Popping by to say Hi !!

Hi everyone ...how you all are doing ?? Hope all are safe and healthy during this pandemic !!
Today I am sharing a fun interactive card(Pull - Tab card) which is very simple but I love the way it turned out becoz only few cards came out what I imagined of ...lol ☺
So without further ado ..lets see the card ...
I tried No-line water-coloring with Zig markers also to practice it :)

Actually I was following MFT Sketch challenge from past few months and finally get the chance to try one recent sketch ...!! Also combined the theme from AAA Cards !!
Don't laugh guys but I love watching cartoon shows more over any drama series and I took my inspiration from the Max & Ruby Cartoon Show n here i featured Naughty Max in this card !! 

This is sketch which i followed as my guide - 

                   

Here comes the surprise ...the fun interactive part of this card ...it works when we pull the sentiment banner upwards and one more bunny comes out with a new saying "HI" in the below portion !!

One more closeup to the cute bunny ...☺✌   

I shot a short video also showing its interactive part -

You Can Find The Way To The Moon 😀

Hi everyone ....How you all are doing ?? I have been MIA since long but this International Women's Day hop really tempted me a lot to create something & to participate !! Though this doesn't came out as i thought of and i am finding it lil immature according to the theme & i would definitely love to hear did you also feel the same about this card ?

So..here is my card - 

For this card I firstly White Heat Embossed the Moon & The Girl with the Wings and then created the Night Sky, Ocean & Sand Beach with Lots of Distress inking & Finally created the sentiment using Harolds ABC Stamp from Lawn Fawn. Added some shimmer to the wings, heart & sand with the wink of stella shimmer pen & added some Star Sequins for more interest !!

I Hope you all like it ...pls share your views n suggestions for improvement as i am restarting my crafting journey ...Hugs !!

Welcome Baby Girl Card !!

Hi Gals ...I am back again with a quick card ...nothing fancy !!

Actually I love to play along the challenges and The Twisted Challenge attracts me a lot n I couldn't resist myself to participate . In this way I can  get back my lost crafting mojo also .

This card which i made for a dear friend who recently blessed with a baby girl and i hope she like it :)

The Theme was -  TTC#3: Go Bold + Replace Me !!

I interpreted the letter 'R' in the word 'GIRL' with a sweet girl cabochon n i hope u all can relate the same as well .

There is no logic behind the design so please excuse my bad imaginations . I just think of pink for the baby girl n thats the only base where the whole design starts from.....lol...sometimes i am so illogical that u cant even guess my limits of foolishness ...haha. jokes apart n Please enjoy the card. --

A Card Inspired By Indian Rangoli....!!

Hi...Today i am sharing a card which took almost 14 Hrs in total 4 days....yes this time i am up with a quilled card which i made for Indira Tanwar's Mega Celebration Challenge#2, where the challenge is to make a card, preferably a New Year greeting, using Indian motifs in some or the other form, like, a Mehendi design, Rangoli, Mandala, etc....and is inspired by Our very traditional Indian Rangoli Pattern...and the technique(Paper Curling technique) i used is inspired by a very talented crafter and a master of this art...yes she is none other than Gunjan Alyawadi...she has done amazing work n creations using this technique and with all her permission i tried it...i know its not as perfect as hers but this is my very first attempt and i must say that i thoroughly enjoyed making this.

The Rangoli pattern is hand drew...and the sentiment is also hand written..:) Colors are also very Indian keeping in mind the theme...added foam tape and transparency to keep it safe while shipping as we have to post it to the participant next to us...!!

Followed the Retro sketch (with a little twist) - 

Here it is -

Some closer views....

Hope u all enjoyed it...If u want to ask any thing then feel free and drop a msg in comment box...Thanks for stopping By and leaving some love to me...!!
