Diwali Slimline Card

 Hello friends

Sharing our first Diwali card for this year!! 

For those who don't know about Diwali, it is an Indian festival of lights to celebrate the return of Lord Rama after 14 years of exile by lighting earthen lamps outside their home. People celebrate by wearing new clothes, distributing sweets, visiting friends and family and bursting crackers 💥 

We have tried to depict the typical Diwali night with the sky filled with fireworks  and lanterns outside house. 

Though we don't burst crackers anymore, we couldn't resist adding this lil boy enjoy his Diwali with crackers onto our card. Combining all these elements would definitely call for a Slimline Card size! So, here we are....

We did ink blending for the background using Craftyscappers dye ink pads. The boy image was stamped, watercolored and fussy cut. The Ranganjali Lantern Die was cut out from Gold mirror cardstock. To give the effect of glowing light from lanterns, we did some ink blending on vellum using Yellow ink and pasted it behind the die cut. The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum using Black embossing powder. 

We are happy with the outcome!
