Hi All,

This is Priya here from Priya-n-Papers. Since Diwali is around the corner, I planned to make some Diwali cards. This is my favorite time of the year with all the festivities and celebrations. I love making cards to send it off to my family and friends living oceans away. Mudra Diwali release is so perfect to make some festive Diwali cards. Let's hop on to see all the cards I have for you.

Card 1 : Have a blast with crackers!

2. Color the images with coloring medium of your choice. I used Zig markers here.

This card has an open flap. When the flap is open, it have fireworks burst in various colors! 

Procedure :

1.  For the panel, stamp the crackers image from the stamp set on a piece of watercolor paper and color it in various of any coloring medium. I used zig markers here.

2. For the surprise, take another piece of A2 watercolor paper and divide it into 3 panels. On the top and last panel, I did some watercoloring with same colors I used in step 1 with zig markers.

3. In the middle panel, stamp the firework burst stamp in same colors.

4. I then adhered the panel I made in step 1 to the back of this A2 cardstock to hide the fireworks.
