You're my sunshine

Happy Sunday everyone,

I have been on a stamping spree and just making up on crafting time I have lost due to orders.. May has a large number of birthdays especially my blogger mates so am ensuring that I have all the cards ready before I run out of time again...

Today's card is a based on a whimsical idea which popped onto my mind and then I just kept on adding and subtracting elements before I was satisfies with my card... :D

So here it is.. (please beware for it is a very bright card.. :P)

Friends till the end

Hey guys,

It's getting unbearably hot here in Kolkata and the there seems to be no respite from the heat. Plus the work load is getting annoying...I have been working round the clock...

Today I made a triple layer stamping card again using my brand new stamp and ink... Stamping is a new territory for me and while I am getting comfortable using the technique, I still have a long way to go before I master it...

I had made a similar card earlier as a dedication to my friend Tejal, today my card is dedicated to all my friends I have made over the years.. In school, college, through work and of course blogger.. This is to thank each and every one of you who have touched my life in one way or the other...

So here is my card...

I kept changing the position of the card to click under various brightness of the sunlight..

My first try at distressing!

Hey guys,

How is the weekend coming along for you people. I have a messy desk and a truck load of work to get over before I can heave a sigh of relief and take a break.. :(

Yesterday I made a notebook on order for my cousin to gift to her friend... I made an A4 size note book...

The front and back cover are card stock and inside are 150 white printer sheets which I then got spiral binded locally...

This is a very special project as I tried distressing of such a large area for the very first time.. Completely inspired by Tejal and Erum (fantastic crafters the two of them) They possibly do some of the best distressing I have seen so far and am truly trying to learn by observing closely the things they do with that small ink pad cube...

I shall just go and show you the pics...

 

I absolutely love love love the distressed BG I created (talk about boasting.. *wink*)

A close-up of the sentiment.. The pearls were white.. I turned them red by coloring themw ith my BIC markers..
