Mini Mixed Media Frame

Hi Friends,

Hope you all are doing well and enjoying the light winter days. Today I am sharing a mini mixed media frame which I made few days back, 

 It's a mini MDF frame and measures just 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches. 
I started by covering the background with Graceful Lattice die cut from Peek-a-boo Designs. Then gave it a coat of gesso and colored it in gold, copper & pearl green shades.

Added some mulberry mica flakes and copper micro beads.  

Some other embellishments and details in gold. 

Stamped flowers with some shimmer.

 Hope you like it, do share with me :)
Thanks for visiting!
Have a great day!

Fold Back Pop Up Card

Hello everyone! 

I am back with the second inspiration for Indian Craft Room Coasteride Challenge. Theme is Ribbons & Pearls plus twist is to make a Fancy fold card!

Here is what I made for the challenge, a fold back pop up card.

All flowers are handmade using Tim Holtz Tattered florals dies. I used felt to make them. Added felt leaves and few punched paper leaves.
For the triangular corners, I decided to use this gold-bronze filigree with few pearls, which gave it a complete elegant look.

Hidden sentiment at the center says "So many of my SMILES begin with you"

Here is the mood board prepared by our team

We hope you're inspired by it & will join us with your creations! You have until 28th November midnight to join in.

Fancy Fold Card with Ribbons and Pearls

Hello Friends,

It's festive season going on everywhere and I hope you all are enjoying it!

It's my turn to host the challenge for Indian Craft Room for November month. My chosen theme is "Ribbons and Pearls plus twist is to make a Fancy Fold Card"  

Here is my card

A Building Block Pop up card.

For the background I started with a white card stock and painted it in shades of lilac and rose pink. Did some random stenciling and stamping. For the bow I used 3 organza ribbons, all brought from local craft store. It took me little hard to keep them in place but then managed well and I loved the end result!
Then arranged all the other embellishments. 

Tiny chipboard alphabets, I covered them in white gesso & white glitter but my camera couldn't capture the shine..

I hope you liked my project! Would love to hear from you about my creation! 

And don't forget to stop at ICR to view other gorgeous inspirations from my team members and to join & participate! Yes I would love to see your projects :)

Thank you so much for visiting! 

Have a great day!

Hi Friends!

How are you all doing? I'am writing after a long time due to my bad health, now recovering.. but couldn't stop myself from creating something new. So I made a card today and now sharing with you all. 

And then the challenges further motivated me to make something!

Here is my card..

Made the background with inks, water splatters, colour splatters, stamping and heat embossing.

Look at these blooms & leaves made with Mudra botanical blooms stamp set. Aren't these looking pretty? Just loved them! I added some glitter dust to the layers to enhance their beauty.
Sentiment tag too hold some glitter dust!

Added a glittery golden border using gold washi tape.

Heat embossed butterfly fluttering on the coloured background.

This gorgeous diecut is from Peek-a-boo Designs, heat embossed with clear EP to add some gloss & shine.

I hope you like my card! Do share with me :)

White on white!

Hello Friends,
Today I have a special card to share, it's completely white, no other colour and I have tried my hands on such type for the first time!
As I was making it I came with with plenty of ideas that could be done with white and I have tried to include them here,
Have a look 

Die cuts, white corrugated sheet, flowers, leaves, pearls, lace flowers, rhinestones, fabric net, die cut butterflies and vellum with heat embossed sentiment

Edges are covered with glittery tape to add some shine! And it looks so beautiful when the card closes..

Closed view

I enjoyed making it and hope you all liked it too..
Share with me what you think about it!

Have a great day!

Now I am sharing the swap that I received from another crafter Arti Sudhir, I loved the monochromatic theme of this box, have a look

 This green & gold combination looks very pretty on cream embossed background.

I love these gorgeous cards, beautiful flowers, stamped images and everything so beautifully arranged.

Some tiny tags, note cards, handmade tags one is in fabric and so beautifully stitched, gessoed mixed media tags with stenciled design & cheese cloth texture, and that paper clip is so cute made with glittery foam sheet & puffed centre made with gold shimmery fabric.

First DT creation for Indian Craft Room!

Hello friends!

I am so excited to share my first DT creation for Indian craft room. Our DT member Akshma has chosen an interesting theme for October month, Anything goes plus a Diwali mood board! 

I made this card based on above mood board design

I picked light brown pattern paper for the background along with pink polka dots pattern paper for some contrast. Both pattern papers are from Papericious "If only pack"
 Next was to add some traditional festive touch so I added small stamped mandalas with fussy cut paisleys from a colourful pattern paper. Added some rhinestones to the designs.
Using a piece of vellum (from a wedding invite) I created a triangular pattern on the top and added a twine to create a border. Then arranged the mandalas around it. 
For the sentiment I created a base of golden foam to give a spark of gold shade.

Hope you like my creation, will come up with my second inspiration in mid month with some different design and idea based on the above mood board.

Do hope on to ICR to see what my other DT friends have prepared for the Anything goes mood board and participate to have fun & enjoy the festive theme.

Thanks for visiting! Do leave some love, I love to read what you say :)

Stay happy! Have a great day!
