Vintage Inspired Mixed Media Layout "Prince" by Dutt Preety

Hi friends :) 
Good Morning!

I'm very happy & thankful to be on the Art & Soul Studio blog today. 
This is my first DT project for Art & Soul Studio, so I hope you'll enjoy it! 
I have created a Vintage Inspired Mixed Media Layout- "Prince" along with a pictorial. 

Vintage Inspired Mixed Media Layout- Prince


Here are some close-up photos of the layout:












Pictorial:

Step 1: Applied clear gesso to a 12 by 12 piece of heavy white cardstock (to prep it for mixed media), then mixed Dark Chocolate Impasto Paint with Modelling Paste to create a dark texture paste, applied it through one of the stencils from Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set #27. Then added color to the background using various shades of blue & brown sprays by Lindys Gang. 

Step 2: Did background stencilling by sponging on distress inks through a couple of stencils from the Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set #27

Step 3: To create DIY vintage looking papers (for the photo mats), I used book pages, scrunched them up to create creases, then dyed them with a solution of water mixed with 1 packet of instant coffee & a few drops of distress ink reinkers. Added splashes of more intense color in some spots to create a worn out, old look. Let these air dry. 

Step 4: Did background stamping using archival & distress inks and texture as well as script stamps 

Step 5: Chose the focal element (a vintage photo) from Tim Holtz Found Relatives Cards, punched it out with a circle punch. Collected all the elements for layering, including twine, burlap, corrugated cardboard, DIY vintage papers, cheese cloth, chippies, gems, crochet lace and thread. Deckled & distressed the edges of all the papers & adhered everything down to create a visually pleasing composition. Used Tacky glue to stick the elements & used pieces of cardboard as well as foam tape between some of the layers, to create added dimension

Step 6: In the end, created ink splatter using watered down distress inks, added some quotes using stickers, added a bit of shine to the project using Finnabair's waxes and drew on a few scribbly borders for the sentiments.

  1. This is wonderful. Your instructions make me think I really can and want to use modeling paste. Your choices are subtle and therefore spectacular. Just wondering about the prince word cut - was that a chipboard piece, or was it cut out by you using a font and a cutting system, etc.?
