Welcome back to my blog. Hope you guys are doing well!
So today I’m here to share a card that I’ve recently created for a friend’s birthday, using her favorite colors and coincidentally the color palette perfectly matched with the August moodboard of Altenew Inspiration Challenge!
I’ve use kraft cardstock as the base, used striped floral stamp set from Altenew and heat embossed it with Fabrika Decoru mirror gold embossing powder. Then I colored the image with red alcohol markers, distressed the edges with vintage photo distress oxide, added the sentiment ‘hey’ using Altenew Fine Alphabet die set. Finally finished off the project with some touches of glossy accent and red sequins.
It’s me, Fairuz Fabihaherefrom 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 “TheRobin’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.
3.Mixed Media Canvas:
I love this mixed media canvas as it perfectly reflects my style -Simple, Colorful and Elegant.
