Hello friends,
First let me explain the sentiment placed on the card. Its 'Happy Diwali'. Just trying to say a lil about this festival
Diwali (or Deepawali, the "festival of lights") is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated every year. The word “Deepawali” refers to rows of diyas, or clay lamps. This is one of the most popular festivals in the Hindu calendar. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of good over evil. The Goddess Lakshmi was Vishnu’s consort and she symbolizes wealth and prosperity. She is also worshipped on Diwali.
This year's Diwali is on 11.11.2015. So here is my card in festive mood.
I don't remember exactly from where i got this pattern paper which i used in this card.
Coloured some part of the pattern paper. Added some gold glitter.
Sentiment if of 'Samarkan' font which resemble alphabets of 'Hindi' language but in English language.
Tied with the ribbon.
Tried in different colours.

And finally, wishing you a 'Happy Diwali' to all. Have a wonderful time.
So pretty! I have never heard of Happy Diwali, it was nice of you to share these pretty paisley creations and explain the holiday! So sweet with the gold highlights! Thanks for playing with us this week at the Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the history you shared too. One of my students is named Lakshmi and I always wondered about the origin. Thanks for playing along with us at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
