Inside pages are made up of single 12 by 12 inches page(Itsybitsy handmade paper).I used different methods to make tags.

Easter Bunny card

Hi Friends,

I love making cards but I always ask a question to myself whenever I start a new card project..that..why have people stopped sending cards and giving cards now a days..I feel so good to give a handmade card to friends/family and kids on their special day...and love when my loved ones give me cards too...:-).
Would love to hear your view on this..

So here is a card totally inspired by Kristina werner's tutorial..
Lots of things into this card:First of all I have used vellum and stamped the sentiment on it.Then stamped the bamboo leaves on half of the card.Decorated the edges with scallop and plain card stock.Added pattern paper on other part or card and also behind the vellum.Then added my fav part..a quilled bunny eating carrot.
Hope you like it..

After a long time-Quilling

Hi friends,

Very happy to share with you all ...I am a part of ICR DT...it's an honor to  be a part of such a nice platform.
I was so lost in stamping,cardmaking that quilling was left behind..but then I decided that I should do some quilling..so here's what I have made.





Since I learnt  few techniques with Versamark..I used it in as watermark design on this handmade photo frame background.The paper I have used here is Itsy Bitsy handmade paper .Then on the photo frame too I have used the same technique.The frame is from Itsy Bitsy ,I just made it with foam adhesive and some acetate.I used an off white color doily and stamped it with bamboo leaves and dd some distressing.Sentiment is half handwritten and half stamped.
Decorated with some pearls and scalloped edge .One more thing which have experimented here is ,I have used pollens for my quilled flowers and distressed the punched leaves.
Hope you like it!
