This is 12"*12" LO. I have layered the papers from two different packs and used distress ink on the inside edges of the bg. For the photo mat I layered two different papers and used two different shades of distress ink on the edges.

For stenciling I used Mudra stencil and applied texture paste randomly and colored them with distress ink and water color. Then I wrapped a string of jute cord around it.Sprinkled a bit of gesso on the whole sheet ( hope u can see the random small drops). Then decorated with lace, butterfly stckers and a few flowers. Finally I added a small chippie on the upper side of the picture and a chippie sentiment "Hello"to complete the look.

Quilled Lord Jagannath

Hello Friends,
Today I am very happy sharing my DT project for Indian Quilling Challenge. This month the theme is "Favorite Technique".

I have a lot of favorite technique in Quilling. I love 3D, I love beehive, comb technique and tight quilling. But my most favorite is "Line Quilling". In this technique u can make most intricate designs. It looks so beautiful. When this theme came up, I was very sure to make something on this as I have not made many projects using this technique.

Though this looks very beautiful, It takes a lot of time and requires patience to align this small papers on ur desired designs. If u r new to this technique, do try with 10mm strips. These are bigger in width and are easy to handle as compared to 5mm or 3mm. But as I'll frame this particular one for my wall, I used 3mm strips here.

I hand drawn the picture that I wanted to quill. It was my long time wish to quill Lord Jagannath. Jagannath temple, which is one of the "Chaar Dhaam"is in the holy town Puri which is situated in "Odisha", the eastern state of India. So take a look...

Coming on to the project, First I made the face of the Lord which is circular. Then I tried to add the conch, the lotus and the Sudarshan Chakra around his face. Jagannth ji has big circular eyes that i have made here. For the face I used black, white and red paint to make the base on paper and then using 3mm quilling strips I made the outline and all the other designs here.

Lord Jagannath holds Sudarshan Chakra and Conch in both his hands and wears a lotus shaped crown on his head. As I was only making his face, I added all the symbols around him. Made 3 little snow flakes to decorate the surface. This is a wall frame and will be hanging on my wall shortly.

I tried a bit of embossing here. You can see the clear embossing under the 3 snow flakes. 

That's all for today.

A Quilled Fairy Garden

Hello Friends,

I'm back with another quilling project. It is quite an amazing experience making each part of it.
Take a look.

For this I took a chocolate box as the base. It is a cardboard box. I filled it with thermocol and cut a circular part for making the space for the pool. I colored the base grey to get a nice raw stone effect. Then I cut a plastic bottle and painted blue from outside to make it a pool. Once the base is done, I make the house with cardboard. I am planning to make a tutorial on how I made the house. If I do, then will definitely post it. Once the house is done I painted it and placed at the desired place. Then I placed a stone to show as a rock in the garden.

Then I made the tree beside the house. Once I completed it, I covered the trunk part with brown tape to give an older effect. Then I made these flower pots and glued them. Then made the bushes and the grass. Placed a snail on the grass beside the rock.  Placed sea shells around the pool to create a magical effect and also put them as stepping stones.

I used Pop Sticks to make the fence by simply gluing them.

Some closer look of my garden...

Art Journal #18

Hello Friends,

This month my son will celebrate his birthday.
 As I was making his spider man photo booth and other small essentials he demanded, I thought of making a journal page for him.
Though he likes to interfere in all my art works as he loves coloring so much, this time he calmly enjoyed as what Mommy is making for him. He advised me here n there also.

So, let's take a look

First I applied gesso on the page and let it completely dry. Then some random stamping here n there. Then I painted the entire surface with acrylic paint. I mixed water to get a lighter shade and then cut some paper to make an uneven banner. I stamped the letters individually and then cut and glued on the banner. 

Next i stamped the small hearts and Butterflies, colored and hand cut them, then glued on the page.

The emotions are also stamped and glued to finish up the look.

If my works inspire u leave some love in comments below.

Entering  More Than Words November Challenge

Every child is SPECIAL to their parents. I made this page for my son.

These strips and banners and the flower are from an OLD magazine, I used my NEW butterfly stamps, and painted the entire page BLUE.

Butterfly Cards

Hi Friends...
Today I'm here to share two cards which I made using the same stamp sets.
Right now I'm trying my hands on different techniques of card making and the first one here is a kind of experiment. But I'm happy with the outcome though I wasn't quite sure when I started making it.

Here is it...

Now to the technique...

I first stamped the butterfly stamp using Versamark clear stamp and then started the coloring once it was dried. No embossing at all. Just the coloring and yes all the butterflies were clearly visible. I forgot to take a picture of the process while making this one. Sharing another stamped card with the same technique.

Here is the card right after stamping...

So, as you can see the butterflies here...

I started coloring on it and then after I colored the entire card I used fabrecastle watercolor sketch pens for the shading of the butterflies. Then I sprayed some shimmer on the card using a paint brush. Hope it is visible in the photo. After adding the stamped sentiment from Pennyblack I added a few sequins to complete the look.

Now coming on to my next card.

Here also I tried to create a background with the stamps.

I used Beautiful butterfly and leafy stamp from Mudra again with distress ink. Water-colored the butterflies and then added a hand cut stamped butterfly on the sentiment.

Here is the card...

I love the bright colors of the cards.

Two Cards

Hello Folks,

Today I'm sharing two cards.
I'm very very interested in using stamps and watercolors in card making.
But I am not that comfortable in coloring stamps.
Here, I tried to create something nice and clean. I used stamps and tried water coloring for the first time in cards.

The first one with my newly own leafy stamp set from Mudra.
I used Ranger Distress inks and a sentiment stamp from Penny Black.
It is simple 4"*4" card.
Take a look.

The next card is also a simple 6"*4.5" card. I have used Beautiful butterfly stamp set from Mudra here for both the butterflies and sentiment.

I have used distress ink to color both the cards. Here I added some stones here and there to complete the look.

I'm really loving this butterfly stamp set and making a few more cards in the same line.

Quilling Masquerade

Hello Friends...

I'm back today with this months IQCG DT post.
This month the theme is Bingo. We have to choose any one line from the below box and create something unique. Her's the grid..

I have chosen the diagonal line Wings-Flowers-Lilac. 

As this is a party season, I wanted to make something trendy as well as wearable. Me and my son both love wearing different kinds of masks, so I decided to make one which is on a softer side and both of can wear it for upcoming parties.

I made a Masquerade with one wing of a butterfly and some flowers on it. Only two shades of Lilac is used here. I tried to keep it simple. Take a look..

First I cut a mask of a cardboard according to the desired size and glued colored paper on it. 

After cutting the eyes I tied the band on the back side. Then I started quilling on it. I choose a darker shade of paper to give a contrast look. Firstly I made small tight coils around the upper half of the eyes, then made the outline of the Wing. I filled the wing with beehive quilling technique. Normally I love to use beehive but this time it was a bit tricky as I had to adjust the height and make it stronger (as u can see the mask is bent towards the sides).

Another close look at the mask...

After the wings are filled, I made the flowers, some swirls and glued them on it.

It's perfect fit for a Masked party and very comfortable. My son enjoyed wearing it and now he wants some more in different colors and styles. 

I thoroughly enjoyed making this. Hope u like it too, if yes, do leave some love below.

Explosion Box # 3

Hello Friends...

Today I'm sharing another explosion box.

These are fun to make and there is so much scope for alteration every time you make one. I have made a couple of these and you can find them here and here.

This one I made for my brother on the special occasion of Rakhsabandahan. I kept it simple as he doesn't like much layering and bling. So this has just one layer and all the sides open up as u take off the lid. Inside I have kept a box for the rakhi n gift. 

This is how it looks...

As u can see I have decorated the outer layer of the box with texture paste and the stencil used here is flourish from Tim Holtz ( the same I used for my last two projects). I just love this stencil. Loved how it came out on this beautiful paper. It is the home made texture paste.

The Lid

I layered the lid with two different patterned papers from the same paper pack and made one blank tag on which I placed this rose. The other tag is a printed one, which I colored a bit.

Some inside views now...

I used some emotions and tags to decorate the inside of the box. The lid of the inner box was layered with doily, mdf cutout, a stamped tag and a similar Rose.

Supplies:

1 sheet of 12"*12"white plain card stock

2 different sheets of 12"*12" patterned paper from Violet script Paper pack from Papericious

Stamp from Penny black

3d tag

printed emotions

Glue 

double sided tape

Tacky tape

n the embellishments

I am not sharing a tutorial here as a lot of tutorial are already available online.

National Flag

Good Morning Friends...

Today I am here to share a work which is really close to my heart.

On August 15, 1947, India woke up to freedom. Decades have passed since, we continue to celebrate this day when we became a free and sovereign nation. 

I am extremely proud to be an Indian because I was born here. India is a vibrant country where you will find innumerable differences co-existing. Its myriad cultures has been an amalgamation of various civilizations. I love India and I have no reasons for it. It's just a feeling and every time I see the national flag I admire it, every time i hear the national anthem i get up naturally. 

I am extremely delighted that I got a chance to make something on India and I have never done anything patriotic before. This is such a beautiful concept this time at  IQCG.

I have quilled an outline of our National Flag.

Take a look...

I took this wallpaper design from google as an inspiration to quill on.

I hand drawn the outline and colored the required spaces with acrylic colors. Then I glued the 3 mm quilling strips on the outlines and some to the insides also.

It was really painful for my weak eyes to make those tiny patches... but i really loved the outcome.

Thanks for visiting. Please leave a comment if you like / dislike my work.
