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
