(Video Tutorial): Dream Catcher Canvas - Dream Big

 Hello Dear Readers,

This post is inspired by the prompt at More Than Words Challenges. 

The first word / phrase that came to mind when I read New Beginning was - Dream Big, something I've been saying to myself for a few weeks now, especially when it comes to my art. Setting the bar higher, keeping my journaling practice regular and of course sharing them with all of you :)

I couldn't think of a better motif than a dream catcher to send me positive vibes and ofcourse lots of gold. My new favourite are gold flakes used on the chipboard piece. Here is a video tutorial of how this canvas came together.

You can find all the material used at the end of this post and they can be purchased from Itsy Bitsy Craft Store.

Thank you for visiting me today. Hope you will be back later this week to watch another tutorial.

Here is the challenge prompt at More Than Words Challenges

Wish you a creative and purposeful week ahead!

(Video Tutorial): Art Journal - More Than Words Challenge

Word Inspiration - FUTURE

Creative Challenge - STARS

What does the word future inspire me to create?

My project today is a two page art journal spread in which I document my affirmations, thoughts & intentions for the future. 

Scroll down further to watch a VIDEO TUTORIAL. 

 One page reads vertical and the adjoining page horizontal.

We all have a story to tell..... i truly believe this and all our stories have many layers just like me. I really enjoyed choosing from the vast variety of 2craftychipboard pieces that help me tell my story. 

 Can you guess the number of layers on this page? Maybe the video tutorial below will give you a hint.

Thank you for visiting me today. 
This challenge from More than Words is what inspired my pages today.

Wish you a creative week.

(VIDEO TUTORIAL): 'Treasure' Scrapbooking Layout using 2crafty chipboard

Hello friends,

Ive a short & sweet post to share today with a Video Tutorial for this scrapbook page.

The colour palette for the page was directed by the photograph. I was inspired to use this photograph when I saw this moodboard on Mixed Media Place.


Look at the photograph in the centre. Is it sunrise or sunset? Don't know, yet its beautiful and the other photographs convey a fuzzy beautiful feeling. I thought back about the time when there was no sense of time - day / night …. you guessed right - with a new baby in hand we were all living by the babys' clock not day and night. Lol. Yet, there was this happy feeling.

I love to include symbols that remind me of details around the time the photograph was taken - like the blue tissue and star sequins that were part of a baby gift many years ago. 

My favourite cluster is the on the top right - love the patterns and texture.

Here is the link to the Video tutorial:

Thank you for visiting today.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial.

Happy creating,

(VIDEO TUTORIAL): 'Vintage' Scrapbook Layout using 2crafty chipboard & 7Dots Studio

'You are not old, your Vintage'

You can find the video tutorial for this page here.

This month, my scrapbook layout is inspired by two of my favourite blogs - 

More Than Words Challenge Blog. and 7dots studio. 

So, almost literally as described on the 7dots studio blog, on a cozy warm, winter afternoon, I made time for myself to reflect on my journey these last few years. To document this, I chose the nostalgic 'Thoughts Keeper' collection.

The memories around the time this photograph was taken feel like just yesterday, so close, so fresh and crystal clear. But when I reflect on it, I've grown so much as a person since then. So much has changed, yet so much still remains. 

I decided to include messages and reminders to myself through symbolism - love for music through collaged music notes from Tim Holtz tissue, my daily ritual of drawing kolams (traditional indian mandala type designs) using a Kaisercraft stencil on the background, delicate lace and dainty chipboard reminds me of conversations I had with my grand mother & great grandmother about life, roses to remind me that even the most pretty things come with thorns and finally a word sticker with the words rise & shine - its never too late to try something new, one is never too late old to rise above our challenges and inspire those around.

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy creating,

Kripa

'What if I fail? But, Oh Darling, What if you Fly?'

Hello friends,

Its been a while since I posted here on my blog. 

Ive mostly been on Instagram & YouTube these past few months.

Here is the video tutorial for this project.

Earlier this month, I came across this moodboard at 7dots studio and was wanted to use these beautiful colours on a project. A couple of days after that, my friend and I had a conversation about how intuitive Mother Nature is and if only we could also reconnect with our intuition the same way. These were my thoughts when I set about creating this art journal page.

I hope you enjoy the video.
