Hey hi Friends!

Am back with May month CoasteRide Inspiration at ICR .

Such a Beautiful theme and Twist – Pocket Letter Page with Mother’s Day Special as twist.

Basic Researcher in me…Went for a serious search for Pocket Letter infos (PL) and DIYs to make one on my own as i dint own WRMK sleeves or Fuse tool…

JanetteLane is the creator of PLs.Visit the link and you are sure to be amazed by the great details.

I must admit, am hooked after making one PL. So i went ahead and made 3 sleeves and kept ready to fill in and send as RAKs 🙂

Its my ever first try and am way too excited that …its made for Mom and i went ahead to frame and take it to India to gift this to dear Mom 🙂

Storyboard 🙂

This Storyboard is designed by Hostess, Shraddha Patel. Such a wonderful and thoughtful challenge and theme. I enjoyed every bit of making.

I made use of file folder sleeves and went ahead machine sewed and made cute Pockets 🙂

Pattern papers are from Spring liliacs and Vintage florals, my Fave collection of IBS. It has such lovely papers and have been hard time using scissors on them. Been hoarding for 2 years and finally put to good use now 🙂

First row 🙂

Used Itsy Bitsy Glitter Alphas for word MOM and a mulberry flower to adorn the word.
Next pocket, made a pocket and used sponged manilla Tags with words saying “To my mother with love”
For next, framed a lovely verse and adorned with heart pearls, floral ribbon and Prima flower.

 Stamped using Wplus9 sentiment on pockets 1 and 3 and adorned with flowers, ribbon.
My fave pic with Mom&Dad on 2014 June on central pocket 🙂

Lovely Mom verses are taken and framed using flowers and ribbon in 1 and 2 pockets.
Last pocket adorns the Prima sentiment with a large butterfly and a satin ribbon flower.

Few more closeups 🙂

One more PL pic with tags out 🙂

I owned a lovely tiny book named MOM and was hoarding for years…This time took those pages and framed few lovely verses here. I dint heavily embellish here, since its gonna be framed. So i kept all flat for easy framing.

Do play along this lovely challenge and stand for the chance to win a beautiful stampset from a new Indian Stamping Company, Mudra 🙂 And happy to mention this being one of Mudra’s Creative Teamie!!

Hi Crafty Peeps!

April showers brings May flowers!!

This part of the world is experiencing some sweet crazy weather for past couple of weeks and its bringing in such joy!! This gloomy rainy weather made me to brought in same mood in my card too. Hope you like it!

Indian craft room Coaster ride has brought in a new theme with a twist this time and its hosted by Sharada Dilip 🙂

Am completely in love with the theme 🙂

Hostess comes up with a Elemental inspiration and the twist is to make cards only with any 3 elements pick.

Now onto my card 🙂

(My choice of 3 elements are blackboard, a red heart, color palette in shelf)

Took a watercolor card ,quarter inch less than the A2 sized vanilla base card. Stamped Eiffel tower from IBS -Paris love set. Sponged with Momento london fog heavily at top and gradually faded diagonally at the corner.

Stamped the couple with umbrella on a wc paper, colored using Zig clean colour brushes and fussy cut with and mounted on the frontpanel near Eiffel tower using foam adhesives to create a depth to the scene.

Then took a scrap black cs and created a chalk board effect using Colorbox white frost pigment ink by stamping the sentiment on it. A UTEE embossed red heart is popped near the sentiment. And this black cs added to card panel using foam adhesives. Its then matted on A2 sized vanilla colored cs.

Hope you are inspired well to create a card using this time Story board 🙂

Floral Wreath :)

Hi Friends!

Today ICR coaster ride DT inspiration – second dose for the current challenge – Anything goes with Flowers but with a Twist of NO to cards 🙂

This time, my take on Story board is a Floral wreath using 4″ stryofoam ring which i was hoarding for almost 5 yrs 🙂 Oh yeah! Big hoarder here !!

Poked 2 holes in the stryofoam ring and inserted a white organza ribbon, knotted and sealed at the open ends using hot glue gun, and this acts as the hanger.

Then wrapped polka dotted yellow and olive green ribbon around the stryofoam ring using minimal use of hot glue gun.
Made few roses and flowers using Cheerylynn dies, Joycraft dies and Memory box dies. Sponged, Misted, shaped to form the flowers.

Few Cheerylynn ivy florishes are diecut and sponged using Peeled paint DI, Evergreen bough DI. Few MFT fancy florishes in green were used. Yellow Stick pollens are wrapped around the ring and flowers, florsihes, leaves are topped on that using Hot glue gun.

A big Fancy butterfly from IO used for final touch.

Hope you like it!
