Upcycling and Redesigning

-
Hello There 🤗

I hope you are having a great day!!
Today's project is different from what I usually undertake, but it's fun to try something different once in a while!😁
Here are some of the pictures of the project





To give you a better idea, here is a picture of the insides of the decor piece.


So now that you have idea of what this home decor piece looks like, let's get started on how I put it together and what I used. In the true spirit of this Challenge I wanted to use something that really would have gone into the trash can, if it wasn't upcycled. I had a few sheets of cardboard, that came along with the bedsheets that I bought recently. The first step was to cut the all the hexagon pieces, to actually put the box together. I drew a template and cut all the pieces. Next I began the assembly, I used masking tape to stick all the pieces together. This was definitely the most time consuming part because each piece had to assembled perfectly at the correct angle,so that the oveall shape looked perfect. Another important point to keep in mind is to make sure that all the hexagon pieces are the same and each side is the same measurement. I wanted to keep this project super budget friendly cause honestly it didn't make sense to spend a lot to turn trash to treasure😂. The final step was painting are little decor piece. I first added a layer of black acrylic paint and then let it dry, following which I added gold paint using the dry brush technique. To get a better idea of how I did this, watch the video linked below.




And that's it. I had a lot of fun putting this together. I added a artificial flower I had to complete the project.

Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!

Hugs

Using Flowers as Your Focal Image

Hello There 😊 I hope you are having a great day. Today's card features the Magnolia Stamp from Mudra Craft. Here are some close up images of the floral image. I used watercolors to paint my image. My color theme was the colors of the Indian Flag. Although it isn't very clearly visible, I stamped the corners of the blue background piece using the same stamp,but with white ink. I also added a splatter of white and silver paint,to add some extra sparkle. I didn't want the receiver of the card to be distracted by a very loud background ,which is why I kept it simple and ,almost tone on tone.  That's it for today's card. Submitting this card to the  Mudra Craft Challenge  and  The Flower Challenge . Supplies Used:  Mudra Magnolia Stamp Set https://mudrastamps.in/product/magnolia-craft-stamps/ Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!

Coloring on Colored Cardstock

Hello There  I hope you are having a great day🤗 Today's cards feature coloring on colored cardstock. For my examples I used kraft cardstock. My first tip for coloring on colored cardstock is to make sure to use a white pencil to add highlights to make your colors pop.  My second tip would be to add layers of colors, this makes the colors more vibrant. My third tip is to add extra details, I added sparkle using a silver gel pen. My third and final tip would be ,if you want your colors to really be bright and not discolored by the non white cardstock ,first color the area with a layer of white. If you are really interested in coloring with pencils ,please don't be daunted by all the super expensive coloring supplies. You can do amazing work with what you have🤗 The color pencils I used are only $3 for a set of 36. Taking part in  The Flower Challenge Hope you have day filled with grace. Cheers Anisha😊
