Can't even tell you how happy I am to show you this......When I began I was not sure about this and hence didn't shoot a video of the making process.....Looking back I really regret not doing it. however I have a pictorial tutorial on the ItsyBitsy blog waiting for all those who are interested to see how I altered this....So click HERE if you want to know more.
There are a few clicks of my project but I encourage you to got the ItsyBitsy blog where I have tons of pictures and other details for you all. Please let me know how you feel about this one as I was very nervous to begin with and would love to know your thoughts about this project.
I am linking this project at the following challenges running this month:-

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day ahead.
Hello my lovelies....
Has it ever happened to you.....a jingle or a song is stuck in your hear and you keep singing it again and again...even though you promise yourself you will stop.....it happened to me and the song that was stuck in my head was Whitney Houston's "And I will always love you....". No matter what I did It just wouldn't go away until I decided to do a project and finally write down the lyrics of this song on it.....It helped.
I am putting this project up at the following challenges:-
More Than Words - August 2017 Main Challenge - Harmony and song Lyrics- The song that inspired me to make this is "And I will always love you " by Whitney Houston and I added it to my project. My project is all about a vintage love story and If you are married for so long than it signifies peace and harmony is your bond. It reminded me of my parents and their strong relationship even after 40 years of their marriage......Touch Wood. Also, I wanted to make this kind of project for ever and now that its done...I can live in peace and harmony....lol.
Scrapy Land Challenge#72 - Anything goes used Die from Scrapy Land - I have used Elizabeth Craft Designs die curvy leaves which added the leaves to my project. Though a simple die....It add the finishing touches to my project.
I have a explosion box for you all today which was something I wanted to do for quite some time now. Its Vintage and Shabby chic......But I have used Mixed Media to make this one. Something different and I am sure we do not see much of this style....atleast I couldn't find anything related to this on the internet. this song made me think of vintage love story and so this entire layout and design and colors I used is based on this theme...."A Vintage Love Story...." if I may.
I have a video walkthrough of this project which I encourage you to watch to know the box looks from every angle. I have few pics here but I felt the pictures do not do justice to this project even though I tried my best to click from every angle.
This box is 6"cube has 5 layers in all. There are a few picture mats and tags as well held in pockets and belly bands. So it can take around 52 pictures max and 6 journaling tags which can be also used for pictures. Few mats can be written on as well and I feel its pretty functional.
I have metal legs attached to this box which are place 1/2"from the ground and these are pretty sturdy legs. These solve 2 purposes - It safeguards my flowers from getting squished and it added to the vintage feel.....Isn't ti awesome.
I have used kraft cardstock (270gsm)to build this box which makes the box very sturdy. The last layer is 6"square and the following layers to the inside are 1/2" smaller from the predecessor. The innermost layer is 4"in size. I have used Eno greetings paper pack - Romantic for the box. The handmade flowers and layers and done using scraps from Eno Greetings Retro Series paper pack. I think it has scraps from 3 paper packs from Retro Series.
In the center is a very beautiful ornate chipboard frame which is adorned with flowers and butterflies along with the lyrics of this timeless song. The orante from is basically built by me. I sandwiched the same chipboard background design I used on the top between 2 chipboard frames from ItsyBitsy. This frame actually is a pack of chipboard shapes I bought long time ago.....its an Oldie as well. I added gesso and embossed it with Gold an white embossing powders from Wow. I am pretty happy with the way it looks and those butterflies are divine.
All the flowers are handmade and I used my basic sizzix dies for this. The leaves are diecuts from elizabeth craft designs - Curvy leaves. I did stencilling on everypage and added doilies and cheesecloth. All the stencils are from ItsyBitsy and so are the doilies. All the pages are distressed using Tim Holtz distressing tool.
Ont he top, I have a ornate chipboard frame and a Chipboard background embellishment from Itsybitsy. They are also heat embossed with gold and white to achieve this shabby feel....
I hope you liked my Explosion box. I have never done this style and I am very excited to share something new with you all. I hope all liked it as well.
Hey guys
I have a DT inspiration post for you all today for the Let's Craft and Create Challenge blog. The theme for this month is Hey Dude! and so I have a birthday card keeping this theme in mind. This challenge runs for an entire month and you still have 2 weeks to put in your entries. Please click the link HERE to go the challenge blog.
I am putting this card up at the following blog challenges:
This is a fairly simple card and it took me hardly 15mins to do this.So I started with a standard A2 size card base in white and stamped balloons on it using 4 different distress inks...all in the shades of blue....Tumbles Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, Salty ocean and Faded Jeans. I stamped the same image with different colors in each row. You can add more rows with more shades but I had 4 shades and so I did 4 rows.
What's the fun of using distress inks without a little water... so I sprinkled a little water and waited for the magic to happen. Lifted the water with a tissue napkin and dried my card with a heating tool.
Then, I added silver strings to my balloons with a silver sparkle pen....but i did not press my pen too much and lightly drew all the strings using a t- ruler.
To finish my card, I stamped the sentiment with versamark and Black embossing powder from Wow. Sprinkled some fun sequins to give it a little hit of sparkle.
So here I finish my quick and easy birthday card...I hope you liked it and will give it a try. Thank you for reading this post and have a great day ahead.

