Two for Card Patterns Sketch 74

Sorry I have been irregular at your blogs once again. Hardly been able to come online of late... Aaryan was attending a camp and I was busy ferrying him to and fro ;-) PLUS because of the disaster with my punches, my MOJO was not working LOL!

Today's cards are based on the Card Patterns sketch this week. I hadn't been able to take part in the last couple of weeks though the sketches were awesome!! :-(

The first card is made to order for my sister-in-law's friend. She wanted a bright and glittery card for a relative's 50th birthday.


By the way, the tile punch effect that you see on the rust panel is the one I broke! :-( This was the last work using the punch... {sigh....}. Apart from that, there is some embossing, loads of bling and some lace. And yeah, butterflies {so unusual of me to use them but the punch is sort of good, so I didn't mind using it}.


The next card is another one made for my sister-in-law. She had asked me to make a few general ones... Again based on the Card Patterns sketch.


The flower is layered (around 6 layers in all) and is from a pack of floral collage sheets I got from Vineet's friend a few days back. I think it looks cute. :-) Aah yes... butterflies again. This time stamped ;-)... The verse stamp is one of my own... I used an old school prayer for the text. :-)

  6. I am sorry for the sad demise of that lovely punch.... I do understand & see the bond u shared with it..... :( Lovely creations.... Nothing is for ever.... It hurts more because it is a handful of them, that we cannot afford to let go.... My heart shaped border punch broke too, but I am still trying to use them in a very delicate manner.... When I become a pain to the broken stuff, it just throws off all the parts out, that I gather again & try to put them in place for a reuse.... ;) I am adamant too, like my stuffs.... ;) Hugs )))
