MERMAID'S WORLD - Altered Mixed media work on Old Note book.

Hello Crafty peeps,

  Roshini here today with you to share one more mixed media project. This time my take on Mixed Media is to alter an old note book.

Please have a look at the pictures.

We usually use chalk paints to revamp our furniture or old decor items to add a new look. 
My theory was same, but I used chalk paints to revamp my old note/journal book. This can be framed or just hung on the wall.

I have added sea shells, mini texture stones and Hearty Melange.... etc. to give it an under sea feel.

I have added textures with gauze cloth and twine, used silicon glue to stick them to the base.

 The embossed look on the 3D chipboard frame is due to the details added with ceramic cone and dotties.

There are endless possibilities with chalk paints. They are not just limited to painting on wood and bottles or home decor. They are so versatile and can also be used for mixed media projects too.

 You just have to dilute the chalk paint a little with water to make
 it flow like other paints and sprays.

Supplies Used:

Sailing Sky

Wild moss

charisma

golden hearts

Silicon glue 

sea shells

sea shells

       
                      

white gesso

DIY bottles using alcohol sprays

Hello my dear friends.......

I am back again to share one more easy altered bottle project with alcohol sprays. I hope you are loving them, If you haven't tried it yet, then you have to grab them for sure from Itsy Bitsy.

Let me show you the pics first and then I will explain you how easy it is to do them.

• I dry brushed and folded the petals of the flower to make it look layered, this is necessary because it comes flat in the packing.

Ahh... I have tried my level best to capture that gold shimmer it leaves on the project, that so awesome!

• I have added Gold and Red Hearty Melange to the bottle using Itsy Bitsy scrapbooking glue as it dries clear and matte.
• I used a thin cut doily die cut below the flower, which I picked from the store.
• Added a little touch of gold metallic paint to the flower and the doily die cut to match with the colors used on the bottle.

Also sprinkle a little glitter on the body of the bottle when the sprays was semi dry as the hearty melange sticks to it.

Process:

1.   Take two bottles clean and dry. 

2.   For the small bottle I used Frosted Pool, Midnight Blue, and Purple Haze, Citron Breeze randomly.

3.   Tip : start spraying the lighter shade first.

4.   Once dry, apply gold metallic paint through stencil on the bottle using the rectangle sponge blender.  

5.   Stick the flower and cord.

6.   Dry brush the flowers with gold metallic paint.

7.   Big bottle : I have used Wild Rose and Golden Mocha instead of Purple Haze and Midnight Blue randomly.

Altered Bottle with chalkpaints

Hello! crafty peeps,

Roshini here, back with one more altered project with Little Birdie chalk paints. These chalk paints are magical I say!! They are so versatile, easy to use and suitable for any style of crafting. Hence I have altered a soda bottle and embellished it with few more supplies from the store. I will be sharing the supplies list below, make sure to add it to your cart.

Please have a look at the pictures and read the step by step instructions to see how I made it. Get inspired and do take part in the Itsy Bitsy blog challenge.

   Step 1: Apply two coats of gesso on the bottle. 

Step 2: Once it is dry, start applying the chalk paints randomly with sponge. I have used wild moss and Lemon Chiffon.

  Step 3 : Allow the paints to dry completely.

 Step 4: Start embellishing with the flowers and lamp post chipboard.

  Step 5: Dry brush with yellow chalk paint on the flowers to match the base colour of the bottle.

  The bottle is altered and the end result is simply amazing!!!

Hope you liked it, Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Roshini.
