<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made my 1st money envelop for Rakshabandhan, which is on 2nd Aug (a Hindu festival for siblings, where sister ties a decorated thread called Rakhi on her brother's wrist, as a symbol of responsibility that she bestows on him to protect her and in return, he showers her with money/gifts/sweets,etc for this homour).</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made this for myself, to it give to my Mom, who will load it with cash and hand it to my younger brother to give it to me. (YES! :-D)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I started by cutting out the shape of the envelop on an orange chart paper. On the front of the envelop, I printed a peacock stencil and then hand cut it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">On the inside of envelop, I pasted green and golden Chinese silk paper. Before pasting it inside, I spread golden glitter on the backside of the Chinese paper(the side peeping from the peacock).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I choose very Indian festive colors and as peacock is India's national bird and is associated with feminine beauty, it made sense to choose it, instead of any other stencil for the occasion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For my 1st month-a-versary with my husband (then boyfriend) in Dec 2010, I didn't want to give him anything personal (watch, shirt, perfume,etc), as we were dating only for a month, so I decided to buy him PSP video games. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But, as I love wrapping my gift in a special way, I couldn't just hand over the games in regular wrapping, so I created this gift bag for him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4Woou_kzpv46PzUYy5vsAakL5UUmsGfOoyJ3E6QRIs4Izx7589UHEo2tOwnFggAzeb2wdyRhI8YgOVXtU6h6G0eQMhq_azxCeDaiM7Jas5CpuXkk5BVd8eWKwQ1975mcDAK1ylO51hM2/s1600/God+Of+War+&+Logan's+Shadow+Paper+Bag+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4Woou_kzpv46PzUYy5vsAakL5UUmsGfOoyJ3E6QRIs4Izx7589UHEo2tOwnFggAzeb2wdyRhI8YgOVXtU6h6G0eQMhq_azxCeDaiM7Jas5CpuXkk5BVd8eWKwQ1975mcDAK1ylO51hM2/s400/God+Of+War+&+Logan's+Shadow+Paper+Bag+1.JPG" width="302" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQHm49LAEFSfKGTHqrnbSfcqzL-fPMjjs-Ewx_JAmjqET6MyACZyhXXhQeZAHRlX3-waOvWKCRygP7ZJMgGX8bC2tJFYOkQO8rUW9bF6-AxcwtpwDSSkENmAx66FFIJDiOYWXJz0bOzfN/s1600/God+Of+War+&+Logan's+Shadow+Paper+Bag+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I gave him 3 games - God of War (Ghost of Sparta), Dante's Inferno and Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow (I have no idea what they are about, but his best friend helped me pick them up). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7Vo8xrS46GYgqdW1AxEVluDYJ3aNghqoexkBaS7BTFaRblXQsbTyJQ6PZGoLx-TVi0A56dJopL0Z04YLbVACACNAen5MzHuyREgHDYagk7_s3ycq8OYLJpuXbytQk6BVcYcZcgQuato6/s1600/Close+up.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7Vo8xrS46GYgqdW1AxEVluDYJ3aNghqoexkBaS7BTFaRblXQsbTyJQ6PZGoLx-TVi0A56dJopL0Z04YLbVACACNAen5MzHuyREgHDYagk7_s3ycq8OYLJpuXbytQk6BVcYcZcgQuato6/s400/Close+up.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I chose the pictures from the video game and made the below image to make the bag with.</span>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglcYSyt0qojGCd8gqJFgcCDg1kZkQkCFeC-n3KNPl7XlyOpyM3opkpYLTGeN_5mLYNqK1vCpLNUKsbM1XfV_nhvQireKY3yukeW_p7PGweR9eOW1KU3NrCSDRYEaklfPaWipbZxADWfqmL/s1600/God+Of+War+&+Logan's+Shadow+Paper+Bag+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglcYSyt0qojGCd8gqJFgcCDg1kZkQkCFeC-n3KNPl7XlyOpyM3opkpYLTGeN_5mLYNqK1vCpLNUKsbM1XfV_nhvQireKY3yukeW_p7PGweR9eOW1KU3NrCSDRYEaklfPaWipbZxADWfqmL/s400/God+Of+War+&+Logan's+Shadow+Paper+Bag+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I, then colour printed the image and folded it into a bag. </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the handle, I chose blue, black and white satin ribbon and braided them into a string, punched holes in the bag and tied the string on the inside.</span>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB9y2BUTb4TcliSFGBo-AXA0Rw3xZ_WgS6DsP4JG7qlNvyOorH99ZCIVRako7Q0r-BLPIhgAo6iBAjb8k90fUh-8jpSQMPhFfOeNUCueWzH4M6iwY6ltV7cvfjHoyCqyTD1l6jqxe41U7J/s1600/God+Of+War+&+Logan's+Shadow+Paper+Bag+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB9y2BUTb4TcliSFGBo-AXA0Rw3xZ_WgS6DsP4JG7qlNvyOorH99ZCIVRako7Q0r-BLPIhgAo6iBAjb8k90fUh-8jpSQMPhFfOeNUCueWzH4M6iwY6ltV7cvfjHoyCqyTD1l6jqxe41U7J/s400/God+Of+War+&+Logan's+Shadow+Paper+Bag+2.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">His reaction: He was clearly more intrigued by the games, than the gift bag!!! (Men will never change)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But I am still glad I made it, and I am posting this on his B'day today, to let him know that I appreciate the support he gives for my craft (even though he didn't pay attention to the bag then).