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.

Spring is in the air - Week 9

There are times when you envision a project and it turns out exactly and even better, this project was one such.  The piece was made based on  Gwen's class "Maskquerade" . It has bright background and bold colors which is not my usual style (since I tend to lean to darker colors). The butterflies were made using collage and flowers were stamped and colored. The background is pattern paper stuck on cardstock.

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.

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.

I added mark making with posca pens and golden paints. The medallion was metal piece that w...
