Some mixed-media - The Frugal Way

Hello.

Most often when people talk about mixed-media art, they say they dont want to try mixed-media as they find it very expensive. I have searched and found many frugal recipes online for crafty products and in my search for more inexpensive craft supplies, I did the "Frugal Mixed Media Course by Rashmi Tater of Aaradhya Creations". Sharing some of the projects, where in I used some of the techniques learnt during Rashmi's course. Her course is definitely worth for someone who is just starting out with mixed media and want to try their hands at mixed-media in an economical way before investing in expensive supplies.

P.S. Not all supplies used for below projects are frugal. I have used some products like Inka Gold from my stash and I have also altered the designs to suit my purpose.

Hope you like my try using Rashmi's Frugal mixed-media techniques. If you are looking for doing mixed-media frugal course, her course is definitely worth the money.

Love,

Your Love Gives Me Wings To Fly

Hello Friends,

It's almost a month to go for Valentine's day, but we all start making cards & gift items early. So here, I am sharing with you a frugal mixed-media layout for Valentine's  gitf.

• I wrapped some laces I had at home around a 3 by 8" piece of plywood (scrap piece of plywood).
• Apply a coat of Gesso. Once the Gesso was dry, I coloured the background using spray paints I made at home (You can find numerous frugal recipes on YouTube).
• For the focal point, I cut a heart from a red card stock and applied red glitter on it using glue.
• I drew wings on vellum using Ranger Emboss It pen and heat embossed it using White Embossing powder. Then I fussy cut the wings.
• I stamped sentiments on white card stock and applied a coat of Glossy Accent on them.
• To finish the piece, I adhered wings, heart and sentiment on the coloured ply using Glossy Accent. 

Hope you enjoyed this quick & frugal Valentine's gift.

Love,
