BGC#66- Mixed Media with Bipasha !

Hello..Hello Helloo Wonderful bloggers!!! It's Bipasha with you here  :)

How have you been doing??

You all might have been enjoying our current challenge and March is already in its last week!!!!!

I  have been following all your creations linked to our Mr Linky tool for our ongoing challenge "Mixed Media".. and they all are soo mind-boggling! We are sure to have a very tough time deciding our BGC#66 winners ;)

So Mixed media it is this time! That is, creating a visual art using more than one medium. It has been always my favourite forte. I have been really interested in trying different art elements as well as inks to create dimensional artworks...and hence came up with a little inspiration for all you crafty people this weekend!

Let me first quickly walk you through the challenge guidelines ...

 Make a mixed media project using more than one medium (gesso, mist, ink, gel medium, texture paste, paint). It has to be visible in your work.

- Mention what kind of medium you used in your post .

- Your project must be new and must have been done after our challenge announcement.

- Deadline to enter: 31th March 2015 until 11:55 PM IST.

N.B. Please go through the challenge guidelines carefully to qualify your entry for the challenge and who knows! You can be a winner and win amazing goodies from our generous sponsors!! 

Now onto my inspiration:

A mixed media card it is!

And here is the overall look:

RECIPE:

1.I used a plain off white card for the background. 

2.Glued two cut out paper pyramids from the gorgeous "Prima's Romance Novel" diagonally in two opposite corners.

3. Stamped and spattered  randomly in the mid region with the colour blooms, some beads, etc

4.Once I am happy with the BG, I started altering my elements to match my BG. I chalk painted the mdf frame into black and stamped a butterfly and some scripts onto it using Prima's white chalk ink. Also, I splattered randomly with my mahagony distress stain spray on the selected die-cuts.

5.Next, I glued down all the elements using  Prima's 3D gloss and yes! Its done :)

Mixed media ingredients: (mediums used)

Colour blooms, archival blank ink, chalkboard paint, chalk ink, distress stain spray, 3D gloss

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hope my creation inspires you and don't forget to play along with us here

Much love xx

So now that is all laid out for you here is my take on the challenge - 

Well i am preparing for christmas early and i thought what an unusual palette for christmas this will be !! 

We often see those red and green cards for christmas but i really loved using this color palette. 

I really wanted to go for a simple looking but mixed media card. 

Lately i have been hooked to the technique and this seemed the perfect opportunity to explore more. 

I have misted a itsy bitsy chipboard border with gold mist to make it sparkle ! 

And i also have some wood veneer stars on the card :) which kinda support the christmas spirit ! 

The flowers are handmade to fit the palette. 

with berry like beads in the center . I also have a jingle bell for fun ! 

The BG has a watercolor paper on which i have created color drips with my lindy's mists and watercolors. 

There is also some random splatter on the sides. over which i have used some Prima texture paste - white sand. 

 Hope you all enjoyed my card ! 

See u guys soon ! 

Hugs

BGC#48 - A Shabby chic Altered cake tin !

Hello everyone !!! 

Its PJ again !

Hope u are enjoying our super amazing theme this fortnight,

BGC#48 - Vintage/Shabby and Dinnerware

The sponsors this time are -

"Die Cuts and More"

 

Do check out all the awesome products they have over at their store ! 

 

Now here is my take on the challenge.

 I wanted to play with my cake baking tin ! so i went ahead and added about 2 layers of ready mix white paint . I wanted it to look crackled and shabby with the Matt effect hence i didn't bother about the neatness while painting my coats.

 I cut out a circle with cardstock for the inside. 

I then used some texture paste through a diecut negative i had . (check out the texture paste in tiny dots all over the place but mainly under the feathers.)

 After that i went ahead and stamped a text script stamp randomly .

Over which i layered all my embellies ! 

Really love how it turned out !

I really enjoy doing shabby chic and this project its perfect fit with the theme.  

Here is how the tin was before the transformation 

And after !!

Hope you enjoyed my creation ! :) 

Do link up your projects asap ! 

I know the theme will test your imagination but,

we would love to see how we managed to inspire you !
