Mixed media Canvas -Shabby Love !

Hello bloggers !

Im very excited to show you my first shabby chic mixed media canvas ! 

I saw this mini canvas in a store which was really inexpensive and that got my mojo kicking ! 

So i decided to make a mixed media canvas for the home :) 

and of course it had to be shabby chic !! 

Here is how it looks 

Caution * Picture overload !

I took inspiration from a picture i saw on live and love crafts blog

When i started i was itching to go for my fav Pink and blue combination ! :D  (I see Blue and pink everywhere)

But it was just too obvious so i decided to go with some ash grey :)

I wasn't sure how it will look but im very happy with the results.

The word LOVE on the inspiration picture made me pick my sentiment !

 The flowers are handmade! While my internet connection decided to go bonkers on me , 

I was killing time making some lovely blooms, i simply adore these ! :) 

 There goes some gorgeous pie lane - glitter ball cluster ! :) 

I did make some Home made texture paste with which i made a few hearts !

So im sure u already noticed the text ..... Prison , going to kill me ? :P Its from a David Baldacci novel ....

Yes it broke my heart to tear of pages and i kept cursing myself....

Anyway....

 The sentiment is cut with 657789 sizzix-sizzlits-die-set-3pk-love-set

on a packaging cardboard ! On which i have applied hint of gesso and stamped some texts ! 

 Here is some stamping on the sides :) Love how it looks !

The wooden flourish is from Itsy bitsy.

 On the left is some home made texture paste and on the right is some gesso . 

I used some brick formation stencil to apply that .

I kept it shabby on purpose, didnt want it to be perfect.

There are hints of cheese cloth and pearls with an admit one ticket and a half cut doily underneath there somewhere !

Another look ! 

Hope u enjoyed my canvas 
Waiting to hear your thoughts !

Hugs !

scrapbooking - spring

This is another One from my sketchbook .... 

 another best out of waste project. 

This one also went into my Sketchbook for The Sketchbook project, Brooklyn USA.

i love spring ... n somehow this one is my fav (Which makes me miss it more)

anyway , I used a few techniques here (rem best out of waste!) 

This one contains a few border stamps and Hat man Stamp. 

The flower is made of a cream colored Handmade paper that is very fabric like, (Again left out of other project , don't u just love it when something u saved for years is used in some other project?)

i dabbed the flower with some red ink (Sketch pens are an option too)

The Leaves , butterfly , Bird  and other flowers are made of Cardstock and newspaper scraps glued on top , and then colored with watercolor for the desired effect .

Buttons & Stones for further embellishment. 

thats about it :)
