Remember the now - Mixed media panel for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

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

I covered the canvas board with Carte Postale tissue paper with the help of a soft matte gel. Next, I added a design with the Lace Stencil and paper paste in the edges, and 3D Gloss gel in the center. When dry, I used liquid acrylic paints to color the paste in the same shade as the photo.

I primed the base of Decorative Scroll #1 with white gesso and the top part with black gesso. Then I covered the base with Gilding glue and waited until the glue was completely dry before covering it with Gold Metallic Flakes. I chose the Gold Black wax to color the top part. 

I primed the Dandelions and the Flower Buds #1 with black gesso and Gold Black wax too.

I primed the Foliage #4 and the Lemon Leaves & Blossoms with white gesso. Then, I used Burnt Sienna and Orange Tiger liquid acrylic paints to color them. 

I primed some Wildflowers with white gesso and used the same color of liquid acrylic paint to color them.

When the composition was to my liking, I added some glitter.

Born to Fly - Layout for 49 and Market

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market with a layout featuring the Birdsong collection. 

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

I chose a paper from 6x8 Birdsong pad as the base for the composition.

I selected the black frame and the black doily from the Birdsong Laser Cut Elements as well as the titles, the birdcage, and a couple of stamps.

I chose a few yellow flowers from the Birdsong Wildflower Laser Cut to add to the composition.

I cut some leaves from the Forever Leaves set and a couple of ticket from the Forever Journal Essentials set. I used some green and yellow Magicals to color them. 

I Keep the composition flat as I'm still deciding if I want to keep the layout as a page for my Art journal or to make a layout.

Wistful - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new canvas.

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

I primed the canvas with white gesso. Next, I covered it with paper paste and added a design with the circle Dot stencil. Then, I painted the background with purple, Prussian blue, and black liquid acrylic paints. When dry,  I added some clear crackle paste to the edges of the canvas.  I added more paints to make visible the cracks.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I cut a couple of pieces from the Marrakesh Treillis and used Black Gold wax to color it. 

I painted the Wisteria with purple liquid acrylic paint and added a touch of Honey wax.

I painted the Spider Chrysenthemum in blue as well as the flowers of the Daisy #3, and some umber paint for their leaves. I painted the Leafy Frame Set #2 chipboard with blue and umber paint. 

For the Leaves #5, I chose umber paint and burnt sienna for the Poppy Heads. I added gold accent with waxes to all the chipboards. 

To finish, I added some blue and purple glitter.
