Now that every thing is settled I got back to crafting...

Yesterday I made few cards for Diwali...

I know its a bit late but still....  :)

The base is emossed with stars embossing folder from itsy-bitsy... 

The Kandeels are made with Stained Glass embossing folders, 3mm green satin ribbons & golden 3D outliner... .

The kandeels are adhered with foam tape to give them some dimension..

 The frame is made with victorian square dies.. & the border is stamped with golden ink & Green ribbon is added above it...
 Red Double Sided Tape was used to adhere the Green Ribbon on the red CS.

Lord Ganesha is hand sketched & then outlined with golden 3D outliner.

 The Diyas are hand cut & then I used golden 3D outliner to decorate it...

The border is made with tile punch & Gold trim with sequins...
 Red Double Sided Tape was used to adhere the Gold Trim on the red CS.

Hand Painted Diwali Diya Part I

Diwali is one of the biggest festival of Hindus & it is celebrated with great enthusiasm and happiness. Diwali is popularly known as the "festival of lights". It involves the lighting of small clay lamps ( Diya in Hindi ) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. This year Diwali is on 26th of October and everyone is busy in its preperation.... I bought some plain clay diyas and painted them with different colours and then decorated them with stones and glitter powder. Hope you all like them....
