India - Scrapbook Layout

Hello Friends...

This month at More Than Words we have "Origin" as Word Inspiration and "Country Colors" as Creative Inspiration. I created a Layout based on the moodboard and the challenge

For the Word inspiration Origin, I was inspired by my country of origin, India and I used our National Flag as my focal element on my Layout. I was inspired by the flags in the mood board. For country colors it is very difficult to choose any color for a vibrant and colorful country like India, so I decided to stick to the flag colors Saffron, White and Green. I also used the numbers 1947 as that represents the year India got it's Independence. The words Strength, Peace and Grow symbolises the flag colors.

Word Inspiration - ORIGINS
Creative Challenge - YOUR COUNTRY COLOURS

What does the word ORIGINS inspire you to create? You can choose to use the actual word somewhere on your project or simply be inspired by it. Please explain in your blog post how it inspired you if it isn't obvious in your work.

For the creative challenge, we want you to wave YOUR COUNTRY COLOURS loud and proud! We ask that you create your project using colours that represent your part of the world. You can choose to use the colours in your country's flag, or the colour of your national flower or animal. You can even be inspired by the colours of a well known attraction or place or even custom that embodies your origins. Make sure to name in your blog post the colours you chose and explain why.

Here are some close ups of my Project...

I'm a proud Indian and I am proud of this Layout. Hope you like my Project too.

India- August DT Post at IQCG

Hello Quillers,

I'm back again with my DT Inspiration post at Indian Quilling Challenge. This month's theme is Patriotic as we celebrate Indian Independence. I made this

I used 5mm strips for the outline of the letters and for the inside and the flowers I chose 3mm strips. I stuck to the colors of our National flag. The base is a glossy white Cardstock.

Here are a few more pics...

Hope my post inspires you. Do participate and enjoy quilling.

Hugs,

Priya

National Flag

Good Morning Friends...

Today I am here to share a work which is really close to my heart.

On August 15, 1947, India woke up to freedom. Decades have passed since, we continue to celebrate this day when we became a free and sovereign nation. 

I am extremely proud to be an Indian because I was born here. India is a vibrant country where you will find innumerable differences co-existing. Its myriad cultures has been an amalgamation of various civilizations. I love India and I have no reasons for it. It's just a feeling and every time I see the national flag I admire it, every time i hear the national anthem i get up naturally. 

I am extremely delighted that I got a chance to make something on India and I have never done anything patriotic before. This is such a beautiful concept this time at  IQCG.

I have quilled an outline of our National Flag.

Take a look...

I took this wallpaper design from google as an inspiration to quill on.

I hand drawn the outline and colored the required spaces with acrylic colors. Then I glued the 3 mm quilling strips on the outlines and some to the insides also.

It was really painful for my weak eyes to make those tiny patches... but i really loved the outcome.

Thanks for visiting. Please leave a comment if you like / dislike my work.

Hugs
