Birthday Explosion Box :)

Hi friends!
Today I am going to share an explosion box. Well, I've tried it for the first time and I am so happy and excited to share it with you all. I made this for a very dear friend of mine on her birthday.
Here are some pics :)

It was a bit difficult to work with not so sturdy paper. Actually I used a black chart paper as the base and as it was not stiff enough, so, I have to add one more layer of black chart paper over the base. As you know I dont have any special tools, so it took a bit more time and effort. I made the pattern paper myself ;) You can see that in the above picture.
Here are some more views of the box :)

My favorite part is the cake! :) I was not sure how to make it and did not find a tutorial. So just tried it in my own way and it was so easy to make :)

I also made a pocket in the left flap where I inserted  the birthday message.. You can see in the image below.. :)

Hope you all like it !! :)
Thanks for stopping by! And do leave your comments, I would love to hear from you! :) :)

Diwali tag

Hi friends!
Its been almost a month since I posted anything. So without further delay I am going to share a tag which I made for Diwali.

Base of the tag is an old invitation card, I colored it using pink poster color. And then I drew a pattern on it using golden sparkle pen. It was my favourite part. :)
Here are some more images.

For diyas, I used the same white colored invitation card. I drew the diyas, colored them , added some glitter and  stone and then cut them. The little flowers are also made from old invites. Sentiment is hand written.

Hope you like it!
Thanks for visiting!
Ayushi :)
