My "You raise me up..." Card is for my mother :) who has always been there for me in all thick n thins of my life. She is the best and I miss her so much. It's been more than a year that I have met her... and I definitely am planning to meet her this year itself. I love you mumma :)
As always, I have tried to combine multiple challenges to create this card .
My source of inspiration are the sketch from Freshly Made sketches (which I have reversed to fit my idea), the cue- SONG at Casology, the theme- BIRDS at Papercraft star, the color challenge at the Color Throwdown , No stamps challenge at CAS-ual Friday's and mother's day card at Dream valley challenges :)
The song I selected is "you raise me up..." By Josh Groban, one of my favorites and the lyrics suit perfect to express my feelings towards my mom.
The lyrics of the song goes as follows ...
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
To make this card, I hand drew the tree branch, nest and birds. Colored these with my crayola markers and stuck them on the white card stock. Finally added the sentiment :)

ReplyDeleteSweet scene that you created Deepti. Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at CASology.
ReplyDeleteForgive me for finishing your sentiment (in my mind) with "and then you drop me out of the nest!" lol! Poor little birdy will learn to fly one way or another! Kidding aside, great tie in to your song and I love the bold pops of red! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week!

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story ... I sure hope you do get to see your mom soon, Deepti! Regardless, I know she'll love this. I was a little confused at first because I didn't understand how it fit with the CASual Friday's Challenge to not use stamps. Then I read that you DREW all the images! Holy cow, that's fantastic! So glad you joined the CASual Friday's Challenge this week. Wonderful job on your card!
