Hello Crafty Friends

This is Veena, glad to be the Guest Designer for Mixed Media Academy Blog for March Month. This month theme is inspired from the quote “Live life in full bloom” and mandatory use of flowers. I loved the vibrant colors of the mood board. I created an altered art as an inspiration for the challenge. 
                                                                                                                              
1. I started by adding sand texture paste to the MDF cage and once dried, I applied black gesso to it.
2. I then applied Lindy’s stamp gang purple magical shaker on the base. After that I did dry brushing with white gesso and later applied Aged Brass wax from Finnabair.
3. Then I added 49 and Market paper in the center  of the cage. After that I embossed two frames with Ranger embossing powders and glued them on to the base.
4. Then I embellished it with lots of flowers from dress my craft,leaves, pearls, sequins, glitter, glass beads and art stones. I then added a owl cut out and a quote to finish the project.
  








Hope you feel inspired and participate in the challenge. 

Good Luck!
Thank you Veena...

 "Live life in full bloom"

Here are some DT Inspirations...
Hi! Sab here with a new inspiration!


we are going through a difficult period but I am sure that we will return to be beautiful and colorful like flowers!

And this moodboard is perfect for this type of thinking! So I hope to see a big participation as hope that everything will end soon! A big huge!

Sab



 My project is inspired from our moodboard and I have used a quote "where flowers bloom, so does hope..."


I used a lot of flowers from little birdie along with Lindy's sprays. The background is layered with textures and different Chipboards.


Hello! Nature begins to wake up, I want to leave for the village and see how the first flowers bloom. So I created this old house that reminds me of village life.




You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more, If beautiful lilies bloom in ugly waters, you too can blossom in ugly situations too...
Stay positive..
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
This project is a combination of bringing positive Blossom & soothing music to fight against the current situation...
Stay Home... Stay Safe...





Hello my crafty friends...Chaitali here!
This month our moodboard is so cheerful n vibrant....just perfect to make you feel happy and positive in the current difficult times.
Inspired by the quotes, "Where flowers bloom, so does hope!" & "Everyday has a new hope.",
I have tried creating a spring scene in form of a canvas layout with altered book and many birds, flowers n butterflies; showcasing signs of new life and hope.
Wish it inspires you all to participate in this lovely challenge and join us is in spreading just creativity n positive vibes!
Take care....stay safe!



Hello peeps! India is in lockdown  and these are some of the hard and gloomy times for all of us to live in. Our moodboard this month is just what we all need...full of beauty, colours, freshness of flowers and spreading the message to live life in full bloom no matter what!
I have have made a small layout inspired by the moodboard. It brightens the darkest corners of my house with it's vibrancy. The message in the layout " Life is beautiful" is inspired by the quote of our moodboard, as does the small bouquet of flowers and the stripped background of flowers revealing all that golden sunshine underneath!
Wish it inspires you all to participate in this cheerful challenge, join us is in spreading cheerfulness all around!
Stay home, stay safe, stay creative!




I am inspired by the purple and green colours from the moodboard and for the flowers, I used a lot of fussy cut elements here.


Spring egg.
Spring comes to life. The sun is rising higher, the flowers and their colors fill us with optimism and joy in life.



What is life for you? Or is it more correct to ask what it means for you to live in full bloom?
Perhaps it is wealth, good apartments, delicious food, and luxurious clothes?
Or travel, new acquaintances and impressions?
Although someone will answer that life in full bloom is a healthy family, a simple but satisfying dinner and accommodation.
My project this month concerns all of us - for someone, for example, this lady in the photo, in order to live fully, to be healthy and so that her roof does not leak during the rain) And for someone, the villa will not be enough. Let's live to the fullest and enjoy the spring and warm sunlight) After all, it shines the same for everyone.

Our Design Team has come up with some amazing Inspirations...

Here is my project for April challenge. It's springtime and after so many cold days a lot of flowers will surround us. I have altered this base in the shape of ice cream and decorated it with flowers according to our colour palette. Hope this Spring bring back normalcy in our lives...


There is no place grandeur than a beautiful garden on a lovely day to leave behind the cares and worries. Soft breeze blows carrying the sweet scent of flowers through the air. Summer sunshine fills our heart with warmth and care that we lose ourselves in a day dream as we are surrounded by the bountiful blooms playing host to a kaleidoscope of butterflies.



Here is my project for April month inspired by our moodboard.
My quotes is 'Everything Blooms In It's Own Time '. Yes nature always does all in her own time.
We humans are trying to work against it and try to break the balance of nature. We have suffer the consequences.
We should take all the resources of nature as God's blessing.
I have created a mini garden on national jute and wooden embroidery hoop. All flowers are handmade by me in my little gargen with two little visitors..


This is my progect for April Challenge
I love the springtime and the scent of blossom that spring season brings to us.
There is nothing like waking up to a landscape full of blossoms and sun stroking your face.
This time I chose to create an Art Journal spread.
Hope I will inspire you with full of color and love
