Its been a long time, since i posted in my blog. Bit busy with Little one’s exams and it just got over today and very soon his winter holidays gonna start.

Made this Winter Mixed media canvas taking inspirations from the gorgeous moodboard below, which screams snowy wintery weather 🙂

Am linking this to Scrap around the world – November challenge

Its a 8″x10″ stretched canvas which i primed with gesso and started to work on. The snow drippings were made using the hot glue gun and its gessoed again to take up inks.

Central focal image is made using the cinnamon sticks from my potpourri collection. The idea is got from the pic inspiration, with varying lengths of sticks and glued down using hot glue gun on a vellum and added a paper pieced star to it. It was further matted with pps from Papermania Christmas collections.

The textures are made using TCW tile stencil using Finnabair Modelling paste and drywall tape and surrounded it added texture paste clear crackle and used back of spatula to create textures to it,

Used heat gun to dry the paste and sprayed LSG – Azure Sea Asters for those gorgeous shine of blue starting from the glue gun drips.

Added the focal element with Cheerylynn Designs Italin florish diecut, few resin pieces, cabocons, Gold heat embossed IBS sentiment on vellum, and few Cheerylynn designs snowflake diecuts on silver cs around it.

At the bottom of the canvas, added glue generously and added White shiny finish popbeads and to which sprinkled perfect pearls for the shiny snowy bank effect and the same applied on the glue gun drips too for the shine with little water.

Hope you like it!

Thought to make an ombre in the sunset colors diagonally and hence started with wildhoney DI with very soft sponging and gradually increasing the intensity and ended with a darker tone of the shade with Rusty Hinge DI. Love the way the colors blended and flicked some water droplets straight from hand and left few seconds and wiped with tissue. This creates some interesting depth to the monochromatic background.

At one top corner, used stencil from TCW birds and feathers, sponged with momento tuxedo black and masked the area of the birds with a moon mask and again distressed the area with Rusty hinge to highlight the birds pair.

Then Kaisercraft Loire valley stamp set is used for the bushes, which is stamped again with Momento tuxedo black and the bird’s home is stamped with Archival ink sepia.

The sentiment arrangement is different, and so again i masked and stamped according to the sentiment space and just to highlight the word “You”. Then fussy cut the vellum sentiment label and bird’s home, popped up with foam adhesives.

A teeny tiny wood veneer heart from Freckled fawn is sponged with red colorbox pigment and embossed multiple times with UTEE clear EP. Red embossed mdf heart is placed on the bird’s home.

Used inks, stamps, stencils, paper pieced bird’s  home, vellum, woodveneer heart, embossing powders and this sums up my mixed media card.

Hope you like it!

UTEE clear embossing powder

Today’s card is also with Distress inks goodness 🙂 Oh yeah! Inky hands nowadays me 😀

I love to build scenes with silhouette stamps, mainly because DIs are so versatile in blending with colors and magically creates a beautiful scene and finishes half our work 🙂

Now onto my card 🙂

Took A2 card and masked an area centrally and started building scene. Made a cloud stencil using acrylic sheet and with tumbled glass DI sponged softly to built the sky.

The dark blue border is made by masking again and distressing with Salty ocean DI. Those cute little hot air balloon are from IBS and had been longing to use these for an year. Did you heard right, me…Yes am a big hoarder 😀  .

The balloon is stamped with picked raspberry DI and the basket with Black soot DI. Fussy cut and mounted using foam adhesives.

Soar High sentiment is Dymo label maker generated. Its a new addition to my stash and the little guy making wonders for my little one’s project mainly. (Yesss…My little one love that so much, and so now all his stationary items are labelled 😀 )

Added 2 handdrawn birds at a corner to finish off the card…Oh yeah…its a single layer card 🙂

Now onto my card. Its a 5″x7″ card and am pretty much comfortable working with this card size only. A watercolor cs is taken and few distress inks were built in layers to get a galaxy kind. My choice of colors here are Tumbled glass, stormy sky, black soot, picked raspberry and shaded liliac.

Then the favorite part is splashing water on the card and enjoying the way the water reacts with DIs. And a generous tiny splash of white acrylic paint on the card. IBS Sentiment is stamped using versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger super fine gold Ep. And few cute teeny tiny stars as accents to finish off the card.

Am not satisfied with the way sentiment being stamped…yet i liked the bg much and so given a space in my blog for it…Hope you like the amateur attempt of my humble galaxy background 🙂

Supplies:

DIs – Shaded liliac, Picked raspberry, Tumbled glass, stormy sky, black soot
Ep – Ranger superfine Gold Ep
Watercolor Cs, Black CS
Ranger Heat tool, tiny stars, white acrylic paint, versamark inkpad
