    Hello friends,



    So this is what happens whenever I buy fruits, most of the time some parts of them ended up in my crafts room :D They are actually Melon fruits skin which I peeled, cleaned up, and sun-dried. When they seemed to be ready to use, I dyed them with liquid food color and soaked them for a few days. After that, I removed them and put them under the sun for a few more days. The skin is quite stiff to be used but they would look crinkle and crisp :D

    Anyway, I tightened them together so they would look like a flower bouquet and added some floral hand drawing doodle and sentiment stamp "Precious One". Well, even trash can be precious sometimes :)

    This card is my entry for the following challenges:

    The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Flowers as the focus

    Lemon Short Bread Challenge - Anything Goes #147

    Thank you for reading my post. 

    Take care! :)

     Hello friends,

    I hope you are doing well and in good health. As we are all aware that this pandemic situation has changed most of our lives completely. Some of us have lost their loved ones due to the virus, others lost their income and jobs (this happens to me too :) and sadly none of us know when this bad condition will be over.



    However, although this is a very tough situation for all of us, it is very important to keep our spirit and fill our minds with positive thoughts. I'm making this black card using recycled paper with florals patterns and put a sentiment sticker with a word "Smile". Simply I just want to say that even in the dark moments, we must not lose hopes. Thus, hopefully will give us the strength to carry on with our lives no matter how bad the situation is right now. 

    I submit my cards to below challenge blogs:

    The Paper Funday Challenge - Challenge #29 Anything Goes with Twist Flower / Floral

    The Creative Crafter - Challenge #40 Anything Goes

    Creative Fingers - Challenge #208 Anything Goes


    May God will protect us and hopefully things will get better soon. Amen.

    Thank you for reading my post and Sending you virtual warm hugs :)

    Love,
    Ika

    Hellooo, 
     
    Hope everyone is in good health! 
    Today I want to upload one of my card with "cold" theme.



    I know this is not winter time.. But the reason I made this card simply because I found these dry pine leaf just laying on my drawer for years :D Then I put them all on a blank white card stock. I thought it would looked good with white background. So I decided to colour the leaves using Posca marker and put some dots on the card which made it looked like snow :D

    I put a lyric from a song (which I googled :D) which I thought would fit in with the card theme. Well, it's so simple design but I think I like the result though hahahah..


    Anyway, this is my entry for below challenges:

    CASology Week #309 - Outside
    Crafts Galore Encore  Challenge #87 Anything Goes
    A Perfect Time to Craft  Challenge #5-2021



    Thank you for reading my post. See you soon everyone! :)

    Hellooo peeps :)

    Today I want to upload my new handmade greeting card. Another simple style, of course, hehe...

    I made an envelope inspired by the CAS Challenge this week, and I used a pink color inspired by the Card Concept Challenge (below is the photo and link to the challenge).

    Just so you know, I made the envelope out of my remaining tea bag, which had been dyed with food coloring. Instead of throwing it away, I just use it for my craft projects. As for the sentiment and the insert message, I only use my handwriting and draw simple doodles. That's all :)



    Color inspiration from the Card Concept Challenge


    So the above card I made is for my entry at the below challenges:

    #383 Envelope - CASology
    #148 Sweetheart Sweets—The Card Concept
    #489 Anything Goes—Penny's Challenge
    #2-2021 - A Perfect Time to Craft
    #84 Anything Goes - Crafts Galore Encore
    #55 Anything Goes - Love to Craft Challenge

     Watch how I created this card in the below video:



    Thank you for stopping by! Take care and stay healthy :)

    Hugs, Ika

    Helloo everyone,

    In this rainy day I'm going to upload another simple greeting card :) I'm using black buttons as embellishment and hand written sentiment.

    These black buttons are actually mean as silhouette and honestly I totally forgot to create a background layer so hopefully this does not look so plain :)


    This is my entry for the following challenges:

    #182 One Layer and Optional Twist Silhouette - AAA Cards
    #509 Anything Goes - Fab and Funky
    Week beginning 2nd Feb 2021 - Through the Craft Room Door


    Thank you for stopping by here! Take care and Stay Healthy :)
