Tried Something New :)

Friends how is New Year Resolution working for you. For this year I have set up few rules for myself and strictly following them as well

• No online Game (stopped playing farmville)
• Will improve on my coloring images (already started)
• Buy a paper trimmer
• Will buy few punches
• Glue Gun

Thats it :). In dec last year I had a long discussion with Tejal regarding coloring images and lots more. Since then I am trying hard for that, really hard as art was never been my favorite subject. 

This card I started with Tejal's card and end up with this. My image coloring was not up to the mark the way I thought. So a flower image was downloaded and printed. I colored a bit with the help of gel pens.

Glued them with foam tape to give a 3-D effect. As soon as my happy new year sentiment printed out printer stopped working :(. Ink got over. That is hand cut and handwritten.

Card has been sent to my first crafter friend, she is very generous and humble. Never got bored or irritated with my detailed questioning and the one who asked me to open this blog. Really love her.

This is my first attempt in making layered card, coloring a image and using gel pen. 


Please leave your comments and tell me areas where I can improve.
