Project 'Flora'

Hi everybody :)

So we have shifted to a new place now. And all these white walls are like blank canvas for me :D So 'Something Different' decided to add more colours to this place.

For past few days I had been working on a project, which I called 'Project flora'. Its a series of colour-penciled drawings of different flowers. I had referred to some internet photos and sketches to make these drawings.

This is how project flora evolved:

#1 Started the series with beautiful tulips 

#2 'Lilies'

#3 Lovely Carnations

#4 Elegant hanging flowers called 'Fuschia'

#5 Ended the series with bright red Plumeria flowers

Once all drawings were finished, I framed them using normal thermocol sheet and white gelatin paper.
And now Project flora is all ready and up on the wall. Here is the final look :)

Thumbs up!! :) Very happy with the result. What do you say?? You too can try something like this and brighten up your home with lots and lots of colours.

Tutorial : An easel greeting card

Hello folks, hope you all are doing well. Today 'Something Different' has brought for you another greeting card tutorial. In this tutorial, we will learn how to make an easel greeting card. 

Steps are quite simple. 

Step 1: For this card, I have selected colour combination of Pink, White and black. Choose coloured paper sheets as you like. Cut pieces out of these sheets with dimensions:

Pink : 1) 12.5 cm x 11 cm 

         2) 12.5 cm x 18 cm

       3) 12.5 cm x 3 cm

Black : 1) 11.8 cm x 8.5 cm

          2) 11.8 cm x 2 cm

White : 1) 11 cm x 8 cm 

               2) 11 cm x 1.2 cm

Step 2: Make design as per your wish on first white paper piece. And paste it on first black piece and then again on first pink piece as shown below. This forms Part A of our easel greeting card.

Step 3 : Now, take second pink piece. Make folds at distances of 2 cm and 7 cm from one of the short edges. This is Part B of our card. 

  

Step 4: Write your short message on second white piece. And paste it on second black and third pink piece as shown.

Step 5: Paste the message strip that we prepared in step 4 along the short edge of Part B as indicated in the image below.

Step 6: Now, on the back side of Part A, mark a line at a distance of 6 cm from bottom long edge. 

Step 7: Apply glue to the 2 cm fold of Part B.

And stick part B to part A in such a way that 2 cm fold-line matches with the line marked on Part A in step 6. 

There you have it. A beautiful easel card is ready.

And if you fold it, both parts will perfectly stack over one another.

Write your message inside. You can customize this card in every possible way. You can change the colours, design, shape and size; basic procedure remains the same. 

Hope you enjoy making this card. 'Something Different' would love to hear your feedback.
