Floral Wishes

Hello Friends,

Today I have a lovely layered card to share, made with colour shades of spring season! Bright, beautiful & so vibrant!

Have a look...

The bright purple texture is a thin sheet of thai natural fibre paper, great to use on cards, layouts or other projects. I have layered other handmade & patterned papers beneath it, along with a crochet lace.

Flowers & leaves are all from Itsy Bitsy and Little Birdie crafts. 

I used color splash on white organza ribbon to match it with the theme.

Die cut leaves are from Peek a Boo designs.

Hope you liked it, do share your views.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Floral box

Hello my crafty friends,

Hope you all are having a great time.

Today I'm sharing a mixed media box, all in floral theme...made with so many pretty flowers and floral pattern papers. 

It's an old wooden box now layered up with chalk paints, colour sprays, crackle medium, papers, flowers and lots of embellishments....

Decorated the front side with pattern papers, laces and metal embellishment.

Flowers and pollens were arranged on the bed of laces, I have also added some glitter to the flowers. 
Leaves were stencilled using green glitter paste and added script design too using the script stencil and pink glitter paste.

Hope you liked it!

 Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Great day!!

"Live the Life You've Imagined"

Hello everyone,

I am back with another mixed media project, today I am sharing a reverse canvas made with lots of textures and other crafty stuff, have a look

I clicked few pictures while I was making it, that will show you how I started,

Gave a coat of white gesso to the canvas and a left over tape roll. Then applied a generous layer of crackle medium and finally a coat of chalk paint. 

For the pattern paper to stuck inside the canvas, I used Colour Splashes in pink & blue shades and applied texture paste using stencils.

Gave a coat of crackle medium to tape roll too.

Finally highlighted few areas with metallic paint.

Also highlighted the flowers using metallic paints. I have added a die cut design to the tape roll, with sentiment & sequins. 

I bought this small bird cage an year ago from  a local craft store but I am happy I used it today on this project as a tea light holder.

All these pretty blooms and texture mediums are from Itsy Bitsy 

I hope you liked my project, do share with me your views.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Great day!

Feeling of Gratitude!

Hello Friends,

I am sharing a tag today, I am not pretty much in making tags but thought of making it today and then I was inspired to use something special here, continue reading to know what it is!

Also I tried my hands on pencil colouring after a long time and it came out pretty well...I just loved it, not bad doing after a long time.

Have a look....

This image is something special that inspired me to use it. It is designed by Shery Russ from Stamplorations and is a freebie! 

I got it printed, coloured it and used it for my tag! It perfectly suited the background colours as well. 

Background is made using distress inks "mowed lawn", "broken china" and pigment blue ink from colourbox.

Then I used "gathered twig" distress ink on stencil to get this brown beautiful design.

Sentiment is handwritten since I did'nt have something in my stash relating to gratitude...so I used this beautiful quote from internet.

Also I have used foam dots to add more dimension to the flowers and for a touch of polka dots.

I hope you liked my tag, do share with me!

Thanks for visiting!

Have a Great day, Happy Crafting!

Easy Backgrounds with Fun Foils on different mediums! - A Video Tutorial

Hello everyone,

Today I have three mini art pieces to share, I have used "Foils" to create these projects. This was something new for me as I have never used Foils earlier on my projects. But after completing these I was so thrilled & happy with the outcome and they were quick and easy to make!

But before I start, let me tell you our challenge for November month is ongoing, check it out here

Let's move with our tutorial now...

Let me share the picture of my projects first,

I loved the shimmery effect achieved with fun foil, it is so easy to use and you can use it on different surfaces!

A brief tutorial:

To begin with you need following art supplies:

• Fun Foil from Craftyscrappers

• Adhesive Foam Sheet
• White cardstock
• Fevicol
• Scissors
• Tissue paper
• OHP sheet or vellum
• Cardboard (to lay tissue paper)
• Embossing powder 
• Heat tool 

To create the tissue paper background, I took a piece of cardboard and glued tissue paper to it roughly 

Now give it a coat of white gesso...

And spray it with shimmer spray "Sweet Sunshine" from Craftyscrappers

Further procedure is explained in the video...

Added diecut houses and sentiment tag to complete the look.

For this I have created the background using the same technique with tissue paper. Then embellished it with flowers and diecuts. To create the tiles follow the process in video.

And for this one I just picked some pieces of lace, natural twigs tied with yellow satin ribbon to create a bed for my butterflies. Background & butterfly making process is also mentioned in video.

Here is the video link....
