Popcorn granny square crochet blanket

Crochet Popcorn granny square blanket

It's been a reallyyyy long time since I posted something in my blog space . Am here today with my new addiction -crochet. It is my favorite  timepass nowadays . I did  learn crochet after coming to USA and this is the third blanket I made . Also i Have tried several hats and scarves which I will post in future posts.

Inspired by this Video tutorial  I made 108 granny squares and joined them all with single crochet . I  Used 4mm Bernat baby sport yarn in color ECRU and orange yarn from Pat catans( local craft  store in our area)

This blanket consumed two balls of 350g Bernat baby sport and two pounds of orange yarn with 9 columns and 12 rows .
Hook size 5.5mm

watercolor card

Good afternoon !!!

A very quick post on water color effect I tried for a challenge. After so many failure attempts I made this.

Incorporated masking technique and distressed with distress inks. Then sprayed some water with mini mister and used small brush to get the above effect .

Have a rainy day!!!!

Hope everyone is having good time enjoying this pleasant climate.!! These rainy days reminds me of my childhood days where I used to play in rain...But now
whenever it rains I used to watch it from the window thinking of those good old days.
Having that in mind I created this card

The actual stamp was like a girl holding a star . Using masking technique I stamped this girl without that star and added  this hand drawn umbrella . 

By spraying water I created the water effect at the bottom .

Paper Quilting !!

Tried this quilting technique with patterned papers today and am satisfied with the results. Used some of my scraps to create this card.

I did not like to decorate this card much so kept it very simple . Hope you like it:)

Masculine Card

Hi!!!
        A quick post on masculine card! A very simple and CAS type card that I made today.

Created landscape with distress inks. Thought of getting a scattered clouds effect with blue distress ink, but i didnot succeed :( Hand drawn the golf stick and colored it. Placed a half pearl for golf ball. And stamped the sentiment .

Braided ribbon tag

Hi all,
       
Happened to see  ribbon braided headband tutorial in YouTube. It was an excellent technique and wanted to try it immediately. The outcome was gorgeous and that's when I thought to implement that somewhere in lulupu bingo challenge. Here is the result.......

Took ribbons, patterned papers,chipboard grid to create this simple tag.

 

Those flowers and leaves were handmade without any punches or dies. A very simple tag. Hope you like it

Simple pop up card

Good evening !!

               Had fun making this pop up card. Even though it is very easy to make I found it difficult to decorate the card. I did not decorate much ,as the pop up mechanism is the center of attraction.

Those flowers were made without any punches . stamped butterflies and fussy cut to decorate. Placed my favorite stamp and die cut in the center and finished this card .
