In my heart - Layout for 49 and Market

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a Valentine's layout. I used the Vintage Artistry Serenity collection. 

I primed the Tranquil paper from the Vintage Artistry Serenity collection with clear gesso. Then I added a few strips of Serenity Washi Tape. 

I selected some elements from the Laser Cut Elements and Ephemera Bits Which I added under the photo. I added some pieces of cardboard in between to add some volume. 

I added two Plum Wildflowers and some rub-on leaves. I added a few Plum Tickets in between the Ephemera.

I added burgundy and brown inks to match the color of the flowers.

To finish, I added some burgundy glitter.

Own your story - Mixed media frame for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a small mixed media frame.  

I started by making a background for the frame using a piece of cardboard that I covered with canvas. Then, I primed them both with white gesso.

I selected different sizes of gears and a few leaves from the Botanical Mix chipboards. I primed all the selected chipboards with white gesso. I glued all the elements in place around the photo and added a few flowers as well. 

I colored the gears and botanical mix with the Burnt Umber liquid acrylic and a lot of water. When happy with the result I added some White Gold and Old White waxes. 

I covered the frame with clear gesso. When dry, I colored it with brown and black liquid acrylic paints. Then I dry brush with white gesso to whiten the frame.

To finish, I added some glitter.
