Varnas Kitchen chicks

Hello!

             These are some of the cards I designed for Varnas , when this set was release.They are in my facebook page. I felt, the Varnas Designer Cards did not receive the honour they deserve, as it was posted in all urgency and with so many other cards.So decided to dust(!!? :) ) all the old unshared photos and make posts in the coming week.What say?

             This set is particularly different in the whole release and yet I have to say I enjoyed making these cards. The first one, the whole background was created with the checks stamps. And some coloring.

When I think of kitchen, the wall tiles came to my mind and so this card design 

Yet another card to show , how the checks background and the other stamps could be combined.

And this paper piecing :)  and they look cute is nt it? :)

Stay tuned to see more on the Varnas release soon :)

Thanks for Stopping by

Shaped cards!!

hiya,

                I know I had been  MIA for a long time and this time I give no excuses. Had been a little lazy and just basking, with holidays and stay with parents, it is so relaxing!

             Crafting a little less lately and wanted to show u some shaped cards from my exhibition! So late! I know.. Better late than never!Since ICRC17 has a similar challenge theme for the month, I decided to make a post, before the end of the month -finally!!

             Believe me, shaped cards sell like hot cakes in exhibition, for the simple reason that I guessed, people cannot buy such cards in shop and they should be made.Here is some feast for ur eyes!
