Rochelle's Folie - Mixed media panel for Mixed Media Place

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Mixed Media Place blog where I've been inviting as a guest designer. I worked with a photomontage I made a while ago inspired by Almayer's Folie from Magritte.

Here is the beautiful mood board for your inspiration 

I began my project by gluing a piece of the Solar paper tissue with Soft Matte Gel. When dry, I covered it with clear gesso. I mixed some Frozen Lake mica powder with 3D Gloss gel to make a paste. I used this paste along with the Golden Dust Jewel paste and a stencil to add a design. 

When everything was dry, I colored the background with different liquid acrylic paints to match the colors of the photo. I mixed Prussian Blue, Ultramarine, and Violet to obtain the right shade of blue. For the sun part, I worked with True Yellow, Tiger Orange, and a hint of Carmine. 

Before gluing all the embellishments, I primed the resin elements with Black gesso and the metallic elements with clear gesso. To color the elements, I used waxes: the pipes with Charcoal Black wax, the frame with White Gold, and the flowers with Old Denim and Peacock.

Next, I applied Vintage Gold over everything but I was careful to give the impression of the light coming from the yellow part of the panel. 

To finish, I added glass glitter and glitter.

These days are Special - Mixed media layout for 49 and Market DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a new vintage layout. I worked with another family photo taken in 1909 or 1910. In the photo, you can see my great-grandparents, my paternal grandfather on the left, and his two sisters.

• First, prime the background with clear gesso. It would protect the paper from all the media that we are going to put on it;
• Add a design with white crackle paste and a stencil;
  
• When dry, color the background around the design. Add water to obtain subtle color.
• Stamp randomly with the Harmony Springtime and brown Archival ink;
  
• Next, cut two papers of your choice to place under one 4x6 File Frame and one 3x4 File Frame;
• Put more or less the elements of the composition in place to see where you will add the leaves rub-ons from the Essentials collection;
  
• Continue to add rub-ons: the splatters with text. Be careful, they are really addictive!
• When done, start to glue all the elements of the composition: the File Frames, and flowers from the Royal Spray and the Majestic Bouquet sets;
  
• Add more color to the background;
• To finish, add glitter and microbeads.
  

I hope you will enjoy the video

Just Be You - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel. 

Photo by Denis Chekanov 

First I added an uneven layer of Plaster Paste. Next, I added some Paper paste and White Crackle paste. When everything was dry, I colored the background with the Burnt Sienna and Ink Black liquid acrylic paints.

While everything was drying, I painted the foliage #27, the Branches and Berries, and the Tea Leaves with the Dark Chocolate Impasto. I dry brushed them with the Linen Impasto, and finally, I added some White Gold and White Pearl waxes. I painted the Grid with black gesso, then with the Old Silver wax. And for the Mystic Frame #1, I painted with the Dark Chocolate Impasto, then I added a layer of clear Crackle paste. When dry, I added Sparkling Onyx Jewel paste. 

I colored the background with the Burnt Sienna and Ink Black liquid acrylic paints. I added several layers and dried between them until I was happy with the result. Next, I added a design with the Ledger stencil and the Burnt Sienna. 

I glued all the chipboards with 3D Matte gel and I added some flowers as well. 

To finish, I added some sequins and glitters.

Tea Rose - Mixed media canvas

Hello Sweeties,

Today I have a new mixed media canvas to share with you inspired by the Mixed Media Place mood board. 

I painted the canvas with Dark Chocolate Impasto. Next, I added some Graphite Paste here and there. I mixed some Snowy White Impasto with Prussian Blue and Ink Black liquid acrylics. I used this mix to color the background.  

I covered the resin elements with gloss gel. I mixed the Snowy White Impasto with Nude and Coral liquid acrylics which I used to color the resin elements. 

When dry, I highlighted the details with Charcoal Black wax, then with Graphite, and finally with the White Pearl.

I stamped randomly with Black Archival ink and the Old Town stamp. Next, I highlighted the details of the background with Old White wax. I glued the elements of the composition with Heavy Body Gel. 

I added some green touch with the Lucky Emerald wax and the Avocado liquid acrylic to remind the green of the photo. To finish, I add some pearls, glass glitter, and glitter.
