Be Fearless - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas. Again, I used a photo from @ArtHouseWhimsy.

To begin, I covered the canvas with an uneven layer of paper paste. I didn't wait for the paste to be dry before I added some gilding glue here and there with a brush.

While the background was drying, I primed all the chipboards and the resin elements with white gesso.

When the background was completely dry, I covered the gilding glue with gold Metallic Flakes. And then I painted the background with liquid acrylic paints. When dry, I added a thin layer of clear crackle paste in some places.

I painted the Wheat #3, Wildgrass #1, Foliage #25, and Botanic Mix #3 chipboards with a mix of Umber and Titanium White liquid acrylic paints. I used the same colors to paint the resin skulls.

I used Prussian Blue and Umber paints for the Moon #2 and the Postage Stamps, Prussian Blue for the Geo Tribal Motif #2. And for the Dreamcatchers, I chose to paint them in black.

To finish, I added gold glitter.

Hold on tight to your Dreams - Pascale B Scrap - Mixed Media panel

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed-media panel. I used a photo from @ArtHouseWhimsy.

First I glued some collage paper on the canvas board with soft gel. I added a design with the stencil and 3D Gloss Gel. Then I primed everything with diluted white gesso to blend everything together. 

When everything was dry, I painted the background with a purple liquid acrylic paint. When dry, I dry brush the whole background with white gesso to tone down the color and highlight the designs.

I primed all the chipboards I've selected with white gesso.  I used the mate Sage wax to color the Rose Leaves and the Leaves #5 with a tiny bit of Honey wax. 

I used the Honey wax to color the Botanic Mix #6, the Mini Birdhouse, and the Wheat #2. To add some depth I add Black gold wax on the edge of the Birdhouse and the Wheat #2.

I started the composition with the flowers - the biggest elements -  then added the chipboards. When everything was to my liking, I added shadows around the elements of the composition with black and brown liquid acrylic paints to add some depth. 

To finish, I add gold glitter.

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog. Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful October mood board which features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. 

"Family is not an imported thing.  It is everything." - Michael J. Fox

This is a photo of my beautiful family. 

 Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

All the chippies, except for the mushrooms and toadstools, were first primed with a layer of white gesso and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

I painted the title with Georgia Clay and dry brushed with Peaches 'n Cream.

The botanical ringlet was painted with Arbor Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint. The botanical ringlet was cut in half.  The other half I will use for another project.

The wild grass and wheat were painted with Hauser Light Green and True Ochre.

The grass clusters were painted with Arbor Green and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The wildflowers were painted with Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I colored the Foliage #4 with a sponge and all the above colors.

I covered the toadstools and mushrooms with clear gesso, and then Distress Oxide in Black Soot, Ground Espresso, Rusty Hinge, and Fired Brick. Press the four Distress Oxide Ink pads onto a craft mat and spritz them with water creating small droplets.  I started with Black Soot the base color and slid the chippies through the droplets a few times and dry with a heat tool. Repeat with all the colors and dry in between. I also splattered the chippies with the same colors for a mottled effect.  I very lightly dry brushed the chippies with Georgia Clay and True Ochre.

I painted the polaroid frame with Mint Julep Green and the edges with white acrylic paint.

The driftwood, plant label, and ticket were painted with Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges with Traditional Burnt Amber. To create the weathered wood effect I used a small sponge brush and dry-brushed the paint from left to right. 

I also used my favorite Wordpl@y elements.

Some close-ups.

The final touches to this layout included art stone and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Kingfisher - Pascale B - Mood Board Inspiriation

Hello Sweeties,

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

Here is the beautiful April color combo.

After priming the canvas cardboard with white gesso, I glued some washi tape. Next, I added some rub-ons. I covered everything with clear gesso and added a design with modeling paste and the Sunburst stencil.

I primed all the chipboard with white gesso. 

I painted the Maiden Fern and the Foliage #23 in green. I painted the Wheat #3 small and the Wildgrass #1 in yellow and orange.

I glued all the chipboard with 3D gel and added some flowers. Next, I painted the background with all the colors I used to paint the chipboard.

To finish, I added some glitters.
