Hold on ... - Miced media panel for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

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


I've selected a piece of paper that I tore in two parts, but before gluing them on the panel, I added a design with clear crackle paste and the Lace stencil. I let the paste dry naturally. 


I primed all the chipboard with white gesso before adding any paint. I painted the Small Scroll #2 in Ultramarine and Purple paints, then added Aged Brass wax to remind the color of the peacock's wings.


For the Foliage #23, I used the Umber color. The Foliage #27 and Foliage #7 were painted with Emerald and Ochre. Finally, I painted the Forest fern with Ochre and Lime Green to remind the color of the peacock's head and upper wings. 


In the meantime, the crackles of the paste have appeared, it's time to finish the background. First, I glued my torn papers and inked the edges to give them a distress look. When done, I painted the design with green and brown liquid acrylic paints


I painted the Decorative Frame #2 with Umber, then I added White Gold wax.
When happy with the result, I glued all the elements of the composition with a 3D gel. 


To finish, I added some effect paste, mica, and glitter.

Dream Big - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with my second project for this month: a mixed media canvas.


I covered the canvas with paper paste. I didn't bother to have an even layer. When the paste was completely dry, I painted it with liquid acrylic paints that I made run with water. The top was painted with Ink Black. For the bottom part, I used different shades of blue liquid acrylic paints until I obtain the same blue color as the photo. When the paints were still wet, I added White Titanium to add more depth and Prussian Blue.


I primed all the chipboards with black gesso. I covered the Mandala #1 and the Word Disc #1 with Tiger Eyes Jewel paste to remind the color of the hair of the girl. I just added some gold with Vintage Gold wax.


For the Spider Chrysanthemum, I just added Mystic Turquoise wax to add a touch of blue to the upper part of the canvas. I used the Firebird wax for the Fern Fronds. 


I painted the Leaves #5 with Unicorn Hair Sparks and rub them with Vintage Gold wax. 


I decide to turn the title to black to add more contrast with the Ink Well paint and rubbed it gently with White Gold wax.


To finish the composition, I added some glitter, sequin, and microbeads

Bright and colorful - Mixed media panel for 49 and Market DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and blog with a new mixed media panel. 


I added a design with a stencil with black gesso. When it was dry, I painted the background with liquid acrylic paints to match the photo's colors. I removed unwanted splatters and brush marks with white impasto.


Next, I added on the edges of the area I'd painted rub-ons. I mainly chose splatters, text, and palettes in the same colors as the paints from the "6x8 Spectrum Gardenia Extra Rub-On Transfers" and "Essential Text blend Rub-On Transfers" in Salsa, Eggplant, and Fern colors.


When happy with the result, I selected some "Spectrum Gardenia Filmstrip" to add under the photo. I disposed them to kind of frame the photo.


Next, I selected some tickets and stamps from the Spectrum Gardenia "General" and "Essential" Laser Cut Elements in various colors and designs. I arranged them at opposite corners.


In the same corners, I added Kismet Wildflowers along with Spectrum Gardenia "Floral" and "Leaves" Laser Cut Elements. I made another cluster with the same elements on the opposite side of the main composition


To finish, I added different colors of glitter to match the overall tones.

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.

Coral - Canvas for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on dusty Attic blog with a canvas inspired by the May color combo.







 Here is the beautiful color combo for May:







I primed the canvas with white gesso before adding a design with the Circle Dot stencil and paste. While the paper paste was still wet I sprinkled with embossing powder. I let it dry before heat embossing the powder.  


I primed also all the chipboard with white gesso. I used different shades of brown to paint the Foliage #23 and the Leaves #5. I added White Gold wax to both and some Mahogany to the Leaves #5.


I painted the Dandelions with Nude and Carmin to match the color of the flowers. I painted the Marrakesh Treillis with Umber and add Copper wax when dry. 


For my background, I want to obtain a color similar to the color of the wall that can be seen in the color combo, but I want to give it a dirtier look. So first, I painted the background with Umber liquid acrylic that I removed partially. When the paint was completely dry, I covered the whole canvas with a mix of antiquing waxes: Soot and Sepia. I added clear wax as well to dilute the color as I want the background to have a light shade of brownish grey. When done, I glued all the elements with 3D gel.


To finish, I added some glitter.
