Card using stamping technique.


After browsing the internet, I came across various pretty cards using the stamping technique. I was a bit reluctant to make an investment buying stamps, inks and stuff. So, remembered a trick taught to me in school using different vegetables and fruits and decided to use the same for this creation.  
        
              I have used okra / ladyfinger (veggie) and a cotton ear bud to create stamps , flowers made from pamphlets received alongwith  newspapers, and the message tag from an old wedding invitation card. Recycled few things which would have otherwise gone in the bin. Hope you like it.





Just a matter of 30 minutes!!!

Bee hive flower


I made this flower using bee-hive technique. Since this was my first attempt, I was extremely happy with the effort that I had put in. 



Beautiful!


The Card


3 d Quilling


I wanted to quill a girl with a cute little bunny. This was half made few months back but I was somehow not able to complete it. Finally, made up my mind and gave it a final shot. Quilling those little carrots was fun.

Completed finally!!!

Best out of waste!!!


Wall-Decor.


I had few boxes filled with goodies that I received during Diwali .This is how I used one of them to create something Indian..very Indian..This particular box had a beautiful laced border . Could'nt throw it away. So, just came up with an idea which everybody appreciated. 
   
I did not spend a single penny on this. No extra efforts put in, just a pair of scissors ,some creativity and the magic is done.




Cut a square shape in the centre of the lid so that it looked like a frame. 



A metal  ornament my mom bought for me from Madhya Pradesh (Central India).




Just rested the cardboard frame on the nail...




This elegant piece now decorates a wall in my house .
