Unforgettable Moments Canvas

Hi there! Today’s Crafters' Palette post is a multi-layered canvas. Trust me it’s super easy to make. It hardly took 45 minutes!

First, I grabbed three cardstocks and tore them up. Then I distressed them using a bunch of Distress Ink colors and used Distress Spray Stains in ‘Festive Berries’ & ‘Seedless Preserves’.

Next, I grabbed some chipboard embellishments and used Distress Paints all over them. I used ‘Antique Linen’ & ‘Black Soot’. I then cut out some butterflies using the gorgeous Winged Beauties Thinlit Dies, and distressed them in two-tone. The last step was to add some Prima flowers!

Hope you liked it! Till next time!

Vintage Apology Card

Hello!

I'm back after way too long and this time I am trying to manage my schedule better than the last year. I hope it goes well! Anyway, so here I am posting my very first project for January & this is my current FAV. I liked how it turned out!

First of all, I have used Ranger Watercolor Paper. Honestly speaking if you are working with Distress Inks. You have to give them a TRY! You will definitely see a major difference between using an regular paper and a watercolor paper. Also, the one thing I liked about Ranger Watercolor Paper is that it has two sides one is smoother and other is the textured one. Here I went with the textured side, distressed it with Vintage Photo and did the edges with Black Soot. Then layered a Tim Holtz Latticework Stencil on top and inked it with Walnut Stain. Next I sprayed it with Distress Stain in Gathered Twigs. This was my first time using Spray Stains and I loved how they make the entire background pop. I absolutely love the effect!

For the metal embellishments, I chose Prima's clock and Tim Holtz's compass.

Leafy branches and cog are Sizzix dies. I have Distress Painted the two branches in Walnut Stain.

Top-right framelits are again from Sizzix. I have over-layered two frames. I have used black glitter sheet for the base and on the top comes the text. It has been die-cut on a plain paper which has been later distressed in Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. 

In the end I have glued some paper flowers in Maroon which went totally well with the vintage look. 

I hope you like it. Drop in some love in the comments below! 

Mini Canvas in PINK!

Hello crafty fellows!

I hope you are enjoying your winter holidays! Today I am posting a mini canvas that was presented as Christmas gift. The lady wanted something colorful with an name initial on it and this is what I ended up with.

I have used PCW word art file in here. You can find the link HERE. The set comes with 4 different texts. I just love the chalky effect of it!

First of all, I painted the mini canvas using Distress Paint in 'Picked Raspberry' then I stamped the canvas using one of the Tim Holtz Anonymous Stamp. Then added few flowers, name initial and PCW word art.

I hope you like today's post & have an amazing new year.

Configuration Box

Hello Crafty People!

I hope you're doing fab! I am here with a Configuration Book Shadow Box. It's a Tim Holtz Configuration Box which is about 6 x 9 x 1.25 inches and has 6 compartments.

So, firstly I covered the entire box using MME Pretty Things 6x6" cardstock. I adore this paper pad. It's so vintage and floraly. I simply can't get over these papers.

The paper was 6x6" so I overlapped two sheets and added a lace over it. Lace has been distressed by Walnut Stain Paint. Flowers are randomly picked from Prima and Recollection flowers packs.

Here comes my favorite part - THE INSIDE. Again, on the left I have overlapped two sheets covered the joined with the distressed lace. The sides of the box and edges of every cut out sheet is also distressed by the same paint.

I didn't cover it much, as the papers were itself gorgeous. So, just added few flowers and metal embellishments here and there.

I have used PCW word art file in there. You can find the link HERE. The set comes with 4 different texts. I just love this set because it almost goes with every project I make.

Framelits dies are by Sizzix. On the left compartment, hanging metal embellishment is by Prima. I love the little crown at the bottom. On the right, I went with the mini jar with silver glitter and text in it.

I hope you like today's post! See you next time!

Persian Times Personalized Frame

Hello to all!

This week I had great fun personalizing this Ikea frame and using PCW Word Art with it. 

First of all, I painted over the frame by Distress Paint. I used Antique Linen in here. It's such a sober color that goes with almost any bright and bold color. As it's a lighter tone, I decided to splash some brighter colors in form of floral embellishments. So, I went on and arranged some Prima and Recollection flowers and few leaves, butterfly and fancy frame die-cuts from Sizzix. 

I Love You Word Art as mentioned above is by PCW. You can find the file here! I absolutely loved the font! It went so well with the Sizzix die. To give it a shine and a dimensional look, I used glossy accents on top of it. And then it seemed just perfect!

I tried to keep purple has the main color so I attached a two-tone purple cardstock in the back which totally complemented purple flowers. 

Till next time Crafty Friends!

Burst of Bubble Canvas

Here I am with another canvas post! I have used Distress Paint in 'Picked Rasberry'. It's a perfect shocking pink. Fancy framelit is by Sizzix. For flowers I went with Prima and Recollections. As always! I think they both have such a huge variety and best of all. 

Till next time!

Configuration Box

Hello to November!

It's been so so long since I have last posted! Orders and studies have been keeping me busy. There are so many projects to be posted!!! I wish there were a bit more than 24 hours a day. Sigh! 

Anyway, I did this Configuration Box which is by Tim Holtz recently. This was my first time doing it and I had fun making it. Lets get into the details!

First of all, I painted the edges from inside out by Distress Paint 'Black Soot'. Now for the front I covered it with DCWV 'Old World Stack' paper. It was more like a brighter blue but I distressed with grey shade (forgot the color name!) and edges by Black Soot. Stamps are by Stampers Anonymous and flowers used in here are mixed few by Recollection, Prima and others are from a local store. For butterflies, I have used a Sizzix die and later distressed them in various colors. 

I love the word art stamp! It went well with the theme. 

Forgot to mention earlier, banner is a die-cut by Sizzix. 

Box sides are covered by using a different paper from the same DCWV pad. Edges are distressed in Black Soot. 

Now comes the inside part! Left side has been covered with the distress paper and then a personalized note is added on it. Why waste the space? When we have got plenty!

On the right, a lot of emblishments have been used as you can see. Metal, florals, die-cuts .. Literally everything! 

That cute mini envelope is a Bigz die by Sizzix which has note in it. Metal embellishments are just random ones which them from a local store. && for that mini jar I just added some silver glitter and added a stamped name tag and glued the cork.

Laces have been distress painted and the top and the bottom lace is a black card stock which have punched by Martha Stewart edge punch. 

That is it! It took about 2 days to complete this project as I am a impatient crafter. Haha! Hope you like it!

Shabby Blues Canvas

Hello everyone!

I created this few weeks back using various of items. To start with, I have used Distress Paint in Weathered Wood to paint the canvas. I love the matte effect it gives! If you're into painting or mixed media projects, you have to use Distress Paints. They are just superb! 

Then I have used a felt design in white which I bought from a local store months ago and it was not coming in use until I started making this. At the beginning, I painted the felt by Distress Paint but it didn't came out right so at the end I just turned it around and used the original white side. 

After that, I topped it with few flowers by Recollections and die-cuts which are by Sizzix. I cut the small part of black wire, started rolling it and stopped when I came across just like what I wanted it to be. Later I filled the tiny jar with some silver glitter and printed out 'live' for it.  

I loved how it turned out! I was pretty with the outcome. 

Let me know what do you think about my project! 

Perks of Pearls Canvas

Things used in here are:

Recollecctions Flowers

Sizzix Framelit and Butterfly Die

Tim Holtz's Metal Embellishment

Beige Beads

Another major thing to mention is that I have used a Distress Paint in Antique Linen for the background.

Hope you all are doing fab! I come with another altered box. This time I have used pastel blue with grey and I liked how it turned out. 

Firstly I covered the whole box with 'Pewter' Distress Paint and covered the cover with DCWV 'Old World Stack' paper. Then I embellished it using Sizzix dies and few flowers. Silver rose is from Recollections and other two I got from a local store in Riyadh. 

They're perfect for gifting and storing little items! Let me know what you think of it.

Victorian Era Canvas

Hey there!

GUESS WHAT?!?! I have recently started using Distress Paints by Tim Holtz and I am so in love with them. I have been using them on canvas and wood boxes lately and I am so liking the end-result. It's gives a super neat matte finish. I would be reviewing the product soon! 

Anyway! Let's go back to what I really want to talk about. I did this canvas last week for a client who wanted to have a anniversary wish on it for her brother and sister-in-law. So, for the background I used a Distress Paint. REPEATING AGAIN, it gave such a even and clean look (COMPLETELY OBSESSED!). Yet again, I have embellished with few flowers, leaves, butterfly and so on.

Euphoric Dreams Tag

Hello folks!

First of all, Eid Mubarak to all Muslims all over the world! 

Another TAG! For this particular one layout is quite different from the regular ones I make. Of course flowers are used as usual along with few other things and most importantly I liked the mini jar concept which I did in here. I was trying to do something out of line and this is what I ended up making.

Floral Friendship Card

Evening to all!

I made this card last year, way back in November. I have used a vintage cardstock. It's by DCWV. I absolutely love the entire paper pad! This one consist of some great colors.

I hope you all like it!
