In My Heart-A mixed media layout

Hi everyone
I want to share with you a layout that I have made for Art and Soul studio's February mood board challenge.

This month's mood board is so beautiful and feminine. I hope you will take part in this month's mood board challenge.

Join Art and Soul studio's Soul sisters Facebook group for monthly challenges and chance to win cool prizes.

Let's start our project:

I primed a 12 x12 inches stretched canvas with white gesso. Applied white modeling paste through a stencil.

After drying the modeling paste, I applied Lindy Stamp Gang magicals and activated them with water.

 While the magicals were drying, I fussy cut alot of flowers and leaves from scrapbook paper.
Next I glued the flowers and other embellishments around my focal image.
I finished the layout by adding a bit of background stamping, glitter and art stones.

That's all for now
I hope you liked this layout.

Thank you for visiting
Take care and keep crafting.

Adventure Awaits-A mixed media journal spread

Hi everyone,

Sharing with you a mixed media journal spread that I made for Art and Soul studio's blog.

Let's start our journal spread.

This is my small Dylusions journal. I primed the pages with white gesso. Glued few pieces of washi tape and book paper.

Next I applied white modeling paste through a stencil. I wanted texture in the middle part of my journal. I also applied White crackle paste with palette knife in some areas. 

When the modeling paste was dry, I colored the pages with acrylic paints. I used little bit of water to help the paint drip and move.

After that, I did background stamping with Archival inks.

Glued my embellishments, focal image and chipboard quote with gel medium. Added few paint splatters and mega art stones.

I hope you liked it

'Ocean Vibes' by Elisa Ablett - Mixed Media Scrapbooking

Hi Soul Sisters,

My turn up on the Art and Soul blog today with a mixed media layout featuring the awesome Prima St Tropez Collection and Embellishments, Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and Marabu Art Sprays available in store today.

This is a gorgeous paper collection full of rich blues, bronzes and wood grain plus all the embellishments to match including metal, stickers, tags and crystals.

I wanted to create an ocean themed background as well so I started out with a lovely rich blue Marabu Art Spray. I sprayed water onto my page first on the left and right hand side of my page then I spray the blue Marabu Art Spray and tilted my page to let the drips go to the middle.

Next step add a few sprays of the Gold Marabu Art Spray plus the copper and blue Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays over the top of your blue background plus add splatters to your page.

Next step spray a small amount of the gold Marabu Art Spray onto your craft mat and using the lid as a stamp, stamp small circles onto your layout. You can do the same with the blue spray as well.

Using an offcut of mixed media cardstock Spray the blue as a base colour then spray your copper and gold sprays over the top. This will give your paper a lovely metallic sheen.

Using a bubble diecut - Texture Bubbles Kaisercraft Die cut your bubbles from the metallic paper.

Using your Art C Texture Pebbles, spray them with your Gold and Copper Sprays and a touch of the blue spray. Let dry and then when time glue them to your page using gel medium or a glue that drys clear.

Add some more texture to your page by adding some Marabu Acyrl Mousse- Carribean using a palette knife and a stencil of your choice. 

Time to start adding some of your elements once your Mousse has dried on the page!

Glue your pebbles and thread onto your page, i used gel medium that dries clear.

Stick down your paper elements layering on top of each other including the bubble die cut.

A few last steps -

Stick down your layers starting with the paper strips, Acetate film strip, bubble die cut, then glue your coloured Art Stones and thread together ( you can use gel medium or a heavy glue that dries clear), your frames and then your photo. Add your finishing touches, metal charms, title and glitter crystals and you have finished!

Here are some close ups of the finer details...

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Hope you have enjoyed seeing how my layout came together.
