Coffee painting

Hi friends......
Hope all is going well...
Last week I tried something new.... Coffee painting. Got the idea from Google and thought of trying it. Here is the result of my trail.


Procedure:
I coated d canvas board with white acrylic paint and drew out the design on it. Then I used the 3d out liner on top of it. I took a small Bru packet and dissolved the powder in water and painted using 000 brush. Once the paint dried I stuck rhinestones on the designs.

Mini Album

Hi

Today I wanna  share with you a project I had been working for the past 2 weeks. Well, by the title you know it's a mini album ...........But ........
The album is in the shape of the traditional Indian attire...........The Lehenga Choli..........
Yup, You heard me right. I came across many dress albums while surfing online.......and I wanted one.So I decided I would make an Indian Dress album.
Though the idea was thrilling ..... How to make.........was the question. Searched Online for a template but could'nt find any. That's when I made my own template and my journey to make the album began.
Here's a sneak peak into my 5 page mini album.
Well , this is how the album looks

Dress mini Album

Dress Mini Album

Hi

While browsing, I came across the ONESIE Dress album and the lady of the video was kind enough to send me the template for the same. After much research I saw that there were many such cute little albums and I wanted to make one for my own in a different style. So, I decided to go with the Indian style of Lehenga Choli. Here's the Sneak peak into my album.

It's a four page mini album.







This album would make a wonderful gift for any occasion ....like Birthday , Wedding Gift , Anniversary........

Experiment with stamps

Hello all,

Its been raining here today ...and I got some time to sit at my desk and experiment with the
" Inkadino - Down by the seaside'' ( hope d name is correct)stamp set .

As a part of the experiment I first stamped on a plain white paper to try out the outline I had in mind.
Then I stamped on a White cardstock. I actually wanted it to be a black and white card So, I used the black ink pad for the same. The outcome was good but the card got a black spot accidentally and I tried again on its back ..this time with color ...... It was good but the sea part got spoiled ...I mean , I stamped it over the horizon (my bad).

Third trail came out ok and here's the pic of the card I made.
Hope you Enjoy it.
Any suggestions or corrections are welcome....as I'must a beginner.

My first Easel card

This year Valentine was a bit different ........ 

I made a valentine gift for my dear hubby ... and since it was a surprise ...I gift wrapped it and kept it in the Lunch bag of his .... 
Well I expected him to call me during his lunch time .... I mean regarding the surprise .... but it was my turn to be surprised .... b'cos even after 3 days of valentine's there was no mention from my husband regarding the gift.

Unable to control my mixed feelings .... I asked him about the gift .... he said ... " I din't open it ...cos I thought it was a gift for my colleague's marriage". Only after I told him that it was a surprise for him did he open it after 5 long days of my waiting. There went my valentine like a gas less balloon.

By the way this was my gift ......
An Easel drawer card.......

My very first professional card

All the craft I learnt except jewellery making was from Internet only. So, with no proper guidance and Suggestions as to what to buy and what not to I plunged myself into online shopping.( Trust me on this... I wasted a lot of money in buying all the unnecessary).

Hmmmmm............. after lots of web search for online supply stores in India....... I stumbled across quite a few .
My very first purchase was from Itsy bitsy online store......let me think ..... what did I buy ...................yaaa Quilling materials. Then I googled a lot and found some local stores here in chennai where I got the materials I needed.
Things I made with them are ;
1. Card for my husband
2. Wall hanging for my Sister in Law.
3. Box which I use on my craft table.
4. Cover for the fuse box made from newspaper and quilling.
5. Photo Frames.
6. Jewellery.

Planning to do one more wall hanging ... since a year ...... now now ...don't tell me that I am lazy ....cos I know that I am ....hehee

The next online store that I came across is thecraftshop.in
I purchased the quilling dies from there. Seriously ...  dies ....me?
Only after I got them did I know that I needed a die machine.

Thats when I came across crafterscorner.in
Got my first SIZZIX big shot teal edition from that store. This got me addicted to dies and I started purchasing them......till date ......lol. What did I make from them ......?


Well this is my first card using dies and die cutting machine.

My other online sites which I do shop once in a while are

1. lulupu.com
2. craftsgully.com
3. Craftadda.com
