Hi friends,

As, today is the last day of the year and this being my last post for the year, I want to Thank all my bloggy friends and peeps for all the love, support and comments that you always leave for me :) I really, really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Today I am sharing with you, three of my projects which I have made for my Guest Design post for the Rainbow Craftykari store. I have shared these projects along with the detailed tutorial on Maninder's blog. So, if you want to check it out, HERE's the link for it.
Maninder sent me a mixed kit of some gorgeous mulberry flowers, re-inkers, Ultra Thick embossing enamel in gold, cardstocks, pattern papers and various other embellishments as well, and the focus for this month was on how to create backgrounds using Re-inkers and embossing using Gold UTEE!

So, here's a look :-

Hiya friends ,
So I know its been Rrrrrrreally long since I last posted on my blog ....Hmmm atleast a 2 month long break !! Well, what can I say. I really really got busy after my vacation and I just wasn't creating anything new that I could share. But then I got this opportunity to be a part of this fantastic BLOG HOP hosted by the Lulupu Team and I am really very happy to be here now sharing my project with you all :)

Then do check it out HERE  :)                                                                        

And here's a list of the participating blog's :

You must have come here from the very talented and artistic Pratiksha's blog. If not please do check out her blog here. And  here's a look at my card for the 'Cook it up' challenge. I have used 3 ingredients from the cook it up challenge in my card (Pattern Paper,Diecuts/Punches,Embellishments).                                                      

And just because I can't resist, here's another look :                                                                          

And guess what, I also made a coordinating box in which to mail this card. I always make dimensional cards and mailing them in envelope's is not an option for me so I made this box in which to send this card. Check it out :                                                  

  This is a standing view of the box with the card inside. I am sorry for the bad pictures the light was really not good when I clicked my pictures :(                                                                                     

I hope you like my card and co-ordinating box. Do let me know your reviews regarding it, I really look forward to all your comments/suggestions :)
