Hi Crafty Peeps!!

Catching you all with  a New born MM canvas.
This project has all my heart…being my 1st MM Baby project with most of Prima products:)

It took me straight 3 hours for the canvas and 1 hr for the altered box to house this canvas.
I had no prior idea about how am gonna do this…but at the end of the whole process, i really fell in love with this absolutely.

Its a RAK sent to my past DT team ICR teamie Shraddha Patel. Oh yeah, she delivered a baby boy 3 weeks bac and i sent out this project after a week to USA and it handed over yesterday in person to her by my hubby’s friend in Georgia 🙂

Lets jump into the process …

Took 5×7 inches canvas,, which is my most fave size to handle canvas.

  •  Primed with Prima Egg blue all over the canvas. 
  • Mudra Vintage florishes are stamped on tissue paper and decoupaged using Ranger multimediu matte on the back of canvas and sides and applied Prima egg blue on it.
  • Then on the front side, Stamplorations Hearts all over stencil is used to apply Prima Modelling paste and sprinkled heavily with Prima heart stones. Love the way those cling to hearts 🙂
  • Then took pieces of gauze strips and start to adhere in layers.
  • And Few designer papers , did stenciling using Stamplorations shutters stencil (which are not visible due to embellishments) and distress ink Tumbled glass.
  • Sprayed with Prima Color bloom frost mist…am totally amazed by this product. it gave such life to the project.
  • Then came embellishment part with resins, mdf scrolls which are white heat embossed with Ranger Embossing powders, crochet laces, Kaisercraft Pittypatters diecuts, flowers misted with LSG azure sea asters, Prima Metal Zipper, Prima Junkyard words.

  • Was hoarding a ipad sturdy box for more than 3 years and put to good use now.
  • Top and inner sides were heavily primed with Prima egg blue. 
  • Then stenciled using MFT moraccan stencils and misted with LSG Azure sea aster spray
  • Few designer papers and cheesecloth with Kaisercraft pitty paper diecuts as embellies.
  • Sides of the box lid was completely decorated with rows  of pretty crocheted laces…My fave one was hoarding for 2 years now.
  • The bottom of box was red and i left as such except outer bottom layer which was covered up with a designer paper.
  • The MMcanvas was wrapped in bubble wrap and tied with grossgrain ribbon.
  • Handmade with love is the newest ribbon addition in my stash…I love it a lot!!!
Hope you like this 🙂
Happy Crafting!

Beachy Theme Canvas

~ Sathya ~ 45 Comments
After almost a month, am back to crafting and blogging today.

Today’s post is about a Beachy theme Mixed media canvas of size 9″x12″. Its my 3rd canvas and this is the larger one so far of what i did. Am just a newbie in this area of art and all your comments are much appreciated to improvise me 🙂

This is created using a wonderful moodboard at Scrap Around The World blog. Its my ever first time participating in their challenge 🙂

Its filled with such mesmerising colors and elements.

The things which caught my heart is the lovely shades of blue colors, rope, natural elements, and the quote. And so made Lost in Love canvas.

Following moodboard from 13arts is also my inspiration for the canvas, Teal, Turquoise are my fav colors and roses, dewdrops, beads are my elements in moodbaord, which caught my eyes. First time participating here 🙂

Took a primed canvas and applied texture paste using TimHoltz Bubble stencil and misted generously with Electric blue Mist and heat set it. Stamped the waves from Kaisercraft Offshore stamp set on to a thick white cardstock and fussy cut out that. Matted these on the stenciled area and so the focal point is the pic of us taken in Amping Beach, Taiwan. Made a Raffia knotted heart and kept in the pic to add little focus.

Added MDF flourishes which are primed with acrylic white and few flowers and swirls for bit interest.Sprayed Glimmer Mist Blue sheen around the focal image. Added a bottle cap filled with teeny tiny natural elements and sealed it with glossy accents.

Added blue microbeads at few places and flicked black soot distress ink. Added a wood veneer on a heart diceut at a corner of the canvas.

Finally a computer generated quote – Lost in Love added.

Hope you like it! Leave some comments as it means a lot to me.

Hi All,

Hubby left to US for presenting his Research paper and Little one is in Annual exam holidays, what better way to spend some quality time…Its always craft with endless music set on 🙂

This time, its with Mixed media canvas with my most favorite pic, taken on 2012 New year in Taiwan before our relocation to UAE. It was a surprise Professional outdoor Photoshoot arranged by our Chinese Friends and we had a great gala time posing at few lovely places at Tainan, that day.

Took a primed canvas of 8×12 size. Took tissue paper and stamped Kaisercraft’s cherish stamp in Archival ink and crumbled it and added the single ply using modpodge, on the background diagonally on the canvas creating a texture.

Then applied honeycomb stencil using texture paste on either side of canvas to create texture followed by stamping honeycomb stencil using Archival ink.

Then took lime green mist and sprayed liberally around the edges and made it to spread and then followed emerald green and heat set it. On the sides of canvas too, tissue papers are added to create textures.

The central composition is made of a picture matted under that is pearlescent pink misted cheesecloth with a heart doily diecut. All are storebought florals with the mdf chipboard florals, leaves, flowers, butterfly which are primarily gessoed and misted with strawberry pink mists. Every spray is heat set before adding more color.

The quote is a computer generated which is highlighted using black gelatos around the edges. The title is also mdf diecut which is colored using lime green chalk ink and heat set it.
Finally added few prima sugardots, Freckled fawn heart wood veneers colored with pink chalk ink. Finished the canvas using some pink mist splashes and stamping black stain stamps in archival ink.

Hope you like my second try at canvas on this month.

Creative Blog Hop and a Canvas – First Ever Try :)

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment
Thank You Bhavana for nominating me for this Creative Blog Hop. It helps to know a little more about the artists and their interests.

So…Little about me…

1. What are you working right now ?

Working on a card right now in my craft space and few pending project works going on.

2. How does your work differ from others of your genre?

My card making style much inclined towards pastel shades, shabby chic and vintage kind. I love to make my own handmade florals using various dies and so my cards are florally embellished always 🙂

3. Why do you create and what you do?

Am an MPhil graduate in Toxicology and have a pulsating desire to do my PhD. Right now, SAHM of a naughty little fella, who keeps me on toes always. Learnt classical dance, veena and carnatic music, but only being in this crafter community, made me to enjoy my life amidst of my regular mundane.

4.How does your creative process work?

To me..inspirations are everywhere and in everything. It depends on the eyes of beholder.
To inspire and to be inspired by.. is my motto always.

Thats all from me!

Love to nominate two other talented crafter pals who excels in their own line. Love to know a bit more about you guys. Hope you love to continue the chain 🙂

Its a 5×7 mini canvas and i gessoed down initally. Then took DCWV Luxury stack pp which has a metallic and pearlised sheen on it. Love this stack for its richess and elegance. Took the one with little blue shades and baby pink shades and light brown scrolls.
