Hello Sweeties,
Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media canvas.

First, I covered the whole canvas with book pages with a gloss gel. Next, I added a
design with the Geo Texture stencil and 3D Gloss Gel. When dry, I added a thin layer of white gesso. I kept it very light as I wanted to see the text and remove the gesso from the design with a baby wipe. I painted the background with black, Prussian blue, and umber liquid acrylic paints.
I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I chose the biggest Moon and colored it with liquid acrylic to match the shield of the photo.
I used different shades of brown paints to color the Wildgrass #1, the Foliage #3 and #25, and the Fern Fronds.
I added a design to the Boho Skull with white heavy gesso and the Fossilised stencil. I painted the horns with black and burnt sienna paint and the skull with the same color with a hint of orange, but I diluted the colors with water.
For the Feather Charm #4, I used brown, black, orange, and carmin paints.
To finish, I added some glitter.
