Christmas Poinsettia

 Hello craftivators!

Hope everything is going well on your side. Today’s project is a simple mixed media card that I had created for Christmas. I’ve used Altenew 3d poinsettia die cut flower as the focal point, created the torn edge background using Lindy’s gang embossing powder and magicals, lisa horton craft stamps and black acrylic spatters. Finally finished off the card with lisa horton crafts sentiment strips and sequins.

I hope you have liked today’s project. If you did, do let me know in the comments down below and if you try to re-create it, don’t forget to tag me there. I would love to see your versions xx

Last but not the least, I’m so happy to take part in the Altenew a year in a review challenge. I was inspired by the lovely pinks and gray color scheme from the month of January and could not help but create something in that theme. Here’s their moodboard-

Hello Gorgeous

 Hello Craftivators!

Hope everything is going well on your side. First of all I would like to apologize for not being able to be quite active on my blog. Life got in the way or more precisely ARCHITECTURE got in the way and turned my life upside down lol. After having barely 2 hours of sleep tonight, here I’m writing this blog just for you lovelies, so please do pardon me if you find any mistakes xx

So coming to today’s project! I’ve made a card after a long long time. I almost forgot that I could actually make pretty decent cards in the past. But that’s not the hot topic hehe but I would like to announce that for the first time I’ve used ALCOHOL MARKERS, I repeat, ALCOHOL MARKERS to color the images of my card. If you know me, you should know that I never owned any alcohol markers before recently I had to buy a set of 24 markers for one of my architecture projects (See? Perks of being an architecture student lol). I did have a few sharpies which is technically an alcohol based marker but that doesn’t count, does it? 

Ok I’m getting off topic again *facepalm*. So back to the project, I’ve created a mixed media card (As you know, mixed media is my new favorite thing). Here, I’ve colored the flowers in the shades of yellow and orange and the leaves in the shades of green. I’ve added black stripes to the background, black and white spatters all around and finally finished of the project with some viva pearl drops and sequins. Easy right?!

I hope you have liked today’s project. If you did, do let me know in the comments down below and if you try to re-create it, don’t forget to tag me there. I would love to see your versions xx

Carpe Diem - Scrapbook Layout

 Hello Craftivators,

Today’s project is special because it’s a guest design inspiration project for my favorite challenge blog- More Than Words  

You can CLICK HERE to check out there blog post.

Here’s the moodboard for this month-

 

‘CARPE DIEM’ is a word which I can relate more with when I’m crafting or traveling. Whenever I’m free, in high spirit or feel like following my heart and making the best use of my time, you can either find me in a corner of my craft room crafting my heART out or you won’t find me at all as I’m out somewhere on a trip lol. This colorful layout perfectly represents that side of me. 

For the creative challenge, MARK-MAKING, I marked the border of the layout with some faux stitching and also scribbled around the focal point with my favorite black pen!

Follow your heART - Scrapbook Layout

Hello Craftivators, 

Hope y’all are doing well. Today I'll be sharing with you a spring themed scrapbook layout.

 I was inspired by the lovely colors of the Splashymix Challenge moodboard to create today’s project.

I was also inspired by the Creative Embellishments March Challenge moodboard to compose the elements of my layout.

I’ve added some faux stitching with a green marker as their extra element.
