Altered Ring box

Hi all,
Lulupu announced that....they are celebrating 4th birthday and new challenge is, to create a  birthday related piece of art I knew what I wanted to do 
I usually try to show you something more paper-based, mixed media and altered art. This time I wanted to make something small, cute, girly and more from the home decor area. :)
A little mixed-media ring box and birthday tag.

My first project is a tag with an birthday theme. I've used a Prima butterfly 6X6 paper collection. And cream card-stock as my base, adding layers of papers and Prima stamped images then highlighted the paper edges with distress Ink. Glitter beads gems and Prima glass glitters which gives an amazing finish.

I made flowers too by using these beautiful papers
My second project is a box. I started by added beads, flowers, tiny metal charms etc. Then covering it with black and white gesso. I used a clear crackle on the top surface is uneven and has a bit of texture. And then I started playing with Prima mica powders. 


I decorated this box inside with some small embellishments, and I tried to make it as girly and delicate, some mixed rich colors covered with glass glitters, a beautiful surprise box from the "Tresure" collection, 




 I really like the final look and I think it can be a great and very unique way to pack some gift for a friend or just to keep some little treasures on the shelf. Using media is always a great joy for me and the effect is always one of a kind.

Journey to a dream home

Welcome! I'm so glad you are here! Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful sunny day? Here in the Bangalore, Spring has arrived and the weather is absolutely perfect! I have much inspiration to share with you today! Oh and of course..this project I created using Dusty Attic chipboard embellishments.... they are so beautiful and whimsical.
First project of this month and that means it's time to start enjoying the challenges. Dusty attic Mood Board March challenge! This time the mood board is inspired by the 'Life is a journey' and Happiness. So it should be lots of beautiful natural imagery and cool summery colors. 
And here is my inspiration 
Life is journey....we are big believers in enjoying each day, enjoying the journey to the dream...


Dusty attic chipboard used on this

    
I have used a brick stencil on the background

The Dusty Attic door was first painted with white Gesso with Prima Teal mica powder. Then I applied a Trim Holtz Distress crackle clear medium and heat it up a little bit to get some texture. Once dry, I randomly painted with Prima iridescent gold 
A4 size chipboard is my base of this project.....i made dimensional part, like canvas back
 




That's it for today! 
Hope you enjoyed this post.

Here is my entry

Altered embroidery hoop as a card

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I just thought I'd share my latest 3D decor art 
One more altered embroidery hoop.....:-) 

I made using the Blue fern studio Frolic collection!. and I always love to use the pretty wood embellishments, I immediately thought of the clock frame to embellish this inside hoop with net cloth, then I added some blossoms on the transparent clock design that goes on top of the front piece. Here is a photo of the first two pieces... 


I took this pic of me and my hubby when we were up at my brother's engagement, just before we went out to hall   

You can find step by step photos 


Here i make it as a card style or open and shut .....something like, so i added one metal embellishment "door butt hings" into the hoop.


5 inch diameter clock



Used 1mm chipboard piece for outer ring(2nd page) of hoop


Here is the design



I also used Crafters workshop stencils to add some texture and design to the corner of my background paper.  



I loved the soft pink with the touches of gold 



some more close ups


I had so much fun...you guys know how much I love Embroidery hoop! I know I still need more
Keep up with all the crafty goodness by following me ;-)
