Interactive card: friends for life

Hi

    Here's an interactive card i made..

The images are from itsybitsy bear stamp set..
For the bear i used memento london fog ink to stamp the image (to achieve a no line watercolor look)

black soot and worn lipstick distress inks to color.. The shades achieved by different level of ditutions.. Added fine lines to add more depth and texture..

The flower bouquet stamped with archival ink, colored with spun sugar, worn lipstick, mustard seed & mowed lawn.. I also heat embossed the flowers with wow clear glitter embossing powder & zig embossing brush pen..

Honey jar colored with same color scheme & the hearts with my usual fav technique, wink of stella clear glitter & glossy accents..

Did the sliding mechanism using coin & foam squares..

For the background i drew some squiggly lines with grey & pink sketch pens, added some flowers with Wow platinum sparkle embossing powder..

The pink was quite striking so i used uniball signo white pen to mute down & add more texture as well..

Sentiment is from Penny Black eloquence stamp set using memento Rosebud ink..

Hope you liked this little project of mine :)

Altered art : vase

Hi 
  Here's another fun altered art project i made for the guest designer post over at the Lulupu blog :)

It started with an empty conditioner bottle ;) 

I covered the whole bottle with scraps from a very old novel ( I got a set of 5 books for 5 rupees in Pondicherry!!) With mixture of equal amounts of PVA glue(i used fevicol) and water.. I find foam brush works best for this..

Then wound a packaging hemp twine around the neck of the bottle giving a good coat of glue to avoid frizziness & seal all the fibres in.. I added gesso randomly over the surface.

I used Dylusions paint (vibrant turquoise, fresh lime) to paint the bottle in random patterns blending all the way with a wet baby wipe.. Added some white gesso splashes.

Did some random stamping With kaisercraft texture stamps (faded dots, geo) & also the sentiment from Inkadinkado stampset with black archival ink..
Gave a coat of Mod podge gloss to seal the whole surface & to add that little shine..

For the embellishments, i made the flowers using the paper from the same old book following the classical paper flower making technique.. Inked on both sides of paper using distress inks (mowed lawn, broken china, peacock feathers) applied gel medium (camlin) to seal the ink..Then Cut a spiral out of it with Faber castell scalloped edge scissors & rolled into a flower..

Added a twin bow made of the hemp twine & a metal charm..

The big flower is made out of Papericious Teal Steal patterned paper collection with WRMK flower punch board.. (XS & XXS size) secured with a brad.. For the stem, Stuck green tape around a bendable wire & attached the loop to the brad.. Hence the flower sways beautifully which formed the inspiration behind the quote "Dance to your own music" :D

I hope you liked it & the steps were of some help :) I would be glad to hear ur thoughts on this :)

mini art jounal layout Raksha Bandan

Hi..
Here's page 6 of my mini art journal layout based on Raksha Bandan celebs...

Background:
   Started with Distress inks (mustard seed, wild honey, spiced marmalade) & did some water splotches to achieve more texture & also used quite a few layering stenclis to build more interest on the bg..

Rakhi:
I started off by drawing a flower & cutting it out of an orange foam sheet.. Layered with yellow circle  & a shwastik..
Added some say it in crystals pearl.. I added 3D glitter gold around the petals but unfortunately the gold didn't quite show up & looked mostly like a clear glue..
I cut some gold confetti lying around in my home & added at the back & embroidery twine made into a braided rope..

I drew the diyas with gold alcohol marker & colored with distress inks..
Wrote the sentiment with Staedtler fine liner & uniball signo white gel pen..

Added some gold & copper sequins to finish off my layout :)

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..
