Finally I am enjoying another weekend :)...So couldn't  wait to create a new card..:P

I chose the theme as "Rain" and mostly I have used hand drawing and painting in this card. Used very minimum embellishments.

-->Cut out the green umbrella from a segment of corrugated paper..:)

-->Used heart shaped stones as big raindrops and pearls to border the cloud..

-->Decorated the umbrella as well. Used umbrella shaped stencil to design the left border.

It just came  out very colorful as I painted some of the  cubes with Pink & green..:) What to do..I just cannot stop using lots of colors..:)

Merry Christmass..:)

Hi friends..It  feels nice to post something after long..:)
This time I have come up with a card with quilled theme..I have also decorated the envelope with quills..:)
With this best wishes card,I wish all my blog's visitors a Merry Christmass & May God bless you all...:)

2.Punched out the black flowers by Itsybitsy craftpunch.

A Paper woven Card..!

While browsing through crafting sites..I came across a nice technique of paper weaving!!
In paper weaving,stripes of papers are passed through one another and the end of the stripes are glued ..:)

I made a simple New baby girl card using the technique...I am loving the flower craft punch as these tiny lovely flowers easily fit into any card I make ..:P

You can get to learn paper weaving by watching the following video:

Today I made a floral card with lots of butterflies!!..

Mini Crafty Steps:

--->>Made a small bouquet by adding streaks & flowers..Added the quills & hearts to decorate it..

--->>With the help of Pink lace,pasted the paper bouquet to the card base

---->>Placed a small blue pattern paper over pink-maroon-brown checkered pattern paper & mounted a cute girly sticker on it.

---->>Decorated the card  with orange & sky-blue glitter flowers as borders & some lovely butterfly stickers..:))
