A shimmery Mother's Day Mixed media layout for keeps - GDT post for ItsyBitsy

Hey guys

I am back with a new project today and this one is for Mother's Day celebration. Mother can be anyone who looks after you and cares for you, worries for you in sickness and on regular days and keeps a track if you are eating your food on time. I stay with my Mother-in-law and father-in-law as my husband is mostly on rigs.

Since Mother's Day is coming up, I made this project specially for my Mother-in-law. I am very happy because when I got married, I didn't get separated from my mother....God gave me another one who is just as kind hearted and concerned about me.

Happy Easter Handmade card

Hello everyone
I am back with a handmade card today and after really long. I haven't made any cards in the last few months and so I am really excited to share this one with you all. Since Easter is on the horizon, I have made a shabby chic Easter card.

15 Try it on tuesday # Botanical

I have used a lot of products to make this one and am simply in love with the result. The papers used for the card are from Eno Greetings and Papericious. I have done a little stenciling using a very pretty Roses stencil from Prima Marketing. The egg is fussy but by me since I didn't have a die for it. The stamp used for the sentiment is partly from a local store while the EASTER is handwritten using a finetip waterproof Black pen.

I added some delicate leaves using Elizabeth craft designs die and some mulberry flowers which are from different stores. The laces and trims are from local store and Itsybitsy. I did dry brush some Art Basics Heavy white gesso on some flowers and other places.

 I have distressed the edges and added some sparkle using clear sparkle powder from Crafters corner. I have also used Wink of stella at some places. The little gold bird is from Papericious chippies and is heat embossed using Tinsel Gold from Ranger.Finally, I finished the card by added few  sequins and splatters of gold and white acrylic paints.

Love forever - Mixed media layout

Hey everyone
How are you all doing? I was on a break this month and I just started with my work 2 days back. This is my first project and I want to show you all my first attempt at mixed media layout.

I have made this project for a close person who is going to have twins and the color scheme and the concept is inspired by this fact. I have used lots of pinks and blues and yellows....did lot of textures usind stencils and modelling paste. I have used Color splash by Itsybitsy in ocean mist and tangerine...the colours are really pigmented and beautiful. They are really bright and you can mute them if you want with just water...which is really cool.

The pattern paper used from the entire background is from Papericious and well as few embellishments like the button and the laces. Their collection for papers is really awesome and I like the new sets of embellishments they have.

I started with the pattern paper from Its a girl pack from Papericious and brushed a thin coat of gesso on it and distressed its edges. Then I made my own pattern paper to creat some interest for the picture. After this was the fun part of adding textures and stencils and layers of colors.

I am putting this project up for Itsybitsy challenge and Papericious challenge of this month.

I am adding the video link for youtube to see my project. I hope you will enjoy this video.

Thank you all for visiting me and I hope you all like my project. Have a good day.
