Decoupage Fairy Box

A shoe box turned into cute fairy box. The papers used to cover the box were from DCWV and Martha Stewart.
The beautiful fairies, pretty flowers, mushrooms and other creatures were cut from Graphic 45 papers - Fairy Dust and Once Upon A Time. The images were fussy cut, painted with matte medium to make them strong and the edges were colored with Pitt pens to blend and soften the sharp lines.
I followed the tutorial by Anne for the fussy cutting.

The chipboards were from ItsyBitsy, they were painted with Posca pens or acrylic inks and embossed with embossing powders.

Mandala - Week2

Week 2 I created this beautiful ATC which has so much of details in the background. Ink and Oxides were smooshed and sprayed. You can see the drips and splatter.

Texture - week 7 2021

I love to have textures made with paste and acrylic skins. I wanted to incorporate one such in my project for SimonsaysStamp Monday Challenge - Texture . The background was made using Distress oxides and inks. I added more interest using stencils and stamps using archival inks and Distress inks. The hero of the card is the texure on acrylic skin. The skin was made by giving two coats of matte medium on silicone mat. Once dry the texture paste was applied using stencil, when dried it was painted with Golden paints and highlighted using Finnabair waxes in Rose Gold and Old Gold. I made them popup more by using white posca pen. The elephant was drawn on Neenah cardstock, colored with Distress oxide in yellow and Posca pens in yellow and orange. It was cut and embellished with sequins, beads, scrap paper and liquid pearls. I hope you liked it.

Resist It - Week 6 2021

For Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Resist It The background was done with loads of colors using Distress oxides. I wanted the background to be important part of the piece, so I decided to create resist pattern.I used Stencilgirl Gwen Lafleur's stencil with versamark watermark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I ensured that I placed the stencil so the different colors were present in the resist pattern. I then covered the rest of background with shades of brown Distress Oxide (oxide being opaque covered the bright colors). I used Distress inks on top of oxide to get more vibrant shade. The corners were stamped and heat embossed with gold. The focal image consists of filigree chipboard which was embossed with chunky and fine embossing powders in different shades of gold. The medallion in the middle is two circular cardstock pieces placed one on top of the other. Outer circle was decorated with seed beads and bugle while inner circle has rhineston...
