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.

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
