Hi friends,
This is a very special post. There is a Facebook group called "Cards For A Cause - India" and they recently announced a drive to send "Thank you" or "Diwali" Cards to Indian Soldiers posted in different Battalions. I got to know about the group & this drive through a broadcast message from Neha Gala who is going to put all cards together and mail them to Hall of Fame, Leh from where the cards would be dispatched to soldiers.
So as soon as I heard of the drive, I knew I had to contribute cards for this noble cause of thanking our soldiers who selflessly serve our country & protect us. I made a total of 58 cards for the drive. Stencilling, pattern papers, stamping, distress inking & Zentangle were mainly used to create these thank you cards. I also added a small "Thank You" note inside the card in Hindi for our soldiers
प्यारे सैनिक, भारत देश के लिए आपकी नि: स्वार्थ सेवा के लिए बहुत धन्यवाद। हमें दुश्मन से बचाने के लिए बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद। आप हमारे देश सच्चे नायक हैं। आपकॊ दीपावली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं।
It means: Dear Soldier, Thank you for your selfless service for India. Thank you so much for protecting us from the enemy. You are the true hero of our nation. Wish you a very Happy Diwali
Zentangle cards:
Sentiment Stencilling With Helix stencils
Motif Stencilling With Sakura Gelly Roll Pens & Pie Lane Stencils
Stencilling With Texture Paste & Pie Lane Stencils
Cards With Pattern Papers
Stamping & Background Work & Water Colouring With Distress Ink or Alcohol Inks
This is my small little contribution for the noble drive. I hope to contribute to more such drives in future.
With Love,
