Shagan Envelopes

Hi Crafters,

We all know that Shagan Envelopes are one of the most sought out things during any indian traditions especially marriages. I remember we had a load full in mine and it was raining shagan envelopes during all the  wedding ceremonies. 
I had made a few envelopes way back but wanted to make some more and here are they..

I have used some stamping along with a quilled flowers and some stamped leaves to make these up. and of course , the white pearls... I love putting them on my projects, they do take the look to a higher level.




 Here's a detailed flower.... I have kept it quite simple and just added a layer of the same flower on to the top of to add dimension to it.




 I had fun making these. Somehow quilling is such a relaxing way to energies yourself as well as make something truly amazing out of the paper stripes :) Isnt quilling fun ???
I find it awesome !!!

But things got tumbled up and I ended up making the album in August( I know that's a lot of delay, but with me not well and stopping all my crafty adventures for a while, there was no choice ) and one good news is... I finally bought a BIGSHOT, the die cutting Machine :) and I'm sooper happy. Now i'm embarking on the journey to collect all my favourite dies :) Finally, I completed the album before I embarked on my long due vacation back to both my homes, I delivered it and I'm sooper happy since it has been loved and liked by all :) I have made a lot of flowers for this album as the album is all girlish and little girls love flowers :) I had a lot of them punched an
