Water coloring in circles - 21 days challenge

Hello friends ,

To keep my mind calm and to do something  productive these days I have taken up to watercolors. I am spending 10 mins a day coloring inside a circle and totally loving it .

I have tried to create a night sky with trees here and for the first attempt, I love blues and i'm totally happy with the outcome and surely there is scope for improvement . I'm thrilled to see how many people have so much of content made available in different platforms to learn and improve . I'm taking one day at a time and working this out for me.

I decided to water color inside circles as they bring s sense of being small space and we are all confined to inside these days.  I tried a rainbow bubble and it really gives me some good vibes.

Lastly this is a road map and hoping we get through this soon......

I'm doing water colors after a long time and I have used camel artists water colour cakes for these creations. I'm coloring outside the lines too and surely trying to get used to the confined space . 

This started as 21 days challenge but seems like I couldn't stop and have taken this up for as 100 days project hopefully will be able to keep this up and going and hoping to see you all follow my creations and cheer me up with this !

Happiness is Homemade

Hello friends ,

I have taken up this time in my life to slow down and focus on my family and cook clean and do all that I wanted to do and complained of not having time. Initially I made a list of what all I wanted to do then I chucked it off and I'm taking each day as it comes .

All that's on my mind these days is cooking and that's on my cards .

family meals and baking 

I enjoyed coloring with tom bow brush pens and copics coloring combination. I'm totally enjoying this and filling my card stack !

Good Luck and Good Bye Cards

Hello friends ,

Here are few Good Luck cards ( Bonne chance is a French expression that means good luck) that I mass produced last week, these are replicates of Birthday card designs I have made earlier. I typically combine stamping with die cutting and always add dimensions... I'm glad seeing such positive feedback and excited customer's Note.... 

These Good Luck and Good Bye Cards are made using Lawn fawn stamp and die set - Float my boat  and the waves are made using  Ocean Waves Die-namics – MFT Stamps. 

 

The second set of Good Luck and Good Bye Cards designs is made using farm animals from Mudra Stamps - Old Macdonald stamp set . I have hand stamped them, hand coloured using copic markers and fussy cut them all out. For the background I have used tags made using Dress My Craft Rounded Tag Punch.

P.S We love making cards. In the era of e cards, SMS, emails and Whats App I'm trying to retain the love for Handmade and Post cards.

Hello Friends ,

Home Decor Alcohol ink background creation

I am here to share a Home decor creation done on 6x6 MDF boards, which means it will likely need to be framed in your choice of frame before displaying. It was total fun creating this. I have used Buddha stencil for the center which is completely done with texture paste. Canvas is ready to be hung or framed...you can absolutely use whatever hanging method works best for your space!

I couldn't stop at one and went ahead with creating these beautiful coasters.

alcohol ink background coasters

The alcohol Ink background coasters are  Set of 6 beautiful 4"x4" coasters in varying colors that you choose. Perfect for your living room, dining room and kitchen. These abstract pieces of art will be a great statement to add to your current design or something to inspire a new one. All pieces have their own unique characteristics. They are eye-catching and will add that something special which will surely be noticed.

They are backed with cork so they can be used on any surface and not scratch it. It is waterproof and heat resistant.

Playing Secret Santa - Traditional Christmas

Hello friends

Are you Santa to a person this year??

I'm playing SECRET SANTA - a person who gives a Christmas present to another anonymously as part of a gift exchange arrangement within a group.

I am one and this goes out to the child , It was decided to be something homemade and handmade so I went with Homemade cookies packed in decorated jar in christmas theme pattern paper and ribbon. I have decorated with ginger bread man on the lid and ginger bread woman to go along the tag with a heartfelt note . The tag is created using dress my craft tag punch and dress my craft border punch

The second gift is a handcrafted gift box that holds a tie for the Santa's Child. I have decorated the front of the gift box with a lovely greeting and ginger bread couple again to match with the jar !