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, here is the 1st one, its for my DIL, its<b> <span style="color: blue;">a 3D decoupage picture</span></b> that I created, </span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">it captures various moments that dad's and son's share, like shaving, fishing, playing guitar, cycling, sports, graduation and the largest black and white picture is of a baby holding his dad's finger and it says "everything I owe, is to you dad..."; my husband will be giving this, I hope my DIL likes it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Its not framed yet, as my DIL </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">isn't</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> in town and I have time to get it framed (thanks GOD for that!!)</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The next two are for my friends's dad's, the 1st one is <span style="color: blue;"><b>a folding desktop card</b>.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It carries the a large polaroid photo, which in turn has 4 different polaroid photos, which shows a boy holding his dad's hand and over looking the horizon. The card says "In all life's shades, you are still with me...HAPPY FATHER's DAY". The same picture is on the backside as well. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The idea to create this photo came from the word "POP" and I decided to do a POP art card with Polaroid effect.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My younger brother, Vikram graduated from Business School last month, and just last week was the Graduation Ceremony.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For this occasion, I wanted to gift him something special and more importantly, I wanted to wrap it in college/graduation themed gift wrap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, keeping in mind the theme, I gift wrapped the gift I got him (Boston Legal All Seasons DVD pack) in this wrapping.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Its a black paper Graduation Hat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I started by making a box with a lid for the DVD pack. Its a regular box made by wrapping the paper around the pack.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The HAT is made of the same paper, I used a square piece of paper (almost double the size of the box's base) and scored it along the black dotted line and folded and pasted the paper along the white dotted line to make a smaller square piece.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the lid of the HAT was dried, I hand made the blue tassel with some spare satin string available at home (will show how I made it in my future post) and pasted it with the help of plastic black button.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yesterday was my best friend's theme b'day party, the theme was "funky head and eye wear". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The minute I heard about the theme, I was reminded of <a href="http://increations.blogspot.in/2012/05/quilled-mask-and-hairpin-for-homemade.html" style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;" target="_blank">Inna's</a> quilled owl mask that she made for her daughters, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and how inspired I was to make something on my own to wear to a party.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The idea stemmed from my love for Scotch and that I consider myself KING (yes, not queen). So, I combined the two and made these Paper Whisky Crowns for myself (pink) and my husband (green).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I started by picking up images of some of my favorite Scotch, a Whisky glass(with the rocks!) and to add ZING to the crown, I added a silhouette of a pole dancer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here are the crowns laid flat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I grouped all the images together and used coloring tools to give them green and pink tint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here is the image I made before adding the tint.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTQB0sRp4Jy6F9SUNHlbp4jU3bpM_fjhLwntTHyOIEwBxku4yEX7zewK0Bp6Q095m7VdsvjUD8WE8_v628lWvxLyGtiNaatJcI4dTUuWpddKR97VYf-DnLaj27hZCxvCy9GiOWyv1Ww632/s1600/Orignal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTQB0sRp4Jy6F9SUNHlbp4jU3bpM_fjhLwntTHyOIEwBxku4yEX7zewK0Bp6Q095m7VdsvjUD8WE8_v628lWvxLyGtiNaatJcI4dTUuWpddKR97VYf-DnLaj27hZCxvCy9GiOWyv1Ww632/s400/Orignal.