BGC#70 - Dimensional project with Aneta -

Hello, my dear crafters!

As you know, we are playing with dimensional projects this month. I've seen many of your amazing projects already and I'm so thrilled! Of course, I'm looking forward to see more!

But before you will upload your project, please read our RULES below!

• Make a dimensional paper crafted project . (Eg-  Dimensional cards like box cards , exploding boxes , any type of 3D folds , alter a dimensional item using paper craft products or just make a 3D item in itself !)
• Your project must be new and dated after the challenge date.
• Link back to our challenge. 
• Deadline to enter is 31st of July until 11:55 PM IST

We have two prizes for you!

Prize 1 is sponsored by Kraftzone

Prize 2  is a Gift Vocher of 500 INR  from Rainbow Craftykari

My inspiration for you is this elegant photo album.  The most dimensional part of it is a front cover. 

I hope you can see, that the background behind the inscription isn't flat. I used one white layer and 3D foam to make it higher. It goes perfectly with my self made flowers.

I'm using waxes and glossy accents and it's what you can see on the "album". I really like this effect, because the inscription isn't flat any more. And it's glossy! What's more, this way you can protect  the chipboard against damage.

I added also some chipboard inside the album. It will help to keep distance between photos.

I added also small pockets for more photos.

Ready to join us? So please enter your projects here.

See you soon!

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

Playing with Dies~a tutorial ! with Bipasha

Hello... Wonderful crafters

This is Bipasha with you. Aren't you enjoying our challenge already with the gorgeous inspirations shared by the talented DTs?? I have spent a real crafty time this month with new creations and loved going through all the projects added to the Mr. linky for the ongoing challenge....You do mesmerize us every time with your creativity. :)

Now coming onto sharing a little crafty technique for today....

I thought of making a project experimenting the versatile use of our different dies in an innovative way. This project has a very close connection to my heart. I am quite happy with the end results and hopefully you would love the plot too.

Technique recipe:
I used 4 die cuts of Cherry Lynn 's Wedding Vows, cut out of ivory sheets. I cut out the couples from the designed frames, hence we are left with 4 layers of each.

I also, cut out 4 strips of hard card stock which will act as the support ribs for my altar. Yes you hear it right ! We are making an wedding altar :). The strips are folded in halves lengthwise and glued down to build the pretty altar...doesn't it look elegant already?

And here the couple goes layered to create a dimensional effect and stands pretty and high in our beautiful altar.

Next, we cut out two bases: one for the roof and the other for the floor.
So yes its as easy as that and we are done !

I don't believe there is any technique for embellishing or decorating your project because I think each of your hearts will do the job better and in an unique way...

This is how my heart expressed its feeling inspired by the colours of this month's challenge theme...

Use this simple recipe and play with your wedding dies or any similar frames and surprise yourself, creativity is endless...ain't it ?

Thankyou for looking into the project and would love to see your precious feed-backs or answer your queries, if any. I am just a comment away :)

Signing off for today, Happy crafting,
Bipasha

BGC#65: Mood board + Stamping with Bipasha !

Hello everyone !!

 And I hope you like the fresh new modifications we have made to our challenge formats this year!!

Our moodboard for this Feb challenge 

Here is my take on the challenge. I was inspired by the stunning colours of the moodboard, the heart shape of the doughnuts, and the flower bunch in the vase!! And ended up creating a shadowbox photo frame from scratch :)

For the stamping, I used the picket fence distress stain and bo bunny coffee stain stamp design to make the white ink marks behind the photo in the background and stamped some scripts on the pp scrap too !

 Hope you love my creation!!

Can't wait to see what you all will be creation...

Much love ...xoxo
