Mixed Media-Wonderful

Hello everyone...it's Mixed Media art

Today I'm sharing another project using the new Perfect Paints - specifically, the Comic Shimmer mists, Color-Art iridescent paints. My first project for "More than words " challenge with the word "Wonderful" made by cotton cloth base mixed media, that turned out bright and very colorful.

I was inspired by the color pink and gold.

"'I used the word WONDERFUL, bcoz, February gives me a lot of wonderful moments, I won Dusty attic last month challenge, and plus 3 more other blog challenges....(Lulupu, Rheddy's creative and 613 avenue create)"

I got this different look by using a base of black gesso, and applying the paints with a dry-brush technique that put the color on with a lighter coating and let the black & white gesso show through in spots. The shimmer of these paints really gives this muted look a beautiful glow...

I have some photo's of step by step work pic

1. Thick cotton cloth

2. Gluing on 1mm chipboard

3. Adding one more layer net design cloth

4. Prime with black gesso

5. Arraigning Emblishments: Dusty attic corner flourish chippies with metal charms.

6. These are the colors used on this mixed media:

Iridescent : red, pink and gold

Shimmerz Mists : Candy pink, Vintage Mulberry

Inka Gold for finishing touch.

My 1st handmade card

Hi everyone!

Today,today I have a mini art to share with you for Lulupu Recipe challenge, its very interesting challenge, so i set out to make a handmade card and wanted them to be clean and simple. They needed to be simple and clean in design and easy to assemble. A few weeks back I planed to make this card to my husband for our wedding anniversary. I was short on time, so I just had to put something together in an hour or so, and no ideas or anything.

So I quickly decided to go for a small card, approx. A6 size. Started with a pretty plane base of natural color card stock for the card, with scalloped edges around a soft pattern paper ( Prima paper 6X6 ) as background and just add embellishments randomly and quickly as it all came together.

Here is how the front of the card came out;

For the embellishments, I added six flowers, cutting die leaves, net type cloth and small card piece from the card-stock and stamped "me and you what a team" on it. I then added a 3D Sticker for pop up the stamped image as well, I glued rose on the left and right top corner with leaves.

Have a WONDERFUL week my sweet visitors, and I hope to see you all back again soon! Hope you liked my today's share.

3 Fold Album

I'm back with another project, no paint, no mediums....only paper craft. I come up to you my latest creation 3 fold photo Album.

A photo album always helps to memorize the very enjoyable & delightful moments. You just need to capture one or more photos & then after developing these images you can store these pictures into albums. Mostly for one picture a photo frame is preferable while for more than two pictures you can use a photo album.

If you are searching for the modern or different from others and contemporary designs of handmade photo album then you are on the right place, because today on this page I am going to discuss the all about how you can prepare a very beautiful picture album at home by using various craft items.

Have a look at this handmade photo album,This album is presented without photos, usually 11 mini photos can add. For making this style of album the things which required are hard papers or chipboard sheet (for base) for decoration you can take colorful papers, printed papers, plain papers etc, here i used Blue fern studio pattern paper set "SANCTUARY". Glue (for pasting), scissors (for cutting), beads..lace...paper flowers...metal charms...laser cut chipboard....stamp image (for decoration). For binding not required any thread, you can see my previous post here

Click here.

Cut sheets into 3 equal A5 size, during cutting paper you must keep the size of photos into your mind. After gluing the base papers ( here brown color) use mode podge on papers, mainly on edges, And make it design as pockets, flap opens, pick up tags ......with embellished blossoms, metal charms, die cuts.

1st page is a fold out page, holding 4 photos.

2nd page is a pocket page, and contains photo holding tags.

3rd page can hold one photo and 4th page is made for pop up photos.

I do hope you have enjoyed seeing my 3 fold Album. I hope I have inspired you to try this simple 3 fold album for yourself. It is easy to work and its not that much difficult to make, even i don't have much experience making albums. This is the 3rd one.

Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting my blog.

Do enjoy the rest of your day.

Take care and God Bless.

Welcome back, today I have a project to share with you for Dusty Attic mood board challenge. I am still loving creating mixed media on canvases...This canvas combines two of my Faves, Simmers mists & Dusty Attic chippies! I had fun creating this canvas, it was nice to just experiment and play, I am soo happy with the results too!!

Its 5 X 9 canvas

Here i made a dimensional part, by cutting center of the canvas. And add rectangle card stock box.

This Dusty attic chippies... Corner and Fly Birds were perfect for this piece! I love this Butterfly chippies too!!

You can see how yummy the Crafters workshops flower stencil on corners, I love the effect you get when you spray the smooch spritz over them too!

I love the metal charms...Thin filigree with big brad and word plate "DREAM" just perfect

Handmade Family tree

Hi all, Today i am really excited to share with you my new creation....A Family tree.
Family Trees have a history of being very mechanical, colorless and photo-less, so i want to create something interactive and of course beautiful

All families are different. Some are small, some extended, some blended. For young children it can be very difficult to conceptualize where they fit in and how we are all connected.

As an adult, it’s probably not often you think about your family history, let alone chat to your children about it.

Children use each of their senses to understand complex concepts, with sight at the top of the list. So I devised a craft activity using found objects from my craft room to create a visual, three-dimensional family tree. It was great fun to make this. Here i made a small family tree. I am going to show you how to make this 3D Family tree. Enjoy! And I already give you an idea, how to make steel wire tree. You can see my previous post ( click here )

Made of Steel wire material

A Family Tree that has 5 photo frames, if you want more, you can add more pendant frames
Make separate branches. After all, twist together all separate twisted wires

Add some leafs on end of branches, before twisting up to end

Here i used base is flat rectangle plastic one, recently we bought a toy (Honda bike) for my son. This is a stand for bike.

I filled with small piece of tissue papers, Prima modeling paste and Prima white sand

After all this, gluing more metal leafs, meal frames (for holding photos), resin small flowers....and i did touch with Prima white sand on whole tree branches. After drying all i used Prima black gesso, White gesso, some shade lindy's sprays(moon shadow mist gold, yellow shade). Viva inka gold and Pima iridescent gold mica powder for the finishing touch .....For coloring flowers and leafs i used Prima mica powders(purple and teal).

Here is some close ups
