Altered Wooden Ladle – A Wall Hanging :)

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment
Hey Hello!!!

This time have come up with an altered wooden ladle….into a wall hanging 🙂

New wooden ladle was taken and painted in white acrylic paint and after drying,  distressed with Rich cocoa momento and sanded with sanding block to give a shabby chic look.

Before:

To level the depth of the ladle, added some packaging cardboard as strips and hot glued it. Then on top of it, added 2 English Tea Party Doily Angel wings is diecut from IBS vintage florals pp as base. The focal element – Butterfly is a diecut and distressed with Danube momento ink and added just below the sentiment diecut,which is also distressed with rich cocoa momento. A scallop border sticker is added as a trim under doilies on the baby pink tulle.

Handmade blooms 🙂

Tried making some crinkled flowers with pearl centers and added with florishes. Those leaves are from Ivy florish diecuts. Flowers are distressed with rich cocoa momento and Tumbled glass DI and misted with water to get shapes.

Wrapped the handle with pink grossgrain ribbon and added MS butterfly stamp and punch butterflies in series and a big butterfly diecut is added on a sentiment diecut saying “Spread your wings and Fly”. Few trims on the handle with blue grossgrain ribbon as loop for hanging 🙂

Love those sentiments and now only had time to create apt project for that 🙂
Hope you like it!!

Diecut – IO butterfly
MFT florishes die
Joy crafts florishes die for flowers

Treat boxes and Post-It Notes Holders :)

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment
Hi All!

Today’s post is not a card, but a quick attempt to make treat boxes and post-it notes holder. Its for my son’s class teacher and teacher assistant. Today we went to receive his progress report and admission card for KG-II. Oh ya…He successfully completed his KG-I 🙂 Feeling accomplished….

Seen many tutes in net and its my version of those using my own measurements. Used Patterned papers from Papermania and for Post it notes, layered Digital freebie on top of White CS.

Wanted to keep it simple and sweet, so added single flower on each, punched border, pearl centres and red grossgrain ribbon. Added Venetian frame label as banners for sentiment which is sponged using Wild honey Distress ink and Lady bug momento ink. For closure of those treat boxes and post-it notes, used partial diecutting of the same die used for sentiment banner and velcro added inside. Added sentiment – Best wishes on the punched border on Post it notes.

As a final touch, added a distressed banner with my little one’s handwriting saying ” Love U Mam, Adithya” and candies in Treat boxes 🙂

Supplies

White CS – Fabriano Brusto
Pattern papers – Digital freebie, Papermania
Dies – Venetian Label Frame -Itsy Bitsy
Sentiment – Used “Thank U” sentiment  from Small labels and “Best Wishes” from Butterfly wings
Wild Honey Distress ink , Lady Bug momento ink
MS Deco shell punched border, pearls, white mulberry flowers, red grossgrain ribbon,velcro

Hope you like it!

Hello Spring!!

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment
Spring is here!
Spring is here!
How do u think i know?
I just saw a butterfly/bee/blue bird 
And that is how i know….

This is the first rhyme taught to my little one when he joined KG1, in last Spring. His favorite one too.

And today’s card is about the Spring mood…Handmade Blooms in pastel shades to welcome the lovely season 🙂 Made this card with just Cheery Lynn Designs Die only!

Used patterned papers from Zephyr paperpad and these are matted on the White CS. The front panel edges are jagged with scissors and on it mounted the Teal blue panel to which handmade blooms are added. To CLD Tropical Fluorish die, a baby pink Tulle is spread and on top of it all handmade blooms are added.

The big roses are made from peach duplex papers using the CLD Gardenia die, and those rose buds (white, yellow, peach) are made using the same die. Duplex paper gave a nice texture to the rose and rose buds. The yellow flaky kind flowers are made using the stamen kind patterns in CLD embellishments (B256) die and sepals of rose buds are made from same die.

Close up shot of Floral spray:

CLD olive branches and CLD rose strips die is used to make the floral cluster. CLD small exotic butterfly with wings die is used to made the butterflies and few pearls,tendrils added as final touch.

Blooms 🙂

Sentiment is added on a banner and placed near the floral spray. Used tracing wheel to make the faux stitches.
This is all for today…Hope you like it!

Spring Love – Mixed Media Frame :)

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment
This is my first frame in mixed media style. Am completely unknown of intricacies of this art, just enjoyed the fun playing with different mediums and colors and getting inky fingers 🙂 Wanted to bring spring mood with cheerful blooms and fluttering butterflies is the basic idea and hope i have done some decent job 🙂 Now onto my work…

Another view

Last week, we enjoyed Chocolate Truffle cake for little one’s birthday and i couldnt throw the cakeboard in trash. Instead wanted to turn this to be a keepsake artpiece 🙂

This altered / upcycled work is done from scratch. The glossy layer was torn off and on the thick cardboard, i made the base using the white acrylic paint and Homemade Gesso. And to that pps were added from Handmade memories paperstack and formed the base. Here Teal layer is added as if pink layer was torn off and showing the underlying layer. And few other places too, Teal pp were added as layers at corners. A portion of mint green pp were paper pieced and added to the pink pp and all glued and layered down with Homemade Modpodge.

Homemade Textured paste is used to give those textures at background, using Tessatina border diecut. And on sides, comb were used to bring about the semicircular concentric patterns with same Homemade texture paste.

Homemade mists were prepared using acrylic colors, pearlescent, metallic acrylic colors and sprayed using mini mister. At few places, i washed down the frame with mists and muted the colors using Homemade gesso layers.

See the clustered floral spray. Those blooms are all handmade roses and muted with layer of gesso. Blue flowers were first white ones and then misted with blue acrylic paint and toned down again gesso. Diecut florishes, leaves were all layered with on top with gesso.

Baby pink Tulle pieces are tucked under few roses to give soft shade. The shiny glossiness of the glittered diecut hearts are due to UTEE clear embossing. Done stamping using Ranger Black Archival ink. Diecut butterfly , few pearls, florishes diecut and Glittered Alpha diecuts LOVE were added to get this overall effect.

Must thank Shilpa of Neon Diary for the wonderful kickstart about the mixed media, which she shared on Lulupu, which made me to make an attempt at this. And of course, special thanks to Pooja, Reusing with Quilling for generous sharing of the links for preparing DIY mists/sprays.

Being first time, i let my heart to work on more and just followed it!! All your comments and views are much appreciated.
