GUEST DESIGNER FOR BERRY71BLEU - FEBRUARY - MIXED MEDIA CHALLENGE TUTORIAL and PRIMA BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone, I am so honoured and excited to be chosen as Guest Designer for Berry 71 Bleu for this month!
The challenge this month is MIX IT UP WITH MIXED  MEDIA. http://berry71bleu.blogspot.ie/2014/02/mix-it-up-with-mixed-media-february.html
Here is a quick picture tutorial, and don't forget to scroll all the way down for my giveaway.

For this challenge I have used a canvas 9.5 inches x 12 inches.

Step 1

Paint a layer of white acrylic gesso onto the canvas, chipboard word and a piece of card 6 x 8.5 inches.

Step 2

Add a mask using texture paste to the top left corner of the canvas and all over the white card.

(For the canvas I coloured my paste with a little dark green paint).

Step 3

Apply spray mists to the dry background canvas and the separate card.

(Cover the canvas corner script with card so as not to cover it with spray).

Step 4

Add some more mists to the card and the canvas.

Step 5

Paint, mist and ink the chipboard word.

Step 6

 

Take a stamp (mine is a music stamp) and ink, and  randomly ink all over the card and canvas.

Step 7

Add some gold coloured acrylic paint randomly all over the card and canvas then ink the edges of both.

Step 8

I then used a doily lace mask with texture paste on the card and the canvas. (Sorry, I ran out of light for the last picture). Allow to dry.

Step 9 

Adhere the card to off- centre of the canvas.

Add a small white doily into one corner.

 I added a clock dial that I painted and misted.

I then added the lovely Berry71bleu tag, my photo and the Berry71bleu chipboard word LOVE STORY.

 Next I decorated with lots of assorted flowers and a handmade stickpin. 

I then lightly gessoed over the flowers and background to soften everything.
