Mixed Media Altered Frame

Hello again, everyone.............. This is Suzna here. 
I'm excited to share with you a mixed media frame, I made using the DMC new product beautiful oval resin frame. I love love this frame. I cant express my feeling here, Its beautiful and low coast, dont miss to buy this beautiful frame.


 All the product details are in end of this post. So keep finding them and make your own creation.

So lets discuss about how i made this ..........Okay


As usual i start with black gesso, before going any metallic paints use black gesso (alteration art). Thats give you awesome effect. Here i did 3 to 4 layer coloring (very thin coloring layers )


These are the first layer metallic paints


You can see green effect on my frame


Purple(Dark velvet) effect on my frame


2nd layer Metallic wax: Just random coloring on my frame


See my frame, how its look like. This is okay, but i want something more.  So i decided to add patina effect paints.
  

In between i am designing inside decoration on frame. So i took canvas sheet, cut it as oval. Glue down on 1mm chipboard. And again cut it as oval. Check the below images.






Adding metal charms : Prima Marketing-Finnabair Mechanicals Metal Embellishments



Theses are the 3rd layer paints.



Inside of frame i use Lindy's Spray. Or instead of canvas coloring use mixed media design papers.


Again and again decorating :-) with DMC mixed size pearl beads. Use glossy gel paste for perfect transparent glue.
  


Finally adding few words from Tim Holtz word stickers
I am filling empty space or use any fussy cut of your favorite image


And Finally i altered this beautiful frame.
 
  

I was inspired Finnabair mixed media projects :-)
I hope you enjoyed my project today
hugs

Mixed Media Layout- Enjoy Today (with Step-by-Step Pictorial)

Hi folks!
Good Morning :)

For today's post, I've shared a Mixed Media Layout titled "Enjoy Today" and there is a Step-by-Step Pictorial as well :) The inspiration for the layout came from a photo of coffee, I simply love coffee, so I knew I had to create a layout around it. For me, coffee time is "me" time. I can sit, relax, be quiet for 5 minutes, sip my beverage, think & forget about other things. I wanted to remind myself that it is important to delight in the little things in life that give us joy & enjoy them today, to "live in the moment".

So let's get started :)

Mixed Media Layout- Enjoy Today


Here Are the Close-up Photos (to Show the Details):





















Step-by-Step Pictorial:
(All the products used are linked to the Crafters Corner Store at the bottom of the post, if you wish to explore/shop)

1. On a sheet of  Dress My Craft's 12 by 12 sized Floral Oriental Collection White Cardstock, first applied white gesso to prep the page for mediums. Then I did ink smooshing to add color, by using different mediums. I used distress inks, Lindys Sprays and Zig Markers here. This card stock is meant for flower making so it takes water and mediums very well. I was happy that it did not warp at all. 


2. Created photo mats using papers from Dress My Craft's Dots n Stripes Paper Pack, distressed their edges and darkened them with distress ink to give better definition 

3. This is how the background looks after color is added, I also created a lot of ink splatters using a small sized brush. (Tip: Always keep tissues ready while doing any mixed media work, to quickly dab away excess color or errant drops)


4. Adhered the mats to the photo and created dimension between some of the layers by using 3d foam tape 


5. Added background stenciling using Tim Holtz stencils and distress ink 


6. Added vintage design washi tapes to the layout for visual interest


7. Did background stamping with multiple stamps using 3 shades of archival inks (browns and black)


8. To add more details to the layout, I used Tim Holtz rub ons, these are a great way to add quotes/text to difficult to reach spots, where stamping isn't possible. It is very simple to use them, just peel the backing paper, rub over the desired quote with the ice cream stick, a few times, putting a lot of pressure and poof, the quote transfers like magic! 


9. Heat embossed Dusty Attic Chipboards for the titles. (Heat embossing chipboards gives them added dimension and shine)


10. In the end, added Tim Holtz chit chat stickers, a little thread for texture and embellished the project with Dress My Craft Little Hearts and Sequins (used glossy accents to stick them)
