Distress, Crackle, Embossing

Distress, Crackle, Embossing - what is more cooler than having all these things in one place… well my thinking exactly… so here is my all combined mother's day card…

I added one of my favorites quotes,

"Dearest Mom, Are we not like 2 volumes of one book?"

Hope you all like it

Totally T!M

An oriental mother's day card...

Sayonara

The theme is Geishas - for the Chestnut Theme Challenge at Gingersnap Creations… my creation this time is all hand made, from paper to the print. I bought this really beautiful yellow hand made mulberry paper and added that as the backdrop for my beautiful Geisha. i painted the geisha using re-inkers of t!m's distress ink range, and then for her dress i cut out some fabric i had lying around and pasted them. since actual geisha's decorate their hair either with flowers or ornaments i wanted to add the same flair to mine. so the punched flowers and the ribbon bow adds as a final touch….

a close up!

Hope you enjoy my version of geisha...

The gem you are

Here comes a new one; Sparkling off my new mother's day collection;

Happy New Year Sri Lankans!!!

Today is the traditional new year for us Sri Lankans, for some of you who don't know;

Sri Lanka is a small island in the middle of the indian ocean, earlier days it was known as the pearl of the indian ocean. we are a tropical land full of greenery. Our mother tongue is Sinhalese but we speak English as our second language. April New Year goes back to our roots in the Sri Lanka's history, its connected with fertility of the harvest, which has given birth to many customs and traditions. its also a wonderful holiday for all of us….

so i made this card to wish everyone (in sinhalese)

The card says

"Wishing a Happy New Year"

The Typewriter

It's another challenge, and again combined with my collection theme, this time its Gingersnap Creations - Redhead Challenge - Typewriters.

The moment i saw this, the idea that came was to do an actual typewriter so, i added the wires to give an old looking type writer. Like this one below;

so this here is my version of the typewriter challenge;

Grungy Flower

Here is my t!m inspired grungy flower combined with a mum card, from my new Mother's day card collection. this is the first time i actually did one, you can see it in tim's 2009 - 12 tags of christmas, day 1 . so i made a few mistakes doing the flower, i actually need to add a another petal which i totally forgot.

well hope you like it!!

Office Supplies

Here is a another card in my Father's day card collection, inspired by Gingersnap Creations - Spicy Supply Challenge - Office Supplies, i really love the file indexes i have added with the writing, it says;

"A father's heritage to his children wasn't words or possessions, but an unspoken treasure, the treasure of his example as a man and a father.

-- Will Rogers Jr. "

Here is a close look

Thanks, hope you enjoy it, leave me some love!!!
