Madhubani Elephant - Mithila painting

Hello friends,

Sharing a madhubani elephant that I made recently. This is my first attempt at making a madhubani elephant. I started with making the border and elephant black and white. Was thinking of keeping this in black and white, but then filled the white space with orange water color and did a bharni style painting on it. Loved the outcome.

Pop up flower bouquet card

Hello dear crafty friends. Apologies for being away for such a long time, but I think I am back to my love of blogging!

For the last year I was super busy in a personal excellence training organized by y organization. It is a complete transformation program targeting your inner core beliefs to your behaviour, dreams aspirations. It was awesome to be part of it :)

Taking you to todays card. I made this pop up bouquet card for little missy on her demand when she fell sick last year!

She said when someone is not well, at least they should get a "get well soon" card to cheer them up. So my horses started running!  And then she is so much fascinated by pop ups that a normal card would not be that exciting.  

Do let me know how you liked this card, would love to hear from you after such a looong time!
