Thank You Card

Hi friends!

Hope you are all doing well. 

I am busy with the Navaratri till 14th.

Finally final exams of all my students for the last academic year are over. I am relaxing a bit before I begin my summer classes and prepare for next academic year and new students.

Day temperatures are high here. All my family members were down with seasonal fever and recovering. Because of the temperatures, I have to take extra care of my little garden. 

The temperatures drain away your energy. I am only active during early morning and the daily chores through out the day especially cooking is becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Any ways, I was able to steal a little time for myself and my crafts during all this exam season and festival time.

So I will be sharing them with you. My only problem is taking photographs and preparing the list of materials I have used for creating them.

Here is a simple card half made some time back, when I did not have much die cutting resources.  With some finishing touches I finally finished it.

This is a very simple card. 

I have folded an A4 size white card stock into half and used as base. Added a strip of printed paper and then the dies cuts-scalloped circle and circle with the sentiment.

I could not resist adding the little vine pattern. I had to draw a bit with green gel pen on the pattern as it did not stamp out clearly. 

This is the inside of the card. I have used an off-white tick paper. The border has been punched, only in the corner, using small border punch and to highlight the punched design, I have stuck a glitter tape under the punched out border. 

That's all. The envelope for this card is plain white one.

Hope you like this one.

Day 26-30 Day Coloring Challenge

Hi Friends!

How are you?  

The 30 Day Coloring Challenge has ended. I could not post my last entries, though I did finish them. My mother was unwell and I didn't get time to post though my entries.

Now my mom is getting better, so I just have a few minutes to post this:

This was the stamp I used. 

I stamped with black ink onto Ivory White card stock. You can see that the stamping was not perfect. So I corrected it with a black ink micro tipped pen.

I have used pencils for coloring the bigger flower and the leaves.

I used chalks to color the smaller flowers.Since the image looked too disjointed and bare, I added a few leaves and berries with pen and colored with pencils. Then I stamped a tiny butterfly and colored with pencils.

So this is the final image. Do you think this is OK? Do I still need to add some more foliage? What do you say?

I have kept these images to be used later in my crafts.

I still need to master coloring with pencils and chalk. 

Hope you like them.

Day 25-30 day Coloring Challenge

This was my attempt for Day 25

I have used a stamp, a small one with three flowers and leaves. I stamped it with black ink on Ivory White card stock.

I used color pencils for coloring.

Here I stamped it three times. You can in one of the images, since the stamping was not proper, I outlined it with black ink. The outline looks much thicker. That is why, I have not outlined the rest of the images. I used this for practicing.

Then, I stamped again separately four  images. I did not use masking technique. 

After coloring, I thought, I wanted to add on to it, as the images were not looking connected. So I added the leaves, buds, the stalks at the bottom-drew them by hand and made it into a bunch.

Then I colored them, added a ribbon and colored it.

So, this is the final bouquet. What do you think?
