Post 308: CAS Diwali Card (peacock)

Hi friends!

I'd like to share a Clean & Simple Diwali Card. This was part of my DT work for Peekaboo Designs. All the details can be found here. Diwali is the festival of lights :) and in India it is celebrated with a lot of pomp and show. We spend time with our loved ones and family, prepare special sweets and give gifts to each other.

Process:

1. Die cut white cardstock using the Scalloped Circle die.
2. Stamped the beautiful image from the new Madhubani Stamp onto Canson watercolor paper. Then watercolored it using zig markers & an aqua brush and then fussy cut it.
3. Stamped the sentiment from the Diwali Greetings stamp onto a strip of cardstock & then matted it with the pretty new Rainbow Hues Washi Tape.
4. Assembled the card by adhering the 2 scalloped circle die cuts to a black card base. Then adhered the sentiment and foam mounted the image. In the end, added a few white dots with a white gel pen.

Here are a couple of photos of the card:



I am playing along with the following challenges:

AAA Cards Challenge #101- Inspired by a film (I was inspired by this song in the hindi film Lamhe- the actress is singing about how a peahen dances in the night time, I tried to depict that by using a black card base and the stamped image of a peacock, the colorful dress & bangles are depicted in the rainbow hued washi tape)

Pixie's Snippets Playground Weeks 303 & 304 (Used snippets of cs & watercolor paper for stamping the sentiment & peacock respectively) 

Thanks for your time!
Love reading your sweet comments :)
Stay Blessed.
