LIVE LAUGH LOVE Mixed Media Shadow Box
(Daily ART DT + Mixed Media Warriors #26)


This is my 2nd DT reveal this  month for Daily ART
and this time around I created a mixed media project all inspired by Spring.

I am SO thankful that Spring is almost here (well actually it is supposed to be already), although we have so much snow left here in Eastern Canada (and expecting more) that it might not literally be felt here until July. :-/


I was also inspired by Challenge #26 at Mixed Media Warriors.
I followed the colour palette and incorporated lots of flowers as in the images
and of course was inspired by the 'hello Spring' sentiment.


I started with a wooden shadow box as my base which I primed with a thin coat of White Gesso. I then added a flower design on the inside using a stencil and a mixture of Aquamarine Velvet Paste and Sky Blue Glitter Paste. On the frame, I used a tiny dot stencil with Fine Texture Paste.


I then used Glossy Ink Spray in Rich Blue and Snow White as well as Vintage Ink Spray in Medium Blue and Baby Blue to create a marbled blue background. On the title I created an ombre effect using the Harmony Pink Vintage Paint and Carmine Acrylic Paint.


I painted the chipboard bird house and fence, both from Dusty Attic, in Chocolate Acrylic and Sepia Vintage followed by a bit of Crackle Paint. I made the grass with cheesecloth that I sprayed with Pale Green Vintage Ink Spray and Olive Glossy Ink Spray.


The Hardboard Small Shapes Flowers are so very pretty. I used a combination of Yellow/Beige, Carmine/Ruby (Patina) and Carmine/Harmony Pink on each color set. 


And of course, no mixed media project would be complete without lots of beads and art stones.


I wanted my shadow box to be fun and bright and reminiscent of Spring, a season that makes me want to 'live, laugh, love', and I am very happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it too!
