Just Because - Mixed media panel for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I am up on Dusty Attic blog with a new panel inspired by the vibrant color of the June color combo.

Here is the gorgeous color combo for June 

I added two designs with the Paper paste with the Ledger Stencil and the Circuit Stencil. When the Paper paste was dry, I added the white crackle paste. I was careful to remove the crackle paste on top of the design as I want it to be seen. 

While the crackle paste was drying, I primed the chipboard with white gesso. I painted them with liquid acrylic paints. The Foliage #7 was painted in Violet, the Foliage Cluster #3 with Nude and Tiger Orange, and the String Frame and the Word Disc #1 in Coral.

I painted the background with the different colors I used to paint the chipboard. 

When happy with the background, I cut the largest String Frame in two and add the title at one of the ends. Next, I added the flowers and the different foliage. 

To finish the composition, I added some glitter.

Steampunk Girl - Mixed media Layout for 49 and Market DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market with a mixed media layout. 

First, I've glued my Paper 4 from the Color Switch Toast collection to a cardboard as the composition will be heavy. I primed the background with clear gesso.

I primed all the resin elements with clear gesso. I painted the gears with a dark brown paint, then added some copper wax. I used only waxes for the feathers: first Charcoal a grey-blue matte wax, then a black one to darken the color, and finally the copper.

I colored the Celery Wildflowers with brown inks to obtain a color more suitable for my composition. 

I selected a few Frames to add under my photo. Then I decided to add a white touch to the composition.  I chose some cards from the Envelope Bits set from the Color Swatch Toast collection.

I began the composition with the biggest elements: the gears and the feathers. Then I added the photo with the frames. I continued with the flowers. When happy with the result, I added a few Acetate Leaves and a couple of butterflies.

To finish, I added some glitter.
