Day -6 #‎spring2017clh

Hi friends,

Today's card is totally inspired by the logo of this blog hop. I hope it is ok to do that. Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2017!

I happen to have this 'Coffee' word die by Verve stamps and that is the reson I went for this design. I added a background using dies to deboss on the panel. 

I have one more card for this hop which I will be sharing tomorrow. Thank you so much for being here. Your kind words enable me to do more. Hugs!

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!

Crazy Birds - Tim Holtz

Hi friends,

Today, I am sharing few cards made using Tim Holtz - Bird Crazy stamp set. I was waiting to get it since CHA. It is an adorable, quirky set of images. I love the most is the expressions on their faces. In my cards I tried to give words to their expressions... and it is so much fun... it cracks me up every time i look at them.

Here goes the first one...

Simple colouring & mamaelephant sentiments...just goes so well!

Second card:

 

Isn't this funny? 'BFF' is a Jane's Doodle stamp and the other is Wplus9...just added 'Ya' to sync everything.  

Third one :

I designed this card around that Papertrey ink sentiment. To highlight the contrasts of regular and some one different, I used black die cut of a bird representing regular, general, normal bird against that crazy, colourful , different bird. 

Last one :

Love...love...love this one. Verve stamp sentiment goes so well with this kind of old - nerdy bird. 

That's all for today....!

See you soon!
