You are the rainbow of our cloud πŸ’• - Mixed media Canvas


Parents - The unsung heroes πŸ˜‡

I am sure most of you agree with me on this. They are the ones who live thier lives for us first and then for our kids too!

 There is only one unconditional love in this world and it's of our parents ❤️

This project is inspired by the colours of the NSD mood board and the quote.

I have given the quote a twist "You are the rainbow of our clouds" signifying how parents have been our pillars of support. If not for them I wouldn't have been able to pursue my passion. Without them this quarantine life would have been hell for us. This is a small tribute to my parents 😊


I have used a canvas for the mixed media layout. Mediums used are white gesso, chalk paints, metallic waxes, gold acrylic paint, clay elements, chipboards, art stones, splash sprays, stencils, mixed media paste and few metallic elements.

Thank you Card 😊

A simple and cute Thank you card created as my first DT post for Penny's Blog Challenge.
This is a thank you card I made for a friend because she helped me with the print outs of the digi stamp without which I would not have been able to make one! Due to lockdown things are really getting more difficult.
But in such difficult times is when you get to know who your real friends are.

Thank you my friend ❤️

So you can check out Penny's blog Challenge using this link below for exciting Challenges every fortnight.


Hope you guys like it 😊


This is created using a beautiful digi stamp from "All Dressed up"

Bundle of Joy - Mixed Media - Altered Art

My baby's first pic ever! This was how he was wrapped and handed over to my people after the delivery πŸ₯° So you can imagine how special this pic is to me πŸ’•

I have been thinking of making a good layout to make it a decor piece so that I can see it everyday and treasure it forever. And hence is the inspiration behind this one😁

So many elements and textures have gone into making this beauty πŸ₯°this is an altered wooden placemat.  I have used crackle texture paste, mixed media paste, stencils, gesso, chalk paints, metallic paints, fussy cut elements, wooden elements, handmade flowers from satin ribbon, resin frame, doilies, acrylic butterflies, laces etc

To finish it off I have used multiple sentiments and trust me I had to tell myself to stop adding more πŸ˜†

Thoroughly enjoyed making this oneπŸ˜‡
Hope you guys like it too 😊

Time and tide waits for none - Guest influencer post for Prika

I love to create something different and new every time I sit down to do my crating.  I love working with metallic waxes and wanted to try something that’s close enough to a steam punk mixed media project using them. So, I decided to alter a wooden box that was lying around from my stash.

 

Below is the list of supplies

·                     Wooden Box

·                     Metallic waxes

·                     Black Gesso

·                     Metal, Resin and wooden embellishments

·                     A quilled flower, some old earrings, some Chinese coins from a broken wish tree (that I have been hoarding for ages J) and some gold leaves

·                     Metallic paints

·                     Chalk paint

·                     Cheese cloth

 

 

Step 1: Cleaned the surface of the wooden box that will be used as the base for my project

 

Step2: Gathered the embellishments that I wanted to use for my project.

 

Step 3: I started by priming the surface of the wooden box and embellishments that I wanted to alter using black gesso. (I dint gesso the metal embellishments as I wanted to retain its natural look). Also, the quilled flower was roughly primed as I wanted to retain some of its natural blue to complement the other elements that I had in my mind.

 

Step 4: Next I roughly coated the major area with a light brown chalk paint and then dabbed copper metallic paint over it to give a mixed background.


 

Step 5: I used some old metal earrings I had as wings for my main element clockJ (Talk about shortage of supplies, thanks to the lockdown!). The wings here were added to symbolise flying time that inspired the title of my project “Time and tide waits for none.



Step 6: I started layering up my embellishments the way I wanted it to be.



Step 7: Once I was happy with the layout and assembly, I started coating the embellishments very roughly with waxes to highlight the points I wanted to.



 Step 8: I dint want the base copper shade to stand out too much so I dabbed and washed it off using some black gesso and left some bits just enough to highlight the round wooden clock embellishment. Added the sentiment using a metal name tag.

 

Step 9: Finished off by distressing the outer edges of the box using copper blaze metallic wax

The final Project is ready:

 






Thank you for stopping by. I hope you like my project.

Stay home, Stay safe and happy crafting πŸ˜Š
