Hello everyone,
Hope you had a good weekend. I am out enjoying a car trip to a nearest town to visit a zoo and pray at a very special Hindu temple in the west of India. Today is the day I share my CASE of one of Loll's creations. The reason is, to develop some better understanding of how colors work and learning from the specialist herself. The last two cards that I CASEd are here and here.
This week I am CASEing this beauty.
I used the Ganesha stencil from an Indian brand Craftangles and Faber Castell glass bead over the sponged stencil. Though Loll had used a stencil for the background too, I didn't. I just sponged Squeezed lemonade, Festive berries and Spiced marmalade - distress inks and spritz it with water.
The sentiment says 'Shubh Labh' in Hindi. Lord Ganseha is the God of good beginnings. 'Shubh' is like praying to Lord Ganesha that whatever is auspicious, it should come to you and 'Labh' means that one should be benefited by all the Shubh that comes. So may be in simpler way, it's for wishing some one good fortune that he benefits from. Phew.. so difficult to explain just two words!
Oh that glitter (doesn't even matter if its not gold)!!
I hope you like my take, on Loll's lovely card.

You've picked an excellent CASE & you've done a fabulous job. Loll will be so proud of you. Love this beautiful sunflower (and I remember hers too!) and the hot colors just make you feel warm all over. Looks like you've learned the technique very well. I enjoyed seeing these colors on Card #2, also beautiful. Thanks for explaining the sentiment and what a lovely thought! Hope you get some new visitors from my shout-out welcome and linking. People will love your work. TFS & Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Ishani!! I love the beautiful sponged background and your amazing stencil with the glittery paste. Really lovely colours --- my favourites! :) And what a lovely card to send someone to wish them good fortune. xx
ReplyDeleteI saw this in the Simon Says gallery and so glad I came over for a closer look! I have some glass bead gel by Liquitex but it never crossed my mind to use it the way you have! Looks fabulous! Love your colors, and thanks for explaining the writing!
