Mixed Media No. 3

It's time for our Anything Goes Challenge at
Creative Artiste Mixed Media 
and here is my project for August.


I wasn't sure what I wanted to make so
rummaged through some of my Mixed Media bits
and this is the result.

I decided to cut up a really thick piece of cardboard 
that my watercolour paper came in and applied 
heavy gesso with my new silicone brush.
I liked the way it came out uneven.
I then cut up some chipboard from
Which Craft Do You Do and started placing my bits
to see where  and what I would use.
after I had gesso'ed the pieces.
I then stenciled my cardboard with Memory Box
Texture Distress Grid
and placing my elements and cheesecloth 
ready to gesso.
 adding some large and small art stones
This is when the fun part starts by adding all the colours.
Some of the products I used are
Lindy's Spray's/Shakers - Caribbean Blue 
Cowabunga Copper, Afternoon Delight Denim,
Ken Oliver's Metallic Copper/Coral
Nuvo Shimmer Powder - Blue Blitz
Imagination Craft - Rusty Patina
Art Alchemy Waxes - 
Mint Sparkle, Fire Ruby, Peacock
Mermaid Sparkle Sparks
Stamped sentiment on to a piece of an ice cream stick.
I got so into adding the colours I forgot to photograph the process.

Here are some close ups



That's it for this month.

Thanks for popping in - till next time
PS I have something totally different for you next month!
