Exactly 10 days left to wind up our holiday in India, and to get back to our home in Macau. I feel deprived of my crafting!! Nevertheless, I have tried to make couple of cards with the bare minimum supplies I have on my hand here in my holiday home. If you had seen my last post, you would know that I have only purple textured card stock and a blue card stock only, so I chose purple to do these cards, and I finished the purple card stock - no more , only blue left!
The first one up is a very simple card, I just stamped the sentiment from my custom made stamps here, and stitched some stripes! Yes, my daughter's hobby kit came in handy for the embroidery threads :) i am one of those moms who buy plenty of books and hobby kits for my kids, LOL never thought that I was going to use any of those!
I chose black and pink to do the stitching.
Very satisfied with the card!
Piercing holes for stitching was a huge challenge, as I don't have anything to pierce a hole without ruining the card stock. I have a tiny scissorshere, which I used to trim the card stocks too, so I used the same scissors to carefully pierce some holes on the card *phew*
My daughter's hobby kit, which came in handy for me :)

I had stitched some stripes, and kept the look really clean too!

The second one I up cycled some images from some old books, and stamped the sentiment, I stamped in an inclined way to go with the butterfly hands! I used my daughter's black marker to color around on the butterfly image.
Its a super simple card!

If I was in my home, I would have used the STAMPlorations stamp, but I still want to play with this humble card here :)

Thank you

feedback :) Have a great day!
Well done with limited resources, the view from your window looks very tropical with the palms, not what I was imagining at all. By the way what is the bloke doing on the roof?
ReplyDeleteHaha Julie, that bloke is my teenager son, who is utterly bored here. We went on the roof top to spot a rainbow, since it was both rainy and sunny at once. No worries! We have extended roof beyond where he is walking, in case you are wondering ;)
