Mixed Media Tag – Love The Life You Live

 Namaste Friends!!

I am Kriti. Hope you all are fine and healthy.

Today I have a mixed media tag for you to inspire you create something similar and join the ongoing Mixed Media Challenge.

This is what I made.....

Step 1 : Take a piece of cardboard and apply white gesso over it to completely cover it. I have given two coats of gesso as I have not taken a primed canvas. Gesso is used to make the surface non- porous, which prepars the surface for different paints and mediums.

 

Step 2 : Next, I have adhered some brick chipboards shapes to give it a look of a broken wall.

Step 3: After that, I have applied white gesso again to prepare the surface for the next step.

 

Step 4: Now it was the time to play with the colours. I have used two shades of Color Splash – Hot Pink for the bricks and Lime Splash for the left over space. (I forgot to click the picture at this step….but you all will be able to see in the final image)

Step 5 : I have used ‘Flaming Beauty and Enchanting Scroll’ chipboards and painted them with Misty Rose Chalk Paint.

Step 6: Next, I assembled all the elements like chipboards, handmade flowers, cheesecloth( to give a shabby look), some sisal fibre and some beads.

And Ta -Da its ready!

I hope you all like it and will make one for yourself.

Steampunk Mixed Media Notebook Cover

 Namaste Friends!!

Kriti this side….I hope you all are doing great…..

The” Mixed Media Challenge ” is currently running on Itsy Bitsy blog……and my today’s inspiration is for the same. I have altered a notebook cover in steampunk style. Although its not my genre….but I tried something different this time.

This is what I made!

I have a step -by – step tutorial for this….

 

Step 1 :  First, take a notebook and apply Little Birdie’s black gesso all over it to make the surface non-porous.

Step 2: To add some texture, I pasted some torn pieces of paper over the base with glue.

Step 3: After that, cover the surface with black gesso again.

Step 4: Now the most important part…That’s to decide the composition. I took some gear and flourish chipboards from the store and pasted over the base with the help of heavy gel medium. To give some extra interest, I adhered some half pearls in different sizes.

Step 5: After everything is dried…..cover the entire base with black gesso again.

Step 6: Finally, the most interesting part is to play with the colours. I have selected Little Birdie Patina Glaze and Copper Blaze metallic waxes to highlight the textures and chip boards with the help of finger.

And Ta- DA ……its ready…..
