Flowery card

..




Spring has sprung...at least in my craft room...lol...my punches...quite a few of them have given up on me or rather their springs have...and that has no connection with this card ...was just trying to speak metaphorically.Okay coming to the card...I dunno why but it seems like it took me a lot of time..Lot of fussy cutting there.Lots of heat embossing too.and a bit of scoring...and yeah paper piecing too...so you get the pic right?

Words of encouragement on Sentimental sundays

This card is for someone who needs to cheer up...I do not know of anybody except me who can use this card.I need all the encouragement possible...coz this place is really depressing and the weather is still grey.This weekend we thought of driving down ....where?.... anywhere which is not Udhampur ...but could not because it was scarily windy and rainy and a day overpowered by thunderstorm.So I sulked and sulked.My husband suggested we go and catch a movie in the only theatre in Udhampur called RAJ THEATRE.It is the filthiest theatre anyone would have ever seen .I have been tempted to grab a couple of seat covers and wash them in my washing machine....anyway thats not the story.Coming to the movie ...(I try and go in the theatre while it is dark and leave it too when it is still dark...that way I try to create an illusion in my mind that the theatre is not filthy) we were in all six people in the theatre and the movie running was Jodi breakers...in less than ten- fifteen minutes we realised that it was a sex comedy( tasteless) and so we were forced to leave the theatre since our daughters accompanied us.
There isn't a single decent joint / restaurant/ take away so we came home and had dal chawaal.
I guess I have convinced you enough that I seriously need encouragement to pull on over here.
hence this card.
The INSIDES.
The craft is my only getaway here and Thanks to Sentimental Sundays(Words of encouragement),PDCC ( colours) and Card patterns( sketch).. Lia stampz( Tic Tac Toe)...Mine is flowers...ribbon and scallops...I managed to survive one more day here.
The sentiment is from ginger's house,the butterfly is a digital one,the flowers are from pie lane and the ribbon is a RAK from Hussena.
Thanks for passing by.

Anniversary card for card patterns

Here's a quick card based on card patterns current sketch.
Quick card because I was too excited to try the new stamps that Jovita sent me.
nothing much to say about the card.
The couple image on the top of the card is heat embossed and then popped up with the help of dimensionals so this one enters the current challenge at the CORROSIVE CHALLENGE blog.
The supplies.
Stamp bought from Jovita
lace from my stash.
Rick rack die from ujjwal's store.
THE INSIDES.
Also I am going to complete two years with all you wonderful people.so to celebrate that I am giving away a prize worth 1000INR.The winner will get to choose her prize from Jovita's store.and what do you have to do ? Nothing absolutely NOTHING.My DH will choose a name from my regular readers and I will let you know as soon as he does that.
This is a token of gratitude to my regular readers who encourage me.
Thanks for passing by.

Round is a shape

Many a times...in fact regularly my folks tell me to do something about my weight...and my father particularly asks me to get in shape....so this is my humble retort...ROUND IS A SHAPE.
Jokes apart...I have never tried shaped cards...well thats a lie...actually I have miserably failed everytime I tried one....but this time I nailed it.If you think otherwise please let me know....but for me and for now I have manged to whip out a fairly decent shaped card.
And since I make it my business to enter every challenge possible...card patterns and sentimental Sundays....pushed me into trying this one...and smart cookie that I am I managed to fit in the colours I have used on this one to suit the current challenge at polly craft monday too.
Have a look.
The mulberry roses are from ujjwal's shop.the pp is from echo Park and the lace is from my stash.the gems on either side of the sentiment are from pie lane and so are the leaves.The chipboard tree is also from Ujjwal's shop.The sentiment stamp is from Jovita's shop.The CS is Fabriano Elle Erre.The glitter gems painstakingly stuck on the scallops are from Pie lane too.Consider this as a token of gratitude; Srinanda for providing us with such high quality stuff in India.
Since I am quite challenged as far as stitching goes(Back in school My skirt rested on my waist with sheer will power when I refused to fix the tear and used innumerable safety pins instead) I patted myself for the stitching on the card.I loved it simply loved it.
Eagerly awaiting your responses.
Hugs!

Beyond Grey

First of all I love the name of this challenge blog called Beyond Grey challenges.I dunno about you but makes me look at the brighter side and also sounds sophisticated so it was natural that I had to make something for their very first challenge.The current challenge is about making something using grey, pink and just a wee bit of black.and so here I am with my creation.
As you all have been subjected to my ramblings and like it is no surprise that I hate this place....I must tell ya all that Crafting helps me relax and unwind and though momentary it takes me to a place which is not Udhampur...and every day for those moments I truly live and I am truly happy.this may look like a grey creation but it is not.I am having a tough day but this made me smile and made me feel good about myself.
The insides .
The sketch is CPS.
The sentiment is from Scrapalicious times.and I love the sentiment.It is so so true.Thank God for small mercies that I am blessed with friends who are just a call away.
And you all lovely people ...Your love and encouraging words makes me create every day.thanks for your love and support.
Hang in there coz I have something else to show you in my second post and also please don't get to leave some love for me at The Pie lane blog.
Thank you for passing by.
Hugs!

One more Kitchen queen invite

Nothing much to say about this card except that I had a lot of fun making it and I love the way it turned out.the border under the green ribbon and the scalloped punch under the main image are golden and they look stunning in real life.unfortunately and owing to my medieval photography skills the pictures aren't that great.The image is from TLC and the layout is inspired by the sketch at Card patterns.

Hi ladies!

I am back.And have not been able to create .This is my first card after about two months.I finished it yesterday but haven't been able to post it due to intermittent net connection.And now on a borrowed connection I found out that the challenge has closed.

Any ways this is my card that  I made for a senior officer.It is his farewell and the theme is Hawaiian.

The sketch is from Card Patterns.

The image has been taken from google.the doily is from my stash which has been inked.the letters are from Echo park and the paper is my latest purchase from Ujjwal and so are the flowers.
