Everything starts with a Dream Mixed Media Canvas Layout!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

I want to showcase my canvas layout in a bright spring palette to gift my daughter!

The base of the composition was a MDF cutouts in the form of a door and windows. The background is made with a stencil, and texture paste on a pattern paper with clear gesso. I then sprayed some of the mists and blended them together with a wet paintbrush.

I added a green corrugated sheet at the top of the canvas. 

Gave a coat of chalk paint at all 4 corners and using a stencil applied the texture paste.

I added a scrap pice to the window with red tacky tape to attach the window shutter.

I now continue to add more embellishments and once they are all in place I applied gesso and some more paste to the flowers, door and window.

Some close-ups:

Handmade flowers, pollens, resin embellishments and some tiny sequins completed the composition! And they gave the very atmosphere of spring flowers.

Hope you all like it!

Happy crafting!

Watercolored Daffodil to Brighten your day!

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday! 

Happy Hariyali Teej Festival in India to all the fabulous ladies out there.

In love with Uniko floral stamps, so I am in again! And inspired by today festive celebration to brighten up someone day!

Stamped the daffodil, watercoloured it with my ZIG brushes and accented it with my white gel pen. Fussy cut it. I love colouring this beautiful and spacious floral image.

A  close up look at my flower. After stamping the flower in black archival ink I applied Clear Glossy EP quickly before colouring and heat embossed it, love the shine.

Grab the Fancy Labels 2 and die cut 3 times from the snippets of white CS. Die-cut a fancy label out of a snippet of dotted PP. Stacked my frames.

The dotted label is added behind the stacked frame with dimension. And tied a yellow twine to it. Text is from the same stamp set.

Finished it off along with enamel dots and some blings.

Reason to Smile!

 Hello to all!

Good Afternoon!

Today, I got some time for a little stamping before lunch and made this bright and beautiful card in yellow to make someone day happy! I made this card for my friend to celebrate her Birthday.

This stamp set from Hero Arts is my favorite now and I haven't used it before, I love this daisy bloom in yellow with a bold saying from Kaisercraft. 

I just gave outlined my stamp using ZIG brushes directly and die cut them. Then slightly colored them all.  Stamping outline stamps with fun colors is an excellently clean and simple way to design a card. I used two shades yellow and green to give this card such a fresh and fun look. Layered them all and paired my flower with a pretty dotted PP in yellow. And added a tiny butterfly near the sentiment.

 I attached my flowers and leaves with foam dots for some dimension.

Inside view:

Thanks for stopping by!
