Nautical tag for Colourarte

Hello everyone,
today i am sharing a nautical theme tag i made with Prima's newest collection French Riviera and colourarte paints.I love making sea theme projects,but i usually end up using blues n greens(my fav combo) all the time,when i saw the french riviera collection from prima,i just love the color palette-navy blue n brown and was wondering why i dint try this combo before.These colors gives a vintage feel which went well with my theme.I used various beautiful blues with touch of green n brown, available in colourarte,as i always say i love the huge range of shades available with them.
This project is for colourarte Design team call,and i decided to reapply as i loved their products and i certainly took my mixed media to next level.



Supplies used:
Radiant rain dabbers-Mediterranean,guatamalan
Twinkling H2O-carribean mist,pretty peridot,nutmeg,siam white,beach house blue
Primary elements-summer breeze,sea glass,meridian blue
Other supplies-Gesso,modelling paste,stencils

Lets see the process:

I covered my tag with papers from prima French Rivera collection.
I covered the whole tag with clear gesso and a little of white gesso for variation 
 Applied modelling paste through wave stencils.Once it dried i mixed modelling paste with primary elements and applied it through bubble stencils.
 Sprinkled some primary elements sea glass n summer breeze and activated it with water.
 Now i started arranging the embellishments.I used cheese cloth for base to add some texture,some twines,sea shells,beads of various size n some clay embellishments,everything is glued down with gel medium
 Once everything is set,i dabbed some some colors using radiant rain dabbers-Mediterranean  and guatamalan
 Now over the embellishments n  base i used twinkling H2O's green n brown
 To add more depth around the arrangement i used primary elements meridian blue and applied it with water brush.
For highlights and splatters i used twinkling H20-Siam white.Its such a milky pure white and works awesome for creating those beautiful white splatters,i was wondering why i dint use it before,i usually use white gesso mixed with water.But this is much more easier to use,n the white is awesome.I also used it over the embellishments to give highlights




Happy crafting,

Layout for Bluefern studios

Hello everyone,
 a quick post to share my layout made for Blue fern studios march sketch challenge. This month has been super hectic and i thought i will miss this months challenge also(like every month  i do,hehe) but somehow squeezed some time in and made a layout. I am big fan of Blue fern studios papers and have most of their collection,thought at least participating in the challenge will make me use some of them.
I have used omber dreams,one of their old collection for my layout.Just loved the colors and the subtle prints on this paper,i tried to replicate the color palette in my layout which is quiet new for me and i loved it.The beautiful die cuts are from papericious latest release Ephemera.

Life is beautiful-Canvas

Hello everyone,
 today i wanted to share a canvas i made for Dusty attic n Prima marketing march challenge.I loved the neutral colors with pink shades in the dusty attic mood board,which also goes very well with this month Prima marketing PPP
The whole idea of the canvas is inspired from the "Bird on branch" chipboard from Dusty attic,i added few flowers,prima resin bird house n a birds nest.For the neutral shade i added color bloom spray chrome.I added a little of distress spray spun sugar for the brighter pink on the flowers and for the dusty pink  i added art alchemy rose gold around the arrangement. 
The colors are much prettier in real,the gold tint in the art alchemy paint is just awesome and  gives beautiful shine to the project.I really struggled a lot to take a decent photo,spent more than 2 hours to click n edit n this is what i could come up with:(.The title "Life is beautiful" is also from Dusty attic which goes well with my theme.

Happiness is your music-Layout

Hello everyone,
 today i  have a special layout to share.Its my first try on masculine layout,and all crafters will agree its difficult to make masculine projects because you cannot use flowers,butterflies etc.haha.
I made this layout for my most favorite singer,musician Hiphoptamizha-Adhi.I have never been a adherent fan of anyone till now,though i love music n movies have never been a fan of anyone for a long time.It will be just a matter of few weeks or months will be liking a particular actor or music album,and when a next favorite movie comes everything changes.I became a fan after first time listening to his songs,and its been more than seven months now,and i am loving his songs more n more every passing day.
So why i like him?he is multi talented-singer,lyricists,music director n rapper and above all a amazing person n inspiration to many these days.. I am always in awe of people who make it big in art or music without any formal training.Art is a gift from god,and people says you cannot learn it,it should come from within,but most of us need some one to bring the talent from us and to give a proper start,only few people can do it themselves.More than anything else i love his voice,it soulful n magical and i can hear his songs for whole day n never get bored.I always had great passion for music n arts,and even started taking classes for both at the same time,but somehow art took over me completely  and it was like only i liked music but music dint like me,hehe...
So if you are a long time follower of my blog you know i have never done anything like this before,but i become a crazier fan of his music these days and want to do something to let him know he is special.His music gives happiness to many people and its my way of saying thanks to him :)you must listen to his songs to understand what i  really mean,here is the link to his YOUTUBE channel

I have used 7 dots studios-Lost & found collection papers n stickers for this layout along with lots of Finnabair art mediums and colourarte paints.Hope you will like it,see ya all soon:).

Sending this to 7dots studios challenge:Emotions
