Be Fearless - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas. Again, I used a photo from @ArtHouseWhimsy.


To begin, I covered the canvas with an uneven layer of paper paste. I didn't wait for the paste to be dry before I added some gilding glue here and there with a brush.


While the background was drying, I primed all the chipboards and the resin elements with white gesso.


When the background was completely dry, I covered the gilding glue with gold Metallic Flakes. And then I painted the background with liquid acrylic paints. When dry, I added a thin layer of clear crackle paste in some places.


I painted the Wheat #3, Wildgrass #1, Foliage #25, and Botanic Mix #3 chipboards with a mix of Umber and Titanium White liquid acrylic paints. I used the same colors to paint the resin skulls.


I used Prussian Blue and Umber paints for the Moon #2 and the Postage Stamps, Prussian Blue for the Geo Tribal Motif #2. And for the Dreamcatchers, I chose to paint them in black.


To finish, I added gold glitter.

The Flower Garden - Layout for 49 and Market

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a new layout made withthe Krafty Garden collection. 


I selected for my background the bonus page from the Krafty Garden 12x12 collection pack that you can find at the back of the cover page. I cut it 2cm (approximately 3/4") and distressed the edges. I aligned it on the left bottom corner of Paper 5 from the Solid Pack and added some Laser Cut lace here and there.


I chose a few Frames stacked together to add under photo. 


Next, I selected some Ephemera Bits and Laser Cut elements to add under the photo stack. I added some cardstock between the ephemera to add dimension to the composition. 


I added a few Salt Nature's Bounty flowers on both sides of the photo.  I selected a few Laser Cut and Acetate flowers.


I added some Epoxy Baubles and splattered a mix of gold glitter and diluted soft gel to finish.
