Every eyes says Something

Hello friends.....
A very good morning from Apexa.....

Every eyes says something.... that's what I know....
It's just like There's  always

Some truth behind
"Just Kidding"

Knowledge behind
"I don't Know "

Emotions behind
"I don't Care" and......

Pain behind
"It's okay....."

Here is my  mini take dedicated to those eyes who says many things but ppl don't understand.


I used all my waste different size circles came out from my die cuts. For the background 


Partly I covered my cardstock with texture paste and crackle pastes to give more textures on the background 




Hope you like my take on this mini card I created for More than words challenge 
Also made it considering moodboard from Lindy's stamp gang



Thank you for stopping on my blog!!!!

Tag of Tags!!!!!

Hello lovely friends!!!!

Here I have come up with my Recent Creation which is a medium size of Tag. I called it "Tag of tags"!!! Because i was collecting  taese since long and Got a very nice Challenge by nomadicsouldieries to use these Tags.

One Girl very close to my heart,a teenager wants to fly high but passed through some critical phase...made this tag to motivate her....

I collected all my tags... all means all my experimented, textured, plain...

I gave textures with different  materials
1. I textured with my wastage of die cuts

 2. I created texture by applying a thin layer of resin clay and gave effects of woodgrain

3. I also created few leaves and branches from remaining clay

4. One tag I prepared by applying thin layer of resin clay and embossed with my leafy embossing folder 

5.I also created a feather from resin clay by pressing my feather embossing folder and cut the shape for my medium size Tag.
6. Placed an oval shape frame on top. Arranged and sticked all tags togather.
7. Applied a coat of white gesso
7. I created background by spreading some lindy's magical powders and  I used Polka Purple, Bavarian Blue, Gutan Tag Teal, Bratwurst Brown & Black Forest Black shades of Magical shakers to colour the background.

 8 I further arranged all my other elements, sentiments and highlight the complete tag with metallic gold acrylic paint. And put all arranged elements on a medium size Tag to give the final look of my Tag!!!

And this way my Tag to gift one of my nasties is ready!!!!

Here are few more angles of my Tag!!!! Hope u like the techniques I have used.... do leave some comments if u really like it!!!💗💗
Have a great day!!!!

GOALS


Hello friends....

I m so excited and happy to share these feelings with u all....

I Usually work on altered and mix media projects for my clients, students and friends.
 But yesterday for the first time I started working on my very first Art journaling pages for myself and...And OMG!!!! It's so much fun..... I really enjoyed making my journal page and colour and textures play....

I  made this page inspiration by watching many art  journal spreads by Anna dabrowska, Marta lapkowska & my dear friend Dutt Preety And I must say it's addictive ...

I made this journal page for a challenge by More than words challenges and also put colour inspiration from Art Daily Cafe challanges

And here are few angles and glimpses of the spread and my colour play

Positive vibes Hop-A secret book Box



Hi friends I am Apexa,

Welcome to positive blog hop. The purpose of our blog hop is to start the new year on a colourful & creative note, spread positivity & Good vibes. We hope you will enjoy the mix media projects and pictorial we all have prepared......

"STOP SAYING I WISH..... START SAYING I WILL"
yes.....With this quote I m starting my journey of the year 2019. With  " THE POSITIVE VIBES BLOG HOP" WE would like to spread positivity everywhere and to make everyone smile!!!!

"ALWAYS FIND TIME FOR THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY"

This is the title of my project which is a secret book box. I truly believe this quote in my real life too. If you are happy from within, you can make happy everyone around you in your life. So try to make yourself happy first. Spend atleast some time everyday for the things which you like the most!!!!

I named my project as  vintage secret book box because it's a box created in the form of a vintage book and inside the box, I created a secret place where  we can put something and a window view.

I created the box from chipboard and waste empty tissue roll. As my friends know me very well now that I prefer  to create any project totally from the base

Here is a small video to understand this project!!! And than I will be explaining with step by step pictorial 💖💖💖
1.Firstly I created a shadow box from top with the help of chipboard and empty tissue roll, I covered it with crumpled tissues by sticking with diluted glue
2. I create some ornamental design with stencil and crackle paste
3. I create book page effects by applying prima art basics modelling paste to three  sides of the box and gave some liner texture and Covered it with a coat of prima art basics gesso
4.put few uniforms dots on the edges
 4.inside I stuck an MDF window and created bricks effects on the background with the help of 3d outliner. I applied watery acrylic paints and wiped extra to give this look of bricks.
 5. I gave a vintage look on box spine with some chippies from Itsy Bitsy and embossed paper stripes

Also sticked some embossed papers on the empty small container box created from the empty tissue roll.
 6. Created the hinges from some die cuts all layered together to make it sturdy. Gave texture by dabbling with the fingers.
7. Started painting with Indian red and terquiesh blue acrylic paints on the box and brown and white on the sides
 8. Prepared some levels and flowers to put on the window part By using classic rose fine collection from heartfelt creations
9. Also created a fence to put below the window. Fill that with some artificial grass and some wooden waste from backside covered it with a black cardstock 
10.Fussy cut the lady figure and the can part and pasted to the places as shown
11.finally I stuck the heading of my book and gave finishing by fixing those hinges to the box!!!!


Hope you enjoy the complete process of making this project.
