Uncertainity

 There are times we doubt and question what we do,we are skeptical and doubtful that we hesitate to take step forward.  "Uncertain" was one such project which was lying on the table for months.

I had created this gorgeous green background using monoprint with layers and layers of paints brayered. It was stenciled and stamped to create an amazing background.Post this I just couldnt proceed, I didnt like the initial plan I had and I kept discarding what ever ideas came. Finally I decided to just proceed and adapt and I am happy it turned okay at the end.

The foregroud was done as three layers, bottommost layer is a deli paper coloured with shades of yellow Distress Inks and Oxides. The layer on top has layers of yellow and light orange inks. The top most layer is made with beautiful orange colors "Ripe Permission and Spice Marmalade" in Distress inks and Oxides. I wanted to add deep red color so I created a quilled background which I later discarded and went with stenciled image. Grit paste mixed with PaperArtsy paints (Spansh Mulberry with bit of Payne's grey) produced amazing deep red background. 

The steampunk heart is from mudra whch was painted with Burnt Umber, Raw sienna and Burnt Sienna and heat embossed with Lindy's embossing powder. To make the piece more cohesive, I stenciled patterns on the deli paper ensuring it went beyond the deli paper on  to the background. This was then colored with Posca pens and heat embossed . This helped in bringing the backgroud and foreground piece together and made it one piece. I add spots of yellow and orange on to the background and blended them.

The border was done usintg IOD molds and coloured with same shades of green as the background.

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...
