Hello dear friends! I have been keeping a secret from all of you for a while now, though it was hard to keep a secret but it has pushed my excitement to the moon :)
I am an illustrator now! Yippee :) Today at STAMPlorations blog we are revealing my own line of designs Dee's Artsy Impressions. The thought is still sinking in....
My very first illustration will be available as "Blooming buds" stamp set. Here is the preview
And of course I had to make some cards to showcase this set :)
My first card is water colored and second is embossed and colored with markers :)
I am an illustrator now! Yippee :) Today at STAMPlorations blog we are revealing my own line of designs Dee's Artsy Impressions. The thought is still sinking in....
I want to share a little story about my designing :)
"Though I don’t have a memory of being a good artist from my kindergarten time but when I see the notes from my teachers I believe that I had some drawing skills right from the start. I guess I owe this to my father, he is a great artist only that he never took it seriously ;) I am glad I got his genes LOL.
Moving on… later in the years, I developed pencil sketching as a hobby. But, then I had my studies and a career to work on. So it took a back seat! It was after marrying and moving to USA that I had plenty of time and support from my husband to get back to my hobby.
Little did I knew that I will end up being passionate about card making and one fine day due to some kind of a magic spell… Shery Russ [The owner/ illustrator of STAMPlorations] will reach out and ask me “If I would like to design stamps?” What??!!? I mean what just happened here, I was in disbelief. How did she know that I could design stamps? It seems she has some special powers!!
Though I was in disbelief, I clearly remember reaching out to my note pad and scribbling a few stamp designs and the rest is history! Here I am today sharing my little story.
I want to thank Shery for bringing me on board and I want to thank her sister for designing such a stunning logo for my Stamp line:) and now I am excited to know what you think about my design??

Did you hear that?? That was me clapping my hands in excitement for you!! SO HAPPY for you Deepti, huge congratulations. And what PRETTY cards you made!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats...have seen your impressive work around the web so I'm not surprised that you're a designer of stamps, as well. So glad you've been "discovered". Doesn't Shery have excellent taste. After looking at your gorgeous projects it probably was a no-brainer for her to ask you to design for her company. Anyway, as soon as this set is released, it will be finding a home in my stash. Can't wait to see more of what you and everyone else does with it because it's certainly a winner.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Cant wait to see more of your art work. I have to tell you though..i was looking for a good diwali stamp set and not finding one, was hoping to find someone who could illustrate one..and you were the one who came to my mind...and here you break news that you are illustrating!! Now i will nag you to make one!! :D
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning - looking so much forward on getting that set between my inky fingers....the second card - swoon - so elegant with the pink and the gold!
