Hello Friends,

Today I have a mixed media project on my blog.This one was super fun to make as I was trying to use lot of my old stash.Also this one is closer to my heart as I was making it for myself.Trying to make a mixed media mirror with some beautiful lines.

Here are the pictures with close ups,

The project involves lot of stenciling,using Lindy's sprays which have been lying idle on my shelves for quiet long now.I tried digging up with some old chipboards too to create this lovely piece.

Hope you liked it.

Mixed media Wall clock

Hello Friends,

I have a beautiful Mixed media Wall clock for today.This wall clock is done for a lovely wife who wants to gift handmade to her husband.He will be celebrating his birthday in next few days.I am very happy with how it turned out and quiet sure that the couple will cherish it forever.

Here are the pictures,

For this clock I was inspired by the April Challenge from Papericious,Anything Goes with Flowers and Butterflies.

How I made it:

I took a raw clock base and applied Gesso on the whole base.Next I did some stenciling using various stencils from Tim Holtz and Craftreat.

In the center,I have used Pretty peonies Decoupage paper from Papericious. This paper has both the flowers and butterflies.I have used Mod Podge glue to adhere the decoupage papers. Next I have applied some inks from Tubby Craft and let it dry.

After that,I glued the Mdf cut Roman numerals ring around the center.I have also used some of the couple's pics to personalize the clock.

To complete the clock ,I have adhered some handmade flowers and butterflies.

Products used:

Hope you liked it.
