NEW YEAR CARD

I got an order for New year cards . This is what I came up with. Mass production is fun and quick. The white snowflakes are stamped and the smaller ones are punched. The sentiment is handwritten.
Thanks for looking.








BIRTHDAY WISHES

I started this card without a pre-planned layout.Ideas just kept on coming as I started with it.

What I learnt from it is that you tend to have more fun making a card for which you haven't prepared much.

Thanks for looking.

SIMPLE BIRTHDAY CARD

This was a quick and easy card. I stamped the circles randomly, adhered the shiny pink circles, tied the ribbon and added the sentiment.

I just love this circle stamp. I tend to use it so much.

Have a nice Day!

Flower Power

I love using flowers when I make cards. I feel it is the best way to express a lot. A flower thus has the power to say a lot with the least.

The pink circle is done by the reverse masking technique.

Have a nice Day!

DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT

I have always loved making scrapbook pages manually but I must admit digital layouts are fun to try out too.

If you haven't considered digital scrapbooking as one of your areas, I would recommend you to give it a try atleast once.

Have a nice Day!
