MERRY CHRISTMAS - TAG!

Hello...

It's mid December & in a few days, just by the blink of the eyes it would be the end of December with the end of the year 2015 & would rise the brightness of a new year 2016 with rays to new hopes & lights....

Hence, here I am trying to make the best use of my mid December in terms of being able to create something for self & IndianCraftRoom....

It was time for the second set of DT Insight for ICRCPREWIN02 CoasteRide at ICR.... Here is what I was able to cook up for the recipe challenge!



Below is the story board for ICRCPREWIN02....

Was inspired by

Retro Sketches....





Red CS from Fabriano for the Tag Base....
Stamped The Christmas Tree stamp which was a RAK from Banu.... from a brand unknown to me...
with embossing ink...
Heat embossed it with white embossing powder & left the scattered powder to dry up to seem a snow fall....
Used a nestability die for the faux letterpress technique on the tag....

Stampin Up! Snowflake stamp with chalk ink stamped....

Sentiment from stash from a DIY kit....

Golden color Sequins over the trees....

Punched in a hole with crop-a-dile after adhering either sides with circle die cuts... And completed it with attaching an eyelet to twine through for the tag....



I had always loved making gift tags... But it had been years since crafting took a back seat midst all the ill health around.... With ICR getting back, so am I finding myself back again.... And am thankful for this thought of a tag in a jiffy....

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2016

Hello...

The year 2015 is at its end with its last month.... December!
With December everything is fun... frolic.... & love.... We see few memories from the yr pass by either making us sad or making us happy.... However it pushes us further with a new hope... A HOPE of seeing a better year ahead with a better time for all.... :) Amen!

So with December comes our next CoasteRide for the month on ICR..... And it's a fun ride & I can vouch for it.... This new ride has been set by dear designer Shraddha Patel who is a perfectionist herself & I have a special space & respect in my heart for PERFECTIONISTS!!!

Nothing is perfect... Nevertheless... Its the passion that helps one to reach near it..... & anyone into it is someone I adore always.... :)

Saying so.. here is the new story Board....

Yup! It's a Recipe CoasteRide for you with the tag name ICRCPREWIN02...

And here is what I managed to cook with the ingredients provided... Hope you like it....



Inspired by 

ICRCPREWIN02
Retro Sketches....
The Paper Players with their TIC TAC TOE.....



The base is Fabriano CS....
Layered is 210 GSM multi purpose premium card from CAMPAP in white.... 
Cut the windows out with nestabilities circle dies....
I even adhered a strip of DP with Christmas colors b4 I cut the windows out...
Once done I popped it up on the base....
After which I stamped the round & round stamps from Inkadinkadoo... 
to create the lights of the new year celebrations....
I hand wrote the words HAPPY NEW YEAR & heat embossed it with black embossing powder...
And drew the traits to the fire crackers & heat embossed it too with golden embossing powder...
Ran a golden twine arnd the layer held with pop dots beneath....
just added few sequins to complete the card....



I wish to make use of this ride a lil more... But in vain.... At Bangalore with no craft supplies....
Hope to b able to go back sooner with everything back into normal so I can smile & have fun... 

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
