Hi Craftypeeps!

Today my ‘happy place’ aka Blog is celebrating 7th blogoversary.

Its great to look back the journey. All started with Quilling, then cardmaking, and then it led me to where am today.

Mixedmedia, Altered art, Brush Calligraphy, Watercolor florals and Pencil coloring are my current interests and am absolutely enjoying every bit of this journey.

Keep Climbing! Made this card as a reminder to myself using a beautiful digital image.

  • Printed the beautiful climbing clematis digital image from Powerpoppy onto a white cs.
  • Colored using Fabercastell polychromos during Kathyrac’s June coloring contest time. 
  • Matted with Black cs and mounted onto lavender cs.
  • Added few purple enamel dots as accents.

Hi Crafty peeps,

Am SO stoked to guest design at Powerpoppy blog today.

Truly humbled and honored. Such a dream come true moment for me!

Am always a big fan of Marcella’s soulful illustrations…It makes anyone to color so instantly.

Though the coloring took a long time, loved every inch of layering and making this into a mixedmedia artwork by altering a round chopping board.

Hope to see you there!
