Added 3 pictures of my little one and for journaling and subtitle, used the fabulous stampsets from IBS. Matted pictures on pink pp and distressed the edges. Added on a panel whose edges are punched with MS decoshell punch.

Journaling is done on a pp from Vintage floral paperpad from IBS and is matted on brown pp. Added few flowers, button diecuts, heart diecuts,Raffia bow, pearls, Alpha diecuts, border stickers, doilies, Candi polka dots, MS monarch butterflies and MS stamp and punch butterfly as embellies.

Another Valentine card for today, a shadow box card with a vintage color scheme. This card technique and vintage style is my first time try. Hope you like it.

White, cream, black, brown, light mint green,kraft are the shades i have played with.
Made a shadow box with cream CS and mint green pp whose edges are distressed with momento rich cocoa are added on the outer frame. A square frame is cut from pattern paper which has music notes, is added as inner panel and to it added a heart diecut from same pp, is with stamped florishes and its edges too sponged with rich cocoa.

All the flowers are handmade. Florishes, roses, mum, are diecut from various dies  and distressed and dry embossed to make these. To add bit interest to the CLD tropical flourish, added a single petal flower with stryofoam ball centres. Big roses are made from Gardenia strips and small roses bunch are made from Memory box fancy blossoms and of course, single petal flowers too. Big bloom is from CLD sunflower die. Leaves are from olive branches.

Sentiment too is stamped on music note pp diecut, which i hope goes well with the sentiment saying 🙂
A small CLD butterfly and few pearls, rhinestones are added as final touch.

Hope you all like it…Your comments and visits are much appreciated.

Another pp from same pack is chosen and hearts where diecut from it and to add little interest,stamped decorative lace stamp on it with Black Archival ink and heart pearls are added.

Sentiment is stamped on a banner and mounted using dimensionals.Few heart pearls are added as final touch.

Been in MIA for more than a month and just came to bid farewell to the year 2013 and to welcome 2014 🙂 Though am not into crafting, really enjoying time with my little son as he is in winter vacation now. And of course learning baking. Tried Cakes, Dessert mousse and traditional recipes too 🙂

And to my card now 🙂

A big Thanks to all visitors, bloggers pals who made your visit here and commented. And this card is for you  all dearies.

Card front made with the Spellbinders Timeless rectangle die from a White CS, whose edges are distressed using wildhoney DI. And on it matted with pp from Zephyr which has mild scripts and few ladybugs here and there. Floral spray is made with dual tone Mulberry flowers, roses, cherry flowers and few fillers and cherrylynn olive leaves.

A closer view:

Wishing all readers, blogger pals a very very happy, wonderful and a creative New Year 2014. May all your days ahead be so beautiful!!!

This time its a monochromatic card…and its a WOW card again..Earlier cards you can see here and here.
This card is a combination of dies, border punch and embossing.
Diwali sweets and savories preparation is well started yesterday at my home and just squeezed my time to do this card as a bit relief from my hand ache…Ya crafting is a therapy too 🙂

Thinking of my Sweet granny at this moment as she used to do so many varieties of sweets and savories for Diwali and she used to start 4-5 days before Diwali and inbetween there will be lot of neighbour friends asking for recipes, trial versions of those recipes will be going on at my home…She never complained of handache at all…She was an expert cook 🙂 Really miss u dear ma…

Coming to my card

White CS is embossed using spots embossing folder and on it used a negative of 2nd large Timeless rectangle Spellbinder die as frame. To it added the tessatina border as trellis. White doily is added and mounted this on top of the base white CS whose one end is punched using MS double arches.

A white satin ribbon is pleated and a bow is added on the middle of pleats and its hanging over the edge with the punched border. Frame Venetian panel taken whose edges are embossed using Zing clear EP using heat gun and on to it added the sentiment.

Tropical flourish, mum bloom and few small flowers are added with a butterfly at a corner. Rhinestone, few pearls are as final touch.

Hope you like it.

Wishing all my visitors, readers and fellow blogger pals, a very happy and wonderful Diwali. Have a fantastic festival of lights 🙂
