You Shine - Mixed media layout for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a mixed media layout inspired by the color of the November color combo.

Here is the November color combo

I follow the November sketch from 49 and Market as well.

I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I mixed the gel with three colors of mica powder to make three different pastes. I used them to add a design with the Flourish stencil. 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I covered the Antique Frames and the Iron Garnish #6 with white crackle paste. When dry, I colored them with Umber and Ink Black liquid acrylic paints. I glued a piece of paper under both Antique Frames

For the Foliage #9, I used Avocado and Umber liquid acrylic. For the Branches and Berries, I used Burnt Sienna and Avocado, and just a  little bit of Burnt Sienna for the succulent #4.

I cut a piece of clear acetate the width of the page. I added some embellishments under the acetate or on top of it to add more dimension to the page. 

To finish I added some glitter and paints to the background.

Free to Fly - Canvas for Lindy's Gang DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog with a mini canvas inspired by our November challenge.

Color Guidelines: Purple - Orange - Dark Pink (or pinkish-red)

Challenge Ingredient = Canvas

I glued some tissue paper on the canvas. Before the gloss gel was completely dry, I remove the tissue paper leaving just a few strips. I covered the canvas with white gesso, and then I added a design with clear crackle paste and a stencil. 

I primed the wings and the lady's hair with black gesso and remove it partially with a paper towel. Next I colored them with Beaver Tail Brown.  I used the Salt Water Taffy Magical to add some color to the face. I primed the resin frame with clear gesso and I used Beaver Tail Brown to color it. 

I die cut some leaves, branches, and berries in an watercolor paper. The leaves and branches were colored with Beaver Tail Brown and Bayou Boogie Gold. To give some dimension to the berries, I used hot glue embossed with Polka Purple EP. 

I used a 3D matte gel to glue all the elements of the composition. When everything was in place, I sprayed the flowers with French Lavender Violet and Hi Maintenance Magenta. 

When everything was dry, I finished the composition with purple and gold glitters.
