Wistful - Mixed Media Canvas by Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new canvas.

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

I primed the canvas with white gesso. Next, I covered it with paper paste and added a design with the circle Dot stencil. Then, I painted the background with purple, Prussian blue, and black liquid acrylic paints. When dry,  I added some clear crackle paste to the edges of the canvas.  I added more paints to make visible the cracks.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I cut a couple of pieces from the Marrakesh Treillis and used Black Gold wax to color it. 

I painted the Wisteria with purple liquid acrylic paint and added a touch of Honey wax.

I painted the Spider Chrysenthemum in blue as well as the flowers of the Daisy #3, and some umber paint for their leaves. I painted the Leafy Frame Set #2 chipboard with blue and umber paint. 

For the Leaves #5, I chose umber paint and burnt sienna for the Poppy Heads. I added gold accent with waxes to all the chipboards. 

To finish, I added some blue and purple glitter.

Card Trio - Heather Woodall

 

 Good morning

Today I've done a few cards for you. I think it must be stencil month, I know that Deb did some beautiful cards using Dusty stencils as well. 

I've kept my cards neutral in the black and grey tones.

For the background on all 3 cards I've used different shades of greys, beige and black Paperartsy chalk paints and some Dusty Attic stencil.

The first step was using the Marrakesh Stencil (DA2614) in a random pattern, I didn't want it all over the card, I wanted some negative space left.

I then used Wildflowers #2 Stencil and a medium grey across the bottom of 2 of the cards

Using a darker shade of grey I then used Wildflowers #1 Stencil across the bottom of 2 of the cards

I then used 2 different Wise Words Stencils to add the words at the top of all 3 cards using black paint

On the 3rd card I used Spider Chrysanthemum (DA1043) chipboard as my focal point. You have probably figured out by now that I love to colour using my Prismacolour Pencils, which is what I have done again this time, but again sticking with the grey/black/white tones.

Dream Big Canvas - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with my second project for this month: a mixed media canvas.

I covered the canvas with paper paste. I didn't bother to have an even layer. When the paste was completely dry, I painted it with liquid acrylic paints that I made run with water. The top was painted with Ink Black. For the bottom part, I used different shades of blue liquid acrylic paints until I obtain the same blue color as the photo. When the paints were still wet, I added White Titanium to add more depth and Prussian Blue.

I primed all the chipboards with black gesso. I covered the Mandala #1 and the Word Disc #1 with Tiger Eyes Jewel paste to remind the color of the hair of the girl. I just added some gold with Vintage Gold wax.

For the Spider Chrysanthemum, I just added Mystic Turquoise wax to add a touch of blue to the upper part of the canvas. I used the Firebird wax for the Fern Fronds. 

I painted the Leaves #5 with Unicorn Hair Sparks and rub them with Vintage Gold wax. 

I decide to turn the title to black to add more contrast with the Ink Well paint and rubbed it gently with White Gold wax.

To finish the composition, I added some glitter, sequin, and microbeads

Be your beautiful self - Pascale B - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas inspired by the beautiful colors of the March color combo.

Here is the color combo. 

Don't forget to play with us Dusty FANattics | MARCH Mood Board entries

I covered the canvas with Paper and Light Modeling pastes. I painted the background with Burnt Sienna liquid acrylic. I kept it very light. When dry, I added randomly some metallic flakes with the help of gilding glue. Then, I added clear crackle paste and let dry naturally. Next, I added some Ink Black liquid acrylic to highlight the crackles. 

I primed all the chipboard with white gesso before altering them. I painted the Foliage #1 with Ink Black and Burnt Sienna. I want them to be dark. When dry, I used the Stained Wood wax to matify them, then some White gold wax. 

I painted lightly the Foliage Cluster #2 and the Poppy Heads with Burnt Sienna liquid acrylic. For the Spider Chrysanthemum, I mixed Brown Sienna and Nude liquid acrylic. 

I painted the Antique Frame with Ink Black paint, then White Gold wax. I covered the inside of the frame with Metallic Flakes, then with Clear Crackle paste to mimic a mirror. 

To finish, I added some glitter.

Juliette Frame - Kasia Salmanowicz - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello crafty people!

This time I have for you a pastel project with new chipboard from Dusty Attic. I decorated a simple, plastic frame inspired by the moodboard for August. There is a pink, blue and a bit of brown so I worked very well with it.

At the beginning I secured the frame with white gesso. I did the same with all decorative elements that were in this composition. I glued everything with a heavy body gel. I used three shades of acrylic paints that I mixed with water. As always, I whitened the entire project after drying.

Finally, I splashed the frame with the paints that were used. I gently outlined the contours of the black gesso and added small stamps in several places.

Used in this project:

Broken Bits #4 - Marrakesh

Juliette Balcony #2

Spider Chrysanthemum

Corner Flourish #1

Hugs,
