Altered Journal Cover

Hi Crafters,

Just a week before reached UAE home. Waiting to break my slumber and so this Mixed media project today.

Altered my new Art Journal cover using Art alchemy waxes goodness.

I love the subtle peek of the various gorgeous colors against the background!!!

  • Took A5 kraft journal cover.
  • Prepped with black gesso.
  • Stenciled with TCW Art is stencil using Prima Modeling paste.
  • Added centrally a cheese cloth and brushed the whole surface with black gesso again.
  • Applied Prima clear crackle at random places for extra textures.
  • Added Dusty Attic chipboards,Resin pieces, Metal embellies, art stones using Multimedia Matte.
  • Brushed all again with black gesso and applied series of LSG sprays.
  • Then came Prima art alchemy waxes for the textures to show through.
Hope you enjoy seeing this Altered journal cover.

Layered Love Card


Dear Friends!
“Very Happy Valentine’s Day to all”
Am back today with a  Layered Love card. Was inspired by soft delicate shades and the gold colors and so incorporated it into the card. 
Its a pretty mix of pattern papers with Gold polka dots and bold polka prints. Diecut a front panel and layered over a peach shade pp. 
The focal cluster is mounted on a resin frame with few diecut flourishes, diecut leaves and pretty mix of florals. 
Big bold red resin floral heart added as a pretty addition.
Crocheted lace with a floral cabochon and a white embossed vellum butterfly  are added with a word embellies.
A small wooden tag is distressed and the sentiment is added from Inspired by stamping.
Few clear droplets, peach pearls are added as final touches.

Hi crafters!!

“Very Happy Anniversary to Us” 

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary and i made this Mixed media canvas and gifted him today. As always…His smile says it all 🙂

Let’s see the procedure:

  • Took 9×6.25″ flat panel canvas and gessoed it, after adding layers of tissues. 
  • Added Plumeria and Key Lime acrylic glazes a wash on the background.

  • Stamped and white heat embossed Sosuzy couple stamp on vellum and mounted onto a corrugated paper strip which was dry brushed with gesso.
  • Stenciling done using Prima light paste with Tile TCW stencil.
  • Few random stamping here there.
  • Timholtz chitchat stickers matted with brown cs and mounted on canvas using foam adhesives. 
  • Floral clusters , crocheted leaves sponged with green stazon, which was primarily a lace, white tulle, pearl strings were added.
  • Prima resin icon, ampersand were added.
  • Few wood veneer hearts and wyacinanka chipboard, Kaisercraft butterflies are stamped on to vellum for all those light airy final touches.

Hope you like this Simple Canvas…I absolutely love making it!

Recently i attended a Brush calligraphy workshop in Dubai, last November…Added those few calligraphic touches too!!

You see…i just can’t miss stamping, coloring, fussy cutting and of course Heat embossing 😀
(P.S: Ignore the apostrophe…i did made changes 😀 )

I just kept all on top of my IKEA chest of drawers, which is a recent addition to my craft space 🙂

That is all from me today 🙂
