Anyway getting on to the latest challenge

The prize this fortnight is  -

Lifetime Tiny Alphas Cardstock Stickers 6"X12" 2/Sheet

 

And

Prima Introspection Paper Pad 6"X6" 48/Sheets

Hungry enough ????  :D

Here is my take on the challenge 

 Since it was a card we had to make , i decided to go for a new fold !

I have been thinking of doing a Double Z fold card for ages but somehow it never happened !

So when this challenge was thought of ... i said why not ?

 This is how a Double Z fold card looks from above ! 

here is a template i made for the card , you can use this for your z fold card . 

 I have used my new paper pack from Crate paper, which i love !!!

the papers are amazing ! and for a fabric lover like me they definitely are a big YES

 Here is a close look at the flowers , I made them myself.

And this is how the card opens ! 

I really love the way it looks :) 

Hope u like it too ! 

im waiting to see all your lovely makes ! 

Hugs

Love-ly gathered heart card

Hello everyone ! 

Its me Pooja , back with a card i made for the 

Challenge #25 - Oh So LOVE-ly!

Have u checked it out yet ?

This challenge we are making any project based on the theme LOVE 

with an added twist of using pattern papers in your creation.

Here is what i made. 

 

This card was really fun to make and not something i usually do. 

Since valentines day is around the corner i thought i would use some related PP.

 The main focus of the card is this gathered heart . Which is also made with some Scrap piece of PP i had with me. There was an odd comfort in not doing a card with an image stamped and colored in a card which i always do :) This project was all about experiments for me.

The heart in the center is handcut and distressed with lots of glitter on the gathers !

 Since this was an experiment i really dont have a tutorial for you at the moment on how i did the heart. 

I initially wanted to do some methodical folds (which i saw in so many PINS on pintrest) 

but i ended up making gathers .Nonetheless i really love the way my card looks. 

I decided to go with some bold papers from the Crate paper- 14 paper pad 

Love the papers they have ! all very fit for the Valentines day theme.

 I wanted to go easy on the blooms this time :) so i went only with this one . 

Hope u like it.

There is a die cut lace on the hem and my sentiment which i find very apt for the theme. 

Hope you are all ready and geared up to play this 

LOVE-LY challenge with us ! 

Do join the fun. 

 Hugs

 and this yummy pack of brads from american crafts

I have a 3 year old daughter who is very very active and every weekend we make it a point to take her out :) There isn't much to do here in hyderabad in terms of going out, but a couple of malls have very nice children play areas :) The picture i'm using is one of my favourite ones of all three of us from one of these weekend outings :)

Its a mixed media canvas :) loads of layers and embellishments :) I will be sharing a tutorial soon of the background i created :) 

To create it, I layered the canvas with a coat of gesso and then once dry, used my stencils and modelling paste to give the raised effect. once dry, i coated it with gesso once again and then sprayed away with LINDY'S!!! this product is the bestest!!! i absolutely adore it and love love the colours and shimmers they have!!!

some closeups of the canvas :)

Those buttons are a gift from my husband's 90-year old grandmother who had saved them up to give to someone who loved sewing as much as her! (i guess i came closest with my love of crafting!! :)

My botanical odyssey paper pad was best fitting to this and i have used it almost everywhere on the canvas.

Yes i am very much in love with my mod molds!!! :P ive been using them in almost every project. there are so many designs and also i switch between clay and the glue stick depending on where i want to use them :)

Yes, i do love my sweet husband and my darling lil girl :)

Thats all from me for today! :) We hope you play along :) Ill be back with a tute on creating gorgeous backgrounds with Lindys! :)

Thank you for all the appreciation of my work, it inspires me to create more! :) Leave us some love :)
