My first experiment with distress inks !!

Hello Friends..

This is my first experiment with distress inks.. And ya.. I thoroughly enjoyed it.. Have embossed the background and have distressed it with the inks, fired brick and scattered straw :) :)

The flower and pollen are completely handmade with punch craft.. :) :)

This is the side view of the card.. !!

Hope you all liked it.. Do drop in your comments.. I would love to read them :)

My First Explosion Card..!!

This is a concept that I have been longing to make from a very long time.. And finally was able to make it..

This I made for one of my school friend's fiancee... Was soo happy to see the outcome.. This is one of my favorite color combinations..

She did love it a lot.. :) :) Let me know your thoughts on this too :)

This is the outside view of the explosion card.. Looks like a gift box !!

A closer look at the lid of the box.. Have embellished them with handmade roses, blossoms and lovely hearts.. :) :) 

This is how the explosion box opens up.. The box now opens flat and you can write your personalized message all over the four flaps.. The center can be used to stick on any goody :) :)

 
Hope you all liked my new creation.. Would love to read what each of you think about this !!
