Happy Saturday and hope everyone is having a great weekend! I wanted to share my 1st Mixed Media layout this weekend which I made for a challenge! It was a lot of work but so much fun using paints, stencils. water color pencils and glitter sprays! It definitely got messy at times! Lol! I started out by layering some random CC paper on 12x12 heavy chipboard. I distressed around the paper and also added white paint from Martha Stewart in "Wedding Cake" around the edges. I used the Crafters Workshop stencil called "Mini Flowers" and stenciled this with white gesso on each corner of the layout. I then sprayed over it with Tattered Angels "Sweet Clover", "Vintage Pink" and "Gold" glimmer mists. I wanted to define some of the flowers a little more so I used my watercolor pencils in teal and blue to quickly color in some of the petals for those flowers. I then used my water paintbrush pen from Lindy Stamp Gang to paint over it to blend the colors and give it a softer look. The second stencil I used was a small butterfly from TA. I sprayed the same glimmer mist colors over the stencil and then stamped the corresponding butterfly stamp over it as well. I used some additional MS acrylic paints in "Peppermint Bark" to edge the title and to use in some random stamping with a Studio K mini background stamp. I also used MS paints in "Sky Blue" and "Scallion" with some bubble wrap to stamp randomly in spots around the butterfly. The corrugated board behind the pictures is from a box I cut up. With the piece I used, I took off the top layer so that the corrugated part was exposed. I painted over this with the white paint and then again glimmer misted on top of it. I also added a layer of TA Glimmer Glam in "Chandalier" to give it even more glitter and shine. The flowers are from I am Roses and Recollections. The music paper was just from my stash. I tore a piece of it and then added it below the picture. I sprayed over it with TA "Gold" and also edged it a little with some TH distress ink in "Walnut". I'm also going to give this to my mom as part of her birthday present so I hope she likes it. I hope you all like it too! :) Have a great rest of the weekend and thanks so much for stopping by my blog! :)
Wow Marcy! Love it! i am new to mixed media and am just starting to get into it. I love the use of the gesso and all the fun details like the stencil work, spray and stamping. I am new to MS paints,and they look great. Such a lovely pic you used for the layout. What a special piece. I hope it is framed and hung somewhere soon.
