You are Art - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media panel featuring a photo from @ArtHouseWhimsy from the A kind of Christmas set.

I primed the canvas board with white gesso before adding a design using paper paste. I also added some paper paste to the edges. When dry, I covered the design with clear crackle paste. The result is a barely visible and subtle design that reminds the wing.

I painted the background with Deep Turquoise and Prussian Blue liquid acrylic paints. 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso and decided to emboss the Geo Panel with grunge embossing powder.

I painted the Flower Posie #4, the Poppy Heads, and the Flower Buds #1 with nude and magenta liquid acrylic. 

For the Tea Leaves and the branches of the previous, I added some black to the nude-magenta mix to obtain a brown. I used this brown to add some shadow to the background.

To finish, I added some pink and turquoise glitter.
