Lesson 4: Mixed Media Background

Hello!

Have you ever been stuck with supplies you dońt remember why you bought for? Well I have, and gesso (black and white) has been on my to use list for a while. I don't think of myself as a Mixed Media enthusiast but I have decided to give using gesso a try.

For this card I used a gessoed card stock panel die cut with typographical dies randomly arranged. The technique shown in class called for the use of a brayer, sadly mine was nowhere to be found there fore I used a plastic cylinder to add the acrylic paint ( to tell you the truth I was not completely pleased with the look, but is ok)

I used more embossing powder to cover some of the “unsightly “ parts and skipped the jute. I ended up adding this panel to a second gessoed piece this time around a black one.

I need more practice creating the rusted metal look, but this is certainly not my last try. Have you given this technique a try? If so, please share your thoughts with me.

Have a wonderful day!

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop! Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
