And another grad card

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is yet another grad card for Zeenya's bestie's parents to give to her. The stamp is a clear one from KaiserCraft while the hat and sentiment are from a Studio G cling stamp (I think). 

The red  printed paper is a clothing tag from India and the Washi tape is from my stash. The hat has been coloured with water colour pencils and an airbrush and the rhinestone on the hat is from KaiserCraft. I have used a red metallic Uniball gel pen to highlight the feathers of the bird. 

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Another grad card

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is another grad card to show you which I have made for Zeenya's boyfriend. The monkey is a Kaiser Kraft clear stamp and the hat (a Studio G cling stamp, I think) has been stamped, coloured with water pencils and fussy cut. It was finally mounted on the monkey's head and I am afraid it may be a tad big for his head. The black and white strip is a jumbo sized washi tape while the sentiment is part of the set that came with the hat. I went over GRAD many times over with my black Sharpie as there were some bits that were not too well done while stamping.

I will submit this card in the following challenges:

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.

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.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

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

Hello with circles

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is a card that I made in the US over summer last year. I had this washi tape which matched perfectly and so did the papers. I have used Wink of Stella over the smaller circles which don't show in the picture.

Happy crafting,

Monica

A no sentiment card card

Hello bloggers,

Here is a card that I made while the kids were on summer vacation. I have used white packaging material to diecut the roses and the cotton lace is from stash. The dabbing has been done with plastic wrap. 

 I may have posted this card last year but am doing so again to keep my blog active.

Thank you all for your visits. 

Much appreciated,

Monica 

Hello

Hello dear bloggers, 

 Here is a card to show you that was made by my younger one a while ago. The doggie was sent by dear Sandra who does not blog any more and the Washi tape is from my stash. The sentiment has been die cut.

Happy crafting,

Monica 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here with a belated card for Zeenya's birthday

Hello bloggers,

Here is a card I managed to make for Zeenya's belated birthday.  She turned 18. 

Washi tapes and Penny Black stamp done with Brilliance copper ink.

Also made another card today and am valuing how lucky are those who can do things with their hands.

Happy blogging,

Hello and all!

Dear bloggers,

I sure have been away since October. 

I had some health issues which kept me away. 

This is a post to say that I am on my road to recovery and that is a big thing for me.

I will try and post slowly and surely and will certainly try and visit your blogs. 

Wish you happy and crafty time,

Monica 

Hello from the other side

Dear bloggers,

Hope you are well. Here is a quick card which Aleeza and I made in Boston. Aleeza and I have invented our very own plastic dabbing technique. We had oodles of fun making it.

United World Sanctuary is doing well and our last meeting (on silent meditation) was on Wednesday, September 2017. 

Happy crafting,

 Monica
