Today we’re sharing a journal spread inspired by the More Than Words January Challenge -Goals and Journaling
The page has journaling in the form of stickers and the goal is to learn a new skill. The new skill being of embroidery which has also been incorporated in the page.
We all have wings, it’s just that we need to dare to fly. In life, it’s always easy to succumb to excuses and pass on the blame, because anything and everything takes courage and belief. The belief in your own self and self-love comes first on this journey.
Here’s a mixed media canvas using Fantasy Dies- 642, 553,627 and 705; and Stamperia Mediums, Mould, Ceramic Powder.
The good news is we are teaching this. Yes if you are interested in learning this mixed media canvas and attending our workshop, e-mail us or message us on Instagram @addi.mahajan.

It’s always good to take up new challenges and join new teams. It’s a way of not only showcasing your skills but also learning and growing. It’s an exchange of skills, talents, ideas and much more and that adds value to lives.
Fantasy Dies is having a DT Call. They are recruiting people for two teams- one for the dies (knives) and another for the chipboards.
We are Sunila & Aditi (mother & daughter, aka Dots to Lines) and we live in Bangalore, India. We have been mixed media artists and scrapbookers professionally for about 4 years. We are into paper-crafting, Mixed Media Layouts, Art Journaling, Albums making, Altered Art and Scrapbooking. Our style of art and craft is a fusion of techniques and use of vibrant colours. We aim to spread joy. Every creation of ours, speaks a story and we enjoy sharing this with people. We keep learning and try to incorporate variety in our creations. We keep ourselves updated and upgrade our skills timely.
We would like to apply for the Dies (Knives team), as much as we love chipboards. We are huge fans of Fantasy Dies. To work with either would be a bonus, so we are open to the latter too. We would love to be a part of the Team, to showcase creative ways of using Fantasy Dies/Chipboards. We have a great standing and viewership as artists/crafters in the Indian Market, and we would be able to contribute to the growth of the brand, reaching a newer market like India. We have many interested crafters/artists who love using dies and chipboards in their creations, and with us showcasing the product, it would sure help the brand enter this vast art world in India. With our versatility, we’d love to showcase them across projects- journals, cards, layouts, altered projects, etc. Also, it would be a great opportunity for us to work with a team of mixed artists, share, and learn together. We’re punctual and hence timely project submission is a plus! We are into blogging and have experience being Design Team Members. We are active on social media platforms. We regularly also participate in various blog challenges. Documenting memories, especially through mixed media art and scrapbooking makes us happy.

Hello! We are Sunila & Aditi (Dots to Lines). Welcome to The Positive Vibes 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’ll enjoy the mixed media projects & pictorials we have for you.
Our Project is an Altered Glass Plate in a mixed media style. The theme is positivity and we were inspired to put together things and create a vibrant decorative piece that spreads positive and our message is to collect beautiful moments. Here’s a look at it:
Start with a Glass Plate
Add White Crackle Paste through a Stencil for texture
That’s a look at the texture
Add colour using Alcohol Sprays and Blend then with the Blending Solution. Here the colour palette is blue, green and yellow
Here’s how it looks so far
Invert the plate. Stencil on the black using White Acrylic Paint.
Go over the white acrylic stencilling with black acrylic paint. This darkens the print.
This is what it looks like!
Invert it again, and that’s the print we have on our background
Pick flowers, pollens and other elements for layering!
Net or cheesecloth is a great first layer to build the focal!
Create a nice cluster
Add the fillers and pollens
Glue the cluster and add leaves! Here you can add chipboard, die cut, ephemera elements.
Rub some waxes, to highlight the stencil textures as well as the rim of the flowers.
Use White & Black Acrylic Ink and add splatter with a paintbrush.
