Distress Technique Key Holder

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


A very warm good evening to you all. Hope everyone is good. 


Welcome back to My Time To Craft Challenge and this fortnight our theme is NEW HOME. 


I have created an Key holder using wood distressing technique. 


This is one of my favourite technique and very simple but very elegant. First I gave a black chalk paint on the base and let it to dry. Once it dry, I gave a coat of woodwax and let to dry. After drying I used 2 colors of chalk paints and applied it on using flat brush and shading technique. Let it dry. Now I took sand paper and started to rub on it in one direction. Now it did insta transfer on it and gave 2 coats of glossy varnish and added hooks and corktape to attach important papers. I made this for a customer for there new home.

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

Happy Crafting and Stay Safe

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

I have created an double page art journal using the digi by our sponsor. 



Recently I purchased my first Distress Oxide Sprays and my hands want to try them very badly, so I used them to create the background using my favourite which Dyan Reaveley's Ghosting technique. Here I have used 2 types of stencils, one is circle and another one is stripes. Next took Archival Black pen did some Doodling using same circle stencil. I took digi print on watercolor paper and coloured it using Altenew 36 Watercolor half pan set and fussy cut. Using some circle punch and decoupage, I cut few pieces and adhered it on my background. Now I adhered my main focal point. For sentiment I used Chitchat stickers from Tim Holtz. Gave border on both sides using transfer me design.


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