Hello guys
I dunt know why but i am just hooked on to handmade card.....everyday I wake up with something new buzzing in my head and I can't rest until its done. July for me marks the beginning of Birthday season for me and I have a lot of Birthdays lined up....so I decided to stock up on my cards so that I have enough to send to everyone I know.
I am putting this card up at the following challenges:
Double D challenge - A pop of color with Black and White - I have my inspiration from the moodboard.
Its a fairly simple card and took me 1 hour to make it considering that I colored the flower with watercolor pencils. Though, I did use water to blend them initially and so I started with a watercolor cardstock. But then, I was very unhappy with the blending and went back again with the pencils and did some shading on the flower..
So, I heat embossed the flower and colored it with my pencils. I then fussy cut it out and kept it aside ready to mount on the panel. For the front panel, I stamped the leaf from the same stamp set several times using dye ink. I added a little black thread and on top adhered my flower. I glued this panel to a black cardstock making sure it was peeking out from 2 sides only. I added this to my chrome yellow standard A2 size cardbase. I finished my card with the sentiment stamped on vellum and added it to the front of the flower and sprinkled some clear sequins. I hope you liked my simple card with a pop of orange.

Now onto my card, it is a very simple card and took me 20 mins to complete it. to begin I took a white textured cardstock and did some ink blending with just 2 distress inks - Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon. I splattered some water and lifted some color off. I heat set this and then I did the waves using Modelling paste and Papericious Frosting Powder. I heat set everything and then stamped my sentiment using Archival Ink Black. the slippers are fussy cut from Red cardstock and it was fun to sketch and cut something out. I used my white gel pen to do the straps. I matter this panel with a Kraft cardstock and then mounted it on a standard A2 size white cardbase. Finished my card with some sequins from Mudra stamps.
I hope you like this quick and easy card....super fun and easy to make.

Cards and more challenge #189 - Holidays and Summertime - My card is inspired by my holiday to Goa which is full of beaches and a must for summertime.
Try it on Tuesday - Let it shine - I have used sparkling frosting powder on my card.
today I am breaking my watercoloring streak and got back to doing what I love making....shabby chic cards! A big shout out to everyone who loves shabby chic cards... I love shabby chic and cant get enough of them.
I am putting this card up at the following blog challenges:
I started with a white cardstock cut to 4" x 51/4" and I did some distress ink blending with Spiked Marmalade through a honeycomb stencil I just used 1 ink and just varied my pressure to get the gradient effect. I distress ed the edges with a distressing took and then added some neutral hemp twine around the front panel and finished with a cute bow. I mounted this onto a 41/8" x 53/8" orange cardstock which was also distressed on the edges using some fun foam. I mounted this onto my white card base cut to 41/4" by 51/2".
Once everything was assembled, I added some cheesecloth and then assembled all my flowers. Finished off the card with the sentiment and sequins. But then, I thought something was missing and thats when I decided to add butterflies which are white heat embossed and then colored with Spiced Marmalade distress ink. I shaped them and added them on my card and then added glossy accents to few of the honeycombs...super fun when you look up close.
So, that completed my card...I hope you all like it.
