Not my usual style...

Posted by Karuna on 9/08/2011 03:23:00 PM


Yep this isn’t really my style and something very new i tried. But I have been looking at my left over wedding cards for over 9 months now and it was high time I do something with them!

It was fun cutting every bit to get the most from the pretty cardstock :) Trust there was hardly anything left after my dissection!

I kept the design minimal. One card with the Ganesh God image is for Diwali (Festival of Indian) while the other has handmade flowers without a sentiment. I just didn’t feel like adding anymore I guessJ. This is a quick post. :) Will be back with more soon!

I am also entering this card for:

365 Cards - So not me

The Cheerful Stamp pad - Lets Resuse

Craft your Passion - Anything Goes (With Flowers)

Crafty Creations - Anything But a Square

Freshly Brewed - Something New

Do more with Less - Recycle

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Supplies: Elle Err Fabriano, Kaisercraft crystal brads, MS Classic Butterfly punch,
recycled wedding invite



Supplies: Elle Err Fabriano, Gold Permanent marker, Cuttlebug Lable 1 Die-cut,
recycled wedding invite



This is the original wedding invite:)


Cheers!

    Oh... both the cards are so pretty! Even I have started collecting cards after I started paper crafting.. I loveeee the paper of such cards... So ethnic and stunning... Since my parents lives in different city, I keep asking my mother to keep the wedding card whenever she gets... :D
