Dream - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel inspired by the amazing May color combo. Again, I used a photo from Christina Fischer.

Look at this amazing color combo!

I glued a piece of tissue paper on the canvas with soft matte gel. Next, I added a design with modeling paste and a stencil. When the paste was dry, I painted the canvas with a green Effect Paste and linen Impasto paint. I added some Bronze Age and White Gold waxes to  the 

I primed some resin elements with black gesso. Then, I highlighted them with the same paints I used to paint the canvas. I finished them with Bronze Age and White Gold waxes. I painted all the chipboards with a thin coat of linen Impasto before coloring then with liquid acrylic paints. For the Spring Blooms #1, I used Crimson, Nude, and Burnt Sienna paints. Then for the Spring Blooms #2 and the Feather Charm, I used Nude and Linen. For the Maiden. The Maiden Ferns were painted with Avocado. 

 I primed the Layered Swirl Frame with black gesso. Next, I waxed the base with Vintage Silk and I embossed the top part with Silence is Golden EP.

When all the elements were to my liking, I glued everything with a heavy body gel. I added a few flowers and some natural elements as well like feathers, branches, and poppy seed pods. I decided to add some Ice Crushed paste on the beads of the Feather Charms and to paint the paste with Avocado paint. 

 To finish the composition, I added glass glitter and glitter.

The Mermaid Chamber - Mixed media panel for Lindy's gang DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog for the May challenge with a mixed media panel. I used a photo from Christina Fischer. I try to create the place where a mermaid would like to rest surrounded by lost treasure ...

Here is the May Challenge. 

The colors are: Teal - Deep Yellow- Green 

and the Challenge Ingredient is Ocean

I primed the HDF panel with white gesso before gluing a tissue paper with Soft Mate Gel. Next, I added two designs with the Golden Dust Jewel paste and two stencils: Vintage Wallpaper and Gothic.

I primed the coral resin elements with clear gesso as well as the seahorses and the seashells. The other resin elements like the frame or the fishes were primed with black gesso. These last were colored with waxes. 

I colored the coral and the seashells with Tainted Love Teal, Tibetan Poppy Teal, and Cathedral Pines Green inks. I added some die-cut gorgonian colored with the same inks. For the head of the seahorse, I used the Bling-y Blonde ink.

I colored some natural elements like the lichens with Galactic Teal and the moss with Bling-y Blonde.

To finish, I added glitters of different sizes and colors.
