Once Upon A time..... Shabby chic Mixed Media Bottle Alter

Hello guys
I have a mixed media project for you all today as a DT inspiration for ItsyBitsy Challenge blog. I have altered a glass bottle while keeping FairyTales and all the magic in my mind....so I have tried to incorporate elements like pricess crown, a tower, some flower vines and trellis, flouriches, a window and lots of sparkle and shine into my project to bring alive the whimsy and nostalgia and it transports you back into the Rapunzel story....atleast that's what it did to me.....
Here are a few sneak peaks and a small video showing the project however for the list of supplies and the tutorial you will have to visit the Itsybitsy blog by clicking HERE

I am putting this project up at the following challenge blogs:-

1. Mixed media Place - November challenge   - I was inspired by the colors, the frost, the flowers and textures from this moodboard.
2. Word Art Wednesday Week 310-311 - Anything Goes
3. More mixed Media Challenge - Anything Goes/ Optional Black

I hope you liked this project and will stop by again soon.....Thank you and have a nice day.

Mudra GDT post - Handmade Interactive Cards

Hello guys

I am honored to be doing a GDT post for Mudra Stamps today and I want to thank you Varshistha for this opportunity...... I have made 3 interactive cards and here are the sneak peeks....for complete blog post...please visit me HERE and leave me some love.

2 of the 3 cards I made are my first time and I really hope you will be lenient with me. I also have 3 small video clips shows you all the interactive elements in action....so know the list of supplies, more pictures, videos and how I made these cards please stop by the link above.

 1. Mermaid slider card.

So this is a really fun card and to be honest...its my first ever slider card I made and it took me one day to make this card but I am sure you guys will do it faster than me. To make this card, I have used Mudra Mermaid stamp set...such a fun set with so many cute fishies.....

2. Simply Floral Explosion Box card

The second card I made is again a first attempt by me....I have never made an explosion box card and so I took a day to make this one.....but thats just me. A lot of heat embossing and watercoloring went into making this card and I got this beautiful bouquet at the end....

3. Winter Shaker Card.

My third card is a fairly simple card and was super fun to make. I have made a triple time stamped card with a shaker window in the center and this card is based on the thought of "Christmas in July" For this card, I have used Christmas Decor stamp set and sequins from different packs from Mudra.

Leave a Little Sparkle wherever you go...... Slider card

Hello everyone
I am back today again with yet another handmade card and this time I have an interactive card. I have never made these kind of cards and this is my very first one...so please be a little lenient with me....

So....here I have made a slider card and it has been super fun...dunno why I never tried to make these before....
I am putting my card up at the following challenges:-

1. Simon Says stamp Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes
2. Cute Card Thursday Challenge #484 - Anything Goes
3. Scrap and craft Challenge #5 - Summertime with butterflies
4. Scrapping4fun challenge #93 - Summer
5. The Ribbon Girl July 2017 challenge - Anything Goes
6. Word Art Wednesday Week #288-289-  Anything Goes

Let me tell you how I made this card...I started by heat embossing this pretty butterfly from Geometric Nature stamp set from Mudra stamps with Ranger White superfine heat embossing powder on a watercolor cardstock. I watercolored this butterfly with Distress inks - Cracked Psitacio, Mermaid Lagoon and Crushed Olive....  I love the way these colors blended together...so bright and fresh. Once it dried completely, I fussy cut it out.

Then, I took a brown cardstock which was 4" by 51/4" in size and cut a slit in the center with a craft knife in a curvy fashion (Thats where I will add a button as the slider element). I mounted this panel with a button below the slit on a gold glitter cardstock 41/4" by 51/2" using foam dimension tape. I carefully lined the slit from the back with foam tape so the button wouldn't star away from the slit.

I mounted this entire panel on a standard A2 size cardbase from a black cardstock (270gsm). On this button, I added my butterfly using foam tape cut to a small square. I finished my card with the sentiment from the same stamp set heat embossed on a piece of Off white cardstock using Ranger Tinsel Gold heat embossing powder and few sequins from Mudra. Finally, for more sparkle, I added a few dots on the cardfront using a gold gel pen and Clear wink of stella on the butterfly.

I have a small video clip for you to see how fun this card is. I hope you will like it.
