Damask Greeting

Hello friends
How are you all doing? Here it was a great weekend with some drizllling(which was supposed to be heavy rain according to weather forecast) God knows from where they anticipate such hopes!!! and lots of fun. I had a great time watching Movie "Dark Knight Rises" and after all this fun had to arrange my cupboard full of craft material(hey this was pending since long back and at last after all of teh scolding I had to execute it)...hehehe...While arranging my cupboard I saw Damask stamp set which I havn't used till now, so thought of giving it a try. I stamped the big damask stamp on a white cardstock and heat embossed it. And believe me it was not up to mark and I thought of trying once more and voillllaaaaaaa second time results were too good. You'll see in the pics. I had used bright pink and blue combination for this card. I know the heat embossed part is not exactly pink:(It has a reddish touch....

Friendship Sentiment from Fiskars. I marked it out with glitter pen and black gel pen to give some dimensions.

The big Damask design heat embossed...You can see some glittering around the edges. I have outlined the design with glitter pen before heat embossing which gave it a nice shining to edges.

Lemme me your opinions about the card as they help me in improving.

Hugs,

Shilpi

Yellow big flower...

Hi frends
Here I am with my new card. To be honest I thought of making this card in other colors and I came out with yellow and blue combination. Anyways its looking beautiful and I loved the way it turned out, specially the yellow big flower. The big flower, the black criss cross and everythng is handmade.
small yellow flowers are punched out. I have added lil glitter to the petals of flower. Over to pics:

Hello friends
I am back as I promised. Here weather is too good. It rained last day and I had chai and pakodas in the drizzling rain with my DH. Romantic na:) I was working on my first exploding box and it took 4-5 days to complete it. It was pending since long bcz I was busy with family functions. At last I was able to finalize it and am happy with the end results. These boxes are nice way to express your feelings with lots of space to add photos and personal messages...all the mush mush writings and love...So here are pics. Sorry for the picture quality as I am trying to learn the photography techniques. So friends get a cuppa of coffee sit back and watch it....Its a picture heavy post.

Its been long time...

Hello friends

Its been long time since I posted anything. But believe me its all schedule to be blamed. I was so busy with family functions, marriages and guest and friends on weekends that I hardly got any time to sit and craft. On top of it my DH got sick and had to attend him full time...He is fine now:) So hopefully I'll be back with some new things soon..Keep watching....

Purple Love

Hello
Hwz everyone!!! Its been too hot and sunny here! So here's my card to bring some cool effect...I have used lots and lots of blingsss...I think I have gone overboard....Is It???
Okies...without much blabbering here are the pics....

I have added faux stitching on the sides to fill in the space and stamped the sentiment. I know that the quality of the photo is bad:( It seems I am too bad at photography.

Hearts are hand drawn and cut. I have added Hobby Ideas stickels and PieLane glitter balls to the hearts to give them a bling. A cute little butterfly from PieLane.

Hope you'll like it. Do leave me some suggestions, I'd love to hear them as they'll help me improve.