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now comes the printing part, if I had printed the image without any image on the back, the backside would have been white and would have spoilt the look, so I inverted the image and pasted it below the original one. Take a look at the picture below to understand what I did</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii9vkcwPnvm3S-AGpHw5pc4kLAINzsBDBN6wxrc4-rjch6WTCjFs2IGB65zrUzBoSk9JpghMyDT9kyDQeWkZULmVCRX0wTj-ORGgXuBCNd7vKjhkqEYOaVhyNsogKUsGgUpXSai4czxVjN/s1600/Picture1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii9vkcwPnvm3S-AGpHw5pc4kLAINzsBDBN6wxrc4-rjch6WTCjFs2IGB65zrUzBoSk9JpghMyDT9kyDQeWkZULmVCRX0wTj-ORGgXuBCNd7vKjhkqEYOaVhyNsogKUsGgUpXSai4czxVjN/s400/Picture1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the images was ready, I color printed the them (2 copies of each) and hand cut the extra black and white part of the paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I managed to take one picture of the process of cutting, here it is. You can see that, I have only cut the top of the images till the next one starts and not gone all the way down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAN7_Yf7_Nt5WynI2P5Fl4LJ4yYhFdek2qHOaMeAoLJOgdM2qi1kEvsmtFb3CGnK7JBzcckGfmhGKPUnCPJGMd4NmwWtLek4CbrnoRN5Umec8b9x7xmtfwJ5VYVbXXZVYc_BbghybU1DUb/s1600/Picture4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAN7_Yf7_Nt5WynI2P5Fl4LJ4yYhFdek2qHOaMeAoLJOgdM2qi1kEvsmtFb3CGnK7JBzcckGfmhGKPUnCPJGMd4NmwWtLek4CbrnoRN5Umec8b9x7xmtfwJ5VYVbXXZVYc_BbghybU1DUb/s400/Picture4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the images were cut, I folded the below image (image with inverted Scotch names) and pasted it behind the main image (the one with actual names). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As mentioned earlier, I took 2 copies of each image, so now to make one long single piece, I pasted them </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">together and punched a hole on either sides and added a woolen black string, to use it to tie the crowns.</span></div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M1zatUUf1AY/T8DRDTAL4mI/AAAAAAAACL0/nYYv65CjvYk/s1600/Playmate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M1zatUUf1AY/T8DRDTAL4mI/AAAAAAAACL0/nYYv65CjvYk/s320/Playmate.jpg" width="237" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, I made a 3D Decoupage of it, as I love making 3D Decoupage, this is my 2nd one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They are easy to make and bring inanimate things to life.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o3iBjr7ivA4/T8DRdyt-j8I/AAAAAAAACL8/EVgOtdBzt5M/s1600/100_1999.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o3iBjr7ivA4/T8DRdyt-j8I/AAAAAAAACL8/EVgOtdBzt5M/s400/100_1999.JPG" width="301" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used coloring tool to change the color of the original photograph to Duo tone and also added a small playboy bunny to the picture and then color printed it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XJWf76n-gr4/T8DSnjtxlhI/AAAAAAAACME/bOeivCk1CZ0/s1600/100_1997.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XJWf76n-gr4/T8DSnjtxlhI/AAAAAAAACME/bOeivCk1CZ0/s400/100_1997.JPG" width="272" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hand cut the playboy bunnies (small yellow one and the large black one, which is the model's swim suit). I then pasted these hand cut bunnies on the photograph. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h7vE5XUpV9I/T8DUAEnlwUI/AAAAAAAACMM/wvtHhOmnZm8/s1600/100_1998.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h7vE5XUpV9I/T8DUAEnlwUI/AAAAAAAACMM/wvtHhOmnZm8/s400/100_1998.JPG" width="276" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once both the pieces were dried, I pasted the entire photograph on a card board (you can see how bad I'm at pasting with creases on the photograph, this is cause of excess glue used).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qP18X2k1Eh4/T8DWmV7d4wI/AAAAAAAACMc/rgyQpIOsb3w/s1600/100_2000.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qP18X2k1Eh4/T8DWmV7d4wI/AAAAAAAACMc/rgyQpIOsb3w/s400/100_2000.JPG" width="282" /></span></a></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After the card board image was dried, I pasted the blue hand-made paper frame that I made on the photograph.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A7N0DAzCuz0/T8DVh3o_xvI/AAAAAAAACMU/66DVZSKZDxQ/s1600/100_1996.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A7N0DAzCuz0/T8DVh3o_xvI/AAAAAAAACMU/66DVZSKZDxQ/s400/100_1996.JPG" width="271" /></span></a></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally to hang it, I added a small inverted 'V' paper strip on the backside of the frame.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After making my mom a Mother's Day card (posted on 6th May, 12), I decided to make a Mother's Day card for my would-be mother-in-law.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As she is a doctor, I wanted to make something related to her profession and hence I came up with this.