"Silence is golden" mixed media panel

 Hello all,

Welcome to the Expressions Craft blog. Its Madhurima here and today I am going to share a mixed media panel with you all. Have you ever wondered that amisdt all the chaos and cacophony of life it's sometimes the silence within that gives us immense peace and tranquility. Hence the name of my canvas " Silence is golden". For this canvas l have tried to restrict myself to use only shades of golden, black and a hint of purple. I have mainly used the metallic shimmer paints from Immix to add colors to my background and other embellishments. For the embellishments I have used the steampunk chipboard from expressions craft along with a few clay pieces from my stash. The entire material list is at the end of the post. Here is the entire project and a few close up of the same. Hope you all like it.

Peach Bloom -Perfect use of Background Chipboard !

 Hello,

            Creative designer Vidhi Jadeja here. I have altered two cute heart Chipboards from Expressions Craft. They come in a set of three. In this post I specially want to highlight the Background stencil of  EC Chipboards. They are amazing and very versatile. I have used single Background Chipboard to create a base of one heart and even add rest pieces to build up layers in a project.

They create perfect depth and drama around the projects. Sharing you some pictures of a project and you can even see the process if this project too.
