Here’s my take on this week’s CP sketch. I have diverted slightly from the actual sketch. This is the actual sketch......I hope the DT doesn’t mind.
I decided to do some quilling after a long time......I guess I should quill more often...its so much fun! I left the background blank so that the focus is on the quilled image.
I’d like to share another card I made last week. I made this for my brother-in-law’s graduation. The graduation hat is clipart and the scroll is paper tied in a tight roll with red ribbon. The sentiment is a printout.

Here is my take on this week’s Card Patterns sketch. The cards by the DT are awesome as usual. Here is the CP sketch.I clipped the star using a colored paper clip.
The sun has been stamped using a traditional Indian stamp carved out of wood. Such stamps are traditionally used in India to stamp images on cotton/silk fabric woven on hand looms using vegetable dyes. The technique is known as block printing.
They are also used to put henna or mehndi (in Hindi) patterns on palms and feet. Mehndi is a ceremonial art form used on special occasions like weddings and festivals.
The sentiment is handwritten.

Here are two new baby congratulations cards, the blue one for a boy n the pink one for a girl (as if you hadn’t figured that out yourself ;) ). They can be used for any other occasion also...........

I really like the way ribbons have been used in this. I stuck the ribbons onto matching paper and cut along the edges using a pattern cutting scissors (the scissors have been lying around for a long, I never really found a good use for them until now).

The “Congratulations” has been stamped using a clear stamp made by my husband at home. He has put together a complete setup to make clear stamps. It is a very messy job and needs some practice to make stamps with more detail in them nonetheless I am really excited about it as now I can get custom made stamps!!
