memories...

HI all, 

Hope you are enjoying the wedding season...

Its always been Quilling which i do the most but recently i tried my hands on Textures.

Have seen some wonderful projects using modelling paste, gesso, stencils etc etc...

So i was too tempted to try my hands on this ...

And coincidentally had my cousin's Silver jubilee coming up so thought why not create a layout...

So i took a canvas stretched on a wooden frame, used Texture white and created some circular patterns with Comb.Love the way the circles turned out..

Wanted to make it colourful so took up my distress inks ( i m totally in love with these!! :P) 

I always wanted to create something with photographs...so asked my nephew to get me there wedding pics(the day the journey started)...what could be better for remembering 25 wonderful years of happy wedded life..

And as i said i have been doing quilling , quilling n quilling...my family loves when i add quilling to there gifts...so it had to be the paper strips again..

So here is my simple no fuss layout..

Hoping you all would like this..and especially my brother loves his surprise :)

Wish Tree

Hi all,
Hope you have been enjoying the blogs. Trying to put forward easy but intresting projects for you to create. The latest addition is something I named the Wish Tree. This one is very simple to make , a little twists and turns needed to create the effect of the branches and you can choose a colour scheme of your own.

• It can be left monochromatic, or made in hues of the same colour or made colourful using shades of greens, browns etc. 
• The magic is created by taking strips of different sizes (1/8 and 1/4th cm) and lengths together. 
• Part the entire piece into two bold halves and curl/wind the paper into coils of different sizes and in different directions.
• Take a coloured card sheet of your choice, give the edges design using pinking shears( for a zig zag pattern) or a shape of your choice. You can also stamp the card sheet with different blocks to give it a leafy theme. 

• You can frame this tree by putting it in a decorative low- rise box and can be gifted to family and friends on special occasions.

There no end to imagination and the magic being created.
Happy Crafting!!
