Handmade Greeting Cards in Dubai ~ 10

February 25, 2015February 26, 2015 naush

Hello friends ! I am continuing the 14 days 14 cards series. This being my 10th card.

This is an awning card for a boutique/window display.

Elements/techniques in this card include :- Dry embossing, rubber stamping: flowers, border punches, design paper, pink brads, die cut oval, sentiment: digital stamp. Each one of those vases are paper pieced individually and distressed, copic markers on flowers. The awning itself, was a lot of effort. Had to cut stripes of pink and add to the white portion to give it an awning-like appearance. Plenty of layers involved here. Perhaps, becoz I tried this technique for the first time, I took a long time to design and dress it up. I just love how it turned out !

Birthday Cards, Birthday Cards Feminine

Cake and the window.

October 25, 2009 naush

Its strange, how I can talk for hours together on different subjects ( almost like a chatterpox ) … If some one was to show me his/her art, I could go on and on, appreciating his skills if I geniunely liked it. But somehow I fail to have much to say about my own creative expressions. I suppose, I’ll let the card do all the talking.

I like this card, its a very feminine kinda card.
