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

Doll Sculpture Ft. Sculptor Tex

Hola beautiful crafters,

Today i will be sharing my last DT project for expressions craft. I have created a doll sculpture using sculptor tex contour medium and cheese cloth available in the fabric pack. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the new sculptor tex medium from expressions craft. The end result is always breath taking with this medium. So without further a due, let's see how I made this sculpture. 

Step 1 -  I created the base of the doll and painted it with red cherrywood chalk paint to give the brown skin tone. 

Step 2 - I dipped my cheesecloth from the fabric pack in the sculptor tex medium and created a beautiful dress for the doll. I also made the bow on the dress with fabric dipped in sculptor tex. 

after i let it dry over night, I covered the dress and dolls hair in black gesso.

Step 3 - Lastly once the gesso dried completely, I add metallic colors on the doll's dress as well as her face and arms. I used dry brushing just to highlight the peaks on the dress. 

Here are some close-ups-

Hope you liked the project! Do tag us in your creations using sculptor tex medium.  

Until Next Time

Mixed Media Altered Pen Holder

Hola creative people,

I am back with another amazing mixed media project for you all. I have upcycled the left overs of the tissue rolls and create a stunning pen holder with them.

I have used a heavy weight chipboard piece as my base to hold the tissue rolls. I adhered left over pencils from my stash along with some metal embellishments. And to color it I used art alchemy metallic paint and a couple of prima waxes.

Here are some close ups -

Sorting Hat Sculptor

Hola crafty peeps,

I am back with a very exciting project for you all. I have created the sorting hat from the magical world of Harry Potter as an inspirational project for Expressions Craft Studio blog. Being a DT member it is always a personal challenge to create a project for fellow crafters which inspires them to use the new mediums and experiment with them. So, here I present to you the sorting hat made with the new IMMIX Sculptor Tex Medium. 

I have used the sculptor tex medium and gauge from the fabric pack to give the desired shape and wrinkly look of it. She has colored it using black gesso and metallic paints in the shades browny rust and tuscan red. This medium is absolutely amazing and easy to work with. Once the medium is dry it is rock solid and holds the shape you mold your fabric in. 

Here are some closer looks -

Hope you liked the project and are inspired to make one of yours as well. Do not forget to participate in the March monthly blog challenge 'Anything goes with Mediums' on Expressions' blog. 

Until Next Time

XOXO
