Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout


Hello everyone!

Well I am back with a new project today! I tried my hands on a Scrapbook Layout! I have always feared it not knowing how to go about it but i really wanted to try it so i gave it a little twist I made a Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout to share with all of you. Hope you all like it! I'm very happy with the way it turned out cant wait to get it framed!






I've used the super awesome Prima Marketing Color Bloom sprays! I soo loveeee them! They just a full coverage you dont have to sit doing click click on the bottle to cover a certain area here just one click is more than enough to cover a large area. Not only this it has 2 way spraying - ones the full coverage and the other is the splatter. How cool is that!? I've applied gesso to my embellishments and sprayed them with the Color Bloom Sprays. The colors I've used are mentioned below. 
I've also used the new Studio 490 Metallic Gold Embossing paste! This is such an awesome product. Do you see those golden bricks and clock in my layout? These are with the embossing paste dont they look so good? I loved them. Its adding the perfect gold touch to my project. 
I've used a lot of distress inks and Square die cuts to my project to create a depth.
Not to forget do you see those white splatters? Any guesses what that is? I'll give you a hint you need a heat gun to do that? Any idea now? :p Well its the Stampendous Shabby Embossing Enamel it gives this splatter effect. It looks great around Stamped images. Will tell you how to use it. Sprinkle it on the desired area , hold the paper in your hand and run the heat tool underneath the paper. Yes you heard me right. You dont need embossing ink for this and you dont heat set it directly. 
After I finished my layout i highlighted all the embellishments using Golden Perfect Pearls to brighten it up. Hope you all like my layout. Dont forget to enter in our current Challege #16- Something Special to flaunt what you are best at and to win some awesome prizes!

Melt art!!-canvas


Hi friends ....
The weather is getting so hot ...and I actually took inspiration by the heat which is melting everything around us....lol
Yes ...I will be talking about Melt Art this time and few ways UTee can b used to create a wow effect in projects.
I love experimenting with my tools and products and this time it was UTEE .
According to me the 3 most essential tools needed to work with UTEE are:
1.Melt pot
2.Craft sheet
3.Spatula( comes free with melt pot)
Guys take my words there is nothing much more safer and appropriate than these tools if u wish to try hands on Melt Art.

I preped this canvas with coating it with gesso and distress paint. Added a tint of walnut stain to make it look a lil weathered.

The focal point had to be the Life quotation which I stamped in black ink and distressed it with vintage photo.
Then began the fun part ...
Melt the clear UTEE in the melting pot and pour it over the quotation. Immediately put the piece in freezer and the pretty cracks will appear in no time.
I loved the cracked glass effect and placed it right in the center and embellished it with mulberry flowers and leaves.


Look at the gorgeous cracked glass effect u can create ....

I also dipped the leaves and mini roses in the UTEE and they got the cool glassy look.


There was nothing much needed in this project as the focal point was so pretty and attractive I just placed few flowers and chams here n there to complete and balance the final canvas.


Also made a matching card and it looks like this...


Friends don't b sacred of this art form and do give it a try...... Just keep safely the first priority as it involves a lot of heat and molten material.
I will b super excited to see all what u create and the good news is that our store is already flooding with these products and u won't have to wait to grab the products and tools.

Anchal has planned an amazing theme this month and I hope u all are joining us there. we all love looking at ur creativity and really appreciate it from the bottom of our heart.
