Are You A Thrifty Crafter

Hello Friends,

This is Poornima. I am here with my inspiration for the May Challenge  " The Thrifty Crafter". With so many costly supplies in our stash, isn't it challenging to make a card in just Rs. 25.  For inspiration, you can check out fabulous cards from our DT team. And if you have missed Itsy Bitsy inspiration , you can check it out here. I am sure these inspirations will help you to bring out the thrifty crafter hidden inside you all.

Now over to my card. I have made a scallop circle card using nestabilities. The card is very simple with no stamps, inks. I have used calla lilies and pearls as embellishments.


Here Goes my Cost Calculation -

Cardstock (3/4th sheet) - 5 Rs.
White cardstock (1/4th sheet) - 2 Rs. 
Calla lilies- 6 Rs.
PP - 1  Rs. (small pieced is used from 6*6 paper)
Sentiment - 1 Rs.
Pearls - negligible
Cardstock for butterflies -negligible
**************************
Total- 15 Rs.

Hope you like this card. The challenge is running. You still have time to link up your cards and win gift vouchers from our sponsor Itsy Bitsy. We hope to see your fabulous enteries.
