~ Sathya ~ 2 Comments

Hi Crafty peeps,

My little munchkin turns 10 years today and this Crafty Mom has made a canvas for him 🙂

He is one absolute sweet creative soul and many a times he encourages me to push me back to track in doing creative stuffs!!

What best I can give other than what he always wish for!

Made a canvas and gifted him…And that smile…simple loots my heart 🙂

  • Took a round canvas (8Ă—8″)
  • Primed with white gesso
  • Stenciled with light paste and Mudra memory dots stencils on both sides.
  • Sprayed LSG sprays in the colors – Azure Sea asters, Gregarious grey and  Ocean breeze blue
  • Stamped using Bo bunny script stamp using black archival ink.
  • Arranged the embellishments and florals keeping Prima Memory hardware resin frame nestled pic as focal point.
  • Splashed with distress ink black soot and white gesso.
  • Added timholtz word chitchat sentiment.
  • Black resin word Smile which is black gessoed and waxed slightly, added that to the canvas to bind along with the composition.
  • Few melange stones and prima SIC stones for the added interest.
Hope you like it!!

  • The colors blends so smoothly.
  • Splattered water on both sides but dint show up much of blotchy effects.
  • Dry embossed it using Sizzix – 3D embossing folder- Botanical (This way cs won’t tear and show cracks)
  • Gorgeous embossed and debossed sides obtained.
  • Trimmed the panel and matted to the black cs.
  • Took a vellum heart diecut, to it added a layered Thankyou diecut from SSS, which has 1 black layer and 2 white layers, and the upper layer is heat embossed with UTEE clear for added interest.
  • Used Nuvo glue pen for adhering the diecuts as well as to the vellum.
  • Then the card panel added to A2 sized white card base.

Brush Calligraphy: Travel Tag

~ Sathya ~ 2 Comments

Hi Crafty peeps,

Seized a moment to do some calligraphy drills. And, as always ended with Rumi’s quote.

Used Pentel touch brush pen for doing brush calligraphy here. These pens are short nibbed ones and gives a crisp neat outcome always!
Chopped this MUDRA XL tag a bit to suit my need. Ultra smooth surface is just perfect not only for stamping but also for the Calligraphy!
Quote on one side and recipient’s name on the other side! 
My neighbour here came to surprise me before her India trip with some Homemade, but ended up getting these Tags as her surprise 🙂 Made 1 for her and one teeny tiny name tag for her baby girl’s bag.
That’s how handmade brings in Joy to the souls around us 🙂 
Hope you to like it!
