Butterfly Card

Hello Friends!

Hope you are all doing well. I am posting after a long time. I was down with severe back pain. My mom was also not feeling well because of the summer heat. Final exams are going on for some students.

Now I am a bit OK. But cannot sit for long. That's why I couldn't post.

I thank all you beautiful people who have been supporting me despite me being inactive and not posting on my blog. 

Today I am sharing with a simple and easy to make card. I love butterflies. Who doesn't?

Butterfly Card

The butterflies were punched out using punch. Actually, the butterflies are not cut completely. That is they are attached at the center to the card from which I punched them. Only wings portion can be lifted up a little. I hope you get my point. 

I have punched out tiny butterfly border for the insert. Underneath it I adhered a half inch strip of tangerine card stock with scalloped border (remains from some other  project)

A Bouquet Of Good Wishes

Hello Friends !

Hope you are all doing well. Your are all healthy and safe.

I had to take a break because of severe backache. I just couldn't sit and work on my computer. Now I am ok after taking all the pain killers and rest for long hours. I could barely manage my daily chores.

Today I am sharing a card with a Bouquet of Good Wishes. It is made out of lots of scraps in my stash. 

A Bouquet Of Good Wishes

Base is White Ivory Card Stock A4 size folded in such a way that top fold is half inch shorter than the bottom. I don't know whether there is any special name to such folds. 

I have added the fabric tape to the bottom fold so that it is visible from the top. 

I have used punches for the borders as you can see. 

I love the Sizzix Framelits - Labels, Fancy dies. I keep on reaching for it for stamping sentiments. I have dabbed the edges with blue ink. I have attached it with a foam dot to give it slight dimension. 

Then I added the stickers. Hope you like my work.

Thanks to all you beautiful people who kept on supporting me even when I could not post for the past few days. Thanks a ton for your love and support.

Best Wishes Card

Hello Friends!

Hope you are all doing great and enjoying yourselves.

Here the temperatures are soaring. Though it is spring season, day temperatures are quite high. Today I felt the hot wind which is quite dangerous. It is too early for the hot winds. But this year summer may be quite unbearable.

I am sharing a very simple and easy to make card. 

Best Wishes Card

Base for the card is cream coloured Handmade paper which has brown fibers and slightly rough texture.

Brown is not one of my favourite colours for making cards. May be I can use it in scene cards if required or a little scrap here and there. But as a background, I don't prefer it. I had to use this brown designer paper some where. So  used it here.

The top layer was brown coloured embossed designer paper. 

The scalloped circle was cut using Sizzix Dies. The edges were dabbed with brown pigment ink. The sentiment was stamped with black ink and touched up with brown pen. 

The butterfly was cut with Spellbinders Butterfly corner Die. It has embossed design on the wings. The edges were dabbed with brown ink. I used foam dots to give it a slight dimension.

On the whole, the card looks sober and dull. May be a little bit of colour could have brightened it up. 

What is your opinion? 

Any suggestions as to what else can be added? Please do drop in your suggestions and comments.

Thanks a lot to all you beautiful people sending so much love and for lots of your support.
