ICRSC - WATERFALL FOLIO (April 2016 Swop)

Hello,

ICR saw its first swop happen after all these years of being paused... In the captaincy of Gopi Shah, ICR Swop Circle (ICRSC) is up & running with its April 2016 swop... Season 2 is one of its kind....

Subjecting to Projects it got us participants try something which we wud not have had otherwise in d near future.... WATERFALL FOLIO!!!

Here is what I made for the swop....





Chipboard from Itsy Bitsy...
DPs were a rack from Banu from way past.... when i had just started.... & am thankfully using them till date... :D
Doily from stash... halved... 
Stamped it with a round & round inkadinkadoo stamp with black versa color...
Brad from stash for an easy locking system... to be hooked by a tag from stash being upcycled here... 
Beneath is a small chip board tag which was a part of a hmmmm... I guess Wrangler Jeans purchased by hubby.... {I love when I use up what I have accumulated from around... }<3 :="" me="" span="">
Die cut the base for sentiment....
Sentiment printed out on to the Die Cut CS.... {The words being just my thought.... Again SO IN LOVE WID SELF}<3 :="" me="" span="">
Used a piece of chipboard to score & crease for an additional tag adhered to the cover of the folio... 
Stamped it with I guess tim holtz stamps... & to hold it down used an animal paper clip of that of a rabbit..... 
Inserted the eyelet & twined in a burlap twine with few hangings from stash... A charm picked from Itsy Bitsy along with a can pull up I ripped off a fanta can.... {Upcycling is so much fun at peace.... Love to ME}<3 :="" b="" me="">





For the inside used up the DPs from RAK....
& CS in white from Fabriano...
And for the Tags.... AGAIN UPCYCLED few garment tags I piled up to stash out.... {So love it when I use up my waste stash}<3 me:="" span="">
That includes few thin CS tags & A cloth tag too which has Lee or Wrangler printed on it... However I labeled a burlap tag on it to cover it smoothly.... {So in Love With ME}<3 :="" br="" ing="" me="">
AND it has the base of a pack of flowers from Prima Rose which I had stashed out & finally got a perfect chance to use it up... I so loved the base with its grungy frames & designed edges..... {OF COURSE Love To Me}<3 :d="" me:="" span="">

Yup I definitely LOVE MYSELF when I appreciate self with my mind acting smart creatively.... :P

And FINALLY as the swop progressed towards its end.... With participants sending out their heartily skilled projects to their respective partners.... And I received mine from My dear Teammate.... Sharada Dilip Acharya.... I textly call her as "SDA" to avoid confusions & save time.... ;)



Isn't that beautiful.... I was so worried 'cuz swops see U receiving some really sad projects in return to your all loved & hard worked craft Projects..... But this was a relief of a fearful sulk I was anticipating.... :P

 

I so loved the beautiful tags.... M gonna use it up for my niece... My only kid for life... <3 span="">



AND not to forget she even sent me few pieces of lovely beautiful adorable DPs.... Its always a pleasure to receive something you do not have..... :) Am just thankful for this kind gesture Sharada.... Loads of Love & (((Hugs)))

OMG! That was a post full of pictures.... :P NEXT POST IS GONNA turn u bonkers with "N" number of images on board.... So keep a watch!

So that ended up to be a brilliant first swop on ICRSC Season 2.... Second Swop for May 2016 is announced & today is the last date for registration.... If u have not registered & the theme interests YOU in particular... YOU MUST HURRY!!!!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

WAY 2 GO GIRL with ICRCSPR02!

Hello,

It's April & the world around seems so playful... Yet another time to play with all things that matter to you & passion the most... Saying so, Here is what ICR is playing with this month... A fresh & a new playful theme so interesting & addictive 'cuz of its various elements at your disposal to play with...

This is what I played with Color Palette... Cot & Mattress... Black for night & the window & the girl... :)

 

And here is the inspiration I picked up my cues from & where you would all be picking up some from too.... (y)

And I was inspired by the Sketch on Sketch Saturday #405....
& of course the rest from ICRCSPR02.....

 

 

The base on which I have played my elements is a light pink CS from Stampin' Up!
It's very diffi to print out on a smaller piece of CS by running it on d printer for a print... Hence I 
adhered it to the printer paper & printed out the image or the sentiment & exactly on the place I needed them to be on...  There is a slight smudge of ink around, but thts fine I guess... Its not exactly highlighted though it bothers me... May b in days to come I wud figure out something to do with that too...

After I printed out the digi image from The Stamping Boutique, I wanted to play with on this project... I printed out the same on various small pieces of Design Papers from stash too... I wanted to use up my scraps for paper piecing the image...
I then fussy cut them all into shapes i wanted them in & adhered it on to the printed image on the BG... & there comes my image up to life... Paper Piecing makes it a 3 dimensional image...
For the baby's skirt I printed out the image on a vellum sheet & heat embossed it with white embossing powder & then fussy cut....
Added a bling on to the printed head band of the baby...
I even printed the sentiment a digi from .... {WILL FIND OUT & FEED IN SOMETIME...} & ran my black marker in between the lines to make it seem like a blind for the window...
I dry embossed the white CS for the window wall to be dressed up... & the black CS with floral embossing folder for the night look outside the window....
I even dry embossed the darker shade of pink CS for the floor covering to seem as a carpet covered area...
Way To Go sentiment was a stamp from Close To My Heart....



That is all about this project made for ICRCSPR02... Its very interesting & lets one pick her choice of cues very smartly.... Do play along... & have fun!!!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
