Follow Your Heart...

Helloooo everyone,

Sharing a journal page with you today...

When I am working on a scrapbook page or card, I usually clean off my stencils and inks on journal page...they make such cool and interesting backgrounds...and that is how the background of this page came to be...I cleaned off the gesso from the stencils I used on this page and coloured the page with Dyan Reavely black paint...Finaly I removed some of the paint with a wet wipe so the texture of the gesso comes through...

Oooohhh...my favourite part of the page...the heart... some scrunched up thread, a piece of burlap, some recyled denim and a tiny epoxy sticker...

The sentiment is written with a gold paint marker and Uniball Signo White gel pen

P.S. - The denim heart has been cut out from an old pair of jeans...

Hello everyone,

Its time for another challenge at Stick-It-Down...

I loved creating a page for the sketch I made for this month...

The sketch is a bit different...so I created a unusual page for this unusual page...

I have created all the rhombuses by using gesso through different stencils from  my stash and coloured them with Dylusions

I added some words to describe my experience of visiting The Taj Mahal...finished off the page with an epoxy sticker which says "Togetherness" and some matching sequins

Do hop over to the Stick-It-Down blog to check all the fantastic page created by the Design Team...

I would love to see you interpretations of the sketch...

Beautiful Love tag

Heya everyone,

I am enjoying letting my inhibitions about mixed media go and just creating with my heart...
Just Let Go and CREATE!!!

The Tag I am sharing today is a recyled tag which came with my jeans...
For the background, I have used gesso through the Tim Holtz Gothic stencil...coloured it with Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions

I made the heart with Fevicryl Shilpkar...covered the heart with crackle paste and colored with Artistry Ink...

I added the burlap heart ground it all and some meta wire to bring in some extra interest...

The chipboard piece is a leftover piece which had some chipboard embellishments attached to it...

I applied a bit of crackle paste and gesso...adde some colour with Dusty Concord Distress Stain and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions...

I added 2 puffy stickers and a cute little heart epoxy sticker to complete the tag

Mixed Media Tag

Hello everyone,

Hope you all are having a fantastic new year...working towards your resolutions...making plans for the year ahead...trying out new things...
Its amazing how the start of a new year brings this sense of hope and happiness in everyone...

With the same hope in my heart...I tried my hand at mixed media...I altered a tag I got when I bought my jeans...Levis and Lee Cooper jeans come with some sturdy tags...so I always save them...

And now its time for the reveal....tadadada...

I know its not as complicated as the projects by all the awesome Mixed-Media artists out there...but I enjoyed creating this tag...I think the trick with mixed media is not to get overwhelmed by the idea of Mixed Media...

Now on to the details of this tag...

I coloured the whole tag with Black Dyan Reavely paint

The black lace is actually the border of a cardstock...and the silver foil in the background is a crumpled chocolate wrapper coloured a bit with Black Dyan Reavely paint (Gosh...do I love this paint)

I used the silver glitter 3-D liner by Fevicryl for the 2016...

And my favorite part...used Deco Art Crackle paste through Tim Holtz Clockwork stencil and applied Dusty Concord Distress Ink and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions on it...

The transformation ->

I hope you liked my attempt at Mixed Media...
