Hello, hello!!
How have you all been? I know it's been a while since I posted something here, keeping busy with my job and a few family commitments. Haven't crafted much this month, except for this order that I got a few days back from a lady who requested for a greeting for her father on his retirement. She loved the idea of the card-in-a-box I had made earlier(
here) and wanted a similar one herself.
Here's what I came up with:--
Warning:----PICTURE HEAVY POST

Retirement made me think in the direction of a relaxing and refreshing holiday on a beach. So I tried to replicate what I had in mind onto this card. And I'm pretty much satisfied with it. :)
The background beach scene is created using distress inks. The palm trees, beach umbrella and the ball are hand drawn and fuzzy cut. The hammock is made out of burlap and hung to the trees using thread.

| From the left |
I have used the patterned papers which I feel would look masculine and compliment the beach scene nicely. That's why, there's minimal usage of the pinks and purples.

| Custom-made matching envelope with the card inside |
So, that's what I have been doing this month. Sorry for not being able to visit your blogs very often. Hoping to change that soon.
