CRAFTIVATION: Couture Creations Design Team Audition 2019

Hello Crafty Friends!

It’s me, Fairuz Fabiha here from Craftivation.
Today I’ll be sharing with you guys some of my most recent works. This blog post is specially created as my entry for the “Couture Creations Design Team Audition 2019”

1. Diy Faux Wood Mixed Media Wall-Hanging Home Decor:

Sweater weather has already arrived and maybe you are here reading this blog with a warm cup of coffee but we all know that nothing can feel warmer than our “Home, Sweet Home” in this weather.
I love fall. The gorgeous colors of fall have always inspired me to incorporate those colors on my projects. So being inspired by those amazing colors, today I’ll be sharing with you, how I created this stunning faux wood mixed media wall-hanging home decor! Oh that was a bit of a mouthful, lol!

If you want to watch me making it, then do visit my YouTube channel and watch the video tutorial!

Alternatively, here’s a pictorial for you guys!

Step by step process:

1. At first I cut three strips of cardboard of same length and width.

2. Punched some holes for tying rope afterwards.

3. Covered the cardboard strips with tissue paper to add wooden texture.

4. Painted the strips with dark brown paint to give it a wooden look.

5. Splattered some gold and bronze paints.

6. Connecting the pieces of cardboard strips with jute rope.

7. Arranging the flowers and leaves and adhering it on the blocks.

8. Sticking the “ Home Sweet Home” sentiment cutouts. I’ve used gold mirror paper for the sentiment.

9. Last but not the least, adding my favorite neon yellow, neon orange and vanilla brown “The Robin’s Nest” Dewdrops. Tried to create a house like pattern at the bottom with these dewdrops too.

2. Watercolored Card:
This card is one of my favorites. I have used nothing fancy to create it, like no embossing, no stamping, no die-cutting NOTHING! It’s just a simple hand-drawn watercolored card.
