Now, inspired by the sunflower...

Taking the sunflower theme a step further, we made these magnetic Post It  notepad holders, in class. The kids loved making them and I think their mums' did too!
Thanks for stopping by!

The gorgeous sunflower from Mexico!

We visited Mexico city last week! I was enthralled by the colours there! And of course, the Sunflower...everywhere! From the vase at my bedside in my friends' home, to every street corner and the motifs on everything possible!
Here are some of my impressions...

I've been inspired

After many days of a major creative block, I received inspiration in the most amazing way! As I was dropping my daughter off to her story writing class, I passed a young girl on the street wearing a t-shirt with colourful tags printed on it.  It was just a glance, but it triggered off a wave of creativity! Here is the result...

Stamps are from Hero Arts "small variety alphabet" stamp set. The stamp '2' is from the Stampendous "calligraphy alphabet" stamp set. The buildings (with the wires connecting them...a common sight in India!), I have doodled, as also the clouds and the little tiny birds(crows...also a common sight in India!)

                                                             

                                                                  *************

This following of cards is inspired by Godelieve Tijskens of http://stampingmathilda.blogspot.com/2011/02/old-favorites-are-back.html

The stamps that she used were from Hero Arts, but since I did not have the stamp, I improvised. I used the same peek-a-boo concept....I created  a stencil by punching out a square from a piece of card. I then used it to draw a square. Then using the stencil as a mask I stamped the Hero Arts "Hydrangea" stamp in different ways. Then I coloured it in, cut out the squares and stuck them on a white card. The sentiment is from the  Hero Arts "everyday sayings" stamp set.

Here I've used the same technique, using a stamp from Cherish Stamps. I've made matching envelopes too!

                                                                   

                                                                 **************

Here I have used the Hero Arts "Antique Brocade" cling stamp to create a background. To follow the pattern, I punched out two cosmos flowers and folded them over to create a carnation. I punched

out a tulip to form the base of the flower. I then stamped the  background on another piece of cardstock and cut out a frame using my Spellbinders Nestabilities scalloped rectangles. To add interest in the flower, I have coloured it a bit with orange and yellow coloured pencils and also

shaded the tulip with darker and lighter green coloured pencils. i finished off the project by adding some green gemstones.

Thanks so much for stopping by....

My Valentine's offering to my husband!

I made this card using the Fiskars embossing plate in the Cuttlebug. The stamp is from Fiskars too. I added the hearts on the sugar cubes. I love the way it has turned out...after 17 years, hubby dear needs to be reminded once in a while..

Wine bottle tag in silver and gold!

I made these tags using the Hero Arts Artistic grapes stamp set. A clean and simple tag, it was fun  and quick to make. I cut out the circle using my trusted Spellbinders Nestabilities dies.
