Grad card

Hello bloggers,

Here is a card I made for my older one's graduation. The tassle was made with red embroidery yarn and I am honest when I say that it took me almost an hour to make. The hat has been stamped and fussy cut and the brad was coloured with a Sharpie since it was baby pink in it's original avataar. 

The hat was coloured with water colour pencils and a water brush. The clear stamp is from Kaiser Kraft and the paper is from my stash while the sentiment was part of the set with the hat. I rolled up a small piece of paper and tied a wee bit of embroidery yarn to make the diploma and used glossy accents on the heart and the flowers.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

All made in an hour

Hello bloggers,

These cards were made in an hour for my older one, Zeenya as she wanted to give them to her teachers before she leaves school as she is Grade 12. I have used a Penny Black wooden stamp.

 I know these cards are very simple yet that is the best I could do with the time I had in hand. 

 I dressed them up with Sakura gel pens. The bird has been coloured with Sakuras over the stamps. Washi tape - some plain and some with shine to finish them up.

I LOVE butterflies

Hello dear bloggers,

I bought this butterfly die cut from the craft store I go to and just loved the ease of making simple and quick cards with it. I brushed Wink of Stella on the butterflies to give them an added interest. The person I made them for likes flat cards so I left them that way. I made as many as 7-8 cards and it was fun because it did not take much time.

The above is a close up to show you how pretty the cards looked with Wink of Stella. 

I will submit these cards for the following challenges:

Big fat cake

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is my card to show you made with a clear stamp (the name eludes me) and coloured with water colour pencils. The pink paper below has been coloured in with a pencil. The sentiment was a bit wonky as the top part of the folder would not align with the bottom. I could have gone slower with the rhine stones but I have so many in this colour that I went all out.

Sending roses with love

Hello dear bloggers,

We were away to Perth and New Delhi for spring and it sure was a welcome change. I made this card before I left with the AlteNew dies that came with a magazine. The textured paper is handmade and is from India. The sentiment is a store bought one.

Hello after so long

Hello dear bloggers,

Thank you for not giving up on me. Just been so busy and had issues with my phone and computer. 

Here is a card that was lying around unfinished since quite a while. The Thank You sentiment is from my stash and the printed paper is from the US and it was given to me by a very sweet lady who lived in our complex.

Happy crafting,

Monica
