Card #47 – Sunflower birthday
Sunflowers are my favorite and I aways enjoy stamping and painting them. Flipping through the pattern paper pad, I came across this print which seemed to go well with the flowers – gave it a ‘farm’ like look. Cut out the brown frame using infinity dies from Hero Arts®. For the banner, I used a wood…
Card #39 – Love the moment
Making a scene using a limited supply of stamps has always been a challenge. I dug through every single stamp set and stencil I purchased and came up with this scene. Though not intentional, the final look reminded me of a view outside a window. The sentiment seemed apt reminding us to see the beauty around…

Before painting the background, I used a stencil from The Crafters Workshop® and heavy gesso…

Art journal #11 Underwater
Today, I finished this layout which I started working on after all the inspiration from Simon says stamp’s Monday challenge blog. Used a lot of water colors and magazine cut outs on this page. This time, I remembered to click some pictures every time I took a break..felt that would be much more interesting than getting…
Art journal #4 -Einstein once said ;)
I cannot be sure if the internet attributes various quotes to people who actually said it – Misattributions are possible, but since fact checking can be a tedious job, I am assuming any quote with multiple hits on Google, to be true! Amidst all the googling, I came across this page which some of you might find interesting, so check it…
