Sew Lovely

Hello Friends,
I've missed my paper crafting & my blogging friends. It's been quite sometime now since I made any projects & uploaded them here. Well I made a quick B'day Card for a special Girl I know. I don't wanna disclose her name here cuz I know she keeps lurking around in here. Well I made it in just a couple of minutes. It's one of those projects which U have to complete in a little bit of time with limited supplies. Well a (non-crafter)Friend & her baby were over & when she entered my craft room she was in awe. She loved my projects & challenged me to work with just limited supplies that she picked out for me to make a card with. She left the decision on me to choose the colors. So I chose to work with the colors of The Play Date Cafe Challenge Colors which are Grey, Yellow & Pink. I got the idea about half background stamping from her baby's cute Tee that she was wearing. 

I will be entering this card in a challenge here & here. 

The products used here:

Hero Arts Stamp - Old Letter Writing Block for the background script.
Lawn Fawn Stamp (Sew Lovely) for the Dress Form & Sentiment.

Inks -  Distress Ink - Mustard Seeds
Stazon - Jet Black Ink
Ceramic Flower - is from my stash.
Card Stock - Fabriano (Elle Erre)
Water Color Paper for the stamped image.
I stamped the image directly on the white card stock with my black ink.
I cut the dress form twice and pop-dotted it with my foam dots for the extra dimension.
I stamped the sentiment very lightly with the Mustard Yellow Ink. Then penned dots over it with my Signo Black Gel Pen & Then Stamped once again with Black ink slightly off , (for the shadowed effect)

Hope she likes it......

Hugs,
Riti

Happy Diwali !!

Hello Friends,
Wishing You ALL A Very Happy Diwali. May this Festival Of  Lights bring in your lives Light, Prosperity & Success. Now for those friends who do not know about Diwali. Here's a little info:

Diwali, the festival of lights, is one of the important  festival celebrated in India. It is a celebration of lights, and for many, it is truly a sensory experience; some families decorate their houses with all sorts of lights and open up to the friends, relatives & neighbors, sharing their love and their food.

Those celebrating Diwali spend time with family and friends. They perform religious ceremonies to bring in wealth and prosperity for a new year, cook and eat delicious food, design rangolis or alpanas (ladies & girls draw traditional designs at their doorstep using powdered colors, powdered rice, flower petals etc), light up their lives by lighting diyas (small earthen lamps), candles and  fireworks. Some people also enjoy playing Cards on Diwali night.

Diwali is celebrated in honor of the lord Rama, who on this day returned from a 14 years of forest exile .

I enjoy decorating my entire house with Diyas & Making rangolis & look forward to bursting crackers & playing cards with friends & family.
