Mixed Media Tag | Sizzix Post

Hello, friends !

Hope you all are doing great. :)

A few days back, I stumbled upon some mixed media canvas artworks while surfing the internet and felt so inspired to try my hands at mixed media. If you have been regularly following my work, you must be aware that I'm more of a CAS crafter and although I follow the work of many mixed media artists and feel awed by their talent, I somehow always felt a little intimidated to try it myself. But, this time I challenged myself to try it and see how it goes. I really enjoyed making it.

Here's a little sneak peek:

I used Sizzix Framelits -Tag collection by Tim Holtz for making this one.

TAG-ging Along--- Festive Style ;)

A big hello to all my friends !

Hope you all enjoyed  the festivities with your  near and dear ones. Today I'm sharing a tag inspired by a few challenges. This is my first tag and also this is the first time I made something that is all layered and loaded up. I must admit, I had a hard time figuring out how I should go with all the layering and adding details. I have seen a few crafters who are so good at this.

Here's my tag-

To make this tag, I used a thick base cut from the old wedding invitation cards. Then covered it with a blue coloured paper.

 For making the main background, I stuck sago seeds( known as 'saabudaana' in hindi) over another piece of card stock that was smaller in dimension. Whenever I saw these little pearl-like seeds in my kitchen, I used to have an urge to experiment with them. And I think I succeeded almost ;) Okay, after letting them dry,  painted it using three different fevicryl metallic paints(shimmer blue,green and yellow) to give it a shimmery finish. All the three paints were blended with the help of a paint brush. Then smeared some glitter glue over it. Here's how the completed background looks like-

For the embellishments, I made some ribbon flowers and stuck them over white foam net( we usually get this foam net as a covering for apples at the fruit  shops). The leaves and the glittery butterfly were a local buy.

My favorite amongst all the embellishments is this peacock feather that was quilled. Yes, it did take some time to make this, but I think it was worth the effort.:)

Other embellies that I used are the lace at the bottom, the mirrors and the glitter ball in the centre to give that added sparkly effect. 

Finally, the sentiment is hand-written on a piece of vellum.

Let me know how you like it. Any suggestions??I enjoy reading  your comments.:)
