"Distress" ed ........

"Distress"ed

Yes ... right guess there .... I have tried distressing for the first time... Not that I did'nt attempt distressing before but it was only limited for the edges. This the first card which is totally distressed .. and I loved the way it turned out.

When I think of some one I remember the times celebrated together ... ummmmmmmmm like I just go in a flashback ... and this can be depicted more effectively with faded , nostalgic colors ... hence the green and brown ( Plus ... I have just two distressing inks at this moment :) ) The butterfly depicts the happiness associated with those memories ........


 I wanted to make a multipurpose card , something that can be used for more than one occassion. So finally I settled for the " Thinking of you" sentiment which can be suffixed with " on your birthday " or " on your anniversary " and so on......

Happy Crafting,
Meghna

Diwali Cards

Hey Peeps,

Here are some of the sample cards I made for Diwali.

Had to put my extra burden on my thinking cells to make them ... Having a lil one at home I wanted to avoid the glitters ... but Diwali is incomplete with out the glitters and sparks or so I feel....

So I ended up making these ....

Card 1 : Simple card with quilling ............ Too simple for me 



Since most of the Diwali cards have diya's , tried this one with the Diwali star ....
Card # 3 : Simple ..... 
but with the most important Laxmi yantra rangoli on it 



Card # 4 


Card # 5 : This one has a cut envelope so that the diya can come over the envelope too ...


Card # 6


Card # 7

Now a days I craft a lot.... yes ... so loads of more pics to be uploaded...

Happy crafting,
Meghna

A Quick Card

Quick Card...................

I still remember pre delivery when I used to just go through blogs and tried to grasp things about card making... 
Looking at the wonderful handmade cards on screen I used to wonder how can anyone make cards so flawless .. Thanks to my limited knowledge about dies and stamps and everything then....Yet...
 I often tried to make cards... sometimes spending my whole day ( with ofcourse pauses in between :) ) making a card with the limited resources that I had .. ( Read it as Tinted sheets, Pencil , Eraser , scissor, fevicol and some colors ..... ) Slowly I started building my supplies... Today I have a good collection but no TIME....... That's the way of life I guess........

Here's a quick card I made on order... Yes super quick ... and and I am totally in love with the embossing plates ( thank u so much JOVI ) ... I feel it adds life to the card .... I am loving it :)




This is my first attempt with distressing ..... I loved the effect :)


Jovi.......... I loved t he pearls :)....

Few more quick cards in pipeline .......

Happy crafting,
Meghna
