Owl - Mixed media panel for 49 and market DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a mixed media panel. I worked with several collections. As you can see they all worked well together.

I primed the HDF panel with white gesso before gluing the washi tape from the VA Anywhere collection. I used a soft matte gel. I tore a strip from the bonus page from the VA Hike More collection pack and another from the Ginger Peach page - VA Mango collection. I glued these strips too. Next, I primed everything with clear gesso before the next step. 

I added a design with a stencil and Golden Nugget paste. Then, I colored the washi tape with Burnt Sienna and Carmine liquid acrylic paints. 

I colored a few Butterscotch Sugar Posies with the Carmine paint as well as I wanted them to have a color that matched the owl's eyes. 

I colored the Whitewashed Frame with Burnt Sienna to mimic a wood frame. I stacked some VA Mango Ephemera elements and laser cut from the VA In the Leave collection. I used a binder clip to attach them as well as the photo to the frame.  

I glued all the Sugar Posies, the Rustic Bouquet, and the Foliage leaves with 3D gel. I added also some natural elements like alder's fruits or feathers. 

To finish, I decided to add some splatters of metallic flakes as well. I used a stamp with a splatters design to add the gilding glue.

Green Lady - Mixed media canvas for Lindy's Gang

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog with a new canvas. I worked with a photo from Denis Chekanov;

I applied an uneven layer of Paper Paste and Modeling Paste on the canvas. When dry, I colored it with Ponderosa Pines Olive, C'est La Vie Cerise, Mystic Malachite, and Black Hole Black.  As you know, Lindy's Gang inks are water-reactive. It means that every time you applied a new color or media, the colors will react and the result will be different. To make the background colors permanent, I simply applied a fixative. Now I will be able to apply any color or media I want without affecting the background.

I embossed the Mandala with Silence is Golden Chunky EP.

I've die-cut some leaves in watercolor paper and colored them with Buccaneer Bay Blue, Mystic Malachite, Ponderosa Pines Olive. I added some shine to the flowers with the Blazing Sun Glitz Spritz. Unfortunately, you can't see it in the photos.

When the background was completely dry, I added a design with a stencil and a Clear Crackle paste missed with Antique Gold and Gleaming Gold. The result looks like a yellow amber.  Next, I glued some Gold Metallic flakes which I covered with Clear Crackle paste as well.

When everything was glued, I added some glitter to finish the composition.

Learn to laugh ... - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel. I promise you this is the last one for this year :)

 I primed the canvas with white gesso. Next, I added randomly plaster and white crackle pastes. When dry, I colored the canvas with black gesso and black liquid acrylic paint. Finally, I added a design with the Ledger stencil. 

I primed all the chipboards with black gesso. I painted the Geo Panel #1with Sparkling Onyx Jewel paste. 

I painted the Gear Corners #2 and one of the Jumbo Cogs #2 with Silver Spoon metallic paint. When dry, I covered them with wax, then with black gesso. I allowed the gesso to dry, then remove it with a paper towel. For the chains and other cogs, I simply waxed them with Old Silver, Brushed Iron, or Old White. 

With a splatter stamp, I added some gilding glue which I covered with silver metallic flakes.

To finish, I added glitters, microbeads, and some Ice Crushed paste.

Captured Moment - Mixed media layout for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a layout inspired by the pink colors of the October combo. This color combo was a true challenge for me as all my friends know that I'm not a pink person. Well, I remember this photo taken a few years back of a Hummingbird Hawk Moth. It's a butterfly with a very long trunk that allows it to forage on flowers hovering like hummingbirds. As you can imagine, they are very hard to photograph. 

Here the color combo for October:

Before priming the background, I stamped randomly with black Archival ink and a text stamp. Next, I made a paste with 3D Gloss Gel, Cotton Candy Pink Magical, and pink glitter. I added a design with the Lace stencil using both White Gold Icing paste and the pink paste. 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I embossed the Framed Journal Box with Silence is Golden EP. 

To color the other chipboards, I used liquid acrylic paints. For the Foliage #6 and the Laurel Sprigs, I used Burnt Sienna, Magenta, and Nude.

I colored the Flower Stamens with the Nude acrylic paint. Finally, I used Nude and Burnt Sienna to paint the Designer Disc #10.

I glued all the chipboards with 3D Matte gel starting with the frame, then the leaves, the flower stamens, and pink flowers.
To finish the layout, I added glitters.
