    Reniferove is back with another stunning project tonight, all the products used are linked at the bottom of the blog.



    Welcome! Today I have prepared a tag for you on a wooden base.

    Of course, I started the work by applying a layer of white gesso from Finnabair. 

    Then the background was stamped and I started composing my composition.

     I used Bingo cards and pieces of paper that were on my desk.

     Between layers I put gears with MDF and metal elements. 

    The last addition was a small MDF clock and a cabochon with a clock. The colour was given by the new Lindys Squirts and olive-coloured alcohol ink.

    Smile video by Priya Mishra


    Hello fellow crafter's 

    Priya has been filming this awesome canvas, the drama with the black and then the orange tone flowers is so exciting. And another peak at the flowers coming very soon........


    Hello Crafty Friends,

    Today I have a video tutorial for a mixed media canvas. 

    Sometimes life brings lots of surprises and dull moments and you don't know how to react.

    So, my motto is never forget to smile . My canvas is dark and mysterious with the pop of colour from the flowers.


    All the products used are listed at the end of the blog. 


    Here's the link to the tutorial

    Altered wooden box video by Reniferove



    Happy Valentines day

    However we have a stunning not V Day project for you tonight from Reniferove, please check out the video as well, enjoy xx 


    Recently, there is a lack of space in my room. So I decided to buy wooden crates for all accessories, resin and paint casts. 

     The boxes were of course wood-coloured, which was unacceptable. 

     My inspiration today is to decorate the chest ... well, what for? What would you hide in such a box?

     Let me know in the comments, and I invite you to video tutorial and shopping to the store.

    Opulent Artist Trading Coin Card Toppers by Teresa Morgan


    Good evening Crafters

    So we are taking coins tonight, not the ones we use to spend on crafty goodies lol, but Artist Trading coins. This phenomena started last year and has kept increasing in popularly ever since. The perfect size is 6cm, we supply them in MDF and Chipboard. 




    Tonight Teresa is going 1 step further and turning them into cards, and as you will see, they also make beautiful toppers.

    All the products used are listed at the end of the blog. 









    Start with the Scrapiniec Chipboard ATCOINS, Snip sections of the Mehendi Boarders and glue to the Artist Trading Coin bases.








    Add colour, shimmer and sparkle with Lindy's Magicals, Glitter Ink and Alcohol Ink.

     The chipboard absorbs the colour really well for a rich deep tone.





    Highlight the intricate detail of the Mehendi Boarders using Metallic Lustre applied with your finger. The Prima wax is also perfect for this.







    Apply Distress Oxide inks to white cardstock through the stencil using a foam applicator tool, blending the colours together. 

    Mat onto gold card, then attach to card front.




    Add mini flowers, metal charms and micro beads to the coins using gel medium to adhere. Finish with a sticker and add to card front.

    Sweet Home - Altered Tea bag Dispenser by Priya Mishra


    Good evening peeps

    Tonight we welcome Priya back to the blog for 2019 and wow she has really pretty project made from recycling packaging, proving once again to save everything you can as you never know when it will come in handy. Although maybe if you can't see the floor anymore its time to part with some things hahaha. 

    We are having a pink pink week here at Artful Days to inspire you for Valentines makes, or if you simply love pink. 

    As already links to the products used are at the end of the blog. 



    Hello Crafty Friends,

    Today I have a beautiful Altered Art to share with you.
    February is Valentines month and I thought of creating something really cute and romantic.

    I had this flask packaging with me, I actually never through to use any such box in my Mixed Media projects.

    This is a tall box and I altered it into a beautiful Tea bag dispenser...

    Image result for milton flask with packaging

    First I cut the box in the shape of a house and created the space for Tea bag dispense. Then I attached it to another hard cardboard base and attached the roof. 

    Then I layered the whole piece with Prima heavy white gesso and once that dried I added a coat of Crackle texture paste.

    Then I attached some cheese cloth on the roof and sides of the project and also attached small chipboard cutouts here and there. 

    At the window I attached a paper roll to give some depth.After everything is dried, I coloured it.

    Then I adhered some paper flowers, some butterflies and twines to decorate it. 

    I also attached some laser cut chipboard and a chipboard piece which says "Sweet Home" on to it. Adhered some stones here and there and finally attached the fence around the house to complete the look. I did not colour that piece of chipboard and I like the way it is complementing the whole project.

    Here are a few more pics of the project.

    Hope you like my project.
    Thanks for visiting,
    Hugs,






    Thanks Priya
