Hello everyone!

For the last few days, I have been enjoying making mixed media projects and thus I decided to make a mixed media card today. Purple along with shades of blue has been one of my favourite colors to work with and thus I decided to use them today as I was trying out something new. I have a few bottles of food coloring out of which I have not used the purple color for a while. For the background, I stacked and glued together scraps of patterned paper and clothing tags. Recycling such things give me pure joy! Once I finished gluing down the papers, I added a coat of gesso and used some modeling paste with one of my stencils. After that, I started adding drops of purple food coloring here and there and sprayed water. While doing this, the purple color started to bleed - it gave me shades of blue so I did not need to add any more blue colors. I worked a lot on the background and added a few drops of purple acrylic paint too so that the background could be purple. When the background was dry, I added splatters of black paint and white gesso. 

For the focal point, I wanted to use a butterfly and found this stamp by Stampendous to be the best fit. I colored the stamp with different shades of purple and blue. I added some bandage cloth and lace to give a definition to my element. Once I was happy with the placement, I added the butterfly, a sentiment from an old card and a few sequins to finish off the card. I really loved the outcome as it was achieved by playing around with the purple food coloring and I will be having many more posts including it in the coming weeks.

Hey!

Since the last 24 hours I've been in the mood to create a lot so do expect a lot of content for the upcoming week.

For my second Chrismas card, I wanted to incorporate my favorite color - PINK! For the background, I used my old stamps + stencils to create a textured background and followed it up with a coat of diluted gesso. For the baubles, I used pink food coloring as the color is vibrant and followed it up with the same stamps + stencils. After fussy cutting the baubles, I assembled the card and went over the baubles with my white pen and perfect pearls in black and white. To finish it off, I used a handwritten sentiment and added a few splashes of white gesso.
