MM Jewellery / Make Up / Keepsake Box By Guest DT Sunila & Aditi

Hello guys! So excited to share our inspiration post as GDT’s with Rainbow Craftykari.

Today we’ve created a mixed media jewellery/make up/keepsake box for you’ll! We’ve given it a vintage look! This is something everyone girl/woman would want!


Since this is a mixed media creation, it has various layers with different products. To begin with we, brushed the box with white gesso and adhered some die cuts with mod lodge! This forms our first layer of texture. Once dry, we used a stencil and added texture with modelling paste. We then covered our box with black gesso. Since we wanted a vintage look, black base was a good idea! We left it to dry.

Next, we decided to add more texture. By now you would’ve realised that mixed media is all about textures! Here we used a stencil with white crackle paste! This added the dimension we were looking for. Once everything was dry and we were happy with our result,  we added colours using Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays.

For our focal elements, we hand made roses using the Heartfelt Creations Classic rose stamp and die set. We coloured them using the same sprays and shaped them. We arranged our elements and added a few tags and die cuts to match our theme! We used some lace on the rim and we had this gorgeous vintage memory keepsake box read.





Hope you liked our work. Feel free to ask your doubts.

Altered Palette MM by Guest DT Anushree


Hello everyone,

I am here today on the blog with a lovely post.This project is very close to my heart due to several reasons.Let me show you a picture of the project first and then talk more on this.

Yes you can call it recycling and I totally loved doing each bit of it.This is quiet an old palette almost 10 year old when I started doing oil paintings. After some time I also started teaching oil paintings, once one of my student took this palette to her home, did her work but forgot to clean colors from it. She came back to me after some four months with this and a new palette. She was feeling very sorry and offered me the new one instead…I took the old one but and gifted her new one, for all these years it was lying with me, didn’t know what and how to use it. Few days back I took it out and decided will try my mixed media skills on this, the outcome is infront of you. Few more pictures with close ups.




Final frame with a stand:

 
Instructions to do:
Since there was already lot of dried paint on the palette so I took it as an advantage to use as background,painted with white gesso (u can try painting with white acrylic as well)and let it dry.After that I did some stencilling with modelling paste on the white painted base.When the modelling paste dried I stuck few diecuts,old brushes,used paints tubes and small piece of white net with tacky glue.Again painted all over with white gesso and let it dry.Then my motto was to fill colors in this white palette for which I used Lindy’s Sprays.Since the colors were very light I gave two three coats of spray work.Then I stuck some diamond dust around with the help of multi medium matte and gave last coat of sparys.Stuck the mdf which I pre painted with sprays,and metal embellishments with some cup sequins.I also added some sentiment tiles to the palette to make it more meaningful.Lastly I attached few handmade flowers and a resin frame . Once again I filled life in my palette and that made me super happy.

1.Old palette,old brushes,White net and used paint tubes
