Its Raining Washi at Color Conceptions Challenges!!!

Hey folks...I have been MIA thanks to my troublesome lappy...My MacBook survived 8 years without giving me any trouble but it did have a painful end with battery, motherboard and its internal fan all gone for a toss!!! Sad to be deserting it but at the same time happy with the new member in the family -MacBook Pro!!!

Anyways I have missed a couple of posts so instead of doing a details showcase of items and linking back to the blogs!!!

We are currently having the "Trash to Treasure using Washi Tape" challenge at the Color Conceptions Challenges. You can recycle anything as far as its done with washi!!! So do join us for the challenge and share your creations here.

My inspiration for the same was.....

I used an old leftover foam sheet and had two different washi tapes cover it completely and then a few strokes of Mod Podge just to seal the loose ends and give it a long lasting touch. After it dried down I cut it to make a puzzle game out of it!!!

There were many other beautiful and cool inspirations from the other DT and to have a look at it...click here.

Over the past three weeks the design team has come up with some real cool ideas of how to use washi tapes and for that am posting the links below...see for yourself and get inspired!!!

Ellectic Ellapu -Atleast 3 B's

Hi peeps...am blogging after a break and am surely happy to announce that am on the DT team of Eclectic Ellapu.

This week Eclectic Ellapu has come up with a very nice challenge where you can make any project...be it a card, a layout or an altered art but your project must include at least three things that begin with the letter "B" either in the image or as embellies.....whatever makes you smile.

There are some excellent DT inspirations and to check them out please hop to the Eclectic Ellapu blog.  As for my DT project this is what I made......

B for- Bottle , Baker's Twine and Button....

I took an old glass bottle that had been lying in my kitchen for God knows how long and after a quick clean up got hold of my Fabric glue and Baker's twine ....Though one can attach the Baker's twine to the bottle with many adhesives like white tacky glue, hot glue and glossy accents ....I prefer the fabric glue for its consistency...its thick so it does not drip and as its meant for fabric so it adheres to the Baker's twine instantly and gives a very sturdy and firm look to the attached bottle....I guess one can obtain similar results with glossy accents too but am not confident of a neat look with hot glue...

I then made a few pom pom flowers with Baker's twine using a fork....and added my third "B"- buttons to the center of it....

Hope I have been able to inspire you a bit to take part in the challenge at the Eclectic Ellapu....so what are you waiting for? Just select your "B's" and get going with your projects and yes dont forget to share them with us.....

Dress It Up....

Hi Folks....after an overdose of bookmarks, am sure this post shall act as a breath of fresh air....hehheheh...atleast I hope it does !!!

Today am showcasing one of my recycle projects that I recently did for a cousin....she handed me an old scribbled medical slip box ..that she wanted to glamourise to match her drawing room....the colors in her room were red, brown,orange and green with few shades of black here and there ....

Before...

After...

This is what I did to the poor old fellow.... just and just so that sir could fit in my cousin's drawing room and matched with her sofa sets and curtains and decor....

The big bloom and the punch flower border is also from Itsy Bitsy and has a self adhesive backing....I have used washi tapes on all corners and edges to give it a smooth finish ...

 

My cousin loved it....hope you too like it..:)

Keep your comments and feedback coming in .....I love it!!!
