A few more cards I made. Blog marathon post 7

A big thank you to all of you who left comments on the previous posts, especially the post about mothers and daughters. Each and every comment is read and cherished and appreciated.
Apologies, I have not been able to reply individually, because of the blog-marathon i am currently doing.
(Forgivable, right, considering you get a new post every single day? thank you--I know you're sweet that way :) )

Today I am sharing with you pictures of cards I made. You can check out the whole album here.
I had made so many and now they are all sold! A lot of people messaged me on FB asking if I would sell the cards. Handmade cards sell anywhere between Rs.100--Rs.250/- I think handmade cards are anyday better than the usual ready-made, mass produced, run of the mill cards.

There is a LOT of effort which goes into making cards. For the cards I make, the accessories are  all sourced from my various travels. Whenever I see a nice thing which I can use for card making, I buy it and add it to my supplies.

Here are the pictures of the recent ones I made. (all sold)

 This card seemed apt for that friend who loves cats!

 I have used a shiny blue sparkling paper as a background to set off the red and white quilled roses.

 A student bought this card as a gift for her teacher.

Another student bought this for his friend. He was very keen to have this one.

I like the fairy in this one. Adds magic to the card, don't you think?

 And I like the quilled roses in this one. Once you learn how to quill those roses, it becomes addictive! I can't seem to stop making them now!

 This was a card made fairly quickly--just a cheerful peppy card which one can send for no occasion.

For me making cards is a great way to de-stress. Usually I make one card a day. A portrait I make takes many hours and is spread over days. But with cards, there is instant gratification!

Any of you make cards as well?
If so leave me links, would love to see them!
