Tag- color trio

Hello everyone!!
I hope you all are doing good. Temperature is rising in my part of world. It has already started boiling over here. But I really enjoy the season of cool drinks and mangoes, litchis, melons!! Oh.. my mouth is watering just hearing the names of the delicious fruits. You guys also keep yourself hydrated with the water rich fruits and drinks and stay cool.
I am late this month in posting the IQCG DT post. I am so sorry for that. Shylaa was sweet enough to forgive me for that. Thanks Shylaa. 
So, our challenge of this month at Indian Quilling Challenge group is color trio. We have to use only three colors in our quilling embellishments.
 I made a tag for a friend who is very close to my heart. we hardly meet or talk but still there is a special place for her in my heart. This month its her bday, and I am planning to send her this tag with her gift. 
I hope you all will like this tag.

I have made the background with the distress inks, and stamped with script stamp from Kaisercraft with versamark dazzle ink. The quote is also Kaiser-craft stamp and stamped with hero arts black ink.

The quilling strips used are 3mm in size, I have used three colors dark yellow for flowers, brown for center and green for leaves. sigh!! my camera is still not working..
Guys participate in our this month's challenge  IQCG-trio of colors
thanks for stopping by,

Birthday card

Hello everyone,
I am here with a new card I made on order. It was from a friend to another on her birthday. I was going mad with a lot of ideas in my mind. Its really difficult to choose and stick to one idea when client leaves everything on you, but then I stuck to the easel card. I quite liked the easel card I made earlier. Hence this is similar to earlier easel card I shared but a bit more elaborate with the die cuts and all.

I have mounted the die cuts on craft foam to give them a 3d effect.

Altered Clock

Hey folks,
Today I am here to share an upcycled project. We have a new challenge at IQCG and theme for this month is to recycle or altered art.

In my project i have recycled a cake base. I have used cake base as the base of my clock. I pasted cardstock over it and then using stencil made the background.
After adding clock dial and a lot of quilling flowers the cake base is completely transformed into a beautiful wall clock. I am in love with the outcome. I am sorry for bad pics though as my camera broke and these are mobile pics taken inside.

I hope you will like my project!!!

I hope you all like my attempt for the challenge and are inspired enough to participate in our ongoing challenge. Be sure to visit my fellow DT blogs' for more inspiration.

Cupcakes

hey everyone!!
Just a few days back I got this cute cupcake stamp set from a dear fellow crafter on destash and my hands were itching to use these cute cupcakes.
I am not much of a Clean and Simple card maker, so I wanted to try CAS card.
I stamped the cupcakes on the neenah watercolor cardstock and watercolored them using nirmal watercolors which my dear friend Tejal sent me.
The background is also colored using same colors.

easel card

Hey Everyone!!
 I am sharing a card I have just made. I have made easel card for the first time and used a new digi stamp I have just bought from all digital stamps. I colored this image using "Staedler" watercolor pencils. I have used papers from Papericious' "the flora season" paper stack. I have distressed the edges with Distress ink "picked raspberry". The sentiment is form Peek-a-boo designs stamp set.
I hope you like the card.
