I created these card for my nieces whose birthday’s are in February using the sketch from the verve visual contest. Here are two cards for the challenge.

For the first card, I drew on the solid cardstock by matching the design on the fabric and colored it in.
Supplies: Plain and textured cardstock, vellum, printed fabric, Happy Birthday Stamp, color pencils
For the second card, I incorporated my jewelry making skills to the layout.
Supplies: Plain and patterned cardstock, vellum, Happy Birthday Stamp, jewelry wire and beads

I went with a scrapbooking style for a New Year photo greeting card this time. Used six different cardstocks, four solid colors and two with prints that coordinated with the photograph.
Used distressing, freehand drawing, coloring, prima paper flowers, rhinestones, eyelets and a whole lot of cutting and glueing. My daughter, Kavya enjoyed the coloring and glueing part of this project.
Happy Deepavali !

Diwali/Deepavali is the festival of lights to celebrate Lord Rama’s return to his kingdom. Lord Rama spent 14 long years in exile, where he fought many hard battles with grit, determination and honor. His return home to his kingdom Ayodhya was celebrated by his people in pomp and splendor, a celebration of the triumph of good over evil.
Here is a simple handmade card that has embossing, painting, paper cutouts and drawing with glitter pens.
