'Love' Mixed media canvas

"Love" My new project is this mixed media canvas in 6x6 inch size.  This canvas  is dedicated to my love of beaches,sand and water!

Have a look

 The "surfy waves" chippies were first coated with white acrylic paint. Then

I used my watercolor markers to colour and highlight them in a few areas.

 The "love " Loopy font chippie has been given coat of gesso and mist.

 Then I added microbeads randomly.

The Handrawn hearts has been covered in pink acrylic paint and then I splattered gesso on it. 

That's all from me for today :)
Hope you like the canvas..Do let me know!

"Gypsy Soul"- Mixed media layout for Prima PPP

Hello friends!

This is a new post from me today. I tried my hands on the wonderful Prima Product Pick for the month of march. I feel you all should give it a try. If nothing else you will challenge yourself to create something each month and at the end of the year you will end up with at least 12 amazing pieces of art! Its a win win situation anyways...

Well here is the page I made..

"Gypsy Soul"

The fun thing about this page is that I used no mists at all. It been done entirely with Prima watercolour Oil pastels. I wanted to try them on  y layouts since some time and finally I got the chance. 

What I love about them is that the application is just where I want it to be. I can still make it run ans spread like other mists and sprays but at the same time control the flow. One more thing... If you want your colours to be bright and spread easily then do use it on gesso covered paper...White or clear any will do the trick. And yes .. They don't smudge after drying and become water resistant.. almost waterproof once completely dry.

Some close up-

 For this page..I have used quite a few old collection stuff from Prima. I just love these papers and embellishments! I will list the names of the products used below if you want to know.

Smile- Mixed media layout with a tutorial

Hello friends!

Hope you all are doing good. 

Today I have new mixed media layout to share with you all. I created this for Crafters Corner blog and also shared a tutorial. 

You can see the post here.

Have a look at the finished layout-

PHOTO TUTORIAL

I started with Pion design paper- Paris Flea market- Rose du jardin. It has a wonderful script on one side and a beautiful pattern with roses on the other .I decided to go with the script side as my base.

Next I cut the paper in half along one side using my We R memory keepers trim and scoreboard and distressed all the edges of both halves of paper with my Prima Comfort craft Distressing tool. 
This is one of my most favourite tools any day. The Prima Comfort Craft Distressing tool comes with four different distressing attachments and all of these give different effects. I used the blade on the side to distress my page edges.

Next I gave a generous cost of Sakura gesso on my entire paper.  Gesso is basically a primer and prevents the soaking of inks and mists into paper thereby giving gorgeous vibrant results.

 I dried this using my Rangers heat it tool- a must have for mixed media projects!

I also punched out a strip of12 inch X 1 inch size using the Martha Stewart -Doily lace border punch and  the Pion design-Paris flea market Pink fabric paper and reattached my base paper with this border in between.

Next I took out my Lindys stamp gang starburst sprays in Cape cod coral, Hottie patottie hot pink,Sea mint green and Sweet Violet purple teal and sprayed randomly on the paper. I dried this using Rangers heat tool again
.

Next in process was taking out my stamps and stencils. I using the Kaisercraft Dictionary meanings texture stamp and Magnolias stencil from Prima. This is a new stencil in the shop and has these lovely flower and rose patterns. I am so in love with the design that I am thinking of making it the star of my project next time. Love it totally! 

I used black Archival ink for stamping. Archival ink does not bleed on application of inks/mists or water and this is what I wanted for my project.

I used the Pion design-Paris Flea Market- Pink fabric paper , Tags paper  and Post cards paper to make some layers behind my photo.

I used the crackle paste by Prima with the Magnolia stencil and gave some textures on the page randomly using the spatula.

This is how I prepared my background basically.  I also did some stencilling with Prima flourish stencil later once my layout was almost done to add more texture.
I embellished my layout with some mulberry flowers and Leaves & Mushrooms- laser cut wood veneers from Prima. Also used a resin embellishment and clear glass cabochons.
My title- 'Smile' is a Heidi swapp acrylic word.I am so in love with the font!
