Peek into the jungle beyond

Peek into the jungle beyond - Week 10

This week SimonsaysStamp Monday challenge was to "Add some green", I combined that with Gwen Lafleur "Interactive ATC" workshop to create this gorgeous project.

I wanted to recreate an old Indian fort window with lovely outer frame and lattice work shutters for a long time but was blocked on what to add underneath the shutters. Finally I was able to draw the beautiful jungle using different shades of green Distress Oxide and posca pens. The parrots were printed and collaged (Image Credit - freepik)

The doodle stencils from Craftangles and Mudra were used to create the topmost layer and were colored with posca pens.

The red arch of the window was stamped with Mudra stamp and colored along with yellow background using DistressOxide. The lattice work was done using Gel paste and Craftangles stencil. Distress glazes in Fossilized Amber and Tattered Rose were added when the paste was wet. When the paste was dry it was heat embossed and the background was colored using Distress Crayons in Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron.

Patchwork Page - Week 8 2021

Many a times I dont create for weeks due to various reasons, so this year I resolved to do art every week. SimonsaysStamp Monday Challenge became perfect way for me to keep creating with new topic every week. Meanwhile I have huge backlog of Gwen Lafleur classes which I needed to watch and create. I have already started enrolling for her 2021 classes ( do check her blog for details, first one is in March end). So I decided to combine challenge and online class project and result is this week project from Patchwork pages class. Background was collaged with scrapbook papers, collage papers, images and washi tape. Crackle paste and glass beads paste was applied through stencils. I added brown and gold to blend papers in certain places and followed rest of steps from class. The patch work was done using Distress paints and then stenciled and stamped. I added mark making with posca pens and golden paints. The medallion was metal piece that w...

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. Then loads of stenciling and stamping was done. The mandala and the pattern were stenciled in white andheat embossed. The smaller pattern was outlined with 3D paint.

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.
