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!

Christmas in July!

 Hello to all!

Happy Tuesday!

Who doesn't love Christmas cards for gifting someone, so most of the challenge themes inspired me to make Christmas cards early!

Here is my first slimline card!

I started by die cutting my own base for a slimline card using a scalloped border die out of the white sheet. I created my own background using two different sizes of beautiful poinsettias from different stamp sets. I stamped the flowers in archival ink and watercoloured them. added some leaves as shown in the pic.

Using a foliage stencil I applied DI.

Now added some white splatters and a sentiment. But the sentiment ink little bleed as shown in the pic below.

So I stamped the sentiment again on an angled strip, added with dimension.

For the final touch added some half pearls at the centre of my flowers. 

Hope you enjoyed this project!

Happy crafting!

Happy Birthday!

Hello!

For today card, I started off by creating the scattered polka dot pattern on my main panel. 

PS: Yay! I won the challenge here!!!

On a stitched rectangle white die cut panel I adhered my stencil and applied embossing ink through my sponge dauber. Then spread the bonding powder and after heating added blue foil on the top. And run through my Bigshot machine for equal pressure. Voila, great foil dots appeared. It is my first trial ever without using any machine.

Next, I adhered my piece on a blue mirror CS and then a white base card panel. I die cut a stitched circle in white framed it on blue mirror CS circle. Die-cut a happy word and stamped birthday sentiment in blue.

Then I stamped a flower and leaf, heat embossed them in silver sparkle EP. Then watercoloured them and fussy cut all. I adhered my flower and leaf with foam squares for some dimension. And finished it off with some silver sequins!

I really hope you like my card with foil element to shine!

Happy crafting!

Lots of Love!

 Hello!

Lots of love what we need! Not just as we think ahead to Valentine's day but all year long!

To begin with, I started with a heart die from MFT and extended the trunk part. What really I love this die about various sizes of small hearts and leaves and its intricate design!

I stamped the pretty girl and colored her with my ZIG markers and added some dots on her dress for more texture.

Then created a ground for her. Added those part of tiny hearts in red color with some sparkle into the tree. and painted some more love confetti in the air to blow.

In the end, added the sentiment. Added that die cut panel on my card base with some dimension.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed my card!

Happy Independence day! 

It's a one-layer CAS card in graphic style!

Stamped the image on my white card base and colored it with my Chameleon Pens. I masked it and added some grungy effects inspired by my Country Flag using DI! 

Die-cut the word Celebrate 3 times and colored it.

Hoping you enjoyed the project!

Happy crafting!

Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello, everyone!

Happy Thursday!

In love with these pretty array blooms, so delicate and fancy and I think the best way to showcasing them layering with striped and polka dots paper!

https://papersmooches.blogspot.com/2020/08/august-birthday-challenge-winners.html

I used a stitched rectangle die for a striped PP. 

Then die cut these array blooms 2 times from black scrap sheet and 4 times out of a white scrap sheet.

Now it was delighted to color the internal die-cut pieces with my distress markers. Colored directly and blending them with a little water brush pen and adhered those pieces on one another and adjusted the pattern according to my requirement.

Then I die cut a double stitched circle from the centre out of my striped panel.

I added a dotted green PP on my white card base. Stamped the sentiment using my Misti. 

Now adhered that striped panel using foam tape.

 Arranged the floral array at the top of the circle corner with dimension.

Accented with few sequins, half pearls and shimmer in the centre of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!
