Mixed Media Altered Box

Hello Friends...
I'm back today with my first mixed media altered project.
I have altered a gift box which I have kept since long for some experiment like this. I am very new to mixed media and I have never tried so much of layering before on my projects.
So let's take a look...

It's always fun to try something new and I was really excited to alter this one...
First I applied a coat of gesso on the lid of the box. With the help of stencils and texture paste I created the designs on it. after it was partially dry I applied a coat of crackle paste. Once it was half dried I applied another thick coat of the crackle paste. This really looks fabulous and gives this rough and old look to it.

 Then I started coloring. First I applied a coat of black acrylic paint all over and once it is dried I cleaned the surface with a wet cloth. Then I applied turquoise blue metallic paint and golden metallic paint alternatively with dry brush technique.Then I added some small stones which I collected from the sea-shore on our recent holiday and colored them too with green acrylic paint and then dry brushed with golden. Then I applied gesso on some chipboards and once these dried colored and glued on the box. I also adhered 3 metal dragonfly and a tag which I distressed at the edges and adhered on a chipboard.
Finally I added some rhinestones here and there for some bling.

 For the box I glued some tissue on the outer body and colored with black acrylic paint. Once that dried I dry brushed it with turquoise blue and golden metallic colors for the same effect as the lid.

Some more pics of the box...

Layout : Hello

Hi Friends,

Today I'm going to share a layout with warm colors. Winter is my favorite season and I love vibrant colors too. 

I bought this paper pack few weeks back and wanted to make a LO using it and here it comes...

This is 12"*12" LO. I have layered the papers from two different packs and used distress ink on the inside edges of the bg. For the photo mat I layered two different papers and used two different shades of distress ink on the edges.

For stenciling I used Mudra stencil and applied texture paste randomly and colored them with distress ink and water color. Then I wrapped a string of jute cord around it.Sprinkled a bit of gesso on the whole sheet ( hope u can see the random small drops). Then decorated with lace, butterfly stckers and a few flowers. Finally I added a small chippie on the upper side of the picture and a chippie sentiment "Hello"to complete the look.

Quilled Lord Jagannath

Hello Friends,
Today I am very happy sharing my DT project for Indian Quilling Challenge. This month the theme is "Favorite Technique".

I have a lot of favorite technique in Quilling. I love 3D, I love beehive, comb technique and tight quilling. But my most favorite is "Line Quilling". In this technique u can make most intricate designs. It looks so beautiful. When this theme came up, I was very sure to make something on this as I have not made many projects using this technique.

Though this looks very beautiful, It takes a lot of time and requires patience to align this small papers on ur desired designs. If u r new to this technique, do try with 10mm strips. These are bigger in width and are easy to handle as compared to 5mm or 3mm. But as I'll frame this particular one for my wall, I used 3mm strips here.

I hand drawn the picture that I wanted to quill. It was my long time wish to quill Lord Jagannath. Jagannath temple, which is one of the "Chaar Dhaam"is in the holy town Puri which is situated in "Odisha", the eastern state of India. So take a look...

Coming on to the project, First I made the face of the Lord which is circular. Then I tried to add the conch, the lotus and the Sudarshan Chakra around his face. Jagannth ji has big circular eyes that i have made here. For the face I used black, white and red paint to make the base on paper and then using 3mm quilling strips I made the outline and all the other designs here.

Lord Jagannath holds Sudarshan Chakra and Conch in both his hands and wears a lotus shaped crown on his head. As I was only making his face, I added all the symbols around him. Made 3 little snow flakes to decorate the surface. This is a wall frame and will be hanging on my wall shortly.

I tried a bit of embossing here. You can see the clear embossing under the 3 snow flakes. 

That's all for today.

A Quilled Fairy Garden

Hello Friends,

I'm back with another quilling project. It is quite an amazing experience making each part of it.
Take a look.

For this I took a chocolate box as the base. It is a cardboard box. I filled it with thermocol and cut a circular part for making the space for the pool. I colored the base grey to get a nice raw stone effect. Then I cut a plastic bottle and painted blue from outside to make it a pool. Once the base is done, I make the house with cardboard. I am planning to make a tutorial on how I made the house. If I do, then will definitely post it. Once the house is done I painted it and placed at the desired place. Then I placed a stone to show as a rock in the garden.

Then I made the tree beside the house. Once I completed it, I covered the trunk part with brown tape to give an older effect. Then I made these flower pots and glued them. Then made the bushes and the grass. Placed a snail on the grass beside the rock.  Placed sea shells around the pool to create a magical effect and also put them as stepping stones.

I used Pop Sticks to make the fence by simply gluing them.

Some closer look of my garden...

Art Journal #18

Hello Friends,

This month my son will celebrate his birthday.
 As I was making his spider man photo booth and other small essentials he demanded, I thought of making a journal page for him.
Though he likes to interfere in all my art works as he loves coloring so much, this time he calmly enjoyed as what Mommy is making for him. He advised me here n there also.

So, let's take a look

First I applied gesso on the page and let it completely dry. Then some random stamping here n there. Then I painted the entire surface with acrylic paint. I mixed water to get a lighter shade and then cut some paper to make an uneven banner. I stamped the letters individually and then cut and glued on the banner. 

Next i stamped the small hearts and Butterflies, colored and hand cut them, then glued on the page.

The emotions are also stamped and glued to finish up the look.

If my works inspire u leave some love in comments below.

Entering  More Than Words November Challenge

Every child is SPECIAL to their parents. I made this page for my son.

These strips and banners and the flower are from an OLD magazine, I used my NEW butterfly stamps, and painted the entire page BLUE.

Butterfly Cards

Hi Friends...
Today I'm here to share two cards which I made using the same stamp sets.
Right now I'm trying my hands on different techniques of card making and the first one here is a kind of experiment. But I'm happy with the outcome though I wasn't quite sure when I started making it.

Here is it...

Now to the technique...

I first stamped the butterfly stamp using Versamark clear stamp and then started the coloring once it was dried. No embossing at all. Just the coloring and yes all the butterflies were clearly visible. I forgot to take a picture of the process while making this one. Sharing another stamped card with the same technique.

Here is the card right after stamping...

So, as you can see the butterflies here...

I started coloring on it and then after I colored the entire card I used fabrecastle watercolor sketch pens for the shading of the butterflies. Then I sprayed some shimmer on the card using a paint brush. Hope it is visible in the photo. After adding the stamped sentiment from Pennyblack I added a few sequins to complete the look.

Now coming on to my next card.

Here also I tried to create a background with the stamps.

I used Beautiful butterfly and leafy stamp from Mudra again with distress ink. Water-colored the butterflies and then added a hand cut stamped butterfly on the sentiment.

Here is the card...

I love the bright colors of the cards.
