           This is my final post for Mudra this season; I'm taking a break from crafting & Mudra creative team for a few months as my PG exams are fast approaching & I gotta read.
     Before that I thank each & every member of our creative team for their wonderful love & support and for the truck loads of inspiration. It would have been tough without you guys!!
     And last but not the least to Varshitha, who believed in me & gave me this wonderful opportunity to be a part of MUDRA. Thank you so much dear, love & hugs.
     And thanks to all my fellow crafters for their love & inspiration.
     I will still be stamp designing for Mudra, yay :) and will definitely join the Creative team again after my exams, if given the opportunity :)

Home sweet Home ♥

       Hello friends!
       Hope you are having a nice day. Today I'm sharing a card I made for my friend's house warming party. With lots of ink sponging, paper piecing & a little bit of stamping.
       So here it is...

• Took an A4 size card stock & folded in the middle; a huge card indeed!!
• Sponged the distress ink in shades of blue, purple & black for the sky & shades of green for the meadow.

• Paper piecing using patterned papers of the house & chimney & the roof and windows were mounted with foam tape. 
• Attached a brad for the door knob. 
• Mail box created with paper piecing again.

• Moon made using card stock colored with yellow DI, fussy cut, embossed with bridal tinsel & finally coated with glossy accents.

• Window panes have glossy accents too; to give the glass effect. 

• Stamped few plants & flowers along the lower margin in Archival green ink.
• Stamped & clear embossed flourishes all around the background.
• And finally added the stars to the sky & few detailing using Uniball signo white pen. ♥

       Good evening friends!!
       Today I'm sharing a quick birthday card I made for a little girl.

       Without further delay, let's see how I made it.

• Took a top folding card base and cut out a onesie shaped card out of it.
• Sponged pink distress ink all around with heavy inking to define the border. 
• Stamped using a flourishes stamp & clear embossed it for the background.
• Used the same flourishes & stamped in pink DI in a card stock & fussy cut the top of the dress. 
• Used pink DI to color a cheese cloth & put it together on the card base to create the pink gown.
• Adorned the dress with pearls in shades of pink & stamped the sentiment!!

Love brings you Home ♥

       Good evening friends!!

       Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas. A different try with loads of flowers & my first canvas with chipboard. Had lots of fun creating this ♥ .
       I took a 8"x10" canvas & primed it with a layer of gesso. Applied yellow & orange acrylic paints to create a distressed background. 

       Applied a coat of diluted gesso to tone down the colors & then added some home-made texture paste using HOTP & TCW stencils. 

       Then added the flowers & flourish chipboard from Dusty Attic-Doodads #7 ♥ and loads of semi-circle glitter beads.

       Added the words Life, Love & Home using Tim Holtz stencils and home-made texture paste. Then went crazy with scented spray inks from Hampton Art (grapefruit, vanilla, cinnamon & lavender).
       Took the "Journey" chipboard from Dusty Attic-Word Pack #3 & then embossed with metallic pink embossing powder in two layers. Then added highlights with red & pink pigment ink & embossed them too with clear embossing powder. Added it to my canvas & gave a coat of glossy accents for a glossy look!! ♥♥

       Added highlights to the flowers & flourish using acrylic colors & Inka gold in Gold. Hand painted the sentiment.
       Added some background flourishes in Archival Monarch orange & sponged the border using the same. 

       Well, I am happy with how it turned out. Gifted it to my cousin's House warming party with best wishes for the happy & exciting journey in their new home ♥

Laugh Often ♥ Love Deeply

       Good day friends!!

       It's a card today, something that was designed after the Mini Album I made few days back. 

       I loved that design & color combo so much that I had to use it again. ♥

       So here's how I made it with few photos for your eyes. 

       I punched out lots of little hearts from a card stock, stacked 2 hearts one over the other to create some dimension.

     I cut out the card base from black card stock, drew a heart in the middle & fussy cut that so that the heart opens down the center. Then took those punched & stacked hearts and pasted them on my black card stock. 

     Then it went on like this, gave a coat of gesso, added 3 flowers at the bottom & lots n lots of glitter micro beads using matt medium. Added texture paste through a circles stencil. Painted with acrylic colors in shades of blue, used Inka gold in gold to add highlights.Added few highlights using background stamps in Archival blue ink.

     Punched 2 holes in the flap of the hearts & added eyelets to it. 

     Cut a chip board in the shape of an arrow, decorated it using paper piecing technique. Used that with blue ribbon to close the hearts.

       Colored a card using gold acrylic colors & mounted my finished card on it and it's done
