LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE Layout
(Daily ART DT
+ Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #46)


Hello! It's my turn today to share a project on the Daily ART blog
and I have created this mixed media layout using several mediums from
the long range of products available from Daily ART.


I am playing along with the March Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #46
which is to use at least one stencil and 3 different mediums.



I started off on a Blue Fern Studios background paper to create
this grungy earth-toned page mixed with a little steampunk.


I added some stenciled dots pattern to the base with Beryl Velvet Paste.
I also sprayed some Vintage Ink Spray in Sepia. The intricate leaf chippies
were painted with Beryl Velvet Paste as well.


I then spread some Sand Texture Paste in which I worked a bit of Bitumen which is a water-based medium used to create an aged look. By mixing it up with the paste, I wanted to create the illusion of black mossy dirt to go with the natural theme of my layout.


On the large white chipboard word, I dabbed a combination of Beryl Velvet Paste,
Sand Vintage Paint and Bronze Glimmer Ink Spray, dabbing the excess off to keep it light
and visible against the dark brown and kraft backdrop.


I added the finishing touches to my layout by misting some Snow White Glossy Ink Spray
and dabbing white paint on all my embellishments.


I am thrilled by how this layout turned out, and I hope that you like it!

TRUE LOVE Mixed Media Canvas
(Daily ART DT
+ Mixed Media Monthly Challenge)


It is time for me to share with you
another Daily ART DT project, this time, a love-inspired project,
perfect for the month of February. I got my hands dirty with
lots of pinks and purples to create this very dreamy Valentine canvas!


I was inspired by the February Challenge #45



The canvas is 12 x 3 inches.


I added a thin coat of White Gesso to the base, followed by 
a bit of Fine Texture Paste. Then, using Silver Stencil Paste,
I added some stenciled design with the Vintage N Stencil.


I then added, very randomly until I got the desired look,
a combination of Glimmer Ink Spray (Pearl Red), Vintage Ink Sprays (Baby Pink, 
Pale Fuschia and Glossy Ink Spray (Light Violet, Bubblegum Pink, Snow White) 
mixed in with water to create a watercolor effect and my good old heat gun 
to dry it all up between layers. I then added a little stamping with black archival ink.


My Hardboard Hearts were covered with a thick coat of Crackle Paint
followed by Vintage Paint (Pastel Violet, Violet) and Velvet Paste (Amethyst).


I dabbed some Silver Stencil Paste on the complete canvas and decorations
to give it a little shimmer.  I then sprayed some liquid adhesive before
sprinkling on lots of micro-beads and sequins.


I am quite thrilled by how it all turned out
and I hope you enjoy it too.
Love and hearts are always a winning combination for any project!
