Summer Sundae - A Quick Whip :)

A quick card whipped from my Craft space :)

Totally different from my usual style using a card sketch..

This time its a color-recipe challenge time at Crafter's corner. Love the colors mentioned in the palette. 

Light Teal and Broad strips used are free digital PPs. Light teal is colored and distressed at edges. Glitter corners are then added and matted with White CS. Damask Pattern PP are cut to 3 broad strips and added to the card . 

A central doily diecut is added at centre and to it a bunch of monarch butterflies are added from shades of color palette mentioned in challenge.Two tiny rhinestones are added to the butterfly body and wings are fluffed up to give little colory effect. A horizontal strip of digi PP is punched with MS deco shell and a white satin ribbon is tied at a side and at another end sentiment is added on a banner near to pink pearls. Two tiny brads from color palette are thus added finally to whip my Summer Sundae ..

Hope you all like it :)

Quilled Dedication to Dear Granny!

Have been in MIA for past 3 weeks and missing many fellow bloggers' updates too :(

My little one has started his KG1 and so he was keeping me very busy...Atlast i could find sometime to do what i wished for past few months....

Yes....Its a Quilled Dedication to "my dearmost" sweet granny who passed away few months back. She was 94 yrs then and her absence, still gives us pain.

"Grandmother"

Her wisdom is an art

     She shares so generously --- 

Her words are golden thread

     That bind our family.

We're covered by a quilt of love ---

     It warms us like no other

God used the hands of one so dear...

     The one we call "Grandmother"

Happened to see these verses in net about Grandmother and felt would be so very apt for my dear granny.

Took print out in a watercolor paper and distressed with spun sugar and fayered burlap distress inks. And added generoulsy pink pearls for the border and white pearls for the flower centres. Tried different quilled flowers to make the arrangement around the verses. Its yet to be framed.

Simple Tags :)

Am now in experimenting the distressing inks, Stamping techniques and using Masks.

Crafters corner Blog gave a lot of inputs regarding the Stamping and of course this post, in particular made me to come out of my comfort zone, and try out my hand in Stamping and Distressing especially..

For the first tag,i distressed the tag with Shabby shutters distress ink. Then Tim holtz flourishes Mini mask is placed on it and distressed again with Tumbled glass. Few flowers are stamped and colored using Spun sugar and Barn door distress inks. Sentiment is added.

For second tag, i made a tag from a embossed card. On de-embossed side, Frayed Burlap, Spun sugar and Tumbled glass are distressed and blended so as to highlight the embossed effect. Medallion stamp is randomly stamped on the tag and Stamped flowers are colored using Barndoor and Tumbled glass and did fuzzy cut and popped up on the Tag using adhesive. Sentiment is added on a banner.

Hope you all like my Stamping and Distressing experiments :)
