Hello dear friends! This is Deepti here with a few cards using Papericious Wooden Collection. Who doesn't love woodgrain collection? I love it and I just love it.. ;)

So today I'll be sharing a few cards like how to use these papers in different ways. So let's get started..

1. You can simply hand draw a tree branch..

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

I am back with another project using Memento Firewoks spray inks.

If you have missed my earlier post with Fireworks Tips and techniques...you will find it here.

Now....its about today's mixed media funky house,

 I've altered MDF house

Let's see the process..

You know, how much I love to create texture... I applied Prima Art Basics Platinum crackle texture paste through stencil for the roof. Before that I primed the whole MDF house with gesso. Dried it completely.

On the wall, I created rough texture with Ranger Multi medium matt and palate knief

When all paste dried completely, I colored the walls with Bahama Blue Fireworks spray ink and door with Bamboo leaves Fireworks


I added handmade leaves and flowers on the roof...

 and near the front door. Adhered cute button as door knob...and my house is ready!

Fireworks are easy to work sprays and have some lovely range of colors in that cute little bottles.




If you are liking this, do try your Memento fireworks spray inks on different surfaces.

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

I am continuing my projects with StazOn Midi. I've Altered the bottle using StazOn and here it is....

I would like to share with you, where did I use StazOn. As I've explained in detail in my earlier blog post (here), StazOn works on any porous and non porous surfaces.

I cleaned my bottle properly to remove any dust and applied StazOn Claret with sponge onto the bottle. I love the way it took the colour. It dries fast and does not smudge.

I created texture with Modeling paste and stencil.

for more texture, I stamped on to it with StazOn Ganache. 

I've applied Stazon on charms as well to match with bottle...here I've used, Stazon Claret and Stazon Cactus green.

Hope you liked my new altered art! 

Do try these StazOn Midis.....they are available in The Craft Shop!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

I've a small post to share with you today. I had made several Gelli plate print backgrounds with Gel medium resist technique. You will find my detail post here. I've used one of them today for my 

Vintage Garden project

Can you find where I've used it? Yes it is behind that girl. Isn't it look pretty!

and here was the original one I made 

I've used many papers from DCWV Botanical Stack and Cardstock stack.

Hope you liked my project.

The Craft Shop has Gelli plates available in 3 different sizes. Bigger ones can be used for big surfaces and smaller ones can be used for cards and tags. They are easy and fun way to prepare backgrounds. As I've done here, you can make and keep several prints and use them in your project when needed. This way we can save the time and work faster!

Hello dear friends! Welcome back to another post here at CCC blog and this is Deepti here with the review on the most gorgeous, elegant and fantastic product 

 What is a Krylon Leafing pen?

A Krylon Leafing pen is a smooth flowing paint pen. It adds a high quality metallic accents to any surface, with a finish that resembles metal plating. It has chisel tips that draw thick or thin lines on wood, metal, plastic, glass, craft foam, plaster, ceramic, fabric, paper and more. It allow you to vary the width of your paint strokes, making them perfect for calligraphy. All you need is a little imagination! Leafing Pen dispense a fast-drying, metallic paint for highlighting any art, craft, or home decorating project.

now...Let's see how I made this mixed media project,

For a base, I cut out DCWV card stock and adhered it to thick chipboard. Applied gesso to my surface, as I wanted to play with lot of mediums.

For background texture, I applied Prima Platinum Crackle texture paste through Prima Grungy Grid stencil. Awesome subtle crackles appeared after drying.

Another layer of texture with my fun collection. I had these wood veneer pieces and small round stones in my stash, I adhered them with Aleen's Glue.

another layer of Gesso, this step is important, as we are coloring the veneer pieces. Gesso works as base coat.

 

and here comes the Fireworks.. I've used Lulu lavender, Paris Dusk and Cottage Ivy colors. I spritzed water to spread the colors.

Next step is background texture stamping..I've used Finnabaire Rust and dust and Prima Epiphany stamp. Here I've used StazOn Midis in Midnight blue, Ganache and Cloudy sky becoz they are permanent inks..and do not spread if I add water on it.  

 Here is the close look...love the grungy effect created with stazon midi and stamps.

They stamped beautifully on sleek/glossy surfaces like veneer and did not smudge....loving them!

To define the edges of our texture, I bordered them with Faber Castell PIIT pens. I also applied

 Midnight blue ink with sponge to stone surfaces...I am customizing them according to project.

For interesting part of our project are these Crazy birds by Stampers Anonymous. I stamped them with Claret StazOn Midi and colored them with Lady bug Fireworks spary ink.

You will notice some design texture on them...it was an happy accident, I've used paper with Gel medium on it thinking it is black watercolor paper. It is from my last post with Gelli plate and Gel Medium...if you have missed it ..can find here.

 here are more close up views of my this project...
