Follow your dreams - mixed media panel

Hey Friends,

I love steampunk style mixed media . Its raw, grungy and very very manly. so today I present to u a beautiful panel with fresh colors not the usual browns which we mostly use for the steampunk.

For this panel I used hardboard n started adhering laces for textures. I love this broad lace and also the lovely texture it gave. I used this one as it didn't have any flowers or flourishes..... then i started arranging steampunk gears, some nails, screws, nut bolts, which added more to the steampunk style.  Then started adding browns for the edges going to greens to yellow in shades. I absolutely love the way it has turned out though I spent hours coloring it till I was satisfied. Added the sentiment follow your dreams as without sentiment I felt something is missing.

you mean the world to me - Mixed media panel

Hey friends,
Today I m here to present you with this gorgeous panel I made for my cousin. She wanted to gift something simple with a picture of both of them for her hubby's 50th birthday. she also wanted browns in the layout as it will match the decor of her home too.

For this gorgeous layout I didn't use any pattern paper. I made my own pattern paper!! I used 270 GSM iris paper . I used library green and leaf green archival inks for the edges n blended them together till I was happy with the result. then i used distress oxides on top of the green n sprinkled it with some water droplets so the oxides will react. I used script stamp n stamped it with green archival ink. added layers of photo mats n distressed the edges with scissors n distressed it with brown ink. added the window frame n added some die cuts, handmade heartfelt creations flowers and leaves for the whole layout. added a beautiful note which my cousin wrote for her hubby.

Hope you all get inspired with  this layout an love it as much as I do.

Thank you for stopping by !!!!

We both love this picture of him which we got in some calendar and we both wanted to treasure . unlike his usual glamorous pictures this one was super simple n that smile is contagious.\

For this layout I used 300 GSM heavy card stock .I used black archival ink for stenciling, steampunk gears colored in black, beautiful grey colored roses, white leaves, black organza laces , die cut butterflies i white, honey comb die cuts in black , paper strings, and left over chipboard pieces for the layers.
