FIRST VINTAGE ATTEMPT!!!!

Hola! Back with a quickie..... That was soon after I came across a sketch from BlackLeaf Studios..... I knew I was late but still wanted to attempt one, as it was simple & went well with an idea in mind.....

TREAT HOLDER!!!!!

Hello!!!! Did indulge in a treat holder for a friend...... But I would refill the holder with some other chocos, when I would give it to her..... As of now I just had these around, hence filled the same for a photo session..... ;)

I sought the help of a tutorial on the net, but changed it slightly to reproduce it on a transparent sheet..... I used the OHP sheet..... And it is a very simple & easy one to reproduce as many.... Would look perfect, when crafted with paper......

ON WITH THE DANCE!!!!!

Hello!!!! I had a hard time today.... Sat with a project, but found it quite hard to complete..... However, I am finally done with it now.... Very late..... I sat with it the whole afternoon.....

Why? I'll tell u.... First lemme show u a picture.... :(

Oh Yes! My poor little finger..... The story goes like this..... Once Upon A Time in....... LOL!!!! Okay jokes apart..... I sat to work on this project with great enthu because of the lovely bright colors..... I was so involved that I totally forgot my finger & its placement on my work area..... I happily cut through it..... Wept for quite sometime as I was alone... My hubby was not around :(
I somehow helped myself to the wash basin & let the water flow over my finger with it bleeding heavily..... More than the pain, the sight scared me..... I looked for my first aid box for the band aid..... & was happy to hear my hubby drive through.... Opened the door for him quietly as I did not wanna get him worried as soon as he entered..... After he visited the washroom, I showed him my poor index finger & wept my heart out.... He consoled me & nursed my wound & said since he was here everything would be fine now.... & even thanked God that I would not sit to work on my cards now.... But I was like Oh NO! I have to complete it.... After lunch went back to my work place & sat to start from where I left..... I noticed the cut I made on the CS....... & was shocked to see the part, where, instead of the CS I cut my finger.....

So now u can see, (back to pic above ;) how big was that cut on my index finger...... I missed a centimeter on the paper & cut that on my finger instead..... :o

And here is the final project, for which I had to shed not only my tears but a small bottle of my blood too......... :( Well it isn't a card, but a gift holder......

And I Thank......

A 'NATUR'AL HI!!!!!!!!

Hello All! Thanks a ton for the words of appreciation & motivation on my previous project..... I was perplexed with the color... Yellow! Though it is my favorite color, I kinda find it difficult to balance the colors proportionally, with that kind of Yellow in my palette.... Lighter shade of it is still easy to move on with....... Well! I am glad peeps liked it.... Thanks a ton for all the support.... :)

Here I am back with a jiffy, today..... It took me forty five minutes to complete this card... I liked it at the end..... U say 45 minutes! Well, that is quickie as far as my other projects were concerned so far, after my being back from Ranchi break..... :)

So here it is..... Conveying a Hi! to everyone here, on my behalf..... :)
