    and fine arts.Now I am free lance artist n a entrepreneur 

2. How did you become interested in crafts and what inspired you to start blogging?

    I always wanted to do something related to designing n creativity and wanted to do it on my own,so crafting gave a way for everything I dreamed.While browsing i came across blogger n started a blog , I was not even aware of art blogs those time (around five years back ), I just wanted to try it for fun.Initially I was just sharing my previous works,but when I came across some paper craft blogs n challenge blogs I become really hooked up, n started blogging regularly.

   

3. What are some of your "go-to" supplies for crafting?

    First n foremost is a trimmer,I cannot cut it straight with knife or scissors :)  n I love using dies n lots of flowers n ribbons in my projects.

4. What is your favorite crafting technique?

     Mixed media,there is lot of freedom with mixed media which I love very much and it gives me a chance to use my painting skills a bit which I miss after  started with paper crafting.

5. How would you describe your crafting style?

    I love adding layers n dimension and depth  to my projects.I also love to do trendy  n stylish cards.

6. How long have you been crafting?

    I  guess its been 7-8 years professionally:)

7. My signature style

    Mix of trendy and shabby 

8. Who are some of your influences? Who has been your inspiration?

    I dont have any one in particular but I have a long list of favorites whose work I love to see.I mostly follow mixed media artists.

    Haha of course browsing through internet.

      Mini albums n some layouts.

Thank you Kavitha, it was so nice reading about you. So now lets checkout what she has made. 

               Today I am sharing a shabby chic  layered card which is one of my most                        favorite style.

I layered two pattern papers,both distressed on the edges n added some white gesso.

Then I  added some layers of tulle n seam binding ribbon for  giving  dimension to my flower arrangement.Then I arranged some mulberry flowers n resin pieces. I added a little bit of gesso for the whole arrangement to give a  shabby look.

Hope you liked my card,sorry I couldn't make a tutorial this time,but if you have any doubt please feel free to ask in the comment section,see ya:).
