Lost in thought - Mixed media canva for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I have a new mixed-media canvas to share with you. 


Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy (Quintessential Serie 4)

I primed the canvas with white gesso and then covered it with Paper paste. When dry, I extended the wall from the photo with Light Modeling paste.


I painted the background with Ultramarine, Purple, and Emerald liquid acrylics to match the photo's background. With the aid of the Gilding Glue, I created a random pattern of small circles on the upper part of the canvas and then covered them with gold Metallic Flakes.


I hesitated to keep the chipboards as they were but finally decided to paint them. So I primed all the chipboards with white gesso and used a tiny bit of Burnt Sienna and Ink Black liquid acrylics to color them. Then I added some Vintage Gold wax. 


I added some shadow to the edges of the canvas and along the "wall" with Ink Black paint. 


I used the Heavy Body Gel to combine all the elements of the composition and decided to add a design to the background with the

To finish, I added gold  glitter

Get lost to find yourself - Layout for 49 and Market

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a new layout featuring the Wanderlust Explorer collection.

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy (Quintessial Blue)

I selected Solid Sheet 3 as the background. For the base of the composition, I chose to work on a page from the 6x8 pack (Scenic Route). The paper's colors were so similar to those of the photo that I decided to add a piece of a darker color (Voyage Log). 


I selected some Die-Cut frames, stamps, and compass roses to add under the photo and stamps. 


I chose a few Laser Cut elements as well like the luggage, the map, the compass, the passport, the camera ... The details of those laser-cut elements are just amazing. 


To keep the composition romantic, I selected a few laser-cut flowers.


I selected two Chipboard Words as my title.


As always the fact that I used a 6x8 page means that I can keep the layout as a page for my Art Journal.
