Little Birdie Matt Chalk Acrylic Paints on Mixed Media Cards


Hello friends 
 As you know I experimented with the Little Birdie Chalk paints on various surfaces such as Glass, Bamboo and Cardboard in my earlier posts see here and here. For today's post I decided to try the chalk paints on card stock. 



I took a 6" x 12" piece of card stock for both the cards. For the first card, I used the FROZEN ICE , RAINY DAY  and SNOW and with a stiff brush randomly covered the top half of the card stock.....stenciled with Irregular Dots stencil from the store and BUTTERNUT SQUASH chalk paint .......

For the second card, I used BUTTERNUT SQUASH, RAINY DAY and SNOW as base and with a stiff brush randomly covered the card stock.....stenciled with Irregular Dots  stencil from the store and a flourish die cut and FROZEN ICE chalk paint .......Die cuts cut from Floressa Sizzix die....


I cut thick card stock with Sizzix Mariposa Bigz die which I bought in the recent sale ..........



The leaves were cut with Garden Greens Die......


All the die cuts were colored with water soluble crayons .....The cards are top folding 41/2"x 6" . The panel was stamped with a texture stamp and splatters added with Charcoal and Driftwood shades....


Butterflies were randomly stamped with a text stamp and edged with Archival black ink , did some doodling with a white Uni-ball pen to add some more detail and mounted on a blue and white Bakers twine.......


The flowers and leaves were stamped with archival ink and text stamp. Then added printed sentiment on a strip of paper with twine which I added to create a window box for the flowers........



I do hope this inspires you to give chalk paints a try on different surfaces , they work beautifully on wood, paper, glass, cardboard, burlap , fabric and canvas.......

Ladies Armoire

Hello friends ,

Back again with a lovely jewelry armories to store all your elegant pieces ! Who doesn't like functional, attractive storage to your bedroom. Well I made it for my craft room ! I store my floral, washi tapes and few knick knacks. Lets get to know how you can make this.



Have you ever tried Craft brown paper cylinders from Itsy Bitsy , its very good for constructing artifacts.

First lets get the Bangle holder done.
Take Craft brown Paper Cylinder 4`` Height dia 35mm and  12`` Height dia 35mm. Cut out a 4 " hole at the center of 12" paper cylinder through which the 4" cylinder will fit in perfectly.


Next we need make a cardboard chest using the packaging cardboard which we all have in our possession !

To make the chest , cut out the below measurements from the cardboard sheet.
Measurements:
Side pieces :          15 x 7 cm     ( 2 nos )
Top and Bottom :  15 x 20.5 cm ( 2 nos)
Back Rest:             8 x 20.5 cm  ( 1 no)  
I stuck them using my favorite silicon glue from Itsy Bitsy
      



Now for the Drawer , cut out the below measurements from the cardboard sheet.
Measurements:
Side pieces :         15 x 4.5 cm     ( 2 nos )
Front and Back :  14.5 x 18.5 cm ( 2 nos)
Bottom /Base:      16 x 19 cm       ( 1 no)

The Final piece looks like this.
