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.

three step card

hey friends,
Happy new year.. I know it's late but better late than never.. I hope all of you are keeping up with your new year resolutions. I also have one resolution that is to blog more often and make more of cards and try different techniques. So here I am with a new card I have just made up. I generally do not make cards often so I am not good at making cards.
This is a fancy fold card called "three step card".

Details: 
I have used papers from a DCWV stack. I have used Ek success scroll punch to make the background of front panel of the card and I am loving how it is looking. The I L U alphas are glitter alphas which I got from local stationary shop. the sentiment is a stamp I got from Joann's store don't know the brand.
The red daisies one the front panel are punch outs from jef punches. (used two sizes)
I have used MS border punch on inner panels and decorated them with pearls.
the cute birdies are a whimsy stamp colored with distress inks. I sooo love these cuties...

A mix media name plate

Hi all..
Its my first attempt at mixed media.. My bhabhi wanted a gift for her brother and she told me that she wanted a name plate. After discussing we zeroed at quilled name plate but I really wanted some different background this time. Hence I came up with this. I hope you guys will like this.. Any suggestions and inputs are welcomed.

here i have made a mixed media background and then done quilling over it for name and flowers.. and with some touch of mulberry roses it was good to go. My bhabhi was very very happy to see the result and I hope her brother also will like it. After all a happy face is what matters in the end. :)
I am sorry I dont have good pics as I could not take pre- framing pics and after framing the reflection of light didn't let me take good pictures. :(
