Mixed Media Calender!!

Good Evening guys!

Hope you are doing good. Today I am here to share a mixed media calendar which I made for the ongoing challenge on ICR. After a very long time I was able to click a few shots of the making process. I created it by recycling an old wedding invitation that was all golden and very pretty. Hope it inspires you all to create something.

Here is how the Calendar turned out to be...

Mixed Media Calender

To Make This..

• I took an old corrugated sheet and cut it according to the size of the wedding card. Then I peeled off some of the covering from the edges, distressed it vintage and added some texture paste. Next to create the front panel I took a Pattern Paper from Paper Designers "Comfortable Afternoon" and adjusted its size accordingly. Then I tore the edges a bit and distressed this also vintage.

•  To add textures to the front panel applied homemade texture paste through a few stencils from Little Birdie. Also stamped Mudra's Script Stamp here and there. Then I used the pieces torn from corrugated sheet to make tree branches. To do so I rolled them,and applied glue and brown color. Finally arranged these pieces on the PP.

• Then created the calendar part. It is a free print out which I pasted on white card stocks of  double size. Punched two holes on all of them and added two rings. Then added a hanging part created using foam tape and placed a hand written 2017 on top of it. Hope this picture makes it clear.

• Finally added some hand cut flowers, two bird cages and a few stamped and heat embossed butterflies.
• For the inside I attached one of the leaflets from the wedding card to make it stand, coated the whole inner part with black acrylic paint and dry brushed it golden.

Emboss Resist!

Good evening everyone!!

I am back again with one more card. I have made this card taking a few challenges into consideration. In this card I have tried Emboss resist technique for the first time. A few days back I got hold of a beautiful stamp set by Mudra- "Ria". So this is my first card using this stamp. And I love it so much, I think a many more are gonna come.

Here is the card..

Emboss Resist Technique

To make this card:
●I took a thick white cardstock and stamped Itsy Bitsy lace stamp with versamark white ink. Then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. To bring out the design applied vintage distress ink.
●Next applied homemade texture paste through script stencil to add some texture.
●Then added paper doily and lace distressed with Broken China Distress Ink.
●Next element was the corrugated tag colored black with Ria. She has been stamped on watercolor paper and colored using watercolor pencils.
●Finally added some handmade flowers and the sentiment "Where there is love there is life".

Another Mixed Media Card!!

Hello Friends!

A few days back I received some free goodies from Itsy Bitsy which included a stamp set and 2 ink pads. I came up with this card using this stamp set. This one is almost build along the same lines as my last mixed media card.

Here is the card...

Mixed Media Card

To make this-

• I took a white thick paper from a wedding invite and applied some texture paste through honey comb and script stencils. Then sprayed blue and black mist. Distressedd the edges with scissors and applied black pigment ink.
• To build the central panel added a paper doily, some gauze, black thread and some handmade flowers. Then made 4 tags sponged blue of two thickness and stamped the sentiments from stamp set sent by Itsy Bitsy.They give very crisp boundaries.
• Stamped the Main sentiment on absolute white paper to make it more prominent. Finally added the whole profject to the card base.

Mixed Media Card!

Good Evening Friends!!

This my first post of the year 2017. So before sharing the card, I would like to wish you all A VERY HAPPY AND CRAFTY NEW YEAR AHEAD!!

This New Year has begun with an amazing start. Every Thursday my favorite store, Itsy Bitsy puts a crafter in spotlight. Through which we come to know more about our fellow crafters. And this week...They have chosen me. This recognition means a lot to me. And for this I would like to thank Rashmi Harish Ma'm and the whole Itsy Bitsy Team.

As a part of this I was asked to put up a new work along with its tutorial. So here is the card that I made..
