Handmade with Love

Mixed media is possibly one of my favorite things to do, mostly because there is no right or wrong! There are so many techniques and so many ways to express your art.

I recently made this mixed media canvas on commission from inputs from the client.


The color palette was suggested by the client as she wanted it to match the recipient's home decor.

The natural wood elements are from our park and quite a lot from Itsy Bitsy.

The beautiful frame, which I spray painted gold, is from Crafters Corner and so is the preserved moss. The quote is handwritten and then treated with distress stains.

The chipboard embellishments are from Mudra and the bird, which I am super proud of, is handmade using a glue gun.

So, all in all, there are a lot of creative elements to this piece and I loved how it turned out.

I hope you liked it too!

Thank you for stopping by today!

XOXO

Hello there,

I haven't blogged in ages it seems :) So popping in here to say Hi and to share this beautiful shadow box I made sometime back but never got around to sharing here.

Pattern papers used are from Dress My Craft and they coordinated perfectly with the photos. I have been hoarding these papers for so long now, just because they are so pretty <3



I added a few stamped sentiments and I think they look perfect for this particular composition.

Some Prima embellishments and mulberry flowers to accent the box and fill up the empty spaces.


I hope you liked this shadow box. It makes for a great, unique and beautiful gift!
See you again!
XOXO Ujjwal

Hello and welcome to the 2nd Annual Cutest Video Hop Ever! My daughter Aadya and I
are excited to be joining Emily Leiphart for this fun hop, crafting with our kids and inspiring
the next generation of crafters! We hope you have as much fun watching us craft with our kids,
as much as we enjoyed creating these projects to share with you.
The video hop is filled with talented mums and very cute and talented kids and you wouldn't want

We created these cute cards with watercolor backgrounds and some die-cuts and had the most fun ever.
Aadya also did the video voice over and I think that is the cutest things ever.

Hello there,

The last couple of weeks have been hard and exhausting for me, both physically and emotionally. I finally decided to take a break from commissions and do something just for the joy of it. I love watercolors and spending 30 minutes painting this not-so-perfect week was probably the best thing I did entire week :)

I am glad I recorded the entire video because watercolors are so soothing to watch. I hope you agree with me after watching the video :)

All supplies used are linked below in case you want to check them out.



Supplies used: Prima Watercolor Paper 6" X6", Gansai Tambi Watercolors, Brustro Technical Pen 0.5
The process is simple and the loose watercolor florals can hardly go wrong. If you are beginning with watercolors, I would highly recommend starting with florals.


Don't forget to leave me a comment and keep me motivated!
Love, Ujjwal

Hello there,

I know I haven't posted here in a long long time but I have been sharing a lot of my projects on my Instagram account, so if you don't follow me there yet, go ahead and follow.

This album is one of the unique ones that I have made in recent times and I loved working on it. I am sharing some of my favorite pages from the album here and I hope you like the complete video flip through of the album.

I used the "Rosette Paper Collection" from Bob n Betty and mixed in some papers from "The Wedding" Paper Collection from Papericious.













And here's the video flip through


I hope you like it as much as I did making it! I have so many other projects to share here in the coming days so don't forget to check back later. Love, Ujjwal

Happy Monday lovelies,

Today, I have a very special post with a project close to my heart because it is far from my style and yet, has turned out so well. I am guest designing today for the Crazy Crafter - Crafting Supplies Store. They sent me this gorgeous paper pack to try and I was a little skeptical to work with it (because I generally work with bright colors) but I am glad I took the chance. The paper quality is splendid and I had a great time working with it.

I shared the sneak peeks of this project on my Instagram account @ujjwal.handmadewithlove and had so many queries about the papers. So I am posting the details here in case you'd like to check it out.

The paper pack is called "Love in Paris" manufactured under a brand called "Get Inspired" and retailed by the Crazy Crafter Store.
