Bhagwat Invites

Hello,

I know I have been MIA for over a month now.. I have been breaking my back over an order and took a tumble the next I finished it.. yea I know.. I am clumsy and falling is apparently my birthright.. But.. Good news.. No plaster... Woo Hoo...!!

So I had a 250 invite order for the Shrimadbhagwat katha happening at a relative's place... What is this katha (sermon) all about.. It basically talks about all the avatar's of Vishnu (the creator in Hindu Mythology) and is a huge celebration.. It's like a mini Indian wedding.. A lot of prep goes into doing it...

Now the relatives wanted something different from the usual printed stuff and what better way to go different than going handmade... So I made a deconstructed 6-fold card... I have changed a few elements of it... :D

SO here goes...!!

   The card lying flat

                                                                             Inside view-1

I had a lot of fun making these because this was the first time I was making traditional... Every element on this card symbolises Vishnu... :-)...

Supplies:-
All card stock=> Locally purchased
Photograph printed
Woodware USA Indian Dreams stamp set for the peacock feather 
Adhseive bling used in Indian wedding invites procured locally
Floral Ovals Die from Jovi's store...
Embossing folders from Cuttlebug courtesy Tejal..


Thanks for dropping by... Have a fantastic weekend... Comments appreciated...


Hugs,
Khush

WOW Khush love how the oval frame looks on your creation. The ethnic feel is mindblowing. I think we are so inspired by the angresi stuff in blogland that we dont do ethnic much but you have done a wonderful wonderful job...love it to bits!Though dear Tilda and magnolia do look cute to some extent our own Krishna looks breathtakingly beautiful !!
