Chase your dreams

Hi friends,

I am sharing a floral card today! I got this stamp set Fleur 2 by Pinkfresh quite some time ago but this crazy summer and unexpected social events are keeping me away from crafting. This is a large set consisting of many images of flowers and branches. I love it's delicate, whimsical feel. I made this card for my student, a sweet girl who went to Australia for further studies in Architect. She is a girl with million dreams who is very close to me. I wish all her dreams come true!

The sentiment is from Word series - Believe stamp set. This is a very versatile stamp set which gives you many options for one of a kind sentiments. I colored the florals using Tomboy dual pens. The images are very delicate so brush tip of tombow pen gives me better control than water colors. 

I have few more ideas using this set. Hoping to make and post soon. 

Thank you for stopping by! 

Paint it Pink!

Hello Friends,

Today, I am sharing a card which was inspired by Chaitali's post HERE! She lost her mom recently to the breast cancer. She started this hop ( i am not a part of hop but couldn't help myself) to spread awareness about the importance of early detection of BC to cure it!

This post really touched my heart as my own mom is a BC survivor.  It's been 8 years since she is cancer free! Being a daughter that put me at higher risk of having BC myself. I am undergoing check up regularly and I urge you all to do the same. I have seen her pain and agony. There were days when she won't even get up from bed. I myself have shaved her head after second chemo with a hope that her hair will grow back. And they did! Her BC was detected in early stage so we could fight it off. She is a strong woman, her faith and positive attitude did miracle. I am so proud of her and I hope to inherit the same spirit and attitude towards life.

So, I dedicate this card to my mom and all the women fighting BC. Keep fighting, never give up because as Dr. Seuss said "Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem." 

I have used Verve stamps for sentiment and peerless water colours for background!. This design is influenced by Amy's card HERE!

Chaitali is also an illustrator for Verve Stamps and she has designed beautiful sets with superb sentiments HERE and HERE!

That is all for today. Take good care of yourself. Hugs!
