Mixed Media Cards by Dutt Preety (Challenge Inspiration)

Hi friends :)

Good Morning !

Preeti Datta (aka Dutt Preety) here.

Today, I'd like to share Two Mixed Media Cards.

These are my inspiration for the March Challenge.

I was inspired by the colors in the moodboard & I've added feathers as well as die cut leaves on my cards.

We hope you'll join the challenge as there are fabulous prizes on offer.

All the details about the challenge can be found HERE.

Let’s get started.

Mixed Media Cards

Card 1- Inspire

Card 2- Create

Process:

Step 1: Cut pattern papers from 7 Dots Studio's Paint Chips collection, applied clear gesso to them to prepare them for mixed media work. Then applied modelling paste through a 13 arts stencil on the card panels & while the paste was still wet, sprinkled on white embossing powder & heat embossed it.

Step 2: Did background stamping with Aall & Create stamps using versamark watermark ink & then sprinkled on blue embossing powder & heat embossed the stamped images.

Step 3: Added color to the background using Lindy's Gang Sprays & Squirts.

Step 4: Stamped the butterfly & dragon fly images, watercolored them using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and fussy cut them

Step 5: Collected all the elements for layering including diecut leaves, fussy cut images, gauze & feathers. Adhered them using matte gel.

Step 6: Adhered art stones, mini beads & glitter around the main composition using matte gel. Added Tim Holtz stickers as the sentiments & created white splatter using watered down white gesso.

Step 7: In the end, foam mounted the panels on black mats & then adhered these to white card bases.

Herron Silhouette..... by Cindy Porter

Hi everyone, Cindy here to share with you my latest painting.... a Herron Silhouette

Normally, I would have a process video to share with you all... however, I as I have mentioned in my previous posts I have fractured my ankle and can't sit under my desk and film at the moment... so instead again I have a photo step by step...

I began by painting the watercolour paper with water...

Using a mixer of reds, orange and yellow, I paint the top two thirds of the page.

I continue until it resembles a sunset...

I then paint the remaining third to resemble water...

I continue adding details to the water with more layers of watercolour...

Next I add some clouds to the sky...

more clouds

I add more depth to the clouds

I add more depth to the water...

Time to sketch out my Herron Silhouette...

Then paint in the silhouette...

Add details to the silhouette and add some reeds to finish it off...

Products used:

Aqufine Water Colour Pad

Prima Watercolour Confections Tin = Odyssey

hope you enjoyed seeing my process,

till next time

Happy Creating,
