Mixed Media Magical's Make

Hello and Welcome. Today's post is to show you

my finished Mixed Media project I played with recently.

Over at Random Arts they have this divine Mood Board

and being a 'purple person' had to use this as my inspiration.

I am building my supply of Lindy's Sprays and 

I got them out to use some for the first time

to experiment. As I had nothing special in mind

besides using the colours of the mood board

I just went with what came to mind.

I gesso'd my 5x7 canvas and started building layers with

Dry Wall Tape, Punchinella, Little Birdie Stenciling 

using Dreamweaver Crackle Paste

 and a few things from my stash.

Then the fun began with the colours.

Adhered some cheesecloth to the back of my

Little Birdie Flowers that I have waxed  for effect.

Some Art Stones and Distress glitter made for more layers.

Randomly added some stamping from Art Alchemy

and finished with a few cabachons and some white splatters.

I am linking this up to the current challenges at

My Mixed Media Project for Random Arts

Hello and Welcome. It's my turn to showcase my take on this Mood Board

for Random Arts

It's a monthly challenge and

All the details can be found Here

I started my 5/7 canvas by attaching scrunched tissue paper

adhering it with Ultra Matt Gel

I brushed over that with Prima Parisian Rosewood

(big mistake) but was too severe

 so covered it with

the Little Birdie Craggy Stencil (out of stock), 

Transparent Gloss Texture Paste and

  Dreamweaver Crackle Embossing Paste

Waiting for the crackle to take effect

Once that cracked I added some 

Finnabair Art Alchemy Metallique Wax Vintage Gold

 and also on to the

49 and Market Market Ivory Fleurs Des flowers

and circle frame.

I then tore a piece of coloured corrugated cardboard 

and added the Vintage Gold Wax including the edges.

Added some lace with ribbon threaded through it

and continued with waxing the leaves and flowers 

ready for placement.

Adding some finishing touches with  a pearl for the centre flower,

waxing the middle one and some Nuvo Drops for the small one.

Attached a  Bo Bunny Butterfly Laser Cut Chipboard

Waxed in gold and black with 3 black pearls.

Here's a few close ups - 

And another of the finished canvas.

Canvas-ing for Random Arts

It's with great pleasure I  am able to show you my

first post for a New Blog I was invited to join.

It's called Random Arts - and local to me.

the Very Talented Amanda Mason and our 

First Inspiration Challenge began on the 1st July.

All the details regarding the Challenge are Here

Our Mood Board

I will be showing two project a month and my first one is

what we call a 'free post' where we have a free hand as to

what we make as long as we use products from The Store

I decided to just have a little play with some of the products

here by making a small canvas.

Sorry for the quality of this photo but I took it

on my phone and it is the only one I have.

The stencil is from AB Studio and

Tim Holtz Distress Grit Paste (super stuff)

I then added some colour with Art Alchemy Metallic Paint

then a splash of colour to the background with

Nuvo Shimmer Powder in Storm Cloud and some random text,

laces with a touch of Art Alchemy Wax for colour

 and cheesecloth. Also a few black flowers to the back.

I then got sidetracked with my Bo Bunny butterfly and forgot 

to photograph what I was doing. 

Applied some gesso first then while it was wet

added some Little Birdie Mica Powder, 

Art Alchemy Waxes in Rich Copper and Vintage Gold.

Topped with a painted cabachon. 

As the photo has quite a bit of black I though it needed

a little more so added five tiny pearls (one is hiding) to the lace.

Here's a few close ups!
