Spring is here and boy we love it! Sometime back, a crafty friend Nuneka, asked us if we would be interested in being a part of a crafty swap, and we said yes! Scroll down to the end of the post for the hop details and a giveaway!
Today is the day when we finally reveal our creations. A little about the swap- we formed a small crafty group and we were each assigned a partner. We had to create something for our partner and keep it a secret. Our projects travelled across the globe and we spread some crafty love.
In this post, I, Aditi, will reveal the project that I created for my partner Preeti Dutta. I wanted to create something that she not only treasures but also can use. Hence I made her a journal. I bought a blank sketchbook and designed the covers using mixed media. Preeti told me she loves Blues and Greens and that was perfect as those were spring colours. The phrases that I used on the cover are not just motivational but also go with the spring blossom. Check the video link below for more.
I also made a card to go along with it.
Check out the video flip through-
I’m linking this project to the Lindy’s March Challenge– Inspired by the blues, greens and yellows of spring. Products used- Sprays- Bachelor Button Blue, Ocean Breeze Blue, Drop Dead Gorgeous Green; Magicals- Luscious Lime, Bachelor Button Blue; Magical Shakers- Bavarian Blue, Guten Tag Teal, Lederhosen Laurel, Yodelling Yellow; Embossing Powder- Bavarian Blue and Lederhosen Laurel.
Mixed Media Place March Challenge- Inspired by the Spring Colours
Now, I would like to show you what my Partner Kate made for me. It’s funny how our thought process matches. She designed a journal cover too and I cannot express it in words how gorgeous it is. Here’s a look at it, and do hop on to her blog for more details.
Here is the hop list, do leave us all some love, along the way check any youtube videos we have and do like them:).
Now for the Giveaway, you need to follow our blog (https://dotstolinesblog.wordpress.com/) and leave a comment here.
We would love it if you subscribe to our youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/dotstolinesdesigns) and leave a comment in the Journal Album video above and follow us on Instagram too (https://www.instagram.com/addi.mahajan/) (this is optional but increases your chances of winning).
I will choose a random winner from all the comments received and the winner will win a 20$ Gift Certificate (shipping chargeable) sponsored by Peek-a-Boo Designs, India.
While we all share and spread the love for the art and craft we create, a few brands and store owners are generously sponsoring our hop. Here’s a look at them. It would be nice if you could leave them some love by visiting their site, like and following them on social media channels. Apart from any giveaways on the artist blogs, five lucky winners get prizes from our sponsors.
This Giveaway is open until April 4th (23:59 GMT) and we will announce winners on April 5th.
WOW! I love the whole concept. Opens doors to know more fellow crafters and encourages to design something out of league. Thank you for the opportunity Aditi. Sunila aunty you always inspire me with your work and following your duo I am trying to get in my mum too. It is really fun when we are crafting together
