Today I have a card made specially for the IRC challenge where we had to interpret ICR and use the colour hues - Yellow, Green and Brown/Maroon. I interpreted IRC as I -> Inks, C->Chocolates, R-> Ribbon. And here is my card -

I->Ink, C->Chocolates, R->Ribbon

I wanted to make quilled chocolates since long time. So as soon as I thought of C for chocolates, I decided to give them a try. I am just in time for the challenge..the challenge would end today (30th April) at 12am.
The stamp (flourish) is MICIA clear stamp and the sentiment is foam stamp from hobby ideas.
The ribbon is sent to me by Kavitha as a part of ICR swap.
Yellow pattern paper is form Making Memories. It has embossed stars which would be visible if you click and enlarge the image. Brown paper is local.
More quilled chocolates to follow soon...

2 more Birthday cards!

Hello!
I have 2 more Birthday cards today. I had made these long back for 2 of my friends & colleagues but didn't upload as I had not given it to them. I am still experimenting with pattern papers and stamping. Hoping that one day I would master it like my fellow bloggers :)

In the card below, I have used inkadinkado clear stamps which I had purchased from the crafting queen store. The butterfly is then clear embossed. I used the technique mentioned on Tejal's blog for colouring the butterfly.

 More cards to follow :)

And here is my card -

The flowers and leaves are punched and the butterfly is a digi colored using color pencils and then clear embossed to give a glossy finish.

My Scrappy Scrap Challenge card!

Hey All,
This time I have a new card for the Scrappy Scrap challenge. For this challenge, Shalini had sent us few scraps and this is what I had received -

And this is what I made -

It's a Easel card with a color changing butterfly. Here's a video to view the changing colours.-

It's the first time I experimented with acetate sheet and as soon as I saw the jute flower, I thought of making Easel card. We were not supposed to use anything else other than the scraps, cardstock, single stamp,punches (only on card stock or scraps), adhesives and paints/writing material.  So, for rotating the wheel, I used a paper made brad. I will soon post a tutorial on this.

I hope you like this card :)
Warm Regards,
Piyu

The challenge is to create a quilling card using monochromatic colours. In this card I have used 5 shades of quilling strips.

Simple quilled cards

The dimension of the cards is around 14 cm * 11 cm.

Few more Quilled cards

My husband's in Singapore since April and I was all alone in Hyderabad for 4 months. It was during this time I made the below cards. It would keep me busy during the weekends.

Mr Froggy

Here comes Mr. Froggy.


This card would surely be loved by kids. You can add a crown too and make him a Frog Prince :). Or How about Mr. and Mrs. Frog?

Daffodil - Cards

These are 2 daffodil cards I made over the weekend using husking technique. The border is made using punches. For first card, I have glued Green and white paper behind the punched stem and flowers respectively.
For the second card, I have pasted punched green leafs on yellow paper

More Quilled cards

In this post, I have few more of my quilled cards.

75th Birthday Card

I made this card for my husband's aunt on her 75th Birthday. It took 5 days ( 1 hour per day).
I think it would have been better if I had left the "75" plain, but you see, I am addicted to quilling. So couldn't stop myself :)

My Quilled cards

Below are 2 of my initial quilled cards -





These Cards are made using 3mm thick paper strips and basic quilling shapes.
