More than words Feb challenge: Forever &Heart (“Forever” reminded me of my Mom’s Love and so used her pic as focal point for this. Made Heart using Artstones and used a Finnabair metal heart as embellishment there. She has come to Dubai for my 10th wedding Anniversary and so made this Double canvas as gift to her. )

Stenciled whole canvas with TCW mini quatrefoil stencil.
Added a burlap piece on top of the hemp cord.
Black gessoed whole canvas and then added the embellishments, which are also black gessoed.
Whole canvas is touched with Prima waxes and Lindy’s sprays.
Butterfly is stamped, colored using Primacolored pencils and heat embossed using clear UTEE.
This added centrally over a oval resin piece.
Chipboard Sentiment added to the canvas, which was black gessoed and treated with sprays and waxes.

Altered Box

Sathya — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:29:00 +0000

Hi Friends!

Today’s post is about an Altered Box, originally a Mobile package box which i was religiously hoarding for more than 4 years now. It’s a cute white 6″ box. Made this project a week back and gifted to my Dear friend for her birthday. She was thrilled to see this!!

Now will see the process of the project!

Took the box with lid, and white gessoed it totally.
Stenciled the base with Prima grid stencil with Prima light paste.
Sprinkled LSG sweet treats magicals on the stenciled portion and spritzed water to see the magicals burst colors.
Then its layered in Cheesecloth on all four inner sides and on the base centrally.
Doily, paper straws, Roses, resins and and other embellishments are added with few random partial stampings around the image.
Mini and macro art stones are added for little extra textures.
Timholtz chitchat stickers are added to kraft cs and added near the image.
A pink adhesive ribbon is added to the outside portion of the lid.
And on top of the lid, Prima Princess pp is added.
This finishes off my Project.

Some angled and close up shots for you!

Hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!

You’re Wonderful: Perfectly :)
