Hi Peeps!!




The view of the card when placed on a horizontal surface is as below



The adorable image is "Cristian Fairies" from SND that i have coloured and adorned with flowers.


The background papers are all handmade and handpainted including the polka dots (hand-cut) which i have turned into flower centers.

And onto the center of the card, i have added the sentiment "Many Thanks"!!

Hope you peeps like my effort :)
And i really really appreciate you taking time to stop by my post and leaving me some love!!

Holaaaaaaaa Peeps!!

Hope you are all doing super fine!!

Today i bring to you, a hand painted card with watercolours!
All my creations in the past have always been hand-made and this is just an extension to it!!

This card is based on a "Holiday Theme" and i have incorporated a "Tropical Destination" back-ground to it with a sentiment - "Fun in the Sun" :))



A closer look of the trees which are done with a black marker



Closer look of the beachy effect as well



I have also incorporated faux stictching onto the card borders.

And since my card completely follows the current challenge at  4 CCC #117 - TROPICAL DESTINATION hosted by 4 Crafty Chicks, i am linking it up for the same :)

Looking forward to hear from you all

Cheers

Hola Peeps!!

ATCs??

I have always been wondering what these are.. Well these Artist Trading Cards.. are such a joy to create!!

Bringing in the intricacy into these small cut-outs, is really a big challenge and hats off to all the ATC creators!!

This is my first attempt on creating an ATC




I have hand-painted  and cut an adorable fairy ( mythical character) and have adorned the back-ground with a very very basic mixed media format!! Well i know.. this is no way matching up to it.. but it has just been an honest first time try on it!

Here's a closer look of the fairy!!



I have added dots (circles), stars and swirls in the background with silver to go with the fantasy world look and i have popped up the fairy for the 3D look as well :))

I have added the sentiment - "You are my Piece of Paradise" to go with the theme, in a leaf like cutout (which is also handpainted and popped up) onto which i have seated the fairy :))


I am happy with my first try and now onto you peeps, to let me know how you found this to be :)

Hi Peeps

Offlate CAS has been my favourite card making style and i am certainly loving it!!
The simplicity and the cuteness in a CAS card, i believe, speaks in length about the creativity, cleverness and the challenge to keep things at minimal!!

Well, i am still a learner to incorporate all the above adjectives though.. LOL :))

So,  my card for today is based on pastel shades based on a CAS Theme.





My card consists of  "Paper Smooches" images including the sentiment (except the bird house that i have hand - drawn and carved into the card).

It is a small love story incorporated in this card.. the cute birdies singing for each other, one inside the house and the other one outside :)).
I have popped up all the images (which i have hand- painted) to give a 3D look and I have flipped few images for this card theme.

The sentiment is painted too and has been hung from the branch (via the pink twine). The border is hand-painted as well!



I really love this card and i hope you all too :))
Do post me your feedback and i shall be more than happy in reading and responding for the same!!
