Color Life 2 Frame - ICR MARCH BLOG HOP!

Hello,

Its time for another blog hop on ICR...
And with HOLI, The festival of colors being celebrated this month end, we at ICR are letting you hop with the theme being "CELEBRATION OF COLORS"....

Hop along & create a CARD celebrating colors of ur choice & occasion..... but do not forget to add in some sparkle or shine!

Here is what I worked on for the hoppy hop.... Hope u like it :)



If u did & wanna hop to play along with us, then do drop by at ICR....

I have been inspired by a sketch from 
CAS Colors & Sketches... Challenge 164...





The card base is from Fabriano.... in white...
The layer above from Fabriano in green....

To begin with, I printed out the boat on it & heat embossed the outer part of the boat in white...
After which I again heat embossed the inner part of the boat in pink embossing powder...

I then opened the almost dried up bottles of acrylic paint & picked them up with the base of the corn on the cob stick as I wanted it smaller in size... to form the flowers in different colors....
I let it dry for sometime & then smudged the burnt umber from unity stamps & bamboo leaves from memento piling on each other for a while to get that cloudy look on the layer...

I then mixed the acrylic paint with a lil water & brushed out the leaves of a tree besides for that late evening feel when the boat full of beauty is sailing in the dark waters.... I even doodled lightly for the waters arnd.... & simply brushed the bamboo leaves memento ink pad to shadow the boat into the waters....

I loved it that way however my hubby felt it just looked scenic with no stress on to something on the card.... I felt I stressed on the boat but i guess it seemed less & hence to give it an edge I decided to frame the scene... which aptly fell into place with the sentiment in hand then...



Sentiment from my forever loved Stampin' Up inked with Versa Color Grape.... That layer for the sentiment was used up from the scrap stash.... 

I finally completed the project by adding in some self adhesive halved pearls from Itsy Bitsy... 

That is pretty much of my simple project for the celebrations of colors themed blog hop today....

Floral on Card Holder 4 ICRCSPR01!

Hello,

Well its mid march & its time for the second DT Insight to be posted on ICR....

And here is what I made....



Check out the ICRCSPR01 Story Board to inspire you to play along with us...

Was inspired by the colors prompted by 
MFT Color Challenge 41.... 






Recycled a sweet box my hubby was about to throw away & I thot making use of it wud make him understand how useful those boxes are which he trashes out casually without a thought.....

Used up a gift wrap I had since many years...
Used up scraps that were saved from cut out DPs....
{For the flower fussy cut from a piece of DP, Memory Box wreath die used 4 a die cut from scrapped out DP, & used up few flowers from stash}
All glued up well to set the holder right...



Scribbled a line that says "Do Not Pick Flowers Off My Bucket" to finish it off....
That is all about this project... Simple & a keepsake good to store ur cards on your desk....

Do stop by to play with us at ICRCSPR01....

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

ICRSS02 - "MASTANI" TIME!!!

Hey!

Am back & this time it is for a Scrappy Lay Out (LO) created for ICR to go with the revamped scrapbook series for the year 2016... And I have loved the idea of playing with my scraps ever since I was introduced to art of scrapbooking to create something to keep :) 

And scrapping! be it an album of any size or just individual pages to form a book by the end... its all just fun.... And thankfully the new scrapbook series for 2016 rightfully began to help me find my scraps back....

So here goes my first LO for the year long fun....



And my project is for the month of February for the year long fun is ICRSS02!

And this is the story board to it....

I was inspired by the sketch on ICRSS02...
AND picked on the colors & themes from CSI : Case File No.191



Since I was away from home with no supplies & had to desperately create something ASAP... went to the local craft store & picked up few supplies.... Of which DIY Album was one... which got me a page to work on being the BG....

Stamped a FILM REEL with G Studio stamp repetitively to create a cute lil BG to suit my theme....
Layered the pic of my niece with her PVR Popcorn bucket to kinda frame it & adhered it on the stamped BG....
I just wanted it all to go with the theme & hence thought of using popcorn for embellishment....
Made few popcorns with artist paper which was flexi enough to fake them convincingly :D
My mom so loved the way they turned out to be... I was happy with self too.... I cud achieve what I had wanted & with very lil hassles....
Added few sticky notes around as embellishment as well as a title piece to my story....
Stamped another stamp on the lower right end to go with the sketch yet sticking to the theme....
And finished it off with my journaling of the moment....

Definitely the day when my 2 yr old niece was introduced to Mastani & Malhari & Pinga.... 3 of her favorite dance nos. from recent times.... She loves to hear them watch them & sway along with them... She recognizes them from anywhere around.... AS MASTANI PINGA & MALHARI.... :D Those actors have those as their nicks now from Dhee's point of view.... not knowing their original names.... The way the sleeping baby woke up to the tune of "MASTANI DIWANI" & how she still does is always so adorable & helped me frame it for her to keep it as her adorable memory of her lovely childhood....

Love u my baby.... <3 amp="" font="" forever="" now="">



And that is all of my Story as an ICR Story Scrapper for 2016 Scrapbook Challenge Series :D

Hoping to have u peeps joining us in the fun too.... All Year Long......

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

BM-ed to a Preschool Teacher for ICRCSPR01!

Heya.... Happy new month of March in the year 2016!!!

Yea right... leap year & tht one extra day has passed too... :(
Time Flies ... leaving sweet or salty sighs..... Hmmmmmmm!!!

Well with that its time for another cool yet amusing coasteRide at ICR... Yes with the change in the season we invite you all to play with us this spring at ICRCSPR01!

And midst all my limitations.... Yes I mean "ALL".... here is what I cud make...



And here goes the story board for ICRCSPR01....

Play with flowers but this time around ICR says no to CARDS..... Hence stay floral & play anything but CARD.... :D





Covered the Popsicle stick with a washi tape....
Then hot glued a stamped & fussy cut flower colored with the camlin brush pens picked from Sapna Book Store...
On that glued a burlap flower embellishment picked up from Itsy Bitsy...
Between them hot glued another small floral embellishment from Itsy Bitsy ....
And beneath glued another die cut floral embellishment from Itsy Bitsy giving in space between the stick & the die cut flower... so it cud b easily slid between the pages as a bookmark...
Ran a vintage washi tape underneath to form a flag & another one in floral print for another flag stamped with the sentiment THANK YOU....
Completed the project with few adhesive halved pearls picked up from Itsy Bitsy...



Made this for my lil niece who is my only kid so she cud gist it to her preschool teacher by the end of her first year which is march end..... Since she has two teachers I wud make another one once am back home & m sure it shud come out a lil better than this....

Awaiting to go back home to my supplies & a lil wrapping & packing of things in my life along wid a piece if my life too.... just so i cud find my life back a lil as it was once a long long time ago.... :)

Do not forget to play with our upcoming activities on ICR.... Amazing they all are.... (y)