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xZkY4ULltyA/T6__CzTLdFI/AAAAAAAACKU/Q648YwusYaU/s1600/100_2035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xZkY4ULltyA/T6__CzTLdFI/AAAAAAAACKU/Q648YwusYaU/s400/100_2035.JPG" width="361" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I found the stethoscope image on the Internet and added the text on my own and created this image for the card. I color printed it on a 5x7in plain paper.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ANYP_bXyu_4/T6__xN-8ITI/AAAAAAAACKc/GABnsfQItPk/s1600/100_2048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ANYP_bXyu_4/T6__xN-8ITI/AAAAAAAACKc/GABnsfQItPk/s400/100_2048.JPG" width="348" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To add depth and texture to the card, I pasted the printed image on a red chart paper.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8J3nCBydOY4/T7AA8DABJgI/AAAAAAAACKk/-fuDE5JWQu0/s1600/100_2049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8J3nCBydOY4/T7AA8DABJgI/AAAAAAAACKk/-fuDE5JWQu0/s400/100_2049.JPG" width="315" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the red bordered image was ready, I cut out a handmade Chinese paper into an unfolded card shape that would fold into half and open vertically. I then pasted the red bordered image on the front of the card.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D7Hnv1lg-nQ/T7AG5_F0DiI/AAAAAAAACLE/1-hDgOv-kcE/s1600/100_2044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D7Hnv1lg-nQ/T7AG5_F0DiI/AAAAAAAACLE/1-hDgOv-kcE/s400/100_2044.JPG" width="346" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally I added white chart paper on the inside to write the message. The message reads - 'To, sweetest Aunty...You are no less than my mom to me... Lots of Love -Nishtha"</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ttYcZLYc5Gc/T7ADgxxiv-I/AAAAAAAACKw/FS9gMzu-wE4/s1600/100_2043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ttYcZLYc5Gc/T7ADgxxiv-I/AAAAAAAACKw/FS9gMzu-wE4/s400/100_2043.JPG" width="252" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Apprehensively, I gave her the card today at dinner and she loved it... (PHEW!!!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The inspiration for this card came from the homonym - 'MUMMY', which mean Mother and Egyptian mummified body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I wanted to combine the two, make a card for my MUMMY using something of Egyptian MUMMY theme.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tsD1WFxzmzc/T6aCIsk__GI/AAAAAAAACJY/D0z3SrQcNWk/s1600/100_2029.JPG" imageanchor="1"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tsD1WFxzmzc/T6aCIsk__GI/AAAAAAAACJY/D0z3SrQcNWk/s400/100_2029.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, I started by cutting out an image of a girl offering a bouquet to her mom on a cardboard and covered the mom and the girl in 3mm golden quilling strips (I tried to give the effect of the way Egyptian mummies are wrapped). The bouquet was wrapped in 3mm maroon and green strips.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fm6Je1tHkBI/T6aDq__yFvI/AAAAAAAACJg/N5fX7SFN08w/s1600/100_2031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="353" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fm6Je1tHkBI/T6aDq__yFvI/AAAAAAAACJg/N5fX7SFN08w/s400/100_2031.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I then pasted the three wrapped images on a black base, which was made by covering a border-shaped cut-out cardboard with 10mm black quilling strips (again trying to replicate the Mummy effect). </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the image was pasted firmly, I added colour printed writing on the side on the image - "my mommy best" (again using different kind of font to give it Egyptian look)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fry1TzGebW8/T6aERDjcp0I/AAAAAAAACJo/4LZeFVtGkNg/s1600/100_2030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fry1TzGebW8/T6aERDjcp0I/AAAAAAAACJo/4LZeFVtGkNg/s400/100_2030.JPG" width="108" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I then pasted the entire black cut-out with images and writing onto a black and golden handmade paper, which I cut out in the shape of a card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uci35QE2-Ls/T6aHDtoLi_I/AAAAAAAACJ4/8zUuR3db6Xs/s1600/100_2025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uci35QE2-Ls/T6aHDtoLi_I/AAAAAAAACJ4/8zUuR3db6Xs/s400/100_2025.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally, I added a yellow chart paper on the inside of the card, to write the message.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love to wrap my gifts in unique, hand made and personalized wraps, hence when I gifted<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">the comic book 'Batman Under the Cowl' to SID-B</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> (a Batman fanatic), I wrapped it in this Batman themed wrapping.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jIuWh0fzGiw/T6TMCneAHMI/AAAAAAAACHw/J1Aqdw1OOUk/s1600/Batman+Comic+Cover+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jIuWh0fzGiw/T6TMCneAHMI/AAAAAAAACHw/J1Aqdw1OOUk/s400/Batman+Comic+Cover+2.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I started by gathering and color printing batman related images. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the wings, I found this cloth wings image and cropped it in two. To get the wing's folds accurately, I added dotted lines on the cropped image using coloring tools.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I then covered the comic book with black chart paper till about 70% of the length and cut out all the images gathered. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made these cardboard jigsaw pendants</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I started by cutting out the jigsaw shape I desired on a card board and filed the edges to make them smooth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My latest addiction is paper jewelry, cant stop thinking about it, nor can stop making it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I learnt watercoloured paper jewelry makng from Ross Barbera's blog. I loved the idea so much that I had to try it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">So here is my take on her art. </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made these four pendants.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eajC0bqviNo/T5MWQ6rTu_I/AAAAAAAACGQ/LhR7cvgkXuI/s1600/100_1964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="411" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eajC0bqviNo/T5MWQ6rTu_I/AAAAAAAACGQ/LhR7cvgkXuI/s640/100_1964.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used drawing paper and three water colours - blue, green and yellow to make these.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I randomly dabbed colours(mixed with water) on the paper till the entire sheet was covered. Once done, I sprinkled cooking salt on the colours (this gives the textured look) and left it to dry over night.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilwUTeGsMz4/T5MXCkyS3pI/AAAAAAAACGY/7kxSrzLb7YE/s1600/100_1958.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilwUTeGsMz4/T5MXCkyS3pI/AAAAAAAACGY/7kxSrzLb7YE/s320/100_1958.JPG" width="219" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the sheet was completely dried, I scrubbed off the excess salt and cut out two pieces of each shape desired (for front and back)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x5801gmlsaI/T5MYaXoElmI/AAAAAAAACGg/vEuxuk_4DSo/s1600/100_1953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x5801gmlsaI/T5MYaXoElmI/AAAAAAAACGg/vEuxuk_4DSo/s320/100_1953.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I also cut out the two exact same shape of each piece in plain paper. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I had four pieces of each shape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I pasted the black string in between the two plain paper pieces and stuck them together with glue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1qvnkK0iYN4/T5MZPd0cE8I/AAAAAAAACGo/Q5GEP6g_wuo/s1600/100_1939.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1qvnkK0iYN4/T5MZPd0cE8I/AAAAAAAACGo/Q5GEP6g_wuo/s320/100_1939.JPG" width="184" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the string was firmly attached, I pasted the coloured paper pieces on front and back of the base pendant (made of plain paper with sting in between) and left them to dry overnight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I <span style="background-color: transparent;"> have been so inspired by handmade jewelry, that I couldn't help but try one myself.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is my 1st handmade piece which I learned from BeyondBracelets on youtube, but made alterations according to the craft supplies available to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eAyRsLLXyAY/T4sMKs-Pe1I/AAAAAAAACFg/8sk4CqSkXyI/s1600/100_1916.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eAyRsLLXyAY/T4sMKs-Pe1I/AAAAAAAACFg/8sk4CqSkXyI/s320/100_1916.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I started by cutting the cardboard in the shape that I desired to make the pendant in, then cracked and pasted pieces of boiled egg-shell on the base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GGwq875tyzA/T4sNSpSrBPI/AAAAAAAACFo/BsdZE7QJHV8/s1600/100_1918.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="260" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GGwq875tyzA/T4sNSpSrBPI/AAAAAAAACFo/BsdZE7QJHV8/s320/100_1918.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once all the pieces were pasted, I filed the edges of the pendant to smoothen them and remove any excess egg-shell.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CnPvqTQgFpQ/T4sNdxUjGWI/AAAAAAAACFw/2f7-yuQOLKg/s1600/100_1919.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="280" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CnPvqTQgFpQ/T4sNdxUjGWI/AAAAAAAACFw/2f7-yuQOLKg/s320/100_1919.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To make it durable, I coated the pasted egg-shell pieces with glue and water mixture(70% glue &amp; 30% water) and left it to dry overnight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once it was completely dried, I painted the egg-shell side with transparent colors and the back side with acrylic color. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NvWQyZF7dCU/T4sNqgufXVI/AAAAAAAACF4/Sxcz9FncyiE/s1600/100_1910.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NvWQyZF7dCU/T4sNqgufXVI/AAAAAAAACF4/Sxcz9FncyiE/s320/100_1910.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally sprayed the completed pendant with craft varnish, punched a hole in it and added the silver chain.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am sure this month is 'International Playboy Month', as I cant explain why I keep making Playboy/Playmate themed art project. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mr.Hefner, are you listening??? ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here is my latest one: TWO is better than ONE</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HMNRRBSQqUw/T4cf1-TLb7I/AAAAAAAACEU/49uP2tvtjdU/s1600/2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="483" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HMNRRBSQqUw/T4cf1-TLb7I/AAAAAAAACEU/49uP2tvtjdU/s640/2.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My inspiration to make this, came from the model herself. I dont know who she is, but I loved her photo and decided to make something with it and thus was born this project (which I intend to frame soon) </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F-50WXcuyfM/T4ciDtYnBuI/AAAAAAAACEc/iEPAeQxoiXs/s1600/3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="585" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F-50WXcuyfM/T4ciDtYnBuI/AAAAAAAACEc/iEPAeQxoiXs/s640/3.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used coloring tools to give the original picture a 'negative of a photograph' look.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kUfp_9_p2X8/T4ckFSLak3I/AAAAAAAACEk/DYOFvDDiQL8/s1600/4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="546" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kUfp_9_p2X8/T4ckFSLak3I/AAAAAAAACEk/DYOFvDDiQL8/s640/4.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I colour printed the edited photo and stated to work on it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 1st one is made with IRIS folding technique, for which I have hand cut the parts out (used my craft knife for the 1st time)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hKKzLf9lAFo/T4ck2ivkPdI/AAAAAAAACEs/okwYx618VHI/s1600/5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hKKzLf9lAFo/T4ck2ivkPdI/AAAAAAAACEs/okwYx618VHI/s640/5.JPG" width="412" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used 3 fluorescent colours - Pink for the lingerie, Green for the bunny ears and Yellow for the playboy bunny in the basket.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-whQTcj1DQiA/T4cm91B-ikI/AAAAAAAACE0/Jsqu-YXQxbo/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-whQTcj1DQiA/T4cm91B-ikI/AAAAAAAACE0/Jsqu-YXQxbo/s640/7.jpg" width="255" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I experimented with IRIS folding this time, instead of using paper strips, I folded a single piece of paper and pasted it. It worked great, looks just like the actual IRIS folding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 2nd one is 3D decoupage, this is my 1st decoupage project. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6aK65QDuqOw/T4cpluMuIeI/AAAAAAAACE8/3bzLutAu9fg/s1600/6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6aK65QDuqOw/T4cpluMuIeI/AAAAAAAACE8/3bzLutAu9fg/s640/6.JPG" width="414" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used all the hand cut parts from the previous picture to make this one.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4gaywZmVgI/T4cp_Y6gKbI/AAAAAAAACFE/n0Sfv258-cg/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4gaywZmVgI/T4cp_Y6gKbI/AAAAAAAACFE/n0Sfv258-cg/s640/8.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To give it the 3D effect, I pasted small pieces of cardboard on backside of each hand cut part and pasted it on the original picture. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JYotJHwzEV0/T4cqgTzm91I/AAAAAAAACFM/hUpHrXejjF4/s1600/1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="446" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JYotJHwzEV0/T4cqgTzm91I/AAAAAAAACFM/hUpHrXejjF4/s640/1.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally, I pasted both the finished pictures on Indigo Blue paper and added the golden and turquoise hand made paper border to give it a complete look.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Self Rating - 8/10</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Status - Happy with the outcome</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tips - you could use double sided tape instead of cardboard for 3D decoupage</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Suggestions - Try the new IRIS folding method and let me know how it worked for you.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Changes I could make - would definitely get it framed</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Let me know what you think? Do i deserve a 8/10???</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After creating the Playboy bunny and, playmate themed gift wrapping paper for Easter <span style="background-color: transparent;">(posted on 4th April 12)</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">, I wanted to make more, but with the same Playboy theme {cant get Playboy bunny out of my head, I'm sure Mr.Hefner will be delighted ;-) } </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I created P.E.E. -- Playboy Easter Egg:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It has a vintage worn out feel to it, I didnt intend that to happen, but in the process of making, it did (works out even better for me)</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used a real boiled egg (as I couldn't find a craft egg), covered it with hand torn white paper to give it a base.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I applied 2 cotes of glue and water mixture (70% glue & 30% water) to strengthen the paper base.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the bunnies, I colored printed the below image, and tore the bunnies out by hand and pasted them all over the egg.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To further strengthen the egg after pasting the bunnies, I coated it with glue and water mixture and left it to dry over night.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once completely dried, I sprayed it with varnish to give it a sheen.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My best friend Chaitanya wanted to gift his fiance something special on their 6 months anniversary, but didn’t want to buy just anything, instead wanted to make it. But poor Chaitanya is creatively challenged, hence I stepped in to help him with his project.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He wanted to make a collage for her with photographs that would narrate their love story. Hence, I made this collage for him with 16 photographs..</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kdrcqlRUZ2Y/T33UfDjpkUI/AAAAAAAACCQ/yEXOZaCN3G8/s1600/collage-1.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But he didn’t like it, as it was too cluttered, so I made this one with 11 photographs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OoKcHDi8lWM/T33UvXRkg7I/AAAAAAAACCY/3B5dm9dzXjA/s1600/collage-21.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But according to him, I missed some of the important photographs, so I once again made this with 14 photographs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a5l5x5iBwFA/T33U_fSac1I/AAAAAAAACCg/dX_K_Q6BDkc/s1600/final-collage.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And he finally loved this one and got it framed in a beautiful black wooden frame.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-APuFD690W7o/T33VMDr7H1I/AAAAAAAACCo/Yog7Doyb_-o/s1600/framed-collage.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I experimented with different background colors and layouts for this collage, also played around with some coloring tools to add an extra personality to the piece.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">According to him, she loved it too..</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been so bombarded (inspired) with Easter craft and projects made by my fellow crafters, that I couldn't help but make something based on Easter, but I didn't want to stick to the stereotypical cards/eggs(nothing wrong with them, each one is gorgeous in its own self, but I wanted to do something different), so I made this gift wrapping paper.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is a Playboy bunny and Playmate themed vintage paper with 'Happy Easter' written on it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used Playboy bunny instead of the Easter bunny and the Playmate is wearing bunny ears (which is my way of capturing Easter).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I first stuck the leaves on the inner wall of the pot and then I placed the flowers between the leaves. Finally the finished pot with flowers and leaves was stuck on the base.</span><br />
