My Time To Craft Challenge

Hello my dear lovely crafty friends, Welcome back to my blog. 

A very warm good evening to you all. How are you all?? How is Covid effect at your place?? 


Welcome back to another new challenge at My Time To Craft Challenge Blog. This fortnight our theme for the challenge is Glitter and Sparkle. 


I have created an art journal using some decoupage cutout.



● I gave a coat of clear gesso on my art journal page. 

● To add colours to the background, I used 2 shades of Chroma Burst, I first sprinkle the both the pigment powder on page and with the help of water and brush, I blended the colours. After drying, you have to see the shimmer effect of it. Photo doesn't do justice it.

● Now I adhere the decoupage cutout using Matt decoupage glue. 

● I want to add more glitter on my page so I added texture on it using dots stencil and Moonstone glimmer paste and let it to air dry.

● I took idea-ology Chitchat stickers and adhere it on my page to finish it off.

Created Your Own Color Wheel

Hello  my dear lovely crafty friends, Welcome back to my blog. 

A very warm good morning to you all. Hope everyone is good. Today is Monday, so what's your plan for this week??


Today I'm sharing another art journal page which I created for #52weeksartjournal and last week prompt was Created Your Own Color Wheel. I have created floral designs because it also comes in wheel shape so.


Here is my page of last week, 


○First I coloured the background of the journal page using Shabby Shatters mini distress ink, here I directly rubbed the ink pad on the page to give a texture effect. 

○Next I took Dylusion Dy-cuts images and coloured it using Altenew watercolor set and I fussy cut the white border of the images. 

○Next I took stripe stencil & modeling paste, gave texture on the page using spatula, let it to air dry.

○To add more texture I used stitches stamp from Mudra Craft Stamps, which is my favourite Indian brand for stamp sets.

○After the modeling paste dry, I adhered the coloured image on journal page. 

○Took a polka dots stencil and archival pen, I did few doodling on the page.

○At last I wrote the sentence to finish it off.


Hope you like it. Please do leave me feedback so that I can improve myself more.

New Beginings

Hello  my dear lovely crafty friends, Welcome back to my blog.

In Instagram there is a weekly art journal challenge going on. It is conducted by Michelle Schratz @raspberrybluesky is her Instagram handle. She has started this #52weeksartjournal from January 4th and every Monday she will give a new prompt. I never took any art journal weekly so from this year I have started to take part in it.


On January 4th prompt was New Beginings so I have created an simple page in my new journal book which I have kept on for this 52 Weeks Art Journal and every week I will share my weekly page here on blog also. If you want regular updates on my art journal then please do visit my Instagram account which I have created only for Art Journal, my Instagram account name for Art Journal is @adventures_in_art_journal 

Here is my first page of the first week,


First I coloured my background using Distress Oxides and blending brushes from Tim Holtz. 

Next I did stencilling on it using a round lacey stencil and Walnut Strain Distress Oxide and blending foam. 

Now I took my favourite Dylusion College element sheets and fussy cut few images. 

Next I placed it on background and once I was happy with the placement, then I adhered it on my journal page and added few Chitchat stickers and outlined it with archival pen.


Hope you like it. Please do give me feedback so that I can improve myself more.
