Mix media mural

Hello everyone!!
Okay so a second post in a day. Lately I am trying my hands on new arts and crafts. For so long I wanted to try mix media murals. I love how they stand out and you can achieve many looks with some basic supplies. So I had carpenter at my home for some work and I rescued one abandoned piece of plywood and got the base board done from carpenter. I used cermaic powder to give various textures to the base. The Ganesha on leaf is also handmade with white m-seal. I hope you all will like my first attempt on making mix media mural.
The coloring is done using fevicryl fabric colors. I hope to make many more and improve.
Love

Engagement explosion box

Hey everyone!!
I hope all of you are well hydrated and keeping well as temperature is rising and making it very hot. Unfortunately the hot weather took a toll on me and my daughter. Hence I didn't get much time to craft. I have recently made an engagement theme explosion box on order. It was gift from a friend who is couple's best friend. We discussed and finalized the color combination gold and white. And I am in total love with this. 




I have made the faux rings with paper strips and coloured them with viva dcor inka gold. The gold and white card stock I precured locally. The faux paper cake is total stunner I love how red flowers sit beautifully on white n gold cake. The hearts are made to pop in air using acetate sheet. The congratulations quotes are printed on white card stock and then cut using spellbinders die. the lower panel of the box is having pics of the couple. 

I hope you like this box as much as I do.
Love,
Shivani

IDCG- May Challenge

Hello everyone!!
Happy labor day!! thanks to all those who makes our life easier. So a  new month brings a new challenge at Indian Quilling Challenge group. Theme for this month is Summers. You can make anything which signifies summer be it colours, textures anything that you can think of. I love summers for many things long days to craft, yummy fruits, summery flowers and cool ice creams. My daughter loves fruits be it melons, litchies, mangoes. Her favorite is watermelon. I am planning to make a few quilled fridge magnets with her favorite fruits. To begin with I have made a quilled watermelon fridge magnet. I hope to come up with more fruits' fridge magnets during this month as our theme this month suits perfectly for this. 

I hope you will like my interpretation of the theme. Visit my fellow DT's blogs for more inspiration and do not forget to participate in the current challenge at IQCG. 
keep quilling,
Love,
Shivani
