Card For A Friend

Hi Friends!

Here is a card I made entirely using punches. This is also a card I made using just two colours white and red but for the butterflies.

The lace on the outer edge was cut using medium sized border punch. The leaf like cut on the inside was cut using a bigger border punch.

I used A4 size white card stock for the base and also the layer on the top, red card stock for the middle layer.

This was an easy card to make. Moreover my craft resources at that time were very few. So I had to manage with them.

Hope you like it.

Materials Used:

A4 size white card stock
Red Card Stock
Border Punch medium and large size
Butterfly stickers - 3D- self adhesive
Sentiment Stamp
Black Ink
Glue

Pin It

Rangoli Festival 2018-19

Hello!

Friends, the pious month of Dhanurmasam starts from 16th of December. You all know that it culminates in Sankranti or Pongal celebrations.

This whole month we draw beautiful Rangolis in front of our main entrance or in the front yard before the Sun rise to welcome lord Vishnu. It is considered as a form of prayer and thanks giving to Lord Vishnu and Sun God who is also know as Pratyaksha Narayana. After all without their benevolence, all living beings cannot sustain their lives. Sun whose light and heat provide all living beings not only the life sustaining energy but also food for survival.

So as a thanks giving we offer our prayers the whole month through our Rangolis. Isn't our culture unique in celebrating the Nature and its changing seasons?

Last year I couldn't post any rangolis as I was not well. But this year I am better and so will try to post new designs. Please do try them. And if possible send me some pictures.

Alas I cannot draw such huge designs on the floor myself this year too(last year I just could draw anything at all). I will be so happy to see yours as at least through you I can reach The Lord.
