I selected a sheet from the 6x8 paper pack from the Birdsong collection corresponding to the Solid Paper 1. 

Next, I selected some rub-on transfers from the Karden Crafts Blendable Set: a text and a text/flowers that I cut in two. 

I added a few Laser Cut tickets and doily from the Vintage Artistry Moonlit Garden collection as well as a couple of Laser Cut Wildflowers

This page will be added to my Black Tall Chunky Album.

Nature Lover - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today i'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new canvas about nature.

I primed the canvas with white gesso as usual. Then, I used different pastes to cover the background to obtain an uneven surface. I used paper paste, modeling paste, and Light modeling paste. The paints will react differently with each paste, and I want to obtain this result. I layered different shades of green (Avocado, Emerald, and Lime Green) and black liquid acrylic paints.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso too. I painted the Strawberry #2 leaves with Avocado liquid acrylic. I mixed some carmine and crimson to obtain a lighter shade of the girl's pants to paint the strawberries and the center of the flowers. 

I used lime and avocado to paint the Boho Feather to add some contrast.

As for the Dandelions, I just painted the flower stems with the avocado paint. 

To finish, I added some glitter.
