WORLD'S BEST!!!!!!

Heya! I indulged myself in a project which kinda got me to incorporate all the challenges I had for today..... So I am happy about that..... I loved the outcome too.... Very uniquely colored..... & a different one in my lot.....

The uniqueness in this project was a new challenge I had to attempt....Stamping fabric & incorporating it in my project..... I loved doing it & wanna try more.... Unfortunately did not have any spare fabric in the colors I was attempting, so used the piece I had..... ;-)

So here it is.....

I Used.......

Kinda violet CS for the base & layered it with a purple plain paper........
Punched chocolate & a green DP from dejaview collection, with my hearts border punch.... [The punch has kindashattered with its strings falling apart, I love it so much that I just use all my strength to hold them together & use it]
Adhered all those panels onto violet CS layers....
Punched flowers with my itsy bitsy flower punch & piled them on to make a nice set of blooms....
Adhered white rhinestones to make the center of the flowers.....
Stamped my floral stamp from hobby ideas on the cotton silk fabric with Fabercastell green.....
Colored the flowers with sketch pens.... The ink kinda bled onto the fabric, yet I liked the look of it..... Like it was a print... I really feel proud to have tried something different....
SO used that stamped fabric as my focal image....
Hand cut a small cute tag & added the hand written sentiment on it... WORLD'S BEST....... :-)

That is it for now..... Will be back soon with something different again.... Thanks to everyone for all the support & encouragement....

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

ALL 4 THE LUSCIOUS CANDY @ MAKE IT CRAFTY!!!

Hey! I am here not to post any of my creations, but to share the big news on 'Make it Crafty'..... As the name goes, it is surely a crafter's delight, to make it all crafty, especially for crafters in India, who can avail them only in their dreams or by shopping abroad... Yummy Treats.... :-)



I feel so sad, that there is not even a single franchise of the popular brands, here in India for us, yearning for all those awesome supplies that would take our interest & talents to the next level.... or not even a store which can make us avail these products..... :-(

I am also supposed to mention which one of the three projects she displayed, I liked the best & why......

I loved all the three, but most was the pop up card, as it is very alive..... All the elements on the card are like 'come alive'!!!! When I saw it the first time, I felt I was a part of them & I could play around with them..... That was the feel..... Ooh! I love the dimensions..... Don't u????



I am really thankful to Zoe, for spreading cheers...around.... That is surely a big smile on my face now & after she delivers it, a happy & content feel in her heart...... God Bless u!!!!!

AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!

Hey! There was this one challenge I was desperate about..... But unfortunately could not complete on time..... Delayed entry for the same because, I did not seem to get it right.... Finally settled for this...... The main drawback is I am not that good at drawing & very bad at coloring..... Hence I had to postpone posting the same till the morning..... So here it is.....

SHAKER .... FRIEND IN-DEED!!!!!

Hey!!!! The project I am here with, was a MUST TRY at the very first sight...... I loved it so much, that it just got me motivated, to at least try a simple one for the beginning..... And after I did.... Oh! I cannot express in words, the way I felt.... My sweet hubby, loved it a lot too..... To tell u the truth.... I kept discussing with him as to what & how do I go about it..... We just thought of all the possibilities..... And at the end, this was what we both settled for..... And I just went ahead with it...... My favorite Kraft & Black...... with this new kinda shaker card, I learnt from Gina K Designs..... She is so adorable..... I am so.... so motivated by her, to try something new, every time.....
