I grew up with the ABC alphabet magnets that helped me visualize and helped to spell words in my childhood. I love collecting magnets when I travel. </p><p>There are many ways to make your very own fridge magnets too. I had collected a few Canvas panels 4 x 4 inch from Itsy Bitsy. The canvas panel then became by fridge magnet. I loved the colour splatters, the stamps, the flowers used. It all fell in place. I wanted to brighten up my kitchen area hence its up on my fridge along with other collection. It is also a reminder that I need to craft more :)</p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyOMe26e9N5lJHu2B-FW20tB_maAWaKQHoxdGXlV2zfpyw0dvzILuySB7sMUPhnJ0Kgi3xMjb7DwQ5ltujpMhNJttEw2-4_13NhKhmWYBMRuaTAnmFsaZllPYUwmLLGbIr3yigO8IExlGI/s2048/20201106_134510+watermarked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1618" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyOMe26e9N5lJHu2B-FW20tB_maAWaKQHoxdGXlV2zfpyw0dvzILuySB7sMUPhnJ0Kgi3xMjb7DwQ5ltujpMhNJttEw2-4_13NhKhmWYBMRuaTAnmFsaZllPYUwmLLGbIr3yigO8IExlGI/s320/20201106_134510+watermarked.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ7wc1djGCrf62KfQXUPA488axZObGEma9Ih1dqEQWlegMvRFbAw66AwMfoTWIVxMycgmO8xtwnyEf90FQgVS_10cavUay-bJdmNsKe64jMvfLyKn9DtT29EVcZm_XrDjcBQ7rOEe-zDiq/s2048/20201106_133455+watermarked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ7wc1djGCrf62KfQXUPA488axZObGEma9Ih1dqEQWlegMvRFbAw66AwMfoTWIVxMycgmO8xtwnyEf90FQgVS_10cavUay-bJdmNsKe64jMvfLyKn9DtT29EVcZm_XrDjcBQ7rOEe-zDiq/s320/20201106_133455+watermarked.jpg" /></a></div><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: left;">Love</div><div style="text-align: left;">Remya <br /></div><p><br /><br /></p> </div><br />Curls N Twirlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11311203219565445011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078458795873796440.post-13677162434601449602020-11-06T22:40:00.000+05:302020-11-06T22:40:12.006+05:30Recycled Wood tray<p style="text-align: justify;">Hello Friends,</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Crafting after long 2 years made me out of place in terms of the new products available and new techniques. So that's when my good friend Rupa's classes helped me come back. We did a tray which involved glazing technique, decoupage, and stenciling and many more.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today, am back with a new project made from a piece of wood which was left
over from a furniture shop. Every shop which deals with wood have
leftover pieces which they sell of to scrap dealers. One such shopkeeper
near my area was good enough to sell me a scrap piece.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX4S_Rza-3gT2QROvFhfpY8f_qOk98bYZmwxmumUE-9V-xKPMTkL6fxm3KbUy6HGychz-aU-EZY6rpyT3_ZTem-zEAByhk9WVM4xcc5AlLKwe8hkPU2C8Pr94qh6j4peclROhTEngYN9ng/s2048/20201031_151724+watermarked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1286" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX4S_Rza-3gT2QROvFhfpY8f_qOk98bYZmwxmumUE-9V-xKPMTkL6fxm3KbUy6HGychz-aU-EZY6rpyT3_ZTem-zEAByhk9WVM4xcc5AlLKwe8hkPU2C8Pr94qh6j4peclROhTEngYN9ng/s320/20201031_151724+watermarked.jpg" /></a></div><p><br />Thanks to Rupa for guiding me, to come up with this beautiful tray and at the right time, "Its DIWALI"!! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2z4GFqXTNelOYd3CBl-oKFoN2ZU_bPOLvODh_6lWEHAdKZrS8Lsbs58KCyuTRHvcmnNfFJAmniZJjW2bvl4NlGKlgI9map7Q5QI4BUTSqIqW7cIv2d6omXGggqYsAii_g-A_GaH8qkCJW/s2048/20201106_133157++Watermarked.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1593" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2z4GFqXTNelOYd3CBl-oKFoN2ZU_bPOLvODh_6lWEHAdKZrS8Lsbs58KCyuTRHvcmnNfFJAmniZJjW2bvl4NlGKlgI9map7Q5QI4BUTSqIqW7cIv2d6omXGggqYsAii_g-A_GaH8qkCJW/s320/20201106_133157++Watermarked.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdJhI7Xoe59yQklixIm0HS-9FiBxTzeA8SM34D6lyjLSgZITNSHHQd8PnPvhYgKcyG0rv3z3pwfNFysO5GhIgxVrhHIHV0I8E1s4rautUywU8i1FIGulsNPHTApijZMau96y98Froi-jT/s1920/20201106_131413+Watermarked.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1372" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdJhI7Xoe59yQklixIm0HS-9FiBxTzeA8SM34D6lyjLSgZITNSHHQd8PnPvhYgKcyG0rv3z3pwfNFysO5GhIgxVrhHIHV0I8E1s4rautUywU8i1FIGulsNPHTApijZMau96y98Froi-jT/s320/20201106_131413+Watermarked.jpg" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9482FdT2Lw0Y8rcQBHbgLVM4HALAOhjBB49KSy_8PeAqn1PSx2iV43vuaHmE568gMGkkghn9ezsvqk5lWpb7QsAxY7BElM16Es8ZlOiXCxr4C8bTnhhyvyOWW7GXVBghI6nQ2kpwkcJN/s2048/20201106_131549+Watermarked.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1603" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9482FdT2Lw0Y8rcQBHbgLVM4HALAOhjBB49KSy_8PeAqn1PSx2iV43vuaHmE568gMGkkghn9ezsvqk5lWpb7QsAxY7BElM16Es8ZlOiXCxr4C8bTnhhyvyOWW7GXVBghI6nQ2kpwkcJN/s320/20201106_131549+Watermarked.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><p></p><p>Happy to do my bit in recycling !!</p><p></p><div style="text-align: left;">Love</div><div style="text-align: left;">Remya<br /></div><p><br /></p>Curls N Twirlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11311203219565445011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078458795873796440.post-52587251434850809302018-01-15T12:10:00.000+05:302018-01-15T12:10:39.146+05:30Decoupage tray using Papericious<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Preparation of the wooden tray was the first thing at hand.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I have tried to use an antique / distressed look along with it . I gave a coat of off white(peach) acrylic paint . Then rubbed certain areas with candle wax. The next coat was chalk paint - teal color as it matched with the prints of the Papericious paper. I sanded the area where I had applied wax to reveal the peach color. Next I glued the paper using Modpodge. Seal the decoupage surface with a few layers of mod podge. Let it dry thoroughly .</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next were the edges of the tray. I wanted a cracked distressed look. I used Ranger Texture and mixed a bit of Deco art crackle paste . I applied the mixture through Damask stencil and waited for ti get dry naturally. Once dry I could see the cracks appear. Dry brushing using acrylic - red, brown and Golden randomly gave a very distressed look. Once I was happy with the result , I sanded the edges and the texture( white) revealed through the colors, thus making it look embossed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fellow Crafters,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Happy New Year !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This has been my longest break since I started crafting way back in 2014. Had just 3 of my posts going live in 2017. Have been away from it owing to professional obligations which demands long days. Hoping that I would be able to balance it out this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here I am back in the crafty world attempting one thing that I love the most - Decoupage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The choice of substrate is a glass bottle from "Frozen Bottle" - I was more keen on the bottle than the content inside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To start of with the bottle was washed and the labels removed. Applied two coats of gesso with sufficient drying time to prime my substrate. This priming is necessary since it helps out the paint to grip the surface of the otherwise smooth glass bottle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then came the choice of colours - I chose blue - Blue is the colour of nature. I applied blue acrylic paint on to the bottle. Applied a single coat of the paint since there were more layers of different paint to get on to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Used decoupage glue to paste the picture of the mom and child on to the bottle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then came the most interesting part - getting the image to life by adding more colors around. Carefully sponged multiple colours - brown, blue, yellow and white till I was satisfied with the outcome and the image merged in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally the sealant - gave a double coat of Varnish to make sure that the colours don't get off and the final outcome is below.</span></div>

This journal is made of cardboard from old cartons. I have used Tim Holtz Wood Mounted Stamp - Butterflies & Moths, Idea-ology: Tissue Wrap / Melange , Ephemera Pack - Ideology, <span class="productnamecolorLARGE colors_productname"><span itemprop="name">Tim Holtz Idea-ology Paper Stash Laboratorie </span></span>, Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder and some twine.<br />
<br />
I started by applying gesso on the cardboard. Next I randomly painted acrylic paint over it. Then I stamped the Tim Holtz Wood Mounted Stamp - Butterflies & Moths and embossed it with Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder. Then I splashed Lindy's starburst spary and dried it with ranger heat gun. <br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1. Ornate frame:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Die cut the Ornate frame and apply distress crackle on it. Once dry apply distress paint - Spiced marmalade, walnut stain , hickory smoke over it. This accentuated the cracks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">2. Bottles and SPOOKY alphabets:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The bottles were given a coat of distress crackle ( by now you would have guessed it - I Love Crackle ) and set aside for natural drying. It needs to dry naturally to get the real crackle effect. Heating makes the crackle paint to bubble up. Once dry I poured alcohol ink into it and moved it around , so that it covers the entire inner part. The cracks and alcohol ink gave it a very rusty look.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The alphabets " SPOOKY" was first painted with distress paint : picket fence and spiced marmalade before applying distress crackle.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This was my favorite of all. I cut out the picture of vintage lady from the </span></span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">laboratorie stash to fit the inner part of the pendant. The glass dome to fit on it was given a coat of alcohol ink. I stuck it using glossy accent .The ageing effect it gave was eye catching. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Creating Mixed Media journal pages are something I have started to indulge in of late.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But, my heart gives a leap when I think of using beautiful pattern papers or canvas boards to start with. frequent blog hopping brought to fore Cardboard as substrate. I have a huge collection of cardboard pieces, thanks to the online shopping gala!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These cardboard ended up being a junk journal - a place to experiment my creativity!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One thing you always miss if you were a reader is - a Bookmark. Many a times you would never find one and you either land up in missing the page or use some "out of the box" items as a bookmark. For sure its not my story alone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">An avid reader by heart , I always love bookmarks. Always used to make sure that I collect bookmarks where ever I get them - sometimes free or at times spend money over them too - for those fancy ones. I should be saying that - a</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">m always tempted to buy bookmarks where ever I go.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This time around, thought of giving my "arty" touch some work in creating a bookmark for myself. With my habit of reading through whole night to ensure that I finish an interesting thriller, the only thing came into my mind was an "OWL" as a bookmark ! Here below, I wish to explain how i made my "Owly" Bookmark.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Its a Super easy project, made using up those scraps lying around in my craft room and the Sew piercing tool with floss . </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's how to make them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You will need:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Scrap papers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sew Piercing Tool</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next I took floss and braided it and attached beads at the end. It was easy for me since braiding my hair was my daily routine during my school days to bring up a "studious" nature in me. Using the bead to lock the pattern is a bit difficult - you have to make sure that the knots you make into the floss is large enough to get "locked" inside the bead. Once locked use a drop of glue to seal it off.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dear Friends,</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Benefits of using monotone color schemes are many. It gives a sense of simplicity and harmony to the product and also makes it easier for the artist by eliminating the mammoth task to match the colors to be used.</span></div>
</div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This is my first attempt of doing a monochromatic art work. Benefits were many but frankly I found it challenging to depict a theme through just one color.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Me being a person who once in a while traces my path back into my memory lane, find that always monochromatic. No candies for guessing why I chose Black here.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As usual, nothing in mixed media starts without Gesso. Give a nice coat of Gesso to the pages. I used art basics Heavy Gesso - White on the cardboard substrate.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I chose Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Gears to provide the "mechanical edge" to the monochromatic art work and applied Ranger texture paste through it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Step 3</span></h3>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The black tone - I wanted to use Distress Sprays - alas I did not have it with me. I went forward with Lindy's Spray. The spray usage was tricky. It was more of a "controlled detonation" so as to avoid landing up with a black sheet in hand! Had to dab out lots and also had to make sure in diverting the color flow to the needed places.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Be very careful when you spray darker shades.</i></span><br />

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">To add something from my "floral side" stamped floral image on to the background. Used strips of Tim Holtz tissue wrap melange on the inner edges of the page to depict my theme of "remembrance"</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Next was to embellish with Mannequin from Tim Holtz Ephemera pack and square cuts from Tim Holtz Laboratorie paper.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dear Friends,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">A family is an eco-system that revolves around a pivot - Mother. And no family is complete without a Mother. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Being a mom myself, I cherish every moment I spent with my kid. The Love , the warmth we give goes a long way and helps them to be a better person. Thought to make "The Mother" focal in my new mixed media journal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhICwexzE84UBfNa9GvUqD4nlF2NKohPWQ4_Skm-KONZXalWAp897bgKiXDfcJ7KWkDj46KRwEFa1qtxX_V2dk-94bJRj4oeAhyphenhyphenS44F7IlBGEshyphenhyphenzgzmfUpxw7oVHKvPvAf9oh6AoA_tzvk/s1600/IMG_20160706_232642_1467828537271.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhICwexzE84UBfNa9GvUqD4nlF2NKohPWQ4_Skm-KONZXalWAp897bgKiXDfcJ7KWkDj46KRwEFa1qtxX_V2dk-94bJRj4oeAhyphenhyphenS44F7IlBGEshyphenhyphenzgzmfUpxw7oVHKvPvAf9oh6AoA_tzvk/s320/IMG_20160706_232642_1467828537271.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Once the picture was decided upon I went about thinking how I could enhance it with a background which would match the real HERO in everyone's life. Out came my little box of die cuts and chose O</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">rnate Frame Die. Its so Elegant and Charming - matching the lady in the center !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">A bland die cut did not do justice to the excellent image. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">So gave a coat of distress crackle paint Rock Candy. Once the cracks appeared, smudged it with Brushed Pewter distress paint. This gave the Vintage effect to match it with the monochromatic picture.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Once the frame was finalized, the background had to be prepped up. Used red, yellow and white acrylic paints for the background. To give another dimension to the work, got the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Flourish and applied Ranger Texture paste over it. Viola - the background was ready for the frame.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Finally embellished it with few flowers and leaves - you may hardly see any of my creations deprived of flowers. The leaves are from Sizzix Die - Garden Greens. To give a shine and gloss to the leaves - I embossed it using Fern Green embossing powder.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Step 1</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Collect empty duct tape rolls. The Nomads that we are, we do have a big bunch of empty duct tape rolls and we never run out of this.This is typically 2 inches in height.</span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Step 2</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stick two empty duct tape roll together one above the other using any glue of your choice to give a 4 inch depth to the trinket box. Did I say earlier that I use GESSO ? Yea, I use it a lot. Have given a wash to the "roll well" with a generous coat of GESSO.</span></div>

<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Step 3</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Cut two circular card board, one for the base which would be exact diameter of the Duct Tape Roll and another one which would be couple of millimeters. The wider one is to be used as the lid and the smaller one is the base. Glue the base on to the roll and give that too a neat coat of GESSO. The lid is not glued for obvious reasons ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Step 4</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now comes the tough part of the exercise. Choosing the pattern paper for the duct tape roll and the lid. This can be contrasting or similar in color but make sure they compliment each other. Embellish the work with items of your choice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Layouts are fun to make and there is no dearth of inspirations around . There are a few crafters of my personal choice whom I follow religiously. One among them is <a href="http://artistycrafty.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Martha</a> .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Someone rightly said "Enjoy the little things in life because one day you would look back and realize they were the big things". We would have lost many of those "little things" already however, now on, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We need enjoy those moments when life gives us !! I have kept this in my mind when making this Journal page - that inspired me to keep the little butterflies which were etched into my mind from my childhood village memories.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In this project, have used images from old magazines, cut into circles and have used water soluble pastels to provide a smudged look to gel into the background.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Technology is great, Internet is brilliant, Everyone has a train to catch or a place to reach. As part of all this excellent deal, did we miss something ? Did we go missing ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In this mad rush, we forget to stop and observe things around us. Around you and me there are lot of things to observe, learn and get inspired. Am very fond of flowers and there are no prizes for guessing why Flowers end up as focals to many of my creations.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To start with, was very happy to get <span style="font-size: small; text-align: justify;">"</span><span style="text-align: justify;">Stampendous Stamp : Hummingbird and Flower" in my hand and had started using it - did I say I love flowers ?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">For this</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">, Stamped "</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stampendous : Hummingbird and Flower" onto Cardstock, fussy cut it and coloured it using </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Water Colour pencil from Faber - Castell. A tip for you - you can cut multiple pieces of them and stick together with a good glue to create an pseudo three dimensional effect - "Paper tole" it is.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I said, Focal is important, so is the background. You can use your ideas to create a background that would ensure that the focal jells into it. In the project, have used images from old magazine cut into circles. <i>Every beautiful thing in nature is a circle ? Including Mother Earth.</i> They were pasted on to thick card stock which is my frequent substrate for journal. Used Water soluble pastels to color this before arranging the focals on to it. One suggestion is to keep the background simple to ensure that the focal always remains in focus and the view is not distracted by a gaudy background.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Travelling is an inevitable part of our life . Travelling helps us discover who we are and at times helps us enlighten us. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here, I have used one such picture captured during our travel. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Its difficult to jot down "how" to create a Mixed Media Journal. Its like swimming. You need to be in the pool to learn it. However, I would attempt to give you some tips which I learnt through multiple attempts (some successful and some not so successful) I made.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Priming the page with GESSO is a must before you do anything. This gives "tooth" to the mediums to hold on to the substrate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next, I applied texture paste / Modelling paste using </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Prima Sunrise Sunset Stencils - Checker. This gives a third dimension to your 2D attempt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lindy's Spray Mist : Caribbean blue is used to create the "wash" apprearence to the background. This is heat dried.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A few checkers were outlined using water color pencils to highlight them. I love the black and blue mix with a tinge of greenery ! Added a few layers of pattern papers to enhance the appearance of the image.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Arranging the embellishments is another art. You should be knowing what to use, where to use and when to use. This again is gained from experience - you may have multiple "not so successful" attempts - however never give up. </span></div>

Cover it with <a href="http://itsybitsy.in/cardstock-a4-black-1sheet-ib" target="_blank">Black Card Stock</a> as shown aside.

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Brewery and Distilling is an interesting study.<br />
<br />
I know many people who study and show interest in this craft. Brewery career is a much sought after field. For someone interested in this, needs a place to jot down notes and ideas and information on this subject. I have made a hand bound leather journal with 5 small field notebooks bound together into one single journal. I love leather and its texture. Made the journal cover using 100% pure Leather.<br />
<br />
Simply fell in love with this journal . Makes me want to learn this Art of Brewery too now !!<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Empty Duct tape rolls lying around my craft place caught my attention. I converted it into a lovely box - a trinket box . The Pink colour and the blooms , I fell in love with this ..<br />
<br />
<br />
Placed two duct tapes, one over the other , to give appropriate height. Cut out 2 circles from Chipboard, one for the top and one for the bottom . Top lid is unattached. I had plans to attach , but I forgot and I decorated the entire box with pattern paper .<br />
<br />
A very simple way to transform an empty duct roll to something useful.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of it .<br />

Hello friends ,<br />
<br />
Recycling and making new and interesting upcycled products is one of the few things I love to create.<br />
<br />
2 cute bottles caught my fancy and I Quilled after a very long time ..<br />
<br />
Cleaned the bottles thoroughly and air dried them to remove any moisture if any.<br />
<br />
Attached twine around both the bottles , painted the bottles white .<br />
<br />
Added a color to match my quilled flower by applying blue hue on one of the bottle and a ting of green in the other ..<br />
<br />
Flowers were glued down using silicon glue.<br />

Hello friends ,<br />
<br />
A Journal is a window to your soul .. Its a place where I write down my Reflections on any matter that I feel at that moment ..<br />
<br />
I couldn't let it sit idle around and hence I decided to decorate the Journal cover .<br />
Mixed Media is like a learning curve , the more you do the more you learn the Do's and Dont's .<br />
<br />
The procedure :<br />
Covered the book with Pattern paper from Itsy Bitsy .<br />
Spine I covered it using pretty black lace ..<br />
Applied texture paste through stencil and before it dried up, poured Embossing Powder over it . Shake off the extra powder . Heat set it .<br />
A few stamping using Prima background stamps.<br />
Arranged the Embellishments around and the cover is ready ..<br />
