Mixed Media Tag
"Backyard Adventure"
Hello Friends..
Back on 2Crafty Chipboard today with my inspiration work for March, I created Mixed Media work on a large wooden tag. As the spring is around, I themed it on gardening/kitchen garden with lots of brown and green hues and a complementary photo.
The leaves/foliage and flourish chippies from 2Crafty are my most favourite always and I incorporate them in most of my projects. I have used the beautiful leafy stems along with other fabulous pieces.
I have used a couple of round chipboard negatives along with pieces of circle stack and checkerboard bits all over the base of the tag, and then covering them all with Finnabair's heavy white gesso.
I then applied Finnabair's sand texture paste with a stencil. Once everything dried nicely, I coloured the background with distress spray stains. This gave a nice textured background.
For the summer leaf stems, I applied Finnabair's Metallique Acrylic Paint in "Golden Moss" and "Green olive".
I have used some natural wood pieces, cheesecloth and sisal between the layers.
For the Brooke's swirl chippie that I layered under the photo, I have applied Finnabair's wax in "bronze age" and "vintage gold". I have added highlights of these waxes on the background chippies as well. This gave a nice finish to the pieces.
