Mystique - Mixed Media

Hello Happy Scrappers

Hope you are all warm and having an inspirational weekend

Today I am sharing my latest mixed media project with you.

I really enjoy using the mixed media mediums and experimenting with
backgrounds, colour mediums, textures and embellishments.

Products:

Canvas
White Gesso - Pebeo
Modeling paste - Pebeo
Matte Gel - Liquitex
Stencils
Mixed media Artsy stones - Imagination crafts
Alchemy wax - Jade - Imagination crafts
Achemy wax - Bronze - Imagination crafts 
Embellishments
Flowers
Metal chain
Black Gesso - Pebeo
Gauze
Crackle texture paste - Platinum - Finnabair
Used paint brushes
Die cut mixed media background
Lindys Starburst  - Whale watch blue
Lindys Magicals - Mission brown bells


Process:

I glued down the smaller canvas onto the larger one.
I used Matte Gel medium and glued the gauze around the smaller canvas
to create texture and flow from the small canvas onto the big one.
I created background on the small and large canvas with Modelling paste and stencils.
I placed the stencilled paste randomly on the canvases.

I then used Platinum crackle paste off the stencilled paste and spread randomly on the canvases.

I let this all dry naturally, to ensure the crackles develope properly.

Once all dried, I glued down  the paint brushes, embellishments, stones and flowers.
I added the die cuts and metal chains over the brushes.

I used Lindy's sprays to colour the project and then add the Alchemy wax to highlight
the embellishments.

I used black gesso to lightly wipe accross the edge of the canvases and crackled paste.

Always so much fun playing with mediums

You can never make a mistake, so you can add colours and textures and make it darker or lighter.
If you feel you have made the project colours to dark, then add a little white gesso with a sponge or
brush.

I have entered my Mixed media project into the Mixed Media Place January Challenge
