Merry Christmas!

Hello & Welcome back!

I started this Christmas  card on a beautiful glitter white card stock. 

Stamped the baubles on white CS, heat embossed (LSG Candy cane red gold) & fussy cut. To add dimension adhered these to the base with foam dots. The faux strings are hand drawn in silver. 

I wish you could see the actual color of these baubles in real!

Shaker Card

Hello friends!

Welcome here again!

At Lulupu Challenge#50 the theme this month is Summer Splash. For my DT post I decided to go with the "beach" theme & made a shaker card.

To create the sand texture I added a few drops of Vintage photo reinker to DecoArt Texture sand paste, very happy with the outcome. Do you agree?

The shaker element of the card is the sea. For this I sprayed the piece of CS with LSG starburst Blue Hawaiian Blue & let it dry. I randomly stamped dotted curved to create the waves (Colorbox Aqua). Some adorable sea creatures charms I had in my stash were perfect creatures for the shaker!

Altered Bottle

Hello friends & a happy November to you all!

Sharing a project I made for the Swap group in my city (Bangalore). The theme set by Sonia for this round was to alter a bottle. I had never done this earlier & was a bit hesitant! I coated the bottle (courtesy - Rupa) with gesso & left it on my table for days until 2 days before the swap!

Played around with Lindy's Sprays (Tiffany Blue, Blue Hawaiian Blue, Jack in the pulpit teal), distress paint (trnished brass), Inka gold (old gold) some die cuts & embellishments to decorate the bottle. And trust me it was so much fun................I already have several wine bottles coated with gesso! So watch out this space for some more!

 

Used Inka Gold for the golden hue on the embossed logo, the MDF frame & the cap.  Loved the texture!

 Some more close ups -

 

Let me confess it was hard to part with this for the swap!!!!
