1st Birthday Theme


















This exciting order on commission was a real challenge to me.  My
sweet customer really brings the best
out of me. My challenge was to incorporate photos into the frame and should be in the form of a wish..  After a lot of trials and rearrangement finally decided on the placement.


























Baby Ishaan's 1st birthday gift  with his new born picture accomodated into the quilled numeral  flanked by the quilled baby elephant so apt for the theme.













Birthday quilling and balloons cannot be far behind.  I added a small bunch of free standing quilled balloons.











To add to the baby theme  I added the sentiments laugh and smiles near the baby picture  and randomly placed different kinds of ball stickers


My first experience making a typography quilling. I am very happy with the result.




To glam up the birthday theme, I added a bunting with mixed media.




On the whole a fun experience making this aweosme  16x20  framed art work.  Actual work is contained in the mat opening of 11x14.   I will happy to commission any kind of art.  Do mail me at yesveecreations@gmail.com  with your requirements.

decoupage bottle tutorial

Greetings!!!

I am very happy to have started on the blogging journey on crafting  in the month filled with love.  Yes February all filled with love in the air. Although my crafting journey has started with papercrafts,  but off late I have been too much into jewelry making. Now time to rekindle my interest in other type of crafts. so today we will see my first decoupage try.

This gold and pink themed bottle decked up with flowers is a great addition to a romantic dinner table .
I have linked this creation to the challenge on the blog below 

PearlySparklesChallenge


Materials required


Any glass bottle of your choice
decoupage tissues
decorative elements like jute ribbon, floral embellishments, stamps
gold paint and sponges
modpodge or decoupage glue
glue gun or any other strong adhesive



Now lets get crafting



First step  clean up your bottle and prepare it for decoupaging.  Apply a coat of primer or white acrylic paint and let it dry.  Applying with sponge makes the work easy as well  covered.

Second step  fuzzy cut your tissue that is cut along the outline of the design or the flower what you want on your bottle.  After cutting it out seperate the layers of the tissue. Usually tissues are 3 ply.  discard the white layers. Keep your cut flowers aside.

Third step   At this stage you can directly modpodge the tissue on to the bottle. But I wanted a gold touch,  So I sponged the gold paint above the white painted layer. Let it dry.

After it is completely dry, brush on a tiny amount of modpodge on to the bottle where you want  to place your tissue.  The stick the cut flowers and brush on the modpoge over it to seal the edges.  Continue till you are done with all the pieces and achieved preferred design.  Let it dry well.



For the second bottle I tried to bring in mixed media effect and kind of light crackle.  So after the gold layer dries add a generous layer of thick while glue.  Before the glue starts to dry brush on white acrylic paint very lightly in vertical strokes without disturbing the glue layer.  When it dries the white layer will start cracking and creating channels  revealing the gold behind. Leave it to dry well.

Last step  is adding embellishments. Position your lace or burlap and stick it down with a strong adhesive.  Add a floral sticker for enhanced look. I stamped a heart shape in black on random spots. These are completely optional.


So these are two different kind of looks. It makes a good pair and an excellent home decor.  It gives a very aesthetic look on your hutch or entry way table or even corner tables.  Can be used as is or used as a flower vase.
