Zainab's Art Adventures

I made this card earlier in July for the five-year-old birthday girl when we were invited to a birthday party. :D I used a decorative punch to punch the design (on the left side of the card) on a separate used page and then used it as a stencil to carry the pattern on the card. I used different mediums for doing that(including pointers, felt-tip pens, colour pencil, and even oil pastel!). Then I did the typography in my font 'Funk Serifs' and then filled in all the shapes(which, as you might have noticed, are yellow, purple, green, red, orange and blue, to coordinate with the colours in the pattern on the left). Then I added a bunch of stars alongside the typography to make the font look more jumpy and interesting. 

Hello everyone! I'm back again. Ramadan Mubarak to you all! My (best) friend, Abiha, turned eleven the other day so I decided to share the gift and card over here(btw, I haven't given either of them to her yet, because we haven't met for quite a few days. :P Never mind. I never do  manage to keep things secret for long. XD) As I wasn't feeling particularly well(nothing, nothing, I just got a temperature)during the last week, I didn't have much time or energy to prepare a proper  present for her, so I just made an embroidered fabric bookmark. It was an experiment.  My sister was embroidering something for herself and I got pooped up just looking at her. I decided to embroider something too. I decided to make a unique embroidered bookmark. I found some brown fabric, drew a pattern on it, and then embroidered over it. The results were satisfactory, and so I sewed it at the back and washed it, and, well, it was done. It looked pretty awesome. Below is a pic...

We were inviting our friends over for lunch, so I thought, Why not make a card too? As I was in a creative and festive mood then, I began straightaway. :) I decided that a yellow background would look great, so I cut a yellow paper into half and folded it. Then I cut out squares and rectangles of all sizes from colored paper and glued them in an interesting way. I couldn't decided whether to write 'cherish' or 'friends' on the card with stickers. I finally decided on 'cherish' because it seemed more suitable. :D I used these cool letter stickers to spell 'Cherish'. Then I don't know what got into me, I traced the shapes and the word 'cherish' all over with blue pen. Then I added dots in the corner. My sister said it didn't look good but I decided it gave an overall funky look. I wrote a short message on one side and then decided to write a quote about friendship. I found this on the net: "It is one of the blessings  of ...

My best friend, Abiha , turns 10 on 7th June. Here are photos of a bithday gift I made for her. This is a pouch I made for her.... Just look at the Zipper! This is a card which I'm including.... ...And this bookmark! The gift, all wrapped up. Instead of any old wrapping paper, I used newspaper! That's all. Happy Birthday, Abiha!!!

Here are two cards I made. The main material was the punch(flower-shaped) which I used to shape and decorate these cards. The rest of the stuff is contrasting colored paper, and pencils, silver and golden, which I colored on top of the cards to decorate them. And by the way: I like feedback and comments.
