Love this sweet Rococo stamp set with so many possibilities there!

-Created a sunrise scene in the BG using pearl acrylic paints and also applied a thin coat of crackle medium too.

-Took a 10"x10" cardboard, colored it with same color palette and using my own designed stencil :),  I applied gesso to it. Tied the upper part with a jute cord and applied a weaved jute lace at the bottom as shown in the pic. Cut the Inspire word 3 times to make a thick pile and adhered it.

-Now created the whole scene with the images with lots of depth and dimension. And finished it with some MDF embellishments and beaded lace and some Tim Holtz idea-ology chitchat words!

Trio Fold Window card

Hello friends!

Hoping you all enjoyed with full fun this great Diwali Festival!!!!

Today I wanted to share a card which is my DT post for Peekaboo Designs!

I just love these daisies, such a happy flower!

-I started with a 15"x18" CS that I cut to measure 6"X 17" and scored twice - once at 5" and other at 11". Once I folded all three sections. I created a window in the very first section, great idea to highlight the image out of the window! So I took my dual stitched rectangle die and set it where I wanted it on the front panel of my card.

-I wanted to cover my card front panel, so I took some polka dot PP from Summer Bloom PP stack and created a mat using the same die. Showing in the pic.....

- Now I created the same mat for the second panel.Then matted up my main image and set it in the inner portion of my inside fold so that it would peek out through the window I created. I coloured these daisies with Copic Markers, fussy cut them. Here is a close up: 



-I placed some cute buttons to secure the front window panel underneath them, they are from some wrapping papers, fussy cut and matted them! Wonders!!!

-And here is the entire centre panel looks like: 
-The sweet friendship sentiment is just so perfect that comes with this daisy stamp set! And placed some sequins to create more interest.


- I matted a piece of Daisy print PP from Recollections stack- Pretty as a Peacock. Created another mat with placing a polka dotted panel as a pocket attachment and provide an extra mat to write the message or add a self-pic!



This creation can be used for any right occasion by using other sentiments providing in this stamp set! 

Supply list:

Heavy textured white CS, heavy white CS, Pretty pink CS

Distress inks: fossilized amber, tumbled glass, twisted citron
Recollections PP stack- Pretty as a peacock and Summer Bloom PP stack
Dotted pink ribbon, round sequins in different sizes and colors, Beads, Pink silk thread

Ethnic Diwali Stenciling cards!

Hello, crafty friends!

Today I am on Expressions stamps, this is my DT post!

Diwali is a most famous festival of lights celebrated in India. Each of the Hindu people started planning before a month to celebrate this festival.  Invite their friends and family members and wishes them! So I created an ethnic and festive Diwali Card!

1st Card

For this card, I applied several colors using my stencil.

Die cut the sentiment hello out of Stick It Adhesive sheet and one from white foam sheet. Applied crystal glass clear diamond dust on it. Placed the word with a silver thread and few sequins and some glossy accent drops.

Supply list: 

Cardstock: Heavy white CS, white foam sheet

Stencil: Daisy delight from Expressions craft stamps

Altenew inks: Warm sunshine, evergreen, frayed leaf, sea glass and desert night

Die: Hello word from Sizzix You & Me set

Finger daubers

Ken Oliver- Stick It Adhesive sheet

Other supplies: Crystal glass clear Diamond dust; glossy accents; B&W Classic cup sequins; double shade silver thread

I have combined the two different stencils to create my second card!

My card base is in bright yellow. I took the daisy floral stencil and cover the half of the front card using carved pumpkin ink. I created the design as with Ombre effect. Then I took Candied apple ink and stencil the design again overlapping it, love the result!

Die cut the borders out of bright red and whisper white CS. Now I die cut one small and one big circle to make my own stencil. I covered the white border layer with my circle die sheet and put the daisy floral stencil and applied the ink (Keep the small circle between the daisy floral stencil to keep the circle white). Now I wanted to highlight a Diya only. So I covered the white border sheet again and applied ink through the diya stencil. Now distress the edges applied candied apple ink.

Die cut celebrate word and now applied both the layers at my card base. Time to embellish it, highlighted it with few gems and yellow glitter glue dots.

Hoping I inspired you to make some Diwali card preparations to celebrate this festive occasion!

Wall Decor Art Piece!

Hello, everyone!
Happy October!


This is a month of the festive season and Diwali is my most favorite festival, so there is no question about what I love to create with the Mixed Media projects! 

You can surprise your guests and visitor this Diwali with your own handmade creation, no need to buy from the market now!

Today I want to show you my new MM project on coming festive occasion! And this month challenge is "Lights and Celebrations" at Rainbow Craftykari. This is my GDT post for them!



And here it goes.............!!!!!!

I converted a piece of plywood into a magical wall decor art. I coated it with Plaster of Paris with the textured look.

Gave a new life to Lord Ganesha.

Happy with the results using Fevicryl Pearl colors, Terracotta and Old gold Inka Gold!

Now time to create a background scene for Lord Ganesha.
Using air dry clay and a mould I made some embellishments to decorate and let it dry them for a full day.

Now given a coat of gesso to all of them. Don't worry about some cracks because they are very delicate, it will hide with some embellishments:) Fixed metal holders to hang the decor piece.

Applied lots of fevicol and sealant to paste them all.

Die cut lots of different flowers and leaves out of Iris paper, perfect for flower making.

Soak the flowers and leaves in the water bowl for a minute and inked them using distress inks.

Shaped them using golf groove tool and embossing pad as shown in the pic, perfect for textures and details.

Now time to create the background. Misted the piece with different color splashes. Firstly I started with turquoise color mist bottle at all 4 corners with the height of 4 or 4.5" gap. Then misted with midnight blue, not on the middle part because I wanted the Ganesha to highlighted in sunbursts color effect! Then misted with dirty pink near the pillars. After that misted with chalk ultramarine and golden canary. You will easily achieve the same results as shown in the pic.

Now rubbed all the white part using old gold and turquoise Inka gold to highlight the detailing work as shown in the pic. And applied a little bit at the surface and chippies too!

Here are some close-ups for the detailing work:

Rub some Inka gold on the metal charm OM word. Paste it on the tea holder and embellished it with some gemstones.

Now embellished the whole piece with my own handmade flowers and few rhinestones, gems. See the details in close-ups clearly!

And covered the backside with the corrugated sheet attached a heart-shaped border at the bottom.

Here is the finished project and ready to hang on the wall. I am really happy that this time I will decorate my Pooja place with my own wall decor piece!!! 😊

Isn't it gorgeous at all!!!

Hope you all enjoyed this project and try to make for yours one too to decorate your home this Diwali! Love to see what you come up with our new challenge here.
