Filled with hope and strength - Mixed media panel for 49 and maket

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market with a mixed-media panel created with the Moolite Garden collection.

I primed the canvas board with white gesso. Next, I added a design with a 3D Gloss Gel and a stencil. With dry, I painted the background to match the photo's background. 

I tore two pieces of the Dreamy paper from the Moonlit Garden collection to glue on both sides of the canvas board. 

I selected a few Ephemera Bits to add to the photo. I added a piece of cardboard between each element to add more dimension to the composition. I was careful to add the cardboard in the center of each Ephemera so I could insert more elements in between. 

I chose a few Laser Cut Elements and Laser Cut Wildflowers that I added to the composition at different levels. I also added some Washi Postage stamps. 

To finish, I added some Wishing Baubles.

Why stop dreaming? - Layout for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a layout. 

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy (A December Dream)

I primed the paper with clear gesso before adding a design with the Starring Night stencil and 3G Gloss Gel. Before the gel dried, I sprinkled some clear glitter.

I primed all the chipboards I'd selected with white gesso and then covered them with White Pearl wax. 

I added French Lavender wax on top of the  Christmas Berries #1. 

I used the Old Denim wax to accent the middle of the Poinsettia #2 and the fruits of Foliage #22.

I added a few tags under the photo and layered them with the chipboards.
