Spring love...

Hi lovely people,

I started with quilling , which still continue to be my first love but almost an year back Pinterest and loads of crafty friends and their amazing work made me fall for stamps, inks, stencils, gelatos, mix media etc etc etc and the list never ends...

And, here i mean the list of what new to learn and create, also the loads of craft supplies ;P which always keep adding to the wish list and eventually the shopping cart...and than the bankruptcy follows...heeheee...(I am sure many of you know what i mean and cannot agree less..)

It always have been tough getting back to crafting after a long break...so i look out for various blog challenges..their themes inspire my creative thought process to get back on track.

So after all the talking..:P sharing with you a card using 3 layer stamping technique..With Spring knocking i thought flowers are the best way to put the happiness on paper!

  

Love Distress inks and the their ability to react with water gives ample opportunity to try something new every time you lay hands on these versatile inks..

Used these along with a water brush to create a watercolor effect for my stamped image.

Not sure if you can spot a subtle shimmer in the center of the sunflower...

Here is the final look...

Hope you like it...

Mix Media trinket box

Hi Friends, 

Last month I shopped..shopped..and literally till I dropped and was all bankrupt..(We crafters have hard time keeping that control...Don't we all agree!! :) )

And among them was something I long wanted to have..Lindy's stamp gang sprays!!..and yes I finally laid my hands on couple of them..And along came Smooch Spritz (must say don't go by their size..that small glass test tube has lots of color and shimmer in it...)

So here is my first mix media ..

(MFT damask stencil and homemade texture paste)

Hi all...
Thanks for visiting and appreciating my First blog!...I hope you will enjoy reading all the upcoming ones too.
The next one I am adding here is really a simple Quilling Card.
One of my friends' told me how her little daughter was interested in all the art and craft activities. Thus, I am adding this easy card for all the cute, little girls out there. :)

Now its Magic time...

• take any colored card sheet of your choice,
• mark four windows of equal size, and you will be needing a paper cutter to cut out the window section,( to be done under adult supervision!)
• take different colored quilling strips, roll into coils of different sizes,
• make different shapes and stick them together to form flower, butterfly, bird etc,
• a little touch of your color pencils in the background can give a whole new look to your card like a rainbow, leaves, sky etc..

Happy Crafting!!
