Winter Nights : Mixed media + decoupage

 Greetings!

Winter nights are remarkable: cold, hot cocoa, frosty, stars etc...

Inspired by the Winter nights made a wooden board for hanging using decoupage and mixed media technique. 

I got this winter night decoupage napkin from Decoupage napkin USA an online store and created a background on a wooden board I got from Michaels.

To created more interest to the scene used some texture paste to bring snow effect.

The Christmas tree is embossed and it got a blue distressed look due to distress ink faded jean.

Florals, stars and bells completed the look of the project.

Smiling's My Favorite

 Hello There! 

"Smiling is most contagious but its my favorite !"

My Daughter's smile gives me a true purpose in life  . I always cherish her smile and hugs and have captured my daughter's smiling moments in a layout which will go on her room wall for this Christmas and new year. 

Inspired by the challenge theme at More than words challenge blog, I have sketched a mixed media layout.

Starting with mixed media paper, the layout progresses with use of diecuts, stencils and color florals. Of course the gold came into play throughout the layout. I am portraying my daughter's  childhood picture to meet the requirements of the Challenge.

Here are some captured images of the project.

If you find yourself  smiling after looking at here picture, the do leave some love for her! I hope you will like it!

I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy 2021!

Mixed Media Memories

Hi there! This is Sneha and I have recently altered a center bowl with some mixed media technique using Lindy's spray and Magicals.

This project is very special 💖to me as this glass piece was gifted to me by someone special on Thanksgiving 7 years back. I never wanted to part from this one and hence I altered it to treasure it as memories. 

I had fun making these as I am using Lindy's products for the first time though I have always been fascinated by them for so long, but was never able to get them for myself. Seeing my love for Lindy's, my husband ordered them as a surprise for  my birthday! Hence this project is so dear to me. I hope you will love it too 😊

Here is the step by step process in detail

So here I have taken a glass center piece and thoroughly cleaned it with 50% alcohol prior priming it with gesso. 

Once the glass surface was clean and dry I applied acrylic gesso both inside and outside area of the glass piece. and allowed it to dry for couple of hours.

Now using Texture paste from Ranger and a  home sponge created the background both on side and outside surface. this gave the glass piece a raised textured background. Obviously I allowed to dry😄

To fill my inside surface and to hold my elements on the top, I have used faux moss. I coated it with mix of white gesso and gel medium. This mixture with blend the faux moss with the project and will hold it in its place once placed in the bowl after drying

Tip: You can use  mixture of white acrylic paint and white glue with little water.

Filled half portion of the glass piece with the moss using a spatula as I want to place my elements on half portion of the glass piece. I filled moss to a desired level and allowed it to dry for 6 to 8 hours

This is how the glass piece with dried moss looked like. 

Once this was settled I place a cluster of  thin dried hay with the help of gel medium

Meanwhile I started working on the embellishments, here I have taken dry clay ornaments, lace mold, and paper die cuts made prior this project. I coated  clay ornaments  and lace molds with white gesso. 

I coated gesso on the paper die cuts and applied Lindy's Yodeling yellow embossing powder on the die cut saying memories and white pearl embossing powder from recollections on the big net die cut.

In the next step I have colored the outer surface and the top edges of the glass piece using Cattail copper brown magicals and Sassy Sapphire sprays one after the other  and dried the colors in-between using heat dry

I sprinkled the magical on the surface with a soft brush and using water mister I allowed it to swirl and cover most of the surface.

Here is the cattail copper brown  on top edge and on the outer surface of the glass piece

I love the surprise and mesmerizing after effect this magical powder had left on the surface, have a look

And here are the pictures of the glass piece with the Sassy sapphire blue spray.

I directly applied the liquid color in  the spray bottle tube.

On the outer surface I misted water on the liquid color again to help it swirl and cover  maximum surface. 

Here is the look of it.

In the next step I started playing with Tibetan poppy teal magicals, Prima donna purple spray and embossing powdered on the primed ornaments

Sprinkled and misted with water to swirl and cover maximum area

Applied liquid color through the dispensing tube directly and misted with water for maximum coverage 

Have a look

I followed the same steps and enhanced all the elements.

To give more enhancement to all the elements, I used Bling-y Blonde spray

and followed the same steps as above.

Once the colors were applied, I embossed all the elements with Recollection's Pink opaque tinsel embossing powder  and this is how the overall element looked like

I then started assembling all the elements one by one to one half of the glass piece using hot glue.

👉 ( I used hot glue as I wanted this to stick all the elements instantly and did not wanted to move them once positioned )

This how the complete assemblage looked like:

Once the assemblage was done I felt to add more to the project so I sprayed  starburst all color liquids from drop diva  set on a mixed media paper and die cut it. I also added Nuvo crystals to the tip of the die cuts 

Then glued theses die cuts ( not all of them ) to fill the empty looking spaces.

I distressed the  die cut sentiment ( memories, which was embossed using Lindy's yodeling yellow embossing powder ) using Hi Maintenance Magenta spray and glued it to the project

For the final step I added some microbeads (bought from local craft store) here and there to the project using soft gel medium.

Here is the  completed and final look of the project.

 

I hope it was a fun tutorial for you with a sensible step by step process explanation of this project.

Thank you! and have fun altering with Lindy's!
