To Life.. with love and hope!

However dark the paths we trail tend to be….. its love and hope that will sail us through the darkest and the toughest patches.

I am a novice to the mixed media form of art and have always wanted to explore it. So that brings me to do my current project.

I am sure a lot of people would agree that art apart from beatification has a message to spread…. 

I have made this piece with the same idea. When the tough, dark times come by it is love of our dear ones and hope that is going to keep us going!!!!

This is a very simple altered frame, I have primed it with gesso there is some textured stenciling done (roses, my favorite).

Added in some chip board pieces to enhance the height. There are some handmade flowers added too.

The hero is my textured chip board that hold two sentiments and fussy cut colorful butterflies.

On to you guys… let me know what you think about it.

A steal from Antiquity

Hello to my fellow crafters,

Well this project of mine shows my love for antiques. I have put in all my efforts to justify that some things are just timeless beauties.

In this blog I am not taking you through the detailed making process of the box.

May we now flip through the pages of history???

This is a basic MDF box which has been primed first, textured and then painted.

I have then decoupaged the box with beautiful Roses, again these flowers remind me of timeless beauty. I have embellished with some painted chip-board cut outs.

But what I have extremely loved in this entire project is the heat embossing I did on the corners of the box!! I have just loved the way this one step has enhanced the beauty of the box by folds.

On to you guys.. Do let me know what you think about this.

Spring around the year!!!!



“Spring is nature’s way of saying lets party!!!!!”
Hello to all of you!!! Who doesn’t love a little bit of nature, some pretty flowers around.
With this décor piece I have tried to bring in lovely blooms. This one is for Itsy Bitsy’s challenge. A little bit of texturing, shading loads of flowers make up this project.

So, we begin with cleaning off the base and then priming it with Gesso. The next step is where I have stencilled the grainy texture paste to bring in a brick look.

This is then painted with hues of browns.

I have added decoupaged 3 dimensional butterflies, which of course adds a zing to this piece.
Once this has come together, I have put in a thin coat of water based matt varnish.

Then comes the prettiest part of the project… the beautiful flowers. I have picked up variety of flowers and arranged them on to the ready base. I have glued all of these using a hot gun.

The final add ons to the project are a charm, a chip board cut-out and some crystals. In the end I have sealed the completed piece with clear varnish. (used a spray in this step).

I hope you liked this project of mine. Do drop in your comments.
