Forever And Always - Mixed Media Layout

Hola crafty peeps,

I made a love theme mixed media layout for you all to learn with a bonus YouTube Video tutorial for the same. With everyone using pinks and reds this love season, I wanted to break the rules and use a different palette altogether. So, I used the beautiful blues and browns. 

I have used black designer paper for my first layer and a vintage brown for my main layout layer. I added teal blue and bluish grey colors in the background of the focal image along with some texture paste with stenciling and lots of stamping here and there.

I embellished with mulberry flowers both roses and poppies along with some flourish and leaves die cuts. I also used some natural jute cord behind my floral arrangements to add some more depth and interest. Here are some detailed images - 

And now finally time to learn how to create this mixed media layout. Here's the complete start to finish process video on the same for you - 

Hope you all enjoyed watching the video tutorial and will create your own layouts soon.

Until Next Time

XOXO

JK

Love - Mixed Media Tag

Hello beautiful crafters, 

Welcome to yet another blogpost with a bonus YouTube tutorial. I made this mixed media tag as a DT member for Expressions Craft, for their February challenge inspiration. 

I made this tag using chipboard tag bases from Expressions Craft. I embellished with some clay mould designs, chipboard elements and stenciling. I used only two metallic colors on black gesso to highlight my embellishments. Let's take a closer look - 

And now it's time to learn how to make one. Here's the video tutorial for you all. 

Hope you all liked the project and are inspired to make beautiful mixed media tags by yourselves. These add a great oomph to your gifts. 

Until Next Time
XOXO

Cherish the Little Moments - Art Journal Page

Hola crafty peeps,

With love in the air, I decided to dedicate a page in my journal to a simple moment from my life. I wanted to celebrate my love for kids specially my niece and nephew who are very precious to me. So i decided to do a cute little layout for a pic close to my heart. 

I have used some beautiful colors of sprinkle mists and added some fun textures using crackle paste and texture paste with stencils from expressions craft. Here are some detailed pics -

Here is a video tutorial on the complete process from start to finish for this simple yet memorable layout. 

Hope you liked the project and are inspired to make one of yours too. 

Until Next Time

XOXO

Travel More - Art Journal Page

Hola crafty peeps,

Many of you have asked me on how to make art journal pages, what to use, how to use! So to end all your misery I thought of doing a step by step tutorial for you all to watch and learn. I started art journaling only recently myself so i am gonna share all that I know with you all. 

Since my goal for this year is to travel more and wander into nature as much as I can, therefore, I thought of representing it in the best way I know which is mixed media. here are some close ups - 

So let's dive into the tutorial!

Hope you liked the simple process of making this journal page and are inspired to create one of yours as well. Do tag me in your journal pages I would love to see them.
