Patina Key Holder

Hello there....

Today I am here to share my latest make and I am loving it :)

It's a key holder in Patina effect. I love Finnabair Patina as well as rust pastes for their versatility and the gorgeous results they bring out in any and every project.

I created this key holder by altering an old frame and working on it with Prima IOD mould, Finnabair metal embellishments, art pebbles and art stones, chippies from 2Crafty, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Finnabair patina effect pastes along with Heavy Gesso.

Sharing a few detailed pictures...

I am participating with this project to Mixed Media Place January Challenge. The colors in the Moodboard instantly inspired me.

February challenge inspiration for MMW

Hey there...

January seemed to have flown by so quickly and it's already February. 

The season of Love. The mood boards this month are full of soft tones, flowers and of course the theme of love. Here we have Mixed Media Warriors mood board with lots of pink tones and flowers. I have prepared a very delicate canvas for this month with soft shades of pink.

MMW February Challenge - Think & Pink

For this canvas, I just wanted to concentrate on one corner, leaving the rest of the canvas clean. In most of my works, I like to do it that way as it gives a project a highlighted focal area which is more catchy. 

So to start with, I arranged the elements except for the flowers and gessoed everything nicely. I used some random pieces of chipboard negatives, some shells, art stones from Finnabair and a prima resin frame on top with a love title tied along. After covering everything with gesso, I used sprays from Lindy's in a very controlled way to add some color all around the focal area. I also painted some flowers in watercolor and cut them out to use them as embellishments along with other floral arrangement. I also added some micro beads and finshed off with some text stickers and little bit of background stamping that I loooove to do. Couple of detailed pictures..

With this project, I participate in:

2Crafty Chipboard January inspiration

Hello Friends..
Today I am at 2Crafty Chipboard and this is my first post with the 2Crafty design team. I am really glad to share my projects for January.

 I have prepared two Mixed Media Layouts.

 "Timeless Love"

I created this layout on a very light background as I wanted my colors to pop up more. 

Some detailed pictures..

I have used chipboard Jacqui's Flourish and the word
"Timeless" from my favorite Fine word set 2.  

For both the chippies, I have used gold embossing powder to add to their beauty. 

2Crafty Chipboard Used in the project:

Jacqui's Flourish

 Fine Word Set 2

 "Joy of Vacation"

For this layout,  I wanted it to be more colorful and be full of life.

 I hope I did the job :)

In this lively layout, I have used three different chippies. 

.

Here are some detailed pictures:

I loved that Bunch of Roses and have embossed it in greenish blue shade. 

Other two chippies are Grid Panel and the word "Vacation" from the Mini Travel word set.
 I heat embossed both of these in a purplish tone. I also did some stamping on the
 bunch of Roses and added tiny pearls on the grid panel to enhance the look.

Words & Paintery December Inspiration

Mixed Media Altered Frame

December is my favorite month. I love the cozy time, the woollens, the snow and more of tea & coffee. As an artist there is a lot of inspiration too in this month too. There we go with the Words & Paintery December Pallette, which gives me a soothing and frosty feel.

So for this frame, I had mostly whitish and soft tones in mind as the pallette says. Also I wanted to add a lot of sparkle. I took a blank frame and gessoed it first. Then I applied Texture Paste(white crackle). I wanted to have a dreamy design so grabbed some dream catcher chippies from 2Crafty Chipboard and luckily got one quote too. I gessoed the chippies and applied Finnabair waxes in "Royal Robes" and " White Gold". Added some bunch of flowers and art stones, followed by glimmer mist from Tattered Angles which has a very subtle blue tone with a sparkle. I loved the shade and it was perfect for this project. Finally added Distress glitter in "Pumice Stone".

Some detailed pictures..

Hope you enjoyed the post and got inspired.. see you soon :)

Smile - Scrapbook Page Layout

Hello my friends..

Just felt like creating something colorful and came up with this happy layout, inspired by the Mixed Media Place October Moodboard.

For this Layout, I randomly picked a colorful paper from my stash. I prepared my background with gesso and stencil and then some background stamping. Arranged my photo with some scrap pieces of paper and a frame from my stash. I used chipboard shapes from 2crafty chipboard that I colored white with acrylic paint. Then comes an important part, flowers. I have used all pastel-colored flowers to match my overall theme. Finally some splashes and done!!

With this Layout I participate in Mixed Media Place October Challenge

Hope you enjoyed and got inspired.. Have a beautiful day!!

MMW Inspiration - Art Journal Layout

Hello there,

Today I have an Art Journal Layout to share as my inspiration project for Mixed Media Warriors. I was inspired by the soft pastel shades in Mixed Media Place October Challenge Moodboard. I have altered old pages using very soft and subtle tones.

For this project, I have used stencil from Dusty Attic, modeling paste from Prima, sprays from Lindys (Flat Fabios) and Prima Watercolor confections for my flowers. I did some background stamping too using kaisercraft and Finnabair stamps. Had a wonderful time creating it. 

With this project I participate in:

Hello my friends..

I am back today with a new post and this time it's a scrapbook page layout, DT project for Words & Paintery November Challenge which is a beautiful christmas palette this month and also my entry for the fabulous More Than Words Challenges November Main Challenge where the theme is Woodgrain/Outdoors.

Words & Paintery November Challenge

For this layout I have used woodgrain pattern papers from Fabrica Decoru. I started off with giving some distressing my papers. Once I was happy with it, I did some stenciling and arranging the photograph. I have used muslin cloth and sisal beneath the photograph to add some interest and height. I have used some gorgeous flowers from 49 & Market and chipoard shapes from 2Crafty Chipboard that I colored with Finnabair wax in "White Gold". To finish my layout, I added some Finnabair art stones and micro beads. Some detailed pictures..

With this project, I enter to Mpre Than Words Challenges November

Hope you got inspired.. Have a lovely day!!
