CraftyJC Challenge #15 – An inspiration from Kavya

Today we have a very special DT person with a beautiful inspiration for the colourful challenge.

Presenting to you Kavya – a 13 year old girl – which such creativity! :)

Thanks for the inspiration Kavya :)

“I am Kavya N, a 13 year old crafter currently studying in Grade 8 at The Indian High School, Dubai.

I was into drawing and painting before but I discovered the world of crafting and cardmaking a year back and I am enjoying it a lot!! I created my blog last august to serve as a memory for my artworks but couple of weeks later, many crafters dropped by leaving their comments and suggestions which encouraged me a lot and I had my first exhibition last November, it was a huge success. Most of my cards are made using some simple materials which are available here to common folk....

I have made the card using materials from my stash. I have purple, pink, green and blue. The background paper was printed from online. The roses were made using a heart punch and the sentiment was printed.

I have used crepe paper for the ribbon and the rhinestones which were used were from my mom's stash. As I did not have a border punch, I layered two alpine punches to create the effect on the edge. I have used Derwent Pastel pencils and blocks instead of Distress inks.....

I hope you like it....=)

”

I was speechless when I read she is 13!! Wow! So young and such creativity! Love the colouring and the punch craft.

Awesome isn’t it :)

Do please leave some love for Kavya at her blog and come back and play along for this colourful holi challenge

Cheers

Here is what Hussena has to say about this card

“This time I have made a baby card which is meant for a dear friend who has just Delivered a Baby boy...After much thought I decided to make a quilled baby Aeroplane as the central theme for my card with baby clouds to complement it and the colors used are Red, Yellow ,Blue and Green the card is pretty simple  and  I have tried to keep the plane in the main focus.The quilling done here is called the" Beehive technique"and has become quite popular recently among all the quillers.”
