Thanks

Hello dear bloggers,

This simple card was made with the reverse of a die cut and the birds were punched using black paper that I stamped with Brilliance pearlized ink. The yellow thanks sentiment is a brand called Pebbles. I bought it some years ago in a set and it does go a long way.

I will participate in the following challenges:

100% recycled

Hello dear bloggers,

A few days ago, I had shown you a fully recycled card and here is one more such. 

The kraft cardstock was a carrier bag in its previous life. On the top of the card is a border of a wallpaper sample. I tried to position it in a way that the gold border would be the highlight.

The butterfly has also been die cut from the same wallpaper. A little shadow was created under the butterfly with die cutting a duplicate with recycled white paper. This card could be brighter, I think but it kind of looks subtle and charming in real life.

I will participate in the following challenges with this card:

Sending sunny sunflowers for strength

Hello dear bloggers,

I have noticed one blessing during Covid which is that I am able to blog more often. I was almost considering getting out of blogging and switching to Facebook. However, I realized that blogging is therapeutic as the interaction is more realistic and there is a certain amount of writing involved here which makes it a relaxing experience.

This is indeed a very sunny card... and it is dedicated to all those going through challenging times - races, communities and countries. I wish them sunshine and may they come out of this phase calmer and stronger. May humanity prevail.

The background has been made with a stencil and it has been lying with me for years. I had this yellow window from another card and everything came together after Zeenya, my older one, helped me choose these beautiful sunflowers from my stash. I had bought them from a craft store in the UK in Shropshire. That was in 2013! 

The sentiment is store bought. I quite like the happy vibe of this card.

I will participate in the following challenges with this card:

Thanks

Dear bloggers,

This new blogger will take a while, I think. This card was meant for the AAA challenge as well as the Less is More challenge. To cut a long story short, it is meant for neither now. All mixed up and nowhere to go but I will find some places to go to on Paper Playful. 

My card is a simple one made with my new dies that I got a few months ago from Stamps of Life. Everything is die cut here. The black paper is from packaging material. I had to fit the Thanks on to the black nestie and it did it take time.

I will take part in the following challenges with this card:
