Hello Everyone,

Its a Make Art Challenge with Wendy Vecchi  Archival Reinkers theme this month.

I love her technique to create background with them.

Here, on my project I used lot of Reinkers

to create the background I've used Forget me not, leaf green, gold mixative and rubbing alcohol.

I mixed leaf green archival reinker with wendy's white embossing paste and created wall texture with stencil. I applied little bit tree branch ink mixed with rubbing alcohol onto some of the bricks. 

Branch and bird is die cut from Tim's Sizzix die

I created flowers with Tim's Menagerie paper pad and Tattered flower die. I've done some text stamping with black archival ink.

Door is a chipboard piece, on which I applied crackle paste, next applied archival inks.

this is a quck post today, thanks so much everyone who follow my blog, leave kind words... it means a lot to me! Thanks again for stopping by.

Hello Everyone,

I had fun time yesterday doing this papercraft creation. It has been long time I made album....

I won huge Raffle at Lulupu birthday bash recently and got these wonderful goodies.....

and Kaisercraft Pina Colada paper collection. It has some beautiful colors and images of birds and butterflies. I could not resist to make this spring mini album...in which my daughter can stick her photos from hill side vacation.

Here it is...

Aren't those birds gorgeous!

I've taken individual page photos.

I used Sizzix frame die, to get this lovely shape for pages.

All design pages are matted on thick chipboard.

I've lots of flower and leaves dies and I rarely use them... this was the time, I had to get them out. I loved how my flowers turned out.

Love this page....most favourite in this mini. 

All backside pages are kept for more photo additions!

So fairy Pretty...

Hello Everyone,

I've made this new canvas keeping in mind some of the challenges.

I've chosen colors from Rubber Dance color challenge of April.

I've used two stencils Prima Netting stencil and crafters workshop Art is...stencil. I got two layers of texture with Prima Finnabaire modelling paste. It looks fab on one another.

Here, you will find texture with gauze, doily, glass beads, buttons and texture paste.

I've used Colour Arte Radiant Rains color sprays. It also gives beautiful shimmer.

I've used Finnabaire texture stamps in the background. 

The cute three butterflies on canvas are stamped from Prima Rust and dust stamp set...designed by Fin. I fuzzy cut them and colored with Colour Arte colors.

In the right bottom corner I've created layers with canvas strips, design paper strips, beads, texture paste, gauze. I had applied gesso initially, so all those layers have wonderfully taken colors.

This canvas was all about creating texture and keeping some space empty as well. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Here and Now....

Hello Everyone,

I've small canvas to share with you today, which is full of Tim Holtz goodies. 

here we go....

Are you liking that dragonfly in the center....me too!  :)

It all started with this background. I used thick white cardstock, which is attached to a canvas. Next I spritzed Peacock feathers, Evergreen bough, Picket fence distress stains on it plus little bit water to spread the colors. I used heat tool to dry it completely. I love to use text in my background, so I brought Melange tissue wrap onto  my table, used Ranger Gel medium to adhre part of it to my colored surface. Gel medium dries transparent.... love it! 

Next layer was Black soot distress ink to get honeycomb image through stencil.

Here, you will also see flower texture created with Tim's Doily stencil and Ranger Gloss texture paste....wish you could see it in real! It looks fab, I am inspired by Tim's technique here, ranger texture paste takes colors,unlike other texture pastes. In my canvas it has picked up the green and blue from beneath. 

Remnant Rubs are fast way to create one more layer...don't they look like I stamped with Archival ink.

Here, you will also see, I have created dimensional layer with piece of design paper which has butterflies on it. I attached Industrial frame sticker on it which is colored with alcohol ink.

Sentiment 'Here and Now' are from Ideology Alpha parts, which are colored with Alcohol inks too.

Keeping this number theme for my canvas...I added Ruler ribbon. 

 

 

And...this beautiful Dragonfly, I cut it from Acetate with the help of Sizzix Layerd Drgonfly. I cut two pieces, colored them in the middle only with Sailboat blue and silver mixative alcohol inks. Attached them together in the middle only to show flying movement of dragonfly.

And for his body, I filled Ideology corked vial with silver glass beads and attached.

 

I had fun time playing with my Tim Holtz goodies.....never knew I had so many in my stash! LOL

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Create - Mixed Media Canvas

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday, I had a great time playing along with my DCWV Linen Closet Paper stack. It has some wonderful golden, blue, yellow and brown colored design papers.

Here is the mixed media canvas I made using only that colllection.

I love to create layers, so this piece has many layers with design papers, diecuts, modeling paste paste, inks, stamping and embellishments.

For the base I've used tiny dotted cream color paper. On that I created some designs randomly with circle/ basket wave stencil and archival inks. Next layer was Finnabaire modelling paste and Tim's Gothic stencil, I love this design. I used Lindy's sprays in various colors here. I also did some texture stamping.

I've created these beautiful Roses with DCWV design paper and Spellbinders blossom die. I also cut out some diecuts from paper stack to use as embellishments. I've used May Arts Ribbon and Plaid Folk Art Glam Gold Color to enhance the beauty.

Products used:

DCWV Linen Closet Paper Stack

May Arts ribbon

Glue Dots

Modge Podge- Matte

Folk Art Glam gold color

Finnabire Modeling paste

Tim holtz stencil
