sentiment is computer generated, the buttons and ribbons are from my stash. And when i was taking out my ribbons a horrible and huge spider came and started running here and there, almost had an heart attack :( Spiders really scare me.

A side view to give you an idea of the raised image.

My First Deep and rich Colored Card :)

I think this is my first card with such deep colors, i mean not the usual bright or lively colors. the image is an internet download, colored with my water color pencils. the card based on the color of PDCC. It was some job coloring this medallion, it took me really long getting it done and had to keep the nibs of my pencils sharp, to keep the result neat and clean. My Mom and Sister loved the card, i hope u guys like it too.

I have cut the smudge colored stripes and used them over the leather colored card stock which was originally very glossy and shimmery :). I Pierced the gap between both the stripes and the four sides too. The gave a rough torn out look to the leather colored card stock.

I have used black colored gems over the smudge colored card stock.

The image is raised a little to add some dimension to it. I mite add a sentiment later on. Right now i am not sure.

I have the colored the image according to PDCC color story, the difference in the colors is may be due the snapshot.

Is It This Or Could It Be That

This card is made for a person who really asks a lot of questions and really gets confused if he is unable to get proper and clear answers for his questions :). He is no other that my kid sister's best friend :), so when i saw this image, i immediately got an idea and the finished piece is in front of you. My family members loved this card hope u guys like it too. I am planning to give this to him as a best of luck card for his upcoming exams.

The image is an internet download, probably a coloring page if i remember it correctly. Its colored with coloring pencils. The image is raised a little to add some dimension. 

I have pierced outside the image and the scallop too. The scallop is hand drawn and cut. Have distressed the edges of the scallop, tag and the card, hope its visible in the picture. The ribbons you are seeing in this picture belong to the tag :).

The sentiments are computer generated and stick to the scallop, as i had to make a moving element in my card for entering it in a challenge, i made a raised pocket in the card for the tag, it really looks pretty in real. But the sad part is i misjudged the challenge time and couldn't enter :( . 

The pretty Pattern papers, ribbons and buttons are from my stash.

May Your Days Be Filled With Love

This card is for a wonderful lady I met this year on my vacations. She is the sister of my, sister's best friend. She is an amazing person, all chill, lively, loving and caring. A sweet sister, adorable mother, trustworthy friend and an attentive wife.... not to forget she cooks yummy food :).

Ok now over to the card, the image is from Faith of Designed 2 Delight, Thank you for this wonderful image. I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it. The card is based on the color story from PDCC, God i love their color pallets.

The image is colored with color pencils and markers, raised with two way tape to add some dimension. I had cut out a circular window in the card and then i cut out a round shape from yellow card stock a little bigger than the window, placed the image on it and stuck it from the inner side.

The olive scallop is hand drawn and cut, which explains the untidiness. The pearls and the gem flowers are from my stash.

The sentiment tag is hand drawn and cut, the fancy cutouts in the corner are made from the patterned scissors. The ribbon is also from my stash.

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.

Purr-Fect Cat Woman

The tag that I'm sharing with you is for my best friend. She loves cats and has loads of cats in her house :) wanna guess 21 to b exact :P........ surprised....!!!!!! dont be ...... thats how she is, sweet, loving and caring. Oh...! i forgot to mention her name :) lolxx. You guys know her by the name of E.T of Vibgyor Krafts.

The image is by Faith of D2D and this image reminded me to make something for my best friend, who is a little cranky with me these days :). Dont worry its nothing serious, just a friendly catty attitude :P lolxx. So i made this tag to tell her that huney i love you loads and plz dont get angry. I am also playing your challenge with this tag :P. 

The image is colored with markers and color pencils. Its embossed a little to add dimension to it. The ribbon and button flower is handmade by me, it was quite a job to glue it together :). The sentiment is handwritten. I have pierced all around the tag and then i used the nib of my marker to add a little color inside the holes. I have also outlined the tag with a black marker. Added jute underneath the image and an adhesive diamante for the locket of the cat.


P.S: when i was adding links to different blog challenges, my browser just closed and it didn't saved links or names of the challenges i entered into, so please when you come to comment mention your blog or a link to it and i will add it to my post. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Home Sweet Home

Hi guys, couldnt get a very clear picture of it, because my hand was a little shaky :), will try to take some more shots and add them later in the day. 

Had to make wall hanging for a friend who is shifting into her new house soon, and she loves my crafts so I am planing to give it to her with a house welcoming gift. I based it on the color story from Play Date Cafe.

The image is a freebie from Beccy and you can find it here. She has given a colored version too which is really pretty. You will also find other freebies to so do give a look.

I colored it with my water color pencils and markers and embossed it to add a little dimension. The scallop is hand drawn and cut, the to make an even scallop is that you cute a circle and the trace half of its circumference to make the scallop :). I painted it Brown, added pearls on it.

All the tress and flowers you see are embossed stickers and the sentiment is an internet download. I have outlined the upper half with blue water color pencil and then added water to give it this look.

Sweet Treats

This card is made for the Designed 2 Delight challenge. The image is by Faith :), thank you for giving us wonderful images to play with. The decorative paper or warping sheet is from my stash and so are the buttons.

i have paper pierced the fancy shape on which the image is mounted. One of the sentiments is an internet download where as the other one is computer generated.


I haven't done anything extra ordinary in this card. The reason being is that i have recently returned from vacations, plus our Holy Month of Ramadan has started, in which we fast from dawn to dusk so its pretty hard to do so much with fasting:).

I hope that i will be back in spirits soon. Mean while i had to tell you guys that i won a candy..... oki oki i know that i am blabbing about it again and again :). I won two challenges too, so i am very happy :).


Take care guys, see you soon with something really good.

Just For You (Shaped Card)

Today i am posting a shaped card. The image is an internet download, colored with my water color pencils and i love the results, but you can tell better as you guys are better judges. I wanted to do this image with different colors but then i saw Play Date Cafe's color story and the result is in front of you. And not to forget i got its instructions from Annette and you can view them here 

It really took a long time to make this card, but i enjoyed the entire experience as it was different. The flowers are handmade and the ribbon and embellishments are from my stash. The sentiment is an Internet download as well, I embossed it and added a heart on top of it.

The leaves and the curled pieces are also hand drawn and cut. I ran my ribbon above the image and glued it on the top of my button :).

A close up to give a better idea of the image shades :). The image is also embossed to add a little dimension. I just loved embossed things :).
