Decoupage Alters - Peacock in a starry night

Hello friends!
Hope you are having a great day! It is Teacher's day today and I wish all the teachers out there a very happy teachers' day.

I still wish I can go back to school or college and life the simple life with only studies to worry about! Sigh! Gone are those days!!

Coming back here!, today I ought to be sharing some cards for my teachers (which I will post soon) but I am sharing a decoupage upcycle project that I recently did.

I had this amazing papers from Bob and Betty and the designs were just exquisite that I refused using them up for a long time. But then the perfect opportunity came along and I found the perfect object to alter. It was a glass bottle with a  flip stopper cap. Here is how it looks altered from a plain glass bottle version...

Steps to achieve this effect:

• Sand your bottle down with fine grit sand paper so that the Gesso/primer adheres better.
• Apply several coats of white acrylic paint/spray paint/gesso to give a base coat. I had good coverage with Gesso. 
• Next, apply the design you want with a Decoupage Glue. Here I have used ModPodge to adhere the peacock design onto the bottle. 
• Once adhered, make sure there are no air bubbles between the paper and object and give a couple of coats of ModPodge on top of the paper. 
• Paint the rest of the bottle with desired colors. I have gone for a night sky effect with blues and black hues with a starry effect. 
• For added interest, you can add some stamping as well. I have used kaiser-craft script stamp to give a slightly vintage effect.

Let me know what you feel fellas!

Hi all!
Hope you are doing great!
I am here with my second Guest designer post for the Path Of Positivity Challenge: The road ahead!

Here is my card for you :)

This card features the thought process that while it is absolutely necessary to dream on and keep targets in mind for the road ahead to be clear and definitive, it is equally important to chase all the negativity, obstacles and 'abd' dreams out of our way.

A dreamcatcher is a mystical object that is said to ward off bad dreams! In this card, I have incorporated an image from Ike's Art studio :) Love the beautiful dreamcatcher!!!
I printed it onto some cardstock and fuzzy cut it. I colored them using watercolors and traced out the threaded region using 3D liners and added some tiny half pearls.
I adhered the image onto a panel distressed with peacock feathers and spiced marmalade DIs. For the edge, I masked off a strip and embossed using WOW Iridium Embossing glitter . It adds such a lovely sheen in real life.

Finally mounted the panel onto a Blue Cardstock
