I kept it very simple.... can't get cleaner than this for me {wink}. I am not too much a fan of brown but I am slowly growing to like them on cards once in a while. I won this stamp by The Stamp Shoppe a few months back. Inked it for the first time for this card and I quite like the clean lines.
I have been dying to have a large scallop border die and till I lay my hands on one of those, I thought I'd make do with semi circles. Not neat enough but serves my purpose. This time I omitted my usual faux stitching with dots. I kind of like the effect :-).
Another card I want to share with you today is something I made a month back... wonder how I forgot to post it though.
Again very very simple but I like it. Embossed using border embossing folders on the top and bottom. I went over the embossing with my trusted 3D outliner [I hoard on this thing... I have it in every color I like :D]. The highlight of this card, though, is the flower. I stamped on fabric for the first time. Love how the flower turned out... a little out of place, but it is ok. ;-)
Hope you liked the cards.
Wait wait wait... I need help/tips again. I am finding myself getting addicted to albums. But can someone please help me with binding options. I have binder rings now but I'd like to know more too. If I use rings, how do I go about the binding? I have been trying to read up online but am more confused than ever.

PS: I also got a new set of papers from Itsy Bitsy finally!! Not sharing a pic, because most of you (my fellow Indian crafters) already have them :-). My brother in law came down from Bangalore on Saturday, and with him came my papers *chuckle chuckle*.

ReplyDeleteSuper card..super image..and your poor Bro finally braved those 3 hours of language disability to get your papers! They're gorgeous aren't they?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by binding..you just punch holes, put eyelets and put 3 rings to bind your album..what other way do you want to bind them? Mail me..i'll search something for you!
Thanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteTejal, yes he braved the 3+ hours and got me all that I asked for... he also came home and told everyone his Itsy Bitsy tales ;-)
