Crafty Cardmakers DT- Around the World - INDIA

(If you wanna know more on how to get a blog designed especially to your style, continue reading after this post)

*****************************************

At Crafty Cardmakers for the next two weeks we want to see what you make for our:

AROUND THE WORLD theme.

And we are being sponsored by The Stampman!!!

(I've recently checked out this store and believe me, it ROCKS!)

For our Around the World Challenge, I have chosen to highlight India with my East Indian Tilda. When I saw this stamp, I just HAD to have her.....I explain why later. I paper pieced her Sari & showered her with flowers including the embossing. Did you know the flower of India is the Lotus? This is what I tried to portray with the yellow flower creation in the bottom left corner (even though the lotus is primarily purpily/pink). I love my Indian Tilda! I hope you do too .

The main reason I had to have this Tilda is because, as I was going in maternity leave at our local hospital, there were a few new nurses starting. They are from India & even though they did not know me very well, they were kind enough to provide my pregnant belly with Henna Art. A Henna tatoo! And I have been dying to make them special thank you cards, so here's one.

And this is the result of the Henna.

The Prairie Fairy herself was there & in fact did most of this wonderful creation!! Thanks my girl.

Less than one month later I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who is now 6 months old!

SO PLEASE show us your AROUND THE WORLD creation at Crafty Cardmakers for the next two weeks.

MORE ABOUT MY BLOG LAYOUT!

Do u want one that resembles one of your best cards?

Would you pay money to have one specially made?

Wanna know where this can happen.....................

Well it may just start happening at a blog near you!!

The Prairie Fairy has been dabbling in web/blog design & my blog look has been created by her artistic hand. She has also created the new look over at Totally Tilda.

If demand deems worthy, she will start offering sales of 'custom design blogs' in her store.....

So leave a comment here is you'd be interested in having your blog customized to YOUR OWN STYLE, or head on over to her blog and tell her yourself. (She also has 5 chances to win some candy)....
