All shades of green and a wee bit of blue

Hello dear bloggers,

Thank you for the comments on my previous post. I still am not able to post comments on your blog posts hence the silence. Ofcourse life is still too hectic and that is another reason for the lack of visits.

Here is a card I put together with feathers (which have been recycled from a head dress that Aleeza wore for her UN Day school celebration). The die cut leaf is a piece of tissue that Aleeza coloured with inks in school. It was the exact size of the leaf - not less or more. The ribbon was not considered to be of much charm by my older one but that is all I had and frankly, I do like how it matches with the polkas in one of the feathers.

Down below is a card that my mum made for me. She is a paisley specialist and draws free hand on all her cards. She has used Sakura gel pens to colour it and it looks really pretty in real life. Mum left last Sunday and we are sure missing her but our coming move is keeping us busy.

I will enter my card in the following challenges:

Enjoy the little things...

Hello sweet bloggers,

For some reason, blogger is not letting me comment on other blogs. I wonder if anyone else is facing that issue as well. This has been happening since a month and over now. 

Life is rather hectic to say the least, however here is a card to show you. The round frame stamp is from Hot off the Press and the sentiment, phew, cannot recall it. It is a wooden stamp though. The butterflies are from my stash and the tiny circular blingy thingies were picked up at the The Range last summer.

I will enter my card in:

Birthday Card

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is a card to show you which has been made primarily with washi tape and fancy gift wrap. The butterflies have been glittered to make it look glam and the sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts.

Wish you a happy Monday,

Hello there!

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is another card to show you today. It is from one of those peel offs that Lynn sent me. Thank you, Lynn. I had to add those pearls to camoflauge some stains and do realize that the pink pearls could have been avoided. Anyway, Aleeza approves of my card so I am happy. Lol.

Down below is a picture of paprikas that we grew in a pot. If you look hard enough you will spot them. All we did was sprinkle paprika seeds and they grew so very easily and so did our spirits. I understand that the picture could be better.

I wish you a happy Thursday,

Monica 

Flourescent card

Hello sweet bloggers,

A bright, happy and fun card to show you today with diecuts! 

A short post today as I have to take Aleeza to the doctor to get her pink eye treated.

Wish you a lovely week ahead,

Monica 

Black and White

Hello bloggers,

Here is a quick card to show you made with a background stamp by Penny Black which was bought . This is frugal crafting for sure but the card looks lovely in real life. Ribbon and a few pearls and it was all done.

There is a lot going on here which I will share in a few days.

Till then, enjoy my card and accept my apologies for not being regular with blogging.

Wish you a very happy weekend,

Monica 

Blue is the colour

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card to show you made from a stencilled image which has been sponged in with TH distressed ink and has been glittered following which I added a little centre on each flower with stickles. I finished it off with glossy accents and it looks really pretty in real life. The bow had to be added to cover a faux pas.

Below is a picture of our Mother's Day lunch celebration at an Indian restuarant. My mum is visiting for a few days...

Wish you a happy day,

Monica
