ICRC23 {PAPER QUILTING + DIWALI CREATION!}

Hello All!!!

Almost clinging on to the last few breaths the year 2012 is breathing..... And it makes me nervous to realize we are about to lose yet another year of LOVE, CARE, LOSS, DISTANCE & many many 'such strong EMOTIONS' that the year has BLESSED or LEFT us with....... 

The Year means many such emotions to all of us & I have kinda started developing an abstract feel towards 2012, where it is personifying itself to me.... Main reason may be that I moved home from Bangalore to Ranchi.... FAR from my parents but NEAR to my in Laws.... OMG! It is true.... Tears glazed my eyes as I punched these words...... Aaah! I get it.... 

Okay! Good to go now......

So with November rolling in, we have another "OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE" task with ICRC23..... And all thanks to Bhavana Kesarkar who raked up this idea without which I would have NEVER EVER attempted this bizarre Paper Crafting Method!

Let's see if anyone else dittos me on that.....

So here goes the Challenge Deets for you..... :D





And here is my inspiration for the same.....


I would like to thank Fab Friday for the simple sketch which helped me work my thoughts on this creation......

Quilted DIwali


The Prep :

Choco Brown CS for the base from Fabriano.....

DP for the layer was a RAK from B.... Just rounded the corners on their opposite sides.....

DP in green was picked up from Landmark which I quite loved & finally found a nice way to use a lil of it..... :p

Traced the heart shape on 2 DPs & cut them out diagonally for diamond shapes..... Traced another heart on a CS for the base & glued the required pieces, all down on that base..... After which I ran my Jenome for the first time with the Zig Zag option which turned out quite neat.... And you know neatness makes me happy & proud......

Now that I did it once, DIL MAANGE MORE!!!

Added small rhinestones at all intersections to add the ZING THING to my project.....

Finally punched out the printed sentiment with SU! label punch.....

At the end something I felt amiss... hence doodled the dots for accented corners.....



That is it about my project..... :D

And I would also like to share that ICR is hosting the CELEBRATING CHILDHOOD EVENT 2012, for the kids of ICRians...... It has a lovely theme so very apt for the younger kids who get to proudly flaunt their innocent 'present career choice'..... So go ahead & get your kids to work on that as they celebrate their DAY on NOV 14th as CHILDRENS DAY!!!



There are many other events planned too..... Much to your liking's.... So do keep a watch @ ICR, & play on as to not let them pass..... 

Happy Everything!!!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
