IQCG January 2019 - My Passion, My Love

Hello Crafty Friends,

I really had a looong break from blogging, but back again as a DT member of my favourite challenge yet again.

This month at IQCG we are playing with the theme My Passion, My Love. What a wonderful way to start the crafting year. Although I started my crafting journey with Quilling, I have absolutely fallen in love with art journaling and mixed media over the past few months. So, for this theme I decided to combine the two and create a mini canvas.

Its a beautiful theme to work on and I am sure we are going to see a lot of amazing projects. Click here to link your creations.

Winner will receive this awesome Bubbles Frame Die from Shylaa.

#79 - Altered Box

An old perfume box altered into something interesting. I would probably use this to store my jewellery. 

Started off by applying some clear gesso and then assembling the little embellishments. Then, I covered it all with  black gesso and then finished it all with metallic wax.

IQCG# 38 - Mixed Media - Textures and Shine

Time for the monthly challenge at the IQCG blog and this time we are looking for something mixed media with lots of textures and shine.

My DT inspiration is here

I altered a perfume bottle and thoroughly enjoyed the process and was absolutely thrilled with the outcome. I started of with pasting tissue paper with some gel medium. Once that was dried I glued the chipboard and the glued elements(flowers and leaves). The next step was applying black gesso and once that dried I coloured the flowers and leaves and the chipboard with some metallic acrylic paint.
Sprayed some mica sprays  and spread some gold wax for an added effect. Finished it off with some microbeads.

Materials used :
Gel medium
Tissue paper
Black gesso
Metallique wax
Mica sprays
Micro beads
Acrylic paint

Waiting to see all your wonderful entries for this amazing cue... I am sure we will get to see some amazing stuff as usual... Link up your project here...

#66 - Mixed Media Page

Hellloo,

I did say I have a couple of projects to post today. My next one is a simple mixed media page which I made for the Happy Little Stampers DT Call. Off late, I have been watching lots of videos by Marta Lapkowska and I love watching them. She is an amazing artist and so very inspiring.

Here is my page,

I started off on n old cardstock. To creted a little texture I randomly stuck some old washi tape on it(you can see if you look closely) and then applied some Heavy Gesso from Art Basics. Added the color to the page using Gansi Tanbi watercolors and sprays of water. The stuck the wooden embellishments(frame with pearls), chipboards, flowers, metallic wire and stamens. I then added clear glitter randomly using soft gel medium. Added the two sentiments from Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker sheet. Finally, sprayed some Dylusions Mica Sprays over the page.

#57 - Rainbow

Hello,

Back with a new card to share. This time thought of trying my hand at mixed media and art journaling. Everytime I watch a mixed media video I get so excited and just want to go ahead and create something. But it's always the first time nerves getting to me.That feeling of 'Will it look good' sometimes gets to me.
Well, this time I just went ahead and made my hands dirty in the watercolors, the gesso, soft gel mediums and the perfect pearls. And, I don't mind saying its a job well done :-)
Here's the card

Started off with some watercolors on a watercolor paper. I used all the 7 colors of the rainbow. Once the colors dried up, I used the MFT fishnet stencil and applied some texture paste and soft gel medium and let it dry. Once the pastes were dry, I did some watercoloring again till I was happy . I then stamped the house image and the sentiment on a sheet of paper from a old book. The stam and sentiment is from the Stampendous Family Time stamp set. My latest buy and I love it. Fussy cut the image and sentiment and outlined it with a black Sharpie. I felt something was missing, just thought if a little shine would do and so mixed some perfect pearls in water and flicked it on the card before gluing the image and sentiment. Punched little hearts and colored them and stuck here and there on the card. Also, outlined the image and sentiment with a little gesso and the stenciled fistnets with some black and glitter markers.

I hope its a good attempt and all you crafty people out there like it.
