Candy Land card!

Hello All,

I made this card just like that. I somewhat wanted to make something which looks like candies and when I assembled the whole card it gave me a feel of a candyland. Lol!!
So here it is-

This card gives such a sunny, cheerful look that I made it apparent in the sentiment. The sentiment is hand written. The 'candies' are quilled circles of various shades.

The other supplies used for this card are patterned papers from assorted collections and a valentine theme twine from doodlebug.
Some more pics-

Do lemme know if you like my candy card or not..:D

Thank you all!

A flowery card

Hello,


This card was made for my hubby's colleague and friend of mine :). I asked her, her favorite colors and she told me - hot pink and cyan.
Both the colors are bright and cheery and I had to figure out a way to make both the colors stand out..this is what I came up with..

I know the stem is a little offset :( :(
Its a result of my impatience with my creations..but I loved the look of daisies.

The flowers look nice but I am really not liking the stem.. :(

please do let me know your views about the card.. It will help me do better :)

Two tone card 1

Hello All,


Today I am in a mood for posting. This is my fourth post in a row and I am happy but touchwood before I get jinxed again and I stop posting for another month :P
I have been pondering over making two tone cards in Quilling for very long but never really put the idea on paper. But one evening, while randomly sorting out my paper stack, I saw these lovely girly complementary colors and I had to make something using both of them as main colors.
Anyways,
Let the pictures do rest of the talking..:P

Though we took dozens of pictures, I can't possibly put them all up :p. So putting just a few...

As usual, nothing fancy or elaborate, just a simple post with my simple creation. Comments welcome :)

Flourish!!

Hello friends,


The card I am presenting today is very special to me. Not that I have special sentiments to it, I am sentimental about all my creations anyway :P. I didn't know how it will turn out to be when I started it because I was making it from scrap strips. Remember in my older posts, how I started quilling after coming to Singapore with only 3 colors (red, pink and blue) of shredded strips and this project was supposedly a left over kinds. But on completion it looked pretty much wholesome and nice!!

I don't have much to write about it. Just loads of pictures to share...My sweetheart photographed it nicely for me and I am sharing the ones I liked..

Its a very simple, no fuss, happy go lucky card and I really love it...

Hope you like it.
As always your precious comments will tell me that...Do let me know how it came out..
Love all

A small Thank you card!!

Hey everyone,

I am back again right in the morning to post about this small cute card I made 2 weeks ago to express our 'Thanks' to a friend for his kind invitation. :D

More or less, since I have come to Singapore, I doubt I have left any occasion without adorning it with my quilled and crafty creations. So here it goes-

 This card has been made within 10 minutes and I am patting myself for that..NO No! not coz I made the 'entire' card in 10 minutes, but because I have kept a bunch of pre made flowers with me which I make every now and then and which come very handy whenever I have to conjure a quick card. 
So really, this card was made with the help of my already made flower motif. 

 These ascending swirls were totally a last minute addition. I had earlier planned to stick the flower and write 'Thank you very much' in the remaining space, but don't know what clicked in my head that I added this bunch of swirls and I totally loved the effect it gave to the entire setting..^_^

I am sure someone who has read my previous posts must have noticed the use of these 3 colors 'only' before as well. As I earlier mentioned, I had shredded like these 3 colors and wanted to use them a bit before stocking more color strips and so only 3 colors have been used so far.
Its not very fancy or bold and big but serves the purpose well enough..:D


Thank you for looking and as always, your comments are always welcome.

Comeback Series - 1 "Photo frame as a gift"

Hello people,


Hope all is well. I am back with my promise of introducing the comeback series for my readers. This is the first post of the comeback series. Its a photo frame, I made for my best friend who was going to Germany to be reunited with her husband and I really wanted to gift her something very special and personalised. 


Of course, I had the option to buy, but we all know how special it is when it is handmade :D.


Well so, I had an IKEA photo frame lying with me for at least one year, as I bought them in London but didn't use them for I was saving them for my crafting experiments. :P However, little did I know at that time that they would turn out as perfect gifting solutions as my friend loved the frame and its proudly sitting in her drawing room now with their wedding pic.
This is how it looked as I started with it

I am sorry that I didn't take pictures right from the beginning as I was rushing (it was her last day in India) and was desperate to finish it asap. But I can always write about how I did it :D
The checkered background I have used is a printed film with an adhesive backing which I bought in UK as well. I covered the whole frame with it and since it had an adhesive backing, it stuck all nicely to the wooden frame. (I wanted to use a girly color, something representing a fresh start. Since she was going to be with the love of her life, pink and red seemed to be the obvious choice for me. )After that I just randomly started laying out quilled designs in the corresponding colors trying to fill in the space as much as possible.

Finally I added some stones which were lying with me from my glass painting days to add a little bit of bling to the whole thing as I found it really dull looking otherwise. But nevertheless, it came out pretty much nice in just one hour :p. Here is one final pic. 

Please do tell me your views about this photo frame. 


Hugs,
