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.

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..

Lets Celebrate you!!

I have one more card for today. This card  is for the on going Becca's The Hop to Stop Domestic Violence. I don' t have any personal experience of this but Domestic Violence is a demon that is lurking behind so many doors of our modern society. And I feel the pain of all those who have been victimised by it.

Here is the card ..

Lets Celebrate you 

To make this I took a white cardstock and applied homemade mixed media paste through Flora stencil from  Little Birdie. Added some silver glitter while it was still wet. When it dried colored it yellow with homemade spray. Stamped daffodils from Jane's Doodles with Versacolor white ink and and heat embossed it. Colored it with watercolor pencils. It looks so pretty to me. (What do you think?) Next added some gold glint behind the flowers and added some purple blings. Added this cardstock a purple one. Finally added a stamped sentiment from Courtyard Fauna by Itsy-bitsy saying "Lets celebrate you".

Art Journaling-#Page 1

Hello crafters!

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my invitation birthday card. And I would also love to welcome two new freinds joining us today Lavanya and Susan.

Today's post is really special to me. This is my first post as a Guest Designer..Yay!! And I am very grateful to Unstampabelles team especially Susan for giving me this oppurtunity.

The theme for this month at Unstampabelles is..

Outside Your Comfort Zone Twist

TWIST :have a different edge!

I was really worried at first when I saw the theme. But then I decided to try something new. And after watching numerous videos I am here to showcase my first try at art journaling.. and also my first attempt at mixed media..

To make this I took an old diary and glued some pages together to create two thick pages. Applied homemade guesso over it and colored with acrylics till I liked it. Then added some hanmade texture paste using stencil. The stencil with circle is also handmade using punches.
Took a cap and stamped white acrylic diagonally. Splattered white paint all over it. The picture and sentiment are printouts. The sentiment says "Until you spread your wings, you will have no idea how far you can FLY". Behind the picture I have added a hand cut frame,script pattern paper and a guaze piece.Finally attached a flower and some shaded circular printouts.

Some more shots..

And I also made a watermark this week :).

Hope I was able to inspire you a little to go outside your comfort zone. Do participate in Unstampabelles October challenge.
