           This is my final post for Mudra this season; I'm taking a break from crafting & Mudra creative team for a few months as my PG exams are fast approaching & I gotta read.
     Before that I thank each & every member of our creative team for their wonderful love & support and for the truck loads of inspiration. It would have been tough without you guys!!
     And last but not the least to Varshitha, who believed in me & gave me this wonderful opportunity to be a part of MUDRA. Thank you so much dear, love & hugs.
     And thanks to all my fellow crafters for their love & inspiration.
     I will still be stamp designing for Mudra, yay :) and will definitely join the Creative team again after my exams, if given the opportunity :)

Home sweet Home ♥

       Hello friends!
       Hope you are having a nice day. Today I'm sharing a card I made for my friend's house warming party. With lots of ink sponging, paper piecing & a little bit of stamping.
       So here it is...

• Took an A4 size card stock & folded in the middle; a huge card indeed!!
• Sponged the distress ink in shades of blue, purple & black for the sky & shades of green for the meadow.

• Paper piecing using patterned papers of the house & chimney & the roof and windows were mounted with foam tape. 
• Attached a brad for the door knob. 
• Mail box created with paper piecing again.

• Moon made using card stock colored with yellow DI, fussy cut, embossed with bridal tinsel & finally coated with glossy accents.

• Window panes have glossy accents too; to give the glass effect. 

• Stamped few plants & flowers along the lower margin in Archival green ink.
• Stamped & clear embossed flourishes all around the background.
• And finally added the stars to the sky & few detailing using Uniball signo white pen. ♥

Happy Earth Day ♥

       Good evening friends!!
       I'm sharing a journal page today; I made this as a part of the Circle journal group started by Riswana. It's a cool idea & I loved working on it. 

    It's a super easy layout & this is how it was created. 

• Sponged distress inks in rainbow colors from one side of the page & then created the sky with blue & the meadow with green DI.

• Stamped the tree using a Fiskars stamp & then stamped the leaves randomly using black Archival ink. 

• Stamped few leaves randomly around the page using third degree stamping to get a faded effect.

• Created a border by applying texture paste using Crafters Corner stencil & sponged some ink over the same to neutralize the white a bit. 

• Stamped the sentiment in black & it's done ♥♥

Pretty in Pink ~ Happy Birthday ♥

       Good evening friends!!
       Today I'm sharing a quick birthday card I made for a little girl.

       Without further delay, let's see how I made it.

• Took a top folding card base and cut out a onesie shaped card out of it.
• Sponged pink distress ink all around with heavy inking to define the border. 
• Stamped using a flourishes stamp & clear embossed it for the background.
• Used the same flourishes & stamped in pink DI in a card stock & fussy cut the top of the dress. 
• Used pink DI to color a cheese cloth & put it together on the card base to create the pink gown.
• Adorned the dress with pearls in shades of pink & stamped the sentiment!!
