Quote frame

Hi..
  Here's a project with an interesting story behind (well to me atleast :D )

Well this was my first try to make a handmade cardstock frame following a tute i found randonly online.. I somehow messed up with the measurements & the canvas i intended to put there dint fit..
   Was about to discard the whole thing as the sides got a bit damaged, when this idea kinda stuck me all of a sudden.. I always thought about having a golden quote on a black base in my craft room.. I fixed the frame to a smaller size & wrote on it..
  & Hence this happened :D

I've written the quote with uniball gold alcohol based permanent marker.. I totally love that pen.. Can't rembr how many times i said that :D

Hope you liked my little project :)

Art journal: MUSIC IS BLISS

Hi
  Here's a layout from my art journal...

I have step by step PICTORIAL for this (aw finally i managed to make one aftr so long :D)

I started off by adhering paper bits from a very old novel.. Dats a easy way to get the antique feel...

I've used music notes decoupage napkins & white glue to add more elements on the bg..

Used walnut stain distress paint, vintage photo antique linen distress inks over the page to bring everything together..
I used Brustro brush pen to draw over the music keys & symbols.. Also drew some on my own to give a complete look..
Added texture paste through memory box alpha worn out stencil..

I applied camlin gel medium all over the page so that I get a nonporous surface & then i used brown sketch pens to give shading to the elements..
Sentiment is stamped using memento tuxedo black ink with WRMK alphabet stamps.. I reinforced it with the brush pen once again..The inks takes a while to dry.. I did mess up smearing it but it's easy to wipe off over the gel medium treated surface..

For the border i used WrMk distressing tool & also misted some water to make tearing the paper easier.. (Dat was a brave & tough decision :D:D) & rolled over ... Applied some gathered twigs distress ink & also brown sketch pen on the back side..

I stuck music notes washi tape on the page underneath (i always leave a page before starting on a new layout) & stuck the two pages completely.

Dat finishes my layout.. Hope you liked it..

Mini art journal layout: Nature is treasure

Hi
  To begin with, my website crashed again & so is my wordpress based blog :( Trying to resolve the issue but it's pretty hard having to cope up with this situation again & again..
Hence i've decided to switch completely over to blogger & evaluate other options later on..
All that sad stories apart.. Here's another page from my mini art journal :) :)

For the bg i used distress inks & paints & different layering stencils by Tim Holtz as well..
Random stamping with Kaisercraft triangles & Lace texture stamp, Tim Holtz little things stamp set..
Now for the quote, By 'Green is gold' i mean 'Nature is treasure' ;) stamped with worn text alphabet stamp set...
White dots & circles with Uniball Posca white marker..
Added some gold with acrylic paints, gel pen etc..

The pot of gold is from a Porta craft St.Patrick's day sticker set.. I sooooo luvvvv it :) :) it was my inspiration for this page :)

Hope u liked it.

Recycled flowers

Hi..
Here i'm sharing a project i made a looonnnggg time ago :D

Any Guesses about what they are made from?! :)



These are plastic straw flowers :) It took me quite a lot of time to cut each petal individually.! I pierced a hole through each of the petals & passed them through a metal string & tied the ends.. I don't have any pics of the making.. 'Ll try to do a pictorial if i ever had the patience to redo one more of these flowers :)

Hope you liked it.. Do lemme kno ur comments.. Thanks for your time..

Rose birthday card

Hi..
  Here's a b'de card i made for my friend Pon Malar which literally translates to Golden flower :)

I used Neena solar white card stock for the base as well as the panel.. In a standard size.. I used my scoring board & tool to create that stitched look on the border & added lines with gold gel pen..
Golden hearts washi tape used for the border behind

Sentiment is embossed with Ranger gold embossing powder on vellum.. (Avery Elle cakes & candles stamp set)
The swirls are hand drawn with Uniball gold marker (i absolutely love that pen)
The bow is made with a Golden twine which is always in my stash & i've no idea where it came from :D
Click here to view another project where i used it if u r curious :)

The flower is made using Handmade paper which i got from Pondicherry.. I dint use any punch.! I randomly watched few youtube tutorials regarding flowers without punches (sorry i don't have the link now.. 'Ll add if i find one) kinda combined many techniques  from each of them & finally managed to make this one ;)
After arranging & glueing all the petals down I dabbed the versamark ink pad on the top of the flower & dipped in the gold embossing powder & heat set it.. I guess that made all the difference in the world.!
Finally added some glue drops to look like dew..
I don't usually fancy making flowers but i loved this process & the outcome :)



This is the inside of the card with the  cake promised in the sentiment outside :D
Cupcake from Tim Holtz Blueprints assortment stampset, gold embossed & colored with distress inks..

Crafty love card

Hi
   Here's a watercolor card i made..

inspired from the craftshop banner here..



I've used distress inks & paints for the watercolored look.. Memento inks & Tim Holtz butterfly melange stamp..



I used inkadinkado stamp set for the crafty elements, colored with water color pencils, fussy cut & added glossy accents over them.. It was quite a  challenge fussy cutting those small objects but it was very much fun all the same.. The punched hearts are treated with my favy technique.. The wink of stella clear glitter & glossy accents combo.!





Sentiment is from Penny black Eloquence stamp set & the other half hand written...
