Tulasi Vivah Rangolis

Hello Friends!

Hope you are all doing well.

Winter has started with a bang here. Temperatures have dropped considerably. Sometimes its raining too. We have completed our vaccination. But somehow after all that I am feeling too weak and lethargic. 

In this month of Kartika we are busy fasting, celebrating so many festivals and offering special prayers and puja. Today is Tulasi Vivah.

This is the sacred Tulasi or Holy Basil plant.

So I am posting Rangolis for the occasion:

This Is Rangoli -412 . You can have all the details from the post.

   

These two Rangolis are from Rangoli 139. Please check the post for details. You can also read about the rituals and the details of the Tulsi Vivah.

Hope you like them.

Thank You Card

I think I have made many cards using this particular MB dies. 

I love flowers. May be it is one of the reasons. May be when you buy something new, you have to play with it. May be I have very few dies and so I use it again and again. 

I think I have some more cards and bookmarks made using these dies.

Thank You Card

I have used A4 size card stock folded into half as base. 

The colour of the base card and the layers is as in the first image. In the second image, exact colours were not captured properly. Even the colour of insert is cream colour same as that of the layers on the front of the card.

Just For You Card

Hello Friends !

Hope you all had a Happy Varalakshmi Puja. I was busy because of that and now that the festival is over I am tired. But I want to share this card with you today.

Small is beautiful. That's what I thought after I looked at the finished card which I am going to share with you today.

Today I am posting again a small sized card. It is overlapping Gate Fold.

Card Size is 14.5 cms height X 12.8cms(after folding) width and 14.5 cms X 29cms (before folding).

First I stamped the bird image on to a white scrap and colored it. Then cut it using SB Radiant rectangles Dies. Then I cut the other oval die and then stamped the sentiment.

I have coloured the stamped image using colour pencils.

First I cut the borders on the edges and then scored and folded the card.

I was a little bit confused when cutting these borders to get them facing each other. Then I figured it out. Sometimes even simple things don't strike us.

This is how the borders look.

Then I added the die cuts to the card on either side.

Then I punched out a pink paper (square) using border punch and added as insert. 

This is the envelope. I used a different border punch on the envelope. I did not relaise that as I made a bunch of envelopes separately and did not check the design on the insert. I should be careful in future. 

Anyways here it is the card with the envelope. 

Hope you like my card. Do drop in your comments and suggestions.

Have a joyful weekend.
