Be You!

Hello everyone
Its me Nupur here today!

A bright sunny day it is! 
Sipping my coffee by the window I sit
reading my diary...
flipping pages
and there I come across the word
"YOU"
and the bell rings...
Using the amazing Cottage Living 
I am creating 
"Be You



I choose to work with some grey and
some teal along with some rouge and some black and white.
I choose the following papers with patterns in rouge, teal and grey 
(oh these papers are so amazing!)

Using the amazing super sturdy Tonic super trimmer
I have trimmed the following papers according to the sizes mentioned below. 
(12" x 12" - base paper) 
(6” x 12” – green Patterned paper) 
(5” x 12” – grey Patterned paper)

Align the 3 papers as shown in the image below. 
(There are several ways to arrange these papers,
while playing around with the elements this arrangement may change) 
Using the super red tacky tape - especially 24mm is excellent to stick the papers. 
(The red tacky tape is an amazing bubble free solution to stick your papers) 
just love them..
(While I was nearly done I thought to add another amazing teal paper in the background,
to add to the layout at the top and at the bottom)

oh the photomatt!
A frame outside your matt is a must.
A jet black paper is so amazing 
hence I decided to use it .
(While I am arranging up until the end I use the white photomat
and then replace it with the choosen photo mat)
(Its optional to use any colour photo matt)






Sweet Greetings Gold Foil Accents
This paper is to die for. 
you just cant get over using this amazing paper.
Loved Loved Loved it.

I chose the following foil accent cards to work with.
There were few elements which I extracted 
from the cards instead of using it as whole.
Love the gold foil.
So super awesome.
Stick the gold foil accent cards as shown in the image above
using the super tacky red tacky tape.
(There are several ways to arrange these cards) 

Chop the edges and add the chosen teal patterned paper in the background.

It is a good idea to have some interesting words on your layout.

Viola, now its time for the icing! 
using the amazing and super cool 



              


The amazing Gold foil thickers are beyond stunning,
They add a shine and personal touch to your page
and makes it stand out.
It has this radiance which makes you want to use it more and more.
and this is not it.

When combined the thickers with the amazing gold foil accent cards plus 
the enamel dots and last but not the least with the clear die cuts.
you are on a roll!   
 

depending on the elements choose
or foam tape.

(These beauties are a must, they are amazing and can do 
wonders in beautifying your projects and add those 
little emotion touches and boost up your page. ) 
I choose the following elements to work with. 



While we were near the end.
I realised the layout was missing out on something.
After a thought I tried out the bow
This amazing Itty Bitty Bow die is a must
It truly adds a spark to the layout.
After having played around with these gorgeous elements, 
I landed up with the following arrangement. 
(There are several ways to arrange these elements) 
I really loved the way this looks. 
Hence I settled with this. 
Just a bit of splattering and here we goo...
Viola! and its all ready

Mixed media canvas with an easy background technique

Hello everyone!

Jaya here with you all and today I have a new mixed media canvas to share .
I also have a pictorial tutorial for this so sit back and enjoy!

Here is the canvas

This canvas is all about NATURE

I am always inspired by all the greenery all around me.  Inspiration from nature is one of the most evident part of all my creations. I love to include greens in most of my creations. With this canvas i wanted to use just these two colours- GREEN and BROWN. I love how this came out. Really earthy and beautiful!

Some more clicks




PHOTO TUTORIAL 

Step 1-

Adhere some Thickers onto your canvas and then give a generous coat of  Prima White heavy gesso all over it. 
At Crafters Corner you can find a wide range of thickers from American Crafts. 
These would be just amazing for this technique. These are self adhesive thickers but I advise you to use the Prima soft gloss gel to adhere them to the canvas at we will be using liquid media.

Step 2-

Spray the Lindys stamp gang Rusty lantern lime starburst spray  and Luscious lime flat fabio  in the desired quantity. I gave it just 2 coats at this stage.

Step 3-

Spray the Lindys stamp gang Cocoa Bean Copper starburst spray only near the Thickers.
 Switch better shades of browns for more depth.
After this dry the canvas perfectly. 

Step 4-

Keep on adding the greens. Its even better if you have a few shades of greens . 
You can use the Little Lindys Greens for this. This will add depth to you creation.

Step 5-

Start embellishing. Using papers, flowers, buds and  pollens. 
Adhere the embellishments using the Prima soft gloss gel

Step 6-

Add some more interest to this arrangement with cheese cloth,laces etc to give that rustic nature feel. Do not be very precise and clean in the arrangement as it will take away from the nature kind of look we are aiming. 


Step 7-

Finish off with white gesso and black gesso splatters.




Hope you like it!
