LOVE - a mixed media layout!!

Hello dearies,
Hope all doing well and soaring high with crafting!
Today, I am in front of you with my inspirational post for the current challenge - Love theme on Splashy Mix Challenges group. Guys do participate in the monthly challenge to win lots of amazing prizes by our dignified sponspors. So, back to the post, here I created a layout that can be personalized easily.
Here are few glimpses of my creation:

Now, it's time to get started with steps how I created this beautiful layout. So, let's get started with pictorial tutorial how I made this LOVE layout..

• At the very first I took cardboard of 12"X12" measurement and then pasted pattern paper of my choice over it. After drying I coated it with thin layer of white gesso. Then I added layered papers to fit my picture of related theme or you can also add your personal photo. 

• Then move on, I added textures near to my photo mat with the help of stencils and texture paste. But before that, I marked boundary to photo mat so that I can add more texture near to that.. It will be perfectly get clear from pics below:

• After adding textures, let it completely dry. Then, move on next to play with colors. For covering maximum part, I preferred chalk paints and then to give it shine, I highlighted it with metallic paints. Also sprayed sprinkle mist to give it vibrant hue. The entire process goes on still I didn't get completely satisfied.

• Move on to next step, I started assembling embellishments like flowers, wooden chipboards, paper die cuts, clear drops and many more. But I chose almost all embellishments in pink color to give the layout a classy look and as per theme of LOVE!!

• After assembling all the embellishments, I added some sentiments according to the theme and then sprinkled black small dots with sprinkle mist for final touch up!!

Hope I inspired you by this post and do take part in current ongoing challenge on Splashy Mix Challenges..

Altered cardboard box - Mixed Media

Hello crafty friends,
I, being member of Design Team of SPLASHY MIX CHALLENGES group,  feeling very excited to share my first ever project as DT.
I really love to upcycle any article so since last few months I have started collecting all types of waste boxes, any metal objects, etc. For this challenge I thought why not to try hands on the packaging cardboard box and get it converted into beautiful mixed media box!!!

Below is the picture tutorial for the same...

• First of all, I completely covered entire box with black Gesso ( as I preferred most in altered art) keeping inner side of box as it is because it was of yellow base and was looking perfect!!!

• Then I covered the box base with different stencil using texture paste... and also I used the technique of dabbing by this spatula on layer of texture paste for covering rest of the part...

• Then I assembled few embellishments on the box like wooden chippies, clay embellishments, digits, broken brushes... and completely coat it with black gesso!!

• Then the most fun part comes i.e. playing with the colors. Here I started with few sprinkle mist and after drying I started doing metallic paints.

• After my complete satisfaction I started gluing final embellishments like vellum flowers (made by me), pollens, deco stones, etc..

Hope I inspired you with this fabulous project for the ongoing challenge - Anything goes!!
