Where there is a love there is a life!

Hello to all!
A vintage touch card in soft blue colors!

I die cut a blooming wreath out of grey cardstock, two white birds and some branches of a tree from the ‘Flowering tree’ die set. I sponged them using distress inks as shown in the pic.

 Using Rolling stones stencil, I inked it the wreath centre circle with iced spruce distress ink. Now on my grey card base, I added a white panel and then adhered a panel from Amor Mio Paper pack.

Now, at the centre, I adhered my die cut wreath along with pretty birds and stencilled centre.

Embellished it with handmade flowers, garden chippie and stamped some hearts from ‘Handmade with Love’ stamp set along with a sentiment tag.

Hoping you like it!

Happy crafting!

Altered Box -Decoupage with new chalk paints

Hello everyone!
Happy Thursday!

I am back with a beautiful altered gift box.
The current ongoing challenge is using New Chalk Paints and I enjoyed using them!

I have a very beautiful dry fruit box in my stash for a long time. I wanted to perfect use of it and the moments I saw the newly launched chalk paints with decoupage papers, metal charms........... I know what to do and here it is!

First I primed the box as it is already covered with a designer paper, so I applied a layer of a diluted gesso.

Then applied new chalk paint Sangria which is so rich in color and can create a rusty look or shabby as well as vintage effect as per your desire.

I wanted a mix of both shabby and vintage look, so I chose a beautiful decoupage paper fairy blossom pack. To toned down the chalk paint colour effect I applied a coat of snow chalk paint over it. It dries so fast and quick! Then I applied a coat of Crackle medium with Basecoat and after drying I added Topcoat on it. Love the crackling effect on it.  Then I burnished glimmer moss metallic wax with a paper napkin and rubbed the extra carefully.

A close-up pic of crackling effect:

Have you go through the little Birdie metal charm accessories, beyond beautiful. For this, I choose a mask for my project along with some primed chippies.
I also added a thermocol half heart shape too. Now given a coat of Sangria chalk paints to all with Lime mint and snow chalk paint effect.

Created a border around my pic using a stencil with a grainy texture paste with a hint of some text using script stencil. Now playing with some Gold alcohol splash.

A rough pic how my mind come up to decorate and embellish now!

Enhanced the beauty of this projects using Handmade flowers!

On these,
 I applied Tinted metallic paint.

Finally adhered all the pieces along with handmade flowers, some chippies with Live your dreams
sentiment, mini pellets and some silicone moulds designer pieces too.
Highlighted the raised areas of my embellishments using Tinted Metallic paints.

Here is the opening of the box. It has a magnet inside and I added a cute handle to it using soft gel medium, a strong glue for all type of materials.

Some close-ups of the project:

Here is the inside while opening the box. 

Before 

After

I totally enjoyed the new chalk paints and cute metal charms. And try to bright colors in a balanced way to add cheer and warmth to your projects!

Happy crafting!
Love and Hugs!

https://creativewithstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2020/02/winners-from-january-challenge-46-scarf.html


I love the look of topper intricate design with hanging lamps that is my inspiration to make this beautiful card.

I started with stamping the sweet image of a skating bunny and coloured it with my ZIG watercolour brush. Fussy cut the image.

Now die cut a topper die from a white CS. for my top panel  I die cut a stitched circle window to create a scene. Now cut some of the pieces from my topper decorative die and adhered under the window circle. Added some red colour to reflect the light from the hanging lamps.

Now adhered this panel to my card base. Die-cut a double stitched circle and before adhering it onto my panel I added the remaining part of that decorative topper die with dimension. 

Added some glossy accents for more texture and interest to the hanging lamps.
Now stamped the sentiment with a dotted heart.

Here is the inside view of this card wishing Happy New Year!

I am happy with this how it turned out!
