Hello everyone!

A Little Reading is All the Therapy a person needs sometimes.

Today I decided to try out something different. While casually going through my bookshelf, I remembered checking out these cute little mini books at a bookstore a while ago. I instantly decided to incorporate them in today's card as it's something that everyone loves!

I recycled old wedding cards for all of the books and the background as well. The background is made with strips of vintage book paper. I distressed the edges with my vintage photo distress ink and archival jet black in and added a few splatters of white and black colors. The sentiment is from the wrapping paper of a bookstore!

I took the entire day to make this card but I really loved the outcome and it's a perfect greeting for my dad on fathers day as he loves reading!

Even though I'm not a novel fanatic, I really love the covers, especially of the classics!

My favorite miniature is The Alchemist, what about you?

Hello everyone!

Recently, I won the April Technique Challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and was invited as a guest designer for their upcoming challenge.

The challenge is:

Since its an embossing challenge, I was a bit hesitant at the start as I do not own any Christmas stamps nor dies. While going through my stash of old Christmas cards, I found one card which gave me an idea for an instant Christmas card. Along with some Christmas patterned paper from an old pack, I glued down the image to create this fun grid look. I heat embossed the edges of the patterned paper to get a nice gold effect that would match the colors of the image. I love making such instant cards as they are so versatile and at the same time I get to recycle old cards!

You can check out more details of the challenge here!

Hey!

For today's project, I decided to recycle a brown paper bag and use it as my card base. Next, I added pieces of pattern paper and pages from an old notebook to make my background. I followed the second sketch(given below) from Sweet Sketch Wednesday's current challenge. I stamped a bear on a sheet and colored it with my watercolor paints. After assembling the card, I added sequins to finish it.

Hello everyone,

Hope all of you are staying safe! As mentioned in my previous post, I had started a 30-Day Self Quarantine challenge on 29th March however after Day 1, I was feeling very low and unproductive hence I couldn't get myself to craft. I took a few days off to compose myself and now I'm as ready as ever! I promise to be regular starting today! For today's project, I decided to work on the idea of - Home Sweet Home. I had come across these gorgeous house arts/ pictures over the internet and wanted to paint a few of them. After thinking of ways, I decided that why not make bookmarks out of them? I used old wedding cards that I've been hoarding for years for the backgrounds, drew my houses inspired by a few pins from Pinterest and then colored them with my acrylic paints Lastly outlined each bookmark and added a ribbon.

Hey guys! So I'm back with my second post for the day! Today I've made a recycled card from an old wedding invitation card. So here in India, we have weddings on a grand scale and the cards are grand as well. Over the years I've collected so many wedding cards and now its time to use them all. I will be doing a series on them soon. So for this tag, I attached a few pieces of scrap with modelling paste,added color with DI(worm lipstick and abandoned coral),added a few pieces of lace,doily,ribbon, hot glue embellishments and sequins. I stamped the bear from the Scrapberry's my little bear collection that I recently purchased from Crafters Corner. Lastly to finish it off, I added the sentiment LOVE. Here are the closeups.
