Just wanna wish all Muslims "Happy Eid Mubarak"..Have a blast celebration..

Eid Mubarak

Another raya card to lighten up someone's Eid mood..

Used the same theme like the blue mosque that I made before, but with a different twist..

The up-close view..


Happy Eid Mubarak everyone..

A raya (Eid) card

Another quick post..

 Well, I'm not in Paris while 'writing' about this post..The picture was taken back in 2003..

Just to add to the mood of Eid, especially for those who are abroad..

Despite lighting the pelita (oil lamps) to welcome the Eid, some also use colourful lights to decorate and light up their homes.

That's all for now..Thanks for viewing..

Back from my hiding place (^__^)

As mentioned in the previous post, this is the card that I made for my father's friends..Though it's not as happening as the first day of the Eid, we're still in the third week of Syawal..Therefore, it's worth sharing..Will upload the pictures of my mini quillings as well as the "Giveaway" that I received yesterday later on..

Not a typical Eid card

Floral motif can be used for almost any (occasion) card..So I tried it for this Eid card..

A new twist

Green is normally the most predominant colour in decorations during Hari Raya (Eid Mubarak) as it is associated with Islamic items..It is often combined with yellow or gold..

And since ketupat is the most frequently used symbol as a promotional image of the season, I combined these two with a twist from the card that I made earlier..

Another Eid card

I have some problems with the lighting (or the camera or my lappy or even my vision), so the colours in these pics are not that appealing (same goes with the previous two)..But I hope the idea is clear for everyone to see..These are pelita, or oil lamps..They are normally lit 10 days or a week (some may light it earlier) before the Eid to brighten up the house compounds and mark the auspicious day..

What's inside?

Bet it's ketupat (^__^)

Quilled ketupat (Packed rice)

Ketupat (be it ketupat nasi or ketupat pulut) is a must have dish here in Malaysia during Eid Mubarak..The one that I quilled here is ketupat pulut, made from glutinous rice wrapped in a woven palm leaves..It is normally served with chicken/beef rendang (the meat is cooked with coconut milk, spices and toasted coconut paste).

Eid mubarak

This was ordered way back before the fasting month..Despite blue is my favourite colour, I chose these kinds of blue for the mosque as I'm inspired by the iconic mosque here in Dungun, Terengganu (Malaysia)..The locals call it Masjid Biru or the blue mosque..So here it is..
