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".

Diwali Card

Diwali Card

To make this card first I stamped mandalas from the beautiful lace stamp set from Itsy-bitsy on a white card stock and heat embossed it. Then took a smaller cardstock and stamped it with white ink in such a way that it overlapped the Black mandalas in the BG. Heat embossed it and painted it pink. Made the shaker part and added a dia cutout from heat embossed mandala on a black cardstock. The sentiment is a printout. Attached the main cardstock to a maroon one. Finally added some blings.

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.

Birthday Invite

Birthday Invite

To make this I have upcycled an old wedding card, package box, and paper from old magazine.
Firstly I took two thick paper cut out from wedding card. On one of them stuck pieces of magazine. Applied a layer of guesso. Added some colors and stamped a bit to create the BG.Painted the edges. Added lace, celebration banner using glitter tape, a quilled white dress(have applied golden paint on the strips, though not visible in the pic :( ), handmade flowers and sentiment. Now coming to the sliding tag part..For this I used beautiful tutorial by Dr. Sonia. But instead of foam tape I have used strips from packaging box. On the inside of the tag  I distressed the edges wrote the Invite to be filled later.I also made a matching box for it.

Good  morning bloggers!

Before we talk about my new project I would like to thank all of you for appreciating my last card. 
And I would love to welcome Sindhu Kanagavel for joining us.

Coming back to the current project. I loved making it, but this time its neither a card nor a tag. I have tried something new, a LAYOUT.  That is what I like about crafting. Just like Medical Science it has wide horizons. All you have to do is to keep expanding your wings.  Here is a sneak peak of the Layout.

Love Layout

I got inspired by Chirali's moodboard on the Lulupu.

Here it is..

I have tried to incorporate most of the elements of the moodboard i.e. Hearts, stripes, crumpled sheet, flowers with leaves, "I love you"sentiment, feathers(with golden tips), thread, red, pink and craft colours.

To make this LO I first took a craft colored sheet with (golden tinge) from an old wedding card and distressed its edges with scissors and slightly pink and black shades of something..(suspense...learned to create suspence from Pooja from  reusing,cards & quilling ). Attached this sheet to a black one with distressed edges. Then glued black(ish) strips from PP at diagonal ends that I had created long time back following Pooja's pictorial.

Love Layout

Attached a lace again distressed in black and pink shades. Took a black piece of sheet and crumbled it. Uncrumbled it taking care not to tear it and applied gold acrylic paint on the raised area using brush. Attached it over the base and covered it with blackened gauze pieces. Over it added a circle distressed pink, a photo area , sequins, some hand made flowers and drying leaves and feathers from garden.

Love Layout

Two hearts were added using foam tape to give some dimension. One was distressed  and covered with black twine and other covered with pink loose glitter.

Love Layout

Used two sentiments, one was stamped("life is wonderful with you") and other hand written(" I love you"). Distressed its edges too..
(using an old makeup kit no longer in use:Two benefits-1. So many shades..

                               2. Smells good :D)

Love Layout

Finally added golden tinge to everything ..the flowers, the leaves, the gauze..(Hope I haven't overloaded it with gold).

Here is the final LO..
