Watercolor, Art Journaling & YouTube Videos

Hello everyone!

It's been long, I haven't posted anything.. Let me tell you what I was doing! I am practicing watercoloring.. I am loving it soooo much! Also, I have fallen in love with the Spectrum Noir Metallic Markers!

I have made some projects with the metallic markers. The first one was for the last HSN show..

One of my etsy shop customers saw it & asked me to make a larger canvas for her! Here is the one: 

 

And That is a 16"X20" Canvas! Loved making it! It was really fun to create! She also ordered another one, which is almost completed.. 

Then, I decided to make some youtube videos.. So, my first one was a simple card made with the metallic markers 

 

And here is the video! :)

                                   

I was inspired to make some watercolor doodled backgrounds, while watching videos of Creationsceecee I watch her videos for a long time, but decided to practice recently.. 

 

I have created these on A2 card fronts, But, have decided to save them digitally to print & use them later.. 

Remember my New year's plans? I decided to create at least one art journal page each month? I did it! I have created in January & February, but I was not satisfied enough to share with everyone! So, on March, I decided to go for watercoloring & to film it. So that if the work is good enough, I can upload it! And guess what? I thought this one is better than the last two! :) 

And here is the video: 

                                    

I am still learning the video editing. But I hope I will get better & will try to share more projects inshAllah.. :)

Let me know what do you think about my videos!

Thank you!

A Year in Crafting & New Year's Plans

Hello everyone! Happy New Year & Welcome to my blog..

It was a wonderful year alhamdulillah.. A year with lots of new experiences! Or should I say a year with Crafter's Companion! Yes, it was the best experience that could ever happen to me! Though I have almost turned into a crafter from a mixed media artist, but I am loving it..
I have had so many new experiences & got to know so much about papercrafting! I have used diecutting machine, watercolors, alcohol markers & learned about different types & sizes of paper, cuts & shapes of cards all for the first time in my life! It would have never happened to me if I wasn't blessed with this Amazing design team! Everyone related to my team is so helpful, I never felt like I don't know anything about papercrafting..
I started taking & editing better photos, Blogging about my work & also selling more on my etsy shop TAVANA CREATIONS. 

Here are photos of some cards I made for my shop for holidays & New Year...

So, for 2018, I have some plans to fulfill..

I would like to get more involved in crafting! My plan is to create at least 2 cards every month

I have realized, I miss acrylic paints & mixed media! This is my first love! so, I need to make more arts.. in any form.. May be once a month!

Art Journaling! Yes. I bought a Strathmore 500 Mixed Media Journal some days ago, and now can't wait to start! Primarily my plan is to only do mixed media journaling, may be once a month! I need to sit every week to achieve that, as none of my works are done in single sitting!

Watercoloring.. I want to experiment more on watercoloring! May be create a small tag or index card size collection with all my experimental techniques! I am not sure yet, but I do have plans for that too! 

I might give a try to youtube videos.. I have already made an experimental one (to see, click Here), but I really need to improve & learn editing a lot!

And lastly, I should show more love to my blog & the etsy shop!

I know this year will be not easy to get so much involved in crafting, as I am a Stay at home mom & all my situations & free time are unpredictable! But, still, there is no harm to plan something exciting, right? What are your plans? Do you want me to try or show something? Let me know.. & yes, please follow my blog so that you can get my updates! 

That was all for my today's post.. before saying goodbye, let me show you some of my lates DT projects for January HSN show! 

Thanks a lot for reading my loooong post, & have a very happy new year! <3
