Good luck P.K

Prabhjot's (my big sisters) final exams are going on so i made her this card for good luck
I painted a flat black background first and made a strip of retro by layering red and orange paper that i printed
then with thick paint i made swirls under the flower

the flower was water colour pencils and i arranged sequins and sew-on delmontees in a downward pattern that gave me a new idea, coming soon

Aafreen

Friday 13th was Aafreen's grandmothers birthday and she asked me to make the card so i used the flower from the tutorial and other stuff ad i came up with this




Tutorial

Hey everyone
I finally got my stuff together for the tutorial here it is

Firstly draw three circles as shown below
then in one of the larger circles draw 4 lines towards the middle that stop halfway like...

then cut them out


we will start with the big line circle


we will start with folding the edges and standing them up




Lets now move onto the smallest circle

fold the circle into 1/8






open it up and start scrunching the edges



now let us focus on the big circle without cuts


and finish with scrunching the last circle standing


then we put the circles on top of each other starting with the whole circle to the one with cuts and finally the smallest

from the middle stitch them into place



then SPRAY-PAINT!!!

now to reveal some white push the circle edges together like we did for the big circle with cuts




and now for the middle, get some beads and superglue, firstly put some glue in the middle and while its wet fill it with beads

and we have a perfect flower waiting for a card

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Happy mothers day, well my mom's really special to me so i wanted to make her a card
so i came up with a simple idea
I spray painted black and dabbed it with a sponge to get light and dark splotches, After that i used palette knives to drag black on the bottom left corner to create a non-empty effect.

 The flower was done with watercolor pencils and felt-tip markers or fine-liners, then i used a printed background for the pink and green design


The flowers were made with 3 layers of origami paper stitched together, frilled up and slightly spray-painted because they were very bright. I then glued beads in the center, and for the glossy finish? Well what do i say hairspray is awesome!!. For the leaves i cut up some artificial feathers and the pieces that best resembled leaves i put under the flower, hope my mom likes it.

By the way i will make a tutorial for anyone interested in making these flowers.

Prom

Well yesterday was my 18 year old sisters last prom before going on to her final exams, and i needed an excuse to write a new post so i made her a card...


I got a navy blue card and used that as the back, at the top i did an acrylic wash and directly under it put some lace for an elegant effect.

I did the mask out of water color pencils and a bit of pen.
