La vie est belle (Life is Beautiful) - Pascale B - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel inspired by the April Moodboard.

Here is the April moodbaord:

 I covered the panel with a thin layer of paper paste. When dry, I added a design with the Ledger stencil and modeling paste. Next, I colored the background with Mica powders mixed and water mixed with Liquid Acrylic fluid. 

I primed all the chipboard with white gesso. I painted the Industrial Globe and the Film Strip with a mix of brown and crimson paints, then I add some wax. For the Tea Leaves and Foliage #6, I mixed brown and white paints with mica powder. 

To paint the Sugar Posies, I mixed crimson paint with Gnome Berry Bordeaux Magical. 

I tore a few strips from the Fragments paper from the Vintage Anywhere collection That I glued on the right side of the panel. I added some Laser Cut Elements from the Curators Essential collection. 

I chose some Ephemera and Remnants that I layered under the photo with the Film Strip. I added the leaves and flowers around the photo. 

To finish, I added some glitter and microbeads.
