Love Mixed Media Layout

Hola Beautiful Crafters, 

Hope you are all well! 

With Yellow being my favourite color, I am sharing with you all a mixed media layout inspired by Lindy's Gang's August mood-board challenge. 

I used pattern paper from Dress My Craft's Dream Door Collection and a lot of Prima Marketing's Re-Design flower molds. 

To begin with I mixed the Yodeling Yellow magical shaker with some light paste and added some texture through a floral net stencil. Next I colored the clay molds of flowers and leaves using Oom pah pah pink, yodeling yellow and time travel teal respectively from Lindy's Gang. 

I also colored my art stones with the same teal color before adhering them onto my layout. Here are some close-ups - 

I hope you liked this layout and are inspired to make your own simple layout like this one. 

Until next time

XOXO

Hello Sunshine Mixed Media Layout

Hola crafty peeps, 

With new beginings upon us, I thought of sharing with you all a fun and colourful mixed media layout highlighting the happiness and hope every sunshine brings with it.

The highlight of my life which I tried to depict in this layout are my friends. I created this layout to add a beautiful picture of me and my friends who are an integral part of my life and who bring with them the most happiness in the darkest of my times. My worries go away like the setting sun when I am with them. The sunset at beach is something which reminds me of being with them always. 

Let’s have a closer look:

Here's the video tutorial for you all - 

Hope you liked this fun and colourful layout perfect to share some handmade happiness and spread love. 

Until next time

XOXO

Live Your Dreams - Mixed Media Layout

Hello beautiful crafters,

Today, I have designed a mixed media layout for you all based on Mixed Media Academy Challenge's June’s mood board – Pastel Summer challenge. I was so glad to be invited by Priya Mishra and the MMA team to guest design this month for their challenge blog. 

Lets dive into the tutorial - 

Step 1 – distress the edges of 12x12 pattern paper & ink using distress oxide ink. Add a coat of clear gesso on top.

Step 2 – Using crackle texture paste and stencil make a design here and there on the paper.

Step 3 – Smoosh some distress oxide inks in the shades of yellow and pink, on the craft mat. Spray some water on it and add the color using paint brush on the textured area.

Step 4 – Once dried, add some washi tape torn randomly.

Step 5 – Using a dark color distress oxide ink and another stencil make an impression over the washi tape. You may choose to stamp as well in this step.

Step 6 – Lastly, embellish using paper flowers, some fussy cut out flowers, some die cut out foliage along with bows made with satin twine.

Here are some close-ups –

I hope you liked this layout as much as I enjoyed making it. Don’t forget to participate in the June monthly challenge at MMA & stand a chance to win some exciting craft goodies.

Until Next Time

XOXO
