Welcoming our New DT Pratiksha Sanghani!!

Hiya!!, 

       Priya here, just popping in to introduce our new DT!!Yes we have one more addition to our Design team from Jan!!  Her style is so versatile and she gets comfortable with any style so easily! So glad, she is coming on board..Welcome Pratiksha!! Over to her!!

I'm Pratiksha from Hyderabad. I'm married to a wonderful man who has been nothing but supportive ever since i began crafting :) Its his insistence that i do something which i enjoy that has me where i stand today :) My 4 year old is my sunshine and my best critic who always says "this is beautiful mamma, verrrry pretty! :)" 

I started my craft journey over a year after i took a quilling class. While looking online for new quilling techniques, I happened upon stamping, die cutting and more! There was no looking back for me after that and quilling just didnt seem enough! I started stamping cautiously :) My buying of my BIG SHOT was the final step of the ladder :) I am now hooked to stamping, die cutting and their various techniques and products :) Altering items is my new found love. And I've discovered that I have no specific style and am extremely experiment friendly! :)

I have had a short journey into blogland with my blog being just 6 months old :) and hope to have a long crafty journey ahead! :)

Our Dt Poornima decided to stun us with her lovely shadow box card this time. She used picked raspberry fired brick,mowed lawn,shabby shutter,vintage photo,walnut stain,spiced marmalade and broken china to color this lovely card. Oh......what an amazing list of colors....all my favorites Poornima :) Though I can't take my eyes off that naughty Odd Girl too. Others supplies used are Hero Arts Blossom flower, Kaiser Kraft butterfly, Memory Box Cherish Branch, Memory Box Madera Corner and Color Box Black Archival ink.

Our dt Tanvi tried her hands on her all time favorite crayon resist technique for inspiration she randomly created a background using distress inks. Stamped over it with versamark to emboss with clear powder. The BG was then colored with black soot to reveal those amazing multicolored flowers.
You have really tempted me to try this now Tanvi!!.



You are truly the best teacher to teach this......thanks for such a lovely inspiration  :)



Here is what Khushboo came up with her inspiration for this month.
Heat Embossing!!
So simple.....yet so elegant !!
Isn't it??
She used  Technique Tuesday stamps....life is good and loving words with spiced marmalade,peeled paint and broken china distress inks.




Here is Priya's inspiration using crumbled distressed paper technique using Cheery lynn gear border die, Cheery lynn gears die, Memory box cycle, Darice Argyle embossing folder, distress ink - peacock feather, broken china, barn door, Fired Brick.



Love Birds...Another one by Priya using Mustard seed, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door, Memory box woodland branch, IO birds die, Hero Arts Blooming meadows, Pewter zing embossing powder black, colorbox pigment black with heat embossing technique
Fabulous Priya!!



And here is mine...
As you all know I started my journey of inking along with paper quilling. You have always wondered what color strips I use for my quilled flowers...... its all done with distress inks. I think none of my project is without these amazing inks.


Do you remember this project. This was my first big project. Look at the lilies and small fringed carnations.....all inked !!





Look deeply at all the projects above. Don't you think colors add a zing and gives new life to all images. Sunrise....sunset....flowers in spring bloom of reds, oranges and purples are all music to my eyes. My list of colors goes on and on. Colors are the beauty of God's mind. I can feel music and rhythm in every shade. For me, the world would be silent without colors. 

Correct me....if i m wrong anywhere.



JUST FEEL AN ARTIST IN YOU !!



I think i have inspired you enough to give it a try.
 
So what are you waiting for??

Grab your favorite colors..... and spread your wings high!!! 

Let your creativity fly...!!
