Creating with Heartfelt is fun , interesting and a super creative journey. Its been a while I have blogged and so thought our monthly blog would be the best one to get back with.

Today I have a beautiful money envelope I created using loads of heartfelt dies and papers. It has a ribbon tied opening with 3 folds. Below is a close up pic that I have for you all.

Creating this has been very simple however shaping the flowers , coloring the leaves has been so liberating.

A beautiful Change!

Hello Everyone, today I have a very beautiful project to share with you all! Its quite summery , bright and shiny on my part of the world. This project is inspired by where I live , mood boards and definitely the fun of working with colors and chips.

The moodboard of Dusty Attic inspired me a lot not only with the bright yellow and orange but also with the theme. I am working with lot of chips featuring in my projects and also in my altered Canvas I preferred to pick up a quote as a focal point than an image or a photograph.

So here's some close ups and the project I created.Every element in my project has a story to attach to the layout.

 
Here I am using a Dusty Attic chipboard inspired by the wedding bouquet and the tale center piece. I gessoed it and then painted it green with some splashes of stones.

   
    I love flowers and love to make handmade ones, so the orange and yellow color palate in the moodboard is from where I picked up the colors also flowers form part of the storyboard. The chipboards are colored with golden and silver sparkles depicting the bride shoe in the picture.

    Creation of a butterfly is a new life , a new beginning and so is the wedding . I loved the quote as it adds a lot of depth.

       
    Here's the final canvas which shows the entire layout with all the elements,.

   

I am entering this in the dusty Attic Blog. Below is where you will find all the elements I used from

Hope you liked it and do share your love and comment.

Until then Happy Crafting!

Memories.. are FOREVER!

Hello Friends, its been a while I have blogged my creative journey and new inspiration with you all! However various challenges around the world tickled me to get into my creative juices.

Today I have a mixed media Canvas for you all inspired by 2 mixed media challenges and also introducing the Craftslane newly launched chips. You can see all the beautiful wooden chips here at the link Craftslane.

Now onto the project, I love keeping 2-3 colors on my canvas while leaving a lot of the white space allowing it to draw most of the focus on the element. Also I prefer to use words and phrases instead of photographs.

I chose the Frame and Memory as a inspiration from the More Than words challenge and the color palette from Mixed Media Art Challenge. Create mixed media textured background on which assembled on the various elements , chips , Prima flowers around a decorate Prima Frame.

Choose a Resin Frame around which all  the elements are assembled and also the word Forever. Memories are for forever hence Forever signifies Memory for me.

The color palette , flower and the butterfly resonates in my mixed media canvas.

Let me know how you liked my projects,

Until then Happy Crafting!

Once the flowers are dried added more shades of dried marigold and picked raspberry. Heat set them again and at the end dabbed some glossy accents on the petals tip and sprinkle some crystal clear. For the leaves it is shaded using library green and leaf green archival ink and also sprinkled with crystal clear and heat set it after shaping the leaf ends.Stamp the butterfly image onto a white card stock using embossing ink and heat emboss with silver embossing powder and heat set it.

Hello friends, welcome to another post of mine where I am breaking some of my comfort zone , playing with some colors , wooden chips and foam flowers.

I am at Craftslane today with their amazing collection of Wooden bases , chips and some paints which has been newly introduced.

I have taken a wooden round placement mat and covered with white gesso. Later cover the base with some lace , corrugated sheet ,  and also stencil the background. Once all covered apply another quote of white gesso. Once all dried you can choose your paint and then start with the layers. For the flowers I have shaped them using a foam sheet and some stamens. The color palette I tried and kept it to Magenta , ruby and shades of pink. Used the Bird cage as the focal for the layout.After applying a coat of white gesso painted the cage white and also added the small birdie.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!

Until then Happy Crafting!

Lets Celebrate!

Hello Friends, welcome to another project of mine where I have used the newly released peonies in a very different way. Yes its not shaped flowers or glitters but simple coloring. Actually when I received this collection in my hand I was tempted to start coloring seeing the beautiful images of the peonies.

Instructions

The final card measures 5.5” x 4.2” and in created with some water coloring and layering to raise the colored peonies. The card is pretty simple however the coloring of the peonies will take some attention and time as the sketch is very accurate and details. The more the shades the better will be the folds of the flower petals. First stamp the small and large peonies on a white card stock using black archival ink. First apply a very light coat of the Plum archival ink on the edges and the center of the petals. Later using zig brushes and Raspberry pink start shading every petal. This way complete all the flowers and leaves.To create the background stamp some peonies images at random corners using Shadow Grey archival Ink. Cut and score a grey card stock at 4.25”x5.5” to form the card base. The stamped white card stock measure 1/8” less than the card base. Using a foam adhesive adhere the top layer to the card base. Once the card panel is ready layer the colored peonies and then on top attach the sentiment. All the layers are raised using chipboard pieces.
