Dear Brother...

Hey all,
I am posting a couple date late of Raksha Bandan. For those who are not aware of it, Raksha Bandan is a festival celebrated in India which glorifies the love and bond between a brother and sister. It does not restrict to a blood relationship, but anyone who has shown the love and respect for a girl in a brotherly fashion is honoured o  this day.
Usually the girl ties a 'Rakhi", a thread on the boy's hand seeking protection and in turn gets some gifts fro the brother.

I have made a card using the Raksha Bandan stamp set from the Craftyscrappers bundle of stamps. Since I wanted it to have a traditional look I went for stamping the feather in multi colors using memento inks and heat embossed the sentiment using clear embossing powder and versafine ink. I left the rakhi to be plain as i liked the look better this way.
The cover is just made up of watercolored background and I have hand-lettered the word 'brother'.
Let me know what you think of this guys.

Raksha bandan!

Nothing about craft here , just a quick post on one of my poems..

Dedicating to my brothers :)

To my brother with love.....

Dear brother...
When you hold my hand
you make me your daughter;
When you give me a hug
you make me your mother;
When you teach me patiently
you make me your student;
When you come to me in doubt
you make me your teacher;
When you share everything with me
you make me a part of you;
When you look for my shoulders for support
you make me your friend.

When you believe in me
you make me capable of everything;
When you show me the right way
you make me feel looked after;
When you wipe the tears off me
you make feel the happiest person;
When you say that you love me
you make my life beautiful.

Thank u for being my brother...

Its Rakhi time soon :)

Hi all,
Its Raksha bandan time in India. This year it falls on August 2nd and it is a day where the girls honour and show their love for their brothers by keeping a fast and tying a rakhi the next day.

The brother in turn vows to protect his sister through all tests and turmoil of life.

To all my brothers who have given me support... Happy Raksha bandan!

Some of my quilled rakhis.

 

 Happy Quilling and Happy Raksha bandan (in advance) :)
