Now the fun part! Prizes!!! Yay!

It has 2 Paper smooches stamp set, 1 Penny Black stamp set, 2 My Mind's eye paper pads and 4 Simon says stamp min ink pads. If there are more than one, we will do a lucky draw!

Let's celebrate Diwali with Indian craft room! - ICRCAUT02

Hello All,

We have next challenge ready for you. I am hosting this challenge at Indian Craft Room which is so fun and festive. Make Diwali creations using below sketch I made..

And here is my inspiration for you!

I love love making Diwali cards but always feel out of supplies as we don't get Diwali/Indian themed stamps and sentiments. Anyway, I had to make one with whatever i had. Since, the background of the sketch stripy, I selected the My Favorite Things Triangles background stamp. I head embossed with white embossing powder and distressed each strip one by one by masking the adjacent strips..
Sentiment is made from Lawn Fawn alphabet stamps and diya is made from cutting the heat embossed circle stamp from Inkadinkado into half.

I can't wait what you all make for this challenge. Do give it a try!

Happy Crafting!
Priya

We are having considerably a BIG BLOG HOP termed as “Re-Creational” Blog Hop! And this is to celebrate all our GUEST DESIGNERS at Indian Craft Room for the year 2011…. YAY!

We are RE-CREATING the MAGIC that paved our way to being the Guest Designers for the respective challenges on ICR for the year 2011….

You should have arrived here from our very talented and my dear friend Priyadarshini Deshpande's blog.
If not make sure you begin the re-creational hop from the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!

I was on cloud 9 when I was selected as GD for my card I made for ICRC5 where the theme was to interpret the word RAIN + deck up the inside or an envelope.

And I made this card with my very basic craft supplies.

You can find more details about the card here. 

Based on the same theme, I made a Bitsy bluebell card...  The clouds are hand drawn and colored with Faber Castel water color pencils. The tiny hearts are leftovers that Jovita sent me along with decorative circles die-cuts which I used in my telescopic cards.. And the big hearts are stickers.

RULES TO THE HOP:

•  Make sure you hop around to each designer from the START {ICR} & leave your thoughts in the comments section, on every SPACE.
