Good morning friends!!
   Pon Malar here today for the Day 5 of Papericious & Mudra Blog Hop. Don't forget to check the lovely works of our creative team as part of the blog hop :)

• Day 1 ~ Gayatri Viswanathan
• Day 2 ~ Kavitha
• Day 3 ~ Riswana Fathima
• Day 4 ~ Shalini

     I'm happy & excited to be a part of this blog hop & to play along. And I love both Mudra stamps & Papericious collection. I always end up hoarding the pattern paper from Papericious; this is the first time I'm actually using them for crafting, he he ;) 

     I made 6 cards using Papericious pattern papers & Mudra stamps. And here they are....

♥ Birthday Shaker card 

• I used Mi Estilo & Pretty Basics pattern papers & sentiment is from Brushed stamp set. 
• Made a two tiered shaker cake with metal balls & adhered it to a pattern paper.
• Reversed the pattern papers for candles & the flame is hand drawn. 
• Heat embossed the sentiment in white & put them all together. 

♥ Happy girls are Prettiest 

• Used Mi Estilo pattern paper & background is done using Flourish Pattern stamp set.
• Fussy cut the elements from Mi Estilo pattern paper.
• Sponged distress ink on a white card stock & stamped Flourish Pattern repeatedly & heat embossed using clear EP for the background. 

• Adhered the elements using foam tape, added few rhinestones & applied glossy accents on the bottles to give a glass finish!!

♥ CAS Floral card

• Used Pretty Basics pattern paper & Sentiment Essentials stamp set.
• Stamped the flower & leaves using pigment ink & heat embossed with clear EP. 

• Did the same with the sentiment & adhered the flower & leaves using foam squares. 

♥ Dazzling Zinnia & Weaved basket

• Used Pretty Basics pattern paper & Sentiment Essentials and Zinnia stamp sets.
• Stamped & heat embossed the Zinnia using gold embossing powder.
• Used Inka gold in gold to water color the flowers.
• Here comes the fun part, I used some inexpensive markers to color the watercolored flowers. (Don't use expensive ones as the golden pigments may spoil the tip!!) The shimmer is just stunning :) 

• Weaved the basket using strips of Pretty Basics pattern paper.
• Put them all together with a fussy cut sentiment.

♥ Gate fold Dad card

• Used The Gentleman pattern paper & The man stamp set.
• It was an inspiration from a video by Dawn's stamping thoughts & used it to make a Dad's card. 
• Since I don't have die cut machines, I measured & cut the base card which came out pretty good I think ;) 
• Actually as a late thought, I have planned to add a photo of my dad on the stamped panel :) 

♥ Iris folding dress

• Used Mi Estilo & Pretty Basics pattern papers.
• I drew the dress on a pattern paper & fussy cut it using a knife. 
• Used strips of pattern paper to finish the dress using Iris folding technique.

• Added few embellishments to finish my card :)

And that completes my marathon post!! Sorry about the long post friends; but I just couldn't help myself :D

Stay tuned for the next blog hop post.

♥♥ Dream, Create, Inspire ♥♥

Love,

Pon Malar.
