WOW.....White on whites.

Posted by Rajni Chawla

It's WOW this time at JustRite Friday Challenge #109



Guess what??
Whites On Whites.....only whites to be used. It was quite challenging for me as I have never tried creating anything without distress inks . Its not that I don't like whites....but its just that I love colors. 

As I told u in my last few posts that I am working on lots of wedding projects these days I tried a wedding cards for the same.

White is appropriate for weddings because the unity of male and female symbolizes the unity of allness.


I tried creating different textures using heat embossing, embossing folders , layering different die cuts and off course using different papers. For this card  I combined translucent Vellum and milky white textured card stock.


 For the center rosette I specially used vellum. I stamped and heat set using Seafoam White embossing powder with Justrite Lace Edges One.  I loved the lacey effect I got. For the card base I combined both A and B designs of Spellbinder's Framed Petite Labels and decorated the corners and edges using Amazing Paper Grace Corner die and Joycraft- Mid French Lily.  






  




A little close up to show the lacy edges of the rosette. I really loved the see thru effect of the translucent vellum and white heat embossing.









Here are the pictures of the rosette that I took before fixing it to the final card base. All layered using Marianne Creatables Oval and Justrite Enjoy The Day Vintage Labels Four stamp set. 



I even took few clicks with dark backgrounds.....It was my first try with whites, so was not sure about its photography.  






Don't forget to visit Justrite Challenge #109 to see what other crafters have come up with.

One perfect day..

Posted by Rajni Chawla

Hi..


The clock kept ticking.....the hours n days are going by....and one more year passed without you.

We never can just stop time. Or take moments back.
Life doesn't work that way, does it???
I still can’t believe that he is gone, and perhaps I never will. I never thought that I would be alone, and in my mind, I know that being alone is the hardest thing that I will ever have to do.
It will be completing 5 years on 7th Aug without him. My friends and family assume that I am moving on.  Little do they know that there are days when all I do is think about him, days when all I long for is to see his smile, and feel his touch just one more time.  Little do they know that after five years there are nights when I still cry myself to sleep.


AHHH !!!
 “time heals all wounds.”  I want to tell people that the wound in my heart remains open, and that time will never heal it.  But, they wouldn’t understand.  Time for me has only led to a form of acceptance.  A form of acceptance that comes and goes as it pleases, because there are days when you cannot accept the loss.  Yes, there are days when grief washes over you in uncontrollable waves of sadness.

I somewhere read.... “Our wounds run deep, our undying love is forever, and staying connected beyond the veil brings us comfort.”
Today the waves of pain are less frequent but no less intense. I cry unexpectedly and then feel better.  I’ve learned to live without him but not to forget him; to honor the memory of what was, while functioning in the world that is.

Today I am sharing this project to welcome the sadness that keeps us connected .This picture has captured a moment that has gone forever....but will always remain alive in my heart. If I could, I would live forever in this moment. But no one can live in a moment, and time moves......on.
