Recycled Theme Project

Hi, everyone. This month at Off The Rails Scrapbooking, we are having a recycle moodboard challenge. Use something you recycled in your project. Love the moodboard colors.

And I made a mixed media canvas, recycling an old spoilt watch, 2 strips of leftover wood from a previous dollhouse project and 3 brushes. 

"Grow"

I created the background texture  by spreading texture paste over a stencil, stamped some words stamps randomly across page.

I covered the wood strips, chipboard frames, clock, brushes and watch with a coat of watered down gesso. Then misted over them with teal and bronze sprays. And adhered the flowers, wood veneers and added tiny crystal flats over the page. 

I hope you enjoy my sharing. Do join us for this month's challenge. Hop on over to Off The Rails Scrapbooking to see what my team members created as well. Have fun.

"Recycled" - Off The Rails Scrapbooking

Hi, everyone. It's been a while since I blog.. this month over at Off The Rails Scrapbooking we are having recyling moodboard challenge.

And we have 2 sponsors this month:

Two Sisters Scrapbooking and Papercraft

Darkroom Door

Here's what I have made:

"Reflections" Mixed Media Canvas





Adhered Tim Holtz tissue papers unto canvas. Drew the girl with a pencil and colored with Faber Castell Gelatoes then outlined with black pen.

Inked the Prima resistable canvas flowers and butterflies with distress inks. Done the same with Memory Maze chipboard flowers. Left the Imaginarium Designs chipboard title raw.

I used these recyled materials from my stash: "bricks" from Prima packaging, denim from my boy's old jeans, some resin flowers that I recycled from an old handphone casing, the button and string closure from a spoiled paper folder, clockface from an old watch and chipboard hearts from chipboard negatives.









I adhered the button and string closure and clockface with Liquitex super heavy gel onto the denim strips.



Hope you enjoy my sharing. Do join us for this month's challenge at Off The Rails Scrapbooking. Have fun crafting.

Here's what I have made for my last projects:

"Fairy Sweet"

Off The Page Projects

Hi, everyone. Today I want to share 2 off the page projects that I made for Imaginarium Designs.

"Halloween"



I'm not a Halloween person even though I'm born on Halloween. LOL.. We don't celebrate it either. And gory type of Halloween creeps me, this timid lady.. So I made a cute version of a Halloween miniature scene with a box I found at Daiso.



"Fairytale Ending"



Love fairy themed projects. So yet again I made a fairy "house" mixed media canvas. Loved Imaginarium Designs chipboards. The window chipboards gives me so much inspiration for miniature projects.



For more details and pictures of both my projects, do hop over to Imaginarium Designs. And please do leave some comments. If you would to purchase some chipboards, do hop over to Seriously Scrapbooking. Thanks.

You should be arriving from Elisa Ablett's blog: http://2crazycrafters.blogspot.sg/
If not, do go over to Off The Rails Scrapbooking for the complete list.

Here's what I have created:

"Magical Forest" Shadow Box



I gesso the whole paper mache shadow box, adhered some twigs with heavy gel medium. Then I cover the box with sand texture paste, crackle paste (randomly) and watercolored with Ecoline Liquid Watercolors. Love how bright they are. I did put a coat of gesso wash over to dull the brightness abit. Sprayed some mists inside box to highlight the crevices and cracks. Then distress the edges with black soot distress ink.



Stamped and adhered 2 fairies along with Prima flowers and resin mushrooms. Lastly I used 3D Jewel paint to create little glittering dots (like stars).

"Create Your Own Dreams" Music Box

"Spread Your wings and let the fairy in you fly". "Create your own dreams where there is none!"

Hi, everyone. Today at Imaginarium Designs, we are creating off the page projects. I made a music box with fairy theme.

"Create Your Own Dreams"



Using a music box base and Melissa Frances glass dome. Gesso the music box base, paint it with green acrylic paint, adhere art stones and Prima glass glitters with 3D gloss gel. Then added moss.

For the inside of dome, I stamped and colored a fairy and adhered together with diecut leaves and flourishes. Bend the chipboard fence slightly and adhered the fairy to the fence with 3d foam tape then adhered to base. Added a birdnest, wooden ladybug, a tiny squirrel, mushrooms and a diecut lamp post inside. Add moss to hide the adhesives used and any empty spaces.



Gesso the chipboards and added some light watercolors.







Gesso the chipboard butterfly white, watercolor it light pink and added glitter, flowers and crystals.





Here's the chipboards I have used:

"Travel Bug" & "Inspire"

Maundy Thursday to all. A busy week again. And I almost forgot to share about my projects for Imaginarium Designs. Have made a shabby chic layout and a shabby chic mini album. Do hop over to Imaginarium Designs blog to read more about the details.

"Got The Travel Bug"



Took this picture of my hubby and son at Bukchon Hanok, Seoul last December. This lane is so pretty with all the traditional Korean hanoks. Love that it overlooks the modern city. I love Korea. Would love to go again.

"Inspire"



Made this mini album of my favourite quotes with my old handphone casing as base. A good way to recycle old handphone casings.





Accordion style of album.

Fun Times & Down By The Sea!

Hi everyone. Today over at Imaginarium Designs, I'm sharing 2 projects I made with ID chipboards. Do hop over to have a detailed look and more pictures.

Been sick for the past week and still nursing a throat inflammation, cough and inflamed eye. So writing this post in a blur state. LOL.

"Fun Times" Layout



Made this  layout for our recent trip to Korea. Enjoyed the Korea trip very much. Been a few years since we really travel out (except for Church camps).





"Down By The Sea"







Made the boat, clay mermaid and fish net from scratch. Its so fun to diy on your own and more satisfaction. Its my first attempt to do all 3. Watched youtube videos on tutorials on how to do clay mermaid and the fish net. Got to admit that its not that easy especially when I'm using airdry resin clay. Have to complete the individual parts quickly before the clay dry up abit. Though I ended up with a fat mermaid (LOL), I'm happy with it. Learned how to blend the 2 colors of clay together too.

Hope you love my projects. Do hop over to Imaginarium Designs to read more and leave a comment to win a pack of chipboards. Have fun crafting.
