Intro mixed media projects by our team

Hello everyone
Today we have 3 delightful projects to share with you all. Our new team is all set to work. 

Our Young and sweet girl Shwetha Mahadevan is very talented free hand artist and she has always in urge to try new art form. she has given her debut project for expressions craft.


Hello everyone, this is Shwetha Mahadevan from Shwetha's art, Immensely happy to be a part of expressions craft design team. I am super excited!!!😇😇😇 

Today, I am sharing my Mixed Media Altered Mini Canvas. I have used Chroma Burst the newly launched product from Expressions Craft. I have also used other products from expressions craft which are great to work with on various surfaces and projects. Guys, Don't wait. Try them soon. 
Take a look at them.



Prime the Canvas using Heavy white gesso. And I have used Expressions Craft stencils and imprinted it using Texture paste.  I have stuck a piece of cheese cloth to add interest to the project.

I have also added Expressions Craft crackle paste on the corners. I have used some metal, resin and other junk embellishments, deco stones from Expressions Craft and covered everything using white gesso.



Next, I sprinkled The Chroma Blast Colors and dissolved them by spraying it with water. They are wonderful pigments and spread easily. 

I have also used some metallic paints of pink and purple shades. Finally highlighted the project with Expressions Craft white gesso using a dry brush. 










That's all for today. Hope you liked my project. Will get back soon with more innovative and inspiring work. 
Happy crafting!!!

Supplies Used:
White heavy gesso

Greetings Everyone!

This is Isha Pai and today I am here to share detailed pictorial of Mixed Media Altered Divine Jewelry Box to keep precious ornaments of Lord Ganesha.

Also to mention, I have altered the box using negatives of chipboards, gold rings, beads etc.




Lets begin with the pictorial:

Step 1: I took a MDF box measuring approx 8" x 4.5" and textured it using Diamond Stencil and cement mixed with texture paste



Step 2: After drying of  texture paste, I pasted randomly torn corrugated sheets, the pasted Steampunk Gear set 2 and it's negative in the center. I had many leftover gold/wooden rings and beads which I have pasted randomly as seen in the two pictures below.






Step 3: To make the 3D top layer, I took two negatives chipboards of  a frame and Steampunk butterfly gear added many golden embellishments, wooden rings, wooden flower and ganesha on leaf embellishment.


Step 4: After pasting everything, I applied a coat of Heavy black gesso. Then started the coloring process with metallic paints. I have used a total of 4 metallic paints Bronze moon, Hunter green, Purple Affair. And pasted the frame on the top of the box slightly tilted for a 3D look.


Step 5: Lastly to enhance the look of the box I applied ancient gold metallic paint by using dry brush technique and sealed the colors using a resin spray and also sprinkled Fairy dust. And this is the final look of the box.




I hope the pictorial was easy to understand.

Do try your version of box using Expressions craft product.

All the links are shared (in the names highlighted) to purchase the products I used in making the above box. Simply you can click on the name and go to the page.

Happy Crafting!

Love & Peace from me to you all.... :)

We had amazing live session at our Facebook page, In case if you guys have missed then do check out on page, So moving on to the project this is what I have created :


To create this super simple mini canvas I made paper clay casting and adhere it on the canvas and to add more interest I added clear micro beads and Deco stones.. Once its dries completely this is how it looks :


Next I applied white gesso and colored the project using amazing Chroma burst, here I used "Tea cup teal", "Fresh water" and for adding little bit shading I used "Black gamma".
