Card - With Love

Hi Friends!

It has been raining here again for the past 2-3 days. Today it  is raining heavily. Damp and wet and can't go out. 

Here is a card I am sharing with you today. 

I have used punches for butterflies as well as the border for the sentiment. I have used the punched butterflies as well the negative space after punching out the butterflies for this card.



You can see that I have adhered flat back pearls to the butterflies. I dabbed the edges of the scrap (on which I printed the sentiment), with Artistry Ink-Blushing Rose to match the card. 


I have punched the borders of the inner insert ( baby pink color) to match the card. Hope you like it.


Materials used:

  • Textured card stock light pink A4 size
  • Baby pink card stock
  • 6x6 craft papers-capsule collection from JAGS
  • Butterfly punch 
  • Flat back self adhesive pearls
  • Border punch
  • Sentiment stamp
  • Black pigment ink
  • Artistry Ink-Blushing Rose 
  • Dimensional foam dots and glue

Summer Blooms

Hi Friends.

We had a few showers and some rainfall during last month. For the past two-three weeks, it is quite hot and sultry. Though we have some clouds blocking the Sun frequently, it is still very hot and no rainfall.

At the onset of the Monsoons, I decided to start overhauling my garden. In fact I had bought some new plants too. 

My first priority was to remove all broken and damaged planters and repot all those plants and and also those plants which have outgrown their containers.

Last week I just started on it as it was very cloudy and cool. I could do repot a dozen or so plants. But after that the Sun is out and temperatures are like that in summer.

Well here is a small glimpse of the blooms during past few days in my garden.


This is the single petaled Jasmine still flowering as the temperatures are hot and apt for it. Their fragrance is unforgettable.


This the double Jasmine flowers. Still in bloom.


This is the mini Hibiscus. The flowers are small but blooms profusely through out the year if proper care is taken of the plant. My plant is still very small and needs nurturing. 

I will post further updates in the coming posts. That is all for now...
