Fly High Mixed Media Panel

Hello Beautiful Crafters, 

Hope you are all well! 

Today I am sharing with you all a mixed media panel I created, inspired by the Art Recipe August Mood-board by Finnabair. 

As per the mood board, I chose the colors Blue, Purple and a hint of Silver on my embellishments. I created this composition on a MDF panel. I have used stencils, molds, metal charms, colors, art stones and glitter from Finnabair to form this composition. The focal image is from the paper dolls collection by Tim Holtz. 

Here are some close-ups - 

You can watch the video tutorial for this here - 

Hope you liked this mixed media panel full of dreams and beauty and it inspires you to make one of your own. 

Until next time

Follow Your Dreams | Mixed Media Layout

Hola crafty peeps,

Hope you are all well! 

Today I am sharing a very near to my heart mixed media layout. I never knew this layout would turn out so beautiful 'coz sometimes our ideas are good but don't turn out well. This layout turned out much more amazing than I had imagined it. 

I used a big window frame and broke its shutters to adhere as per my design. I also gave it a distressed effect with different shades of green. I used a lot of fussy cut elements from Mintay's Secret Place paper pack along with my handmade foamiran flowers. I topped the whole composition with a simple chipboard sentiment "Hello" which meant me saying hello to my beautiful dreams. 

Let's take a closer look -

Mixed Media Journal Cover

Hola beautiful crafters,

I am back with another mixed media project for you all. I have recently created a mixed media journal cover using cute miniatures related to beauty and fashion. 

I started with covering my journal with some texture paste using a stencil here and there on the front only. Next i adhered all my metal embellishments and miniatures using heavy body gel and let them dry over night. I next covered my front with heavy gesso black. 

I then began adding colors, starting with impasto paint in the shade crimson. I only used dry brushing technique while applying all my colors. I then went in with Azure impasto paint. Next i added some highlights with metallic paint in the color fuchsia pink. Once all the paints dried i added more highlights using art alchemy waxes in the colors vintage gold and Indian pink. Lastly, I topped the flower centers with art pebbles painted with fuchsia pink metallic paint. 

On the back of the journal I adhered tissue paper from Finnabair using some gel medium. 

Do leave a comment in the section below if you liked this project and do share your projects inspired by this one.

Until next time

XOXO

Live Your Dreams - Mixed Media Layout

Hello beautiful crafters,

Today, I have designed a mixed media layout for you all based on Mixed Media Academy Challenge's June’s mood board – Pastel Summer challenge. I was so glad to be invited by Priya Mishra and the MMA team to guest design this month for their challenge blog. 

Lets dive into the tutorial - 

Step 1 – distress the edges of 12x12 pattern paper & ink using distress oxide ink. Add a coat of clear gesso on top.

Step 2 – Using crackle texture paste and stencil make a design here and there on the paper.

Step 3 – Smoosh some distress oxide inks in the shades of yellow and pink, on the craft mat. Spray some water on it and add the color using paint brush on the textured area.

Step 4 – Once dried, add some washi tape torn randomly.

Step 5 – Using a dark color distress oxide ink and another stencil make an impression over the washi tape. You may choose to stamp as well in this step.

Step 6 – Lastly, embellish using paper flowers, some fussy cut out flowers, some die cut out foliage along with bows made with satin twine.

Here are some close-ups –

I hope you liked this layout as much as I enjoyed making it. Don’t forget to participate in the June monthly challenge at MMA & stand a chance to win some exciting craft goodies.

Until Next Time

XOXO

JK
