Altered Old Clock by GDT Pavitra

Hello my dear friends,

I am back with another inspirational post for you guys and really happy being back with you at this platform.

Today project is about an altered old clock, which was not functional and now reformed as home decor piece.

Have a look!!!

 

I love to work with different mediums and play with textures and that’s what reflects in my project.

For this project i started with an old alarm clock and covered the entire piece with white sand paste, once dried thoroughly I placed all my embellishments with heavy body gel and left it to dry. Next I further build up the textures with gauge and art stones. Did you notice the heart piece in the center it’s a part of my little one’s broken toy. It was lying in my stash from some time and finally got its place.

Gave few coasts of white gesso to entire piece and sprayed with shades of green, blue and purple from lindy’s spray gang. For highlighting the texture I dry brushed with white gesso.

Painted the back of the bulb embellishment with prima alchemy paint and placed it with heavy body gel.

Hope you enjoyed going through my creation.Below you can find out the list of all supplies

Wall Hanging Tutorial By Guest DT Vinita Jain

Hello crafty friends, 

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and this year let it fill with lots of happiness and joy to your life.

A lovely Good Morning to you all,
Today in our Teaching and Learning Program we have our Guest DT Vinita with her beautiful wall hanging with awesome Inspirational Quotations.

Over to you Vinita,

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and welcoming the New Year 2017!! Are you ready to drive back into card making, Mixed Media project and what would be better to start featuring with some Inspirational Quotations for the whole year to decorate your room!

How to do:

Here are all 3 panels shown with details.
Firstly, I created my cardboard panel for each quote. One is for the base and one is in window form. I wanted it as a pocket letter style, as you can interchange the quotes or you can add your personal photographs in it easily.

I adhered all the window panels on the base using Fevicol. Leave the center top and inside edges of the window panel, don't glue that parts because we have to put the quote panel inside.
Applied Dylusion paint at the edges with my finger to the window panel and mixed it with white acrylic paint. 

Now peel off the upper layer of Decoupage napkin and adhered it on the paper. Be careful while applying decoupage glue to appear any bubbles at the surface. I have applied the different decoupage napkins on all 3 panels.

Using some stencils and embossing paste I created the BG on all panels, distressed the edges using vintage photo ink to create more depth. Then I applied some Distress crackle clear paint with a brush and let it be dry naturally.

Look at the shine and crackle effects in some close-up picture.

Then I took a natural twig and added a thick wire and wrapped it with double coloured yarn like we did for knitting. 

Take two equal sizes long strip of cardboard. Wrap the brown colored yarn on equal distance and make a punched hole at the top of the strip and tighten the wire along the hole and twing. Now die cut some flowers and leaf flourishes out of felt.

Die cut a sparrow out of blue colored felt and stitched it, decorate it with diamond gems and attached the floral wire to create the legs. Adhered the die cut foam nest and the sparrow on the twig.

Adhered all the flowers, handmade flowers and leaf flourishes on the twig. Decorate it with some buttons and attach a tiny bows.

Then I applied Inka gold in different colors on a MDF cutout and decorated the panel with different flowers, metal floral charm and applied some Inka gold colors on it too.

On the 2nd panel too, I did some stamping, textures and added a MDF brick cutouts to create the BG and decorated with some handmade flowers, fillers.

And the last panel is highlighted with loads of textural elements. I added a MDF flourish and embossed it with silver glitter. Attached a resin piece filled with some micro beads and embellished it with flowers, cabochons and some fillers.

Added some beads and pearls at the end. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial.

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.
