What a fun!

Here comes Diwali - Festival of Lights

I made these diyas as a gift for Diwali to my relatives. These are floating diyas. 

Everything is available in market right from diyas, foam material which will help diya to float, to all sorts of kundan(though they are of plastic material) 

These are the bags to pack diays.

 I made this rangoli for my home. I am thinking of combinig thes with the real Sanskar Bharti Rangoli.

I hope it will look great.

A gift to someone you love

This photo frame was made for My daughter(Pari)'s favorite teacher. 

The frame is readymade from Sanskriti Arts.

The paper bag template is taken from http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/2_5_7_10_box/

by Jenn Balcer. 

I changed the original dimensions as i needed the bigger bag.

For both bags the punch I used is EK Success's Flower Burst large Edger.

I used the frame template from Inna Dorman's blog.

I just love her work.

Due to her blog I got so much involved in the quilling.

I am in so much love with the color scheme, 

I made the second card for my other friend with the same scheme.

Orange is the favorite colour of my daughters.

 This orange card is for her friend's birthday.

I made this box for my husband on his 34th birthday with ..34 poems

(not by me...but the good love poems I searched on the net)

Each rose is tied by the plastic thread to one letter.

These roses are kept in places using magnet and tiny iron balls.

I did spiral roses and paper folded roses for the box.

That gorgeous paper is from Venus Traders, Pune.

Beautiful daughters

Daughter is a creation by God

placed in the arms of a woman

to raise up, love, nurture and treasure as a friend.

Daughters are angels sent from above 

to fill our heart with unending love.

Daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.

Daughters are like flowers:

They fill the world with beauty.

A daughter is a little girl who 

grows up to be a friend.

A daughter may outgrow your lap, 

but she will never outgrow your heart.

A daughter is the happy memories of the past,

the joyful memories of the present

and the hope and promise of the future.

To have a daughter is to find a place 

deep in your heart that misses her

whenever you have to be apart

Little garden in the box

 This box including that mosaic work is made by my husband with meticulous precision

 This is 4 x 4 inches side step card fitted in the box.

Ganapati bappa moraya

  I made this for my husband. I wanted to achieve the Marble inlay work effect using quilling.

I have used Royal flower technique and husking technique for the inlay work.

All the strips used are of 3mm size.

I have made the folded roses again with 3mm strip to decorate the entrance.
