Here is my project. 

I started with a wooden printers trey. 

I considered painting it white but it works much better on my wall in black. 

I used Primas new line Epiphany. Lots of subtle colors with black and white. 

Here are a few close ups of the finished project featuring my Abigail!!

Thanks for looking!! Have a wonderful day and get those project linked up!!!

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 #58 Tag with Karen

BGC #58

Opps ladies! I am a day behind! Glad to be back with this fun challenge!! I loved seeing all of your watercolor projects! 

Challenge Guidelines:

2.   You MUST use any kind of texture paste on it (like gesso, embossing paste, acrylic texture, cracked texture paste etc.)

3.   Deadline 1^st -15^th September 2014.

I made this sweet little tag. 

I started with a packing tag 6 1/4 x 3" 

I used Martha Stewart Crafts Sparkle Texture. 

Look at all that sparkle!! I used Prima color blooms Glistening Waters to add the color. 

I layered Prima papers under my Gorjuss girl. 

I actually layered two tags together to create this stand so the tag could stand alone. 

This time we have great prizes sponsored by:

BGC#58 - Mixed media tag

Hello everyone !!

It me (PJ) again ! Are you having fun this fortnight ?

 we have a sweet little challenge for you which i can be done by anyone !! 

we are talking TAGS !!! 

When creating your tags remember about these rules:

 
      1.   Make a paper tag .

2.   You MUST use any kind of texture paste on it (like gesso, embossing paste, acrylic texture, cracked texture paste etc.)

      3.   Deadline -15^th September 2014 until 11:55 PM IST. 

The prize package this fortnight is a mystery item from
Lulupu store

 

 Here is my take on it ! 

Well what do u think ? 

I find it pretty fresh for myself ! :) 

I really enjoyed making this one it was done in about 2 hours tops. 

2 hours also because i didnt use a heat gun. 

so if you are wondering where the texture paste is 

 

 Its underneath all the embellishments. 

I started with inking the tag with spiced marmalade distress ink and then i sprinkled some water over it .

After it dried i used Finnabair's Art extravagance texture paste -White sand with a stencil.

Photo credits -Creativeinspirations.ca & Prima Marketing

 You can see how this texture paste is drying almost clear and has that lovely sand grain effect ! 

I totally love the texture and the fact that i can see through the paste ! 

i would totally suggest this to anyone ! 

Another great thing is it has gluing properties , so if you had to add texture and then add some buttons or sparkles or something else on top of all that texture it would really stay in place when it dries.

 My next step was to add some torn papers. I have used scraps here . 

The teal paper is a previously white cardstock that was rubbed on left over mist on my work surface from an older project. 

After this layering i just added some gesso splatter on top of the tag to tone down the colors a little bit. 

So that is pretty much how i constructed my background !

 The flowers are handmade. Again i have used some texture paste on top of it to give it that rock candy look.

 I love to use Tulle to make my bows its so dreamy !!

 So thats about it from me today !

Hope u liked this tag and would join us whole heartily in the challenge !

Just a few days to go !!!!

See you soon
