Observations

Hello Friends ,

Paper Arsty Blog is one of my favorite as there is a lot of information on various topics.
Never could make myself an attempt to play along though..

This time the topic is White Space. Its the biggest challenge for me .. Extensive reading on all the DT Members projects and information provided by Ms.Darcy , I decided to play along..

The simplicity of the cards done by Ms.Ellie Knol inspired me to create something on similar lines .
You can see Ms.Ellie Knol's creations here

I took a Watercolor Paper and applied Heavy Gesso . Once dry I used 3D Soft gel though Damask stencil .

Next I used Mowed Lawn and Crushed Olive Distress Inks on the center and spritzed it with water to spread it randomly .

Added some stamping with Prima Marketing Vintage Vanity #9 and Prima Marketing Cartographer#1 using Archival Ink

Added diecut - Sizzix die, “Writing Desk” by Tim Holtz , Stamped " Observations " using Stazon on white cardstock and made them as the Focal point .

As you can see I still struggled to keep white space  white  :) 

Thank you for the inspiration Ellie.

Hugs

Remya

Snail Mail

Hello Friends,

To send via conventional postal system is very exciting as opposed to Electronic mail .. Written letters ,their envelopes , the smell of the papers( there are scented papers too ) , I used to Love them.
There are certain things of olden days which needs to be kept alive ..

Lessology came up with a Challenge : Snail Mail Revolution . The DT members have excellent Projects to inspire us with  ..

In my school days, during summer holidays, I used to write to my grandparents and my friends .. I love doddling around the corners of the envelope along with the address ..

Now for this challange , I had few envelopes(with cards in ) which came along flower bouquets for my birthday. I have used those envelopes for this challenge ..

Applied a coat of Gesso on it so that it can take the colouring and stamping without bloating to the other side.

Decoupaged a flower from a napkin on to the corner using Multi Medium Gel.

Distressed the edges with distress ink(Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, )

Stamped along the corners of the envelope using Fiskars Postal Stamp Set ..

I also stamped on the Back of the envelope as a seal ..

Pasted washi tape ( Postal and Floral Washi ) on the left corner of the envelope and the Back side of the envelope too ..

The Snail Mail looks like this !!!

I got carried away so much while dong this that I made 2 more ..

Thank you ..

Hugs

Remya

Artist Trading Card using Lindy's Magical ..

Hello Friends ,


Art Journalling fascinated me and I have been giving it a try for quiet some time ..

I bought Lindy's Magical Mica powder to try how its gonna work. I love to experiment  .. I spend loads of time reading Blogs and watching YouTube channels . I guess we all do that :)

I wasn't sure how the end result will be , so I didn't capture the steps I used to make . But I can write about it .

Take a White card stock . Apply texture paste through any stencil on to it . Spritz water on the card stock .. Flick some magical powder on it using a flat brush . Spritz water again to activate the powder . Let it dry ..

I then cut the card stock to the size of ATC .  Stamped on the edges using BoBunny stamp set . Applied Texture paste through Stencil again .. I then cut a heart using TH heart die , embossed it using Lindy's terracotta embossing powder . Made it as my Focal  point and added a sentiment" Curious"  and my one ATC is ready ..

For the Next ATC piece , Stamped on the edges using honeycomb stamp . Applied Texture paste through Stencil again .. I then added a flower I bought from ItsyBitsy and Made it as my Focal  point. I attached 2 washi tapes and above it pasted the sentiment " Grow" . Few pearl dots around and my second ATC is ready ..

Thanks for stopping by .

Hugs
