Vintage Beauty - MIxed media panel for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm on Dusty Attic blog with my first Dusty Attic project for 2022. I was inspired by the beautiful colors of our January color combo. 

Look at this beautiful mood board!

To begin, I primed the canvas board with white gesso. Then I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste. 

While the paste was drying, I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I glued all the chipboards with 3D Matte Gel along with flowers and Art Stones. I waited until everything was completely dry before the next step.

I mixed blue and green paints to get the right shade of Duck Blue. To obtain the right shade of brown, I mixed brown, black, and white liquid acrylic paints. I used both mixtures with the help of water to color the composition.

I added some White Pearl paint on the Feather Charms. It adds a metallic finish to them. When the color was to my liking, I used waxes to highlight certain details. To finish, I added glitters.

Captured Memory - Mixed media panel for 49 and Market DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a new mixed media panel and the recorded video of the process. The last time I was in Paris, I bought some vintage postcards in Montmartre, this is one of them. 

I primed the canvas cardboard with white gesso before adding a design with a stencil and modeling paste. When dry, I painted the background with liquid acrylic paints until I have the correct color to match the color of the Garden Variety paper from the VA Everyday collection. 

I tore a few strips of paper from the Garden Variety paper to glue on the top and the bottom of the panel. 

I painted the Archival Board with the same color I finally used on the background. I waxed them as well to add some metallic accent with White Gold and Vintage Gold. I used the waxes also on the background to highlight the details of the design.  

I selected some tickets and doily from both the Everday and Wedgewood Ephemera Stacks to add between the paper strips along with the Archival board and some Bluejay flowers from the Rustic Bouquet set. 

I added glass glitter and glitter. And to finish, I added some random stamping with the Snapshot of Yesterday set.

I hope you will enjoy the video:
