A NEW BEGINNING...

                  A NEW BEGINNING...

           The sun in the morning is so golden,
            In it the nature's beauty is never forgotten.
           It's magical how each moment passes,
           As night falls,
           River flows,
          Trees tall,
          And the evening glows!!!

          I sit in my small house,
          By the window and peep outside,
            Dreaming,
          Listening to the steady rhythm of my heartbeat,
          Match with the little bird singing.

          I feel the dew as I draw up my face,
          To watch the golden ray surpass the clouds.
          The dew drop touches my right cheek,
          As I try to trace;
         How the night bid it's farewell....
         Only to see a new beginning !!!!

Coffee Themed Card.

I'm a sucker for Tea & Coffee. <3

 
When it comes to Craft shopping and hauling, you'll find a variety of Cofee and Tea themed Stamps, dies, stencils and pattern papers in my stash. Here's one Card I created using all my supplies purchased from Letzcraft.




Supplies used :

▪@darkroom_door Stamp set named "Coffee Time"

▪Wink of Stella

▪@tim_holtz Distress inks . Shades : Vintage photo, tea dye, walnut stain and Rusty Hinge.

▪@letzcraft Cardstock.

▪Brustro watercolour paper.

▪Kaisercraft Pattern paper.

Before I start explaining the process, I want to take this opportunity and really appreciate the designer of the Darkroomdoor Company's Stamp set. Her name is Rachel Greig. What a phenomenal work of putting up a brilliant set. It's just perfect. I will definitely add a photo of the stamp set. From designing to packaging of the stamp set by the Darkroomdoor..... Everything is perfect. I'm excited to share the fact that Letzcraft ( a well-known Craft retail store in India) does sell Darkroomdoor Stamps and one can also preorder using this link: http://www.letzcraft.com/preorders/



Alright, So to begin with

I first took an A2 sized Smooth White Cardstock from Letzcraft and kept it aside.

I used Brustro Water color Paper and Cut it to 4"x 4". Distressed it with Tea dye Ink. And distressed the edges using Vintage Photo. I stamped (at random places), the Coffee Stain Stamp in the shade Walnut Stain ; a Distress Oxide. And did 2nd generation stamping of the coffee beans. Also stamped the sentiment using Black Archival Ink. And for the shimmer on top, used Wink of Stella.

On another sheet of Brustro I stamped the image of the cup and colored it using Distress inks in the shades Vintage photo and Rusty Hinge...... Again, on top of the filled-up coffee I added a shimmer using Wink of Stella.

The 4x4 piece I adhered to a Kaisercraft Pattern paper and distressed the edges with Vintage photo.

I also fussy cut the cup and placed it below. For the 4x4 Panel (Now layered on pattern paper), I stuck on the A2 sized Card-base using Foam Tape.

And for the cup, I had to double up the foam to give an extra boost to the raise and so that it sits properly on the left hand corner where it overlaps the 4x4 Panel.

I really enjoyed the whole process of Cardmaking. <3 . Hope you get Inspired. :)

Cards & Mails - Neha Bhatt

Hey Friends !

Let me tell you this, if you're a swapper,  you will nod your head in 100 % agreement that coming home from work to a happy mail is the best feeling in the world !!!!

Neha Bhatt ( known crafter and DT member of Letzcraft) is one of the finest,most humble and down to earth human being I've ever come across.

Being a swapper, I like ... sorry LOVE to collect different Craft projects made by other people. It makes me appreciate different creative styles and I get to learn a lot about the other person too through swapping.



So I saw one of the Coffee themed cards uploaded by Neha Bhatt and I instantly had to buy it !! (yes, I'm a beverage fan.... coffee tops the list!). Neha and I exchanged a good few fun texts and learnt a few things about each other the day I ordered for that particular card. :)

And when I came home from work yesterday evening, there laid a sweet enveloped package for me. I had smiles all over my face when I opened the package (wait till you see the pictures) ....... I marveled at how she remembered the fact that I love to read, how she figured I love to Journal everyday. Her gifts that accompanied the GORGEOUS Card made me feel super special.



That's why I decided to not contain my happiness and instead share it with you guys.

Hope you enjoy the work through the pictures I'm sharing .<3

Happy day everyone.

xoxo,

Jayana.
