Hello all Crafty friends!!!


My brother always tell me that " I am a big hoarder"  and sometimes I do agree with him. So this time I have created a mixed media layout with a picture , I have been hoarding for a long time.  Making a mixed project is also so fun. You can add so many techniques and style  and the end results are always a surprise.

I am here today with my first " Picture tutorial post "at Rainbow Craftykari as a DT member....

So here is how I made the layout:-

Enjoy the video flip through and the step by step instruction below...

Step 1: For this beautiful layout, I have taken a MDF base measuring 12x12 inches. I have applied a coat of black gesso and let it to dry. I wanted to give it a bit of edgy look, so I applied crackle medium evenly with a brush and left it to get dry. The crackle medium should be dried completely before applying the second layer of color. 

Step 2: Once the base was completely dried , I applied second layer of color. When applying the crackle medium , you should always use dark color as base so that once you apply second layer of color, the darker color can be easily visible.

Step 3: Now I have done stamping to create the backdrop. I have clear stamp and distress ink for the stamping

Step 4: I have used modelling paste to create some texture .I have added little color to the right hand side and let the color do the magic. This is how it looked after it is done.

Step 5: Select the photo of your choice that you wish to make the focal point of your project. I have used a picture which is very close to my heart. Do not paste the picture now . we will create a layered base and paste it later on . Fussy cut few images . Distress the edges with distress ink. I have randomly put the images just to see the final outcome.

Step 6: Once you are happy with the arrangement and placement of the layers, embellish the layout with the buttons, flowers , tags and stones.

Hope you all like it and get inspired with it to create something equally beautiful for yourself!!!

Good Morning all you lovely crafters out there!

Saloni here with a new inspirational post today !! This is a Mixed media altered project again....

Why should the inside of your diary just be filled with pretty art, transform your diary cover with mixed media and simple technique...

So, here's how it looked after all the hard work....

To begin with, I have applied a thick coat of heavy gesso to primed the surface and then fiber texture paste to it. To add some more texture , I have used a brick stencil with texture paste. Once dried, I started adding colors to it. To keep it simple, I have used just different shades of blue with a hint of white. It's such a beautiful color strikingly soft yet stands out pretty loud. Further to embellish the diary, I have adhered some flowers, moss, metal charms .In the end , I have added few art stones, frosting powder & Created white splatter with watered down with white gesso.

Here are some more close up shots...

Materials Used:

. Old Diary 

. White heavy Gesso 

. Fiber texture paste

. Modelling Paste

. Prima art alchemy waxes and patina paste

. Color sprays

. MDF Chipboard

. Flowers & Moss

. Texture sand 

. Frosting Powder

Hello Crafty friends,

This time I have created a mixed media project and titled it "The poetry of Earth is never dead".

So, here how it looked after all the hard work....

For this , I took a globe and painted it with black heavy gesso. Once dried.,I have used modelling paste to add some texture to it and covered the entire surface again with gesso. I started adding colors once the base was completely dried.I have used metallic paints and color spray to  highlight the texture . Then I started adhering flowers and embellishments to create the layer.

Now to add more elements to it, I have added few stones ,beads & metal charm (colored with it red and white). Finally to finish the complete look , I have added the typo bulb.
