Having Fun with Mixed Media!!

Hi there! 

Tania here today to share a couple of Mixed Media Projects using some yummy Mixed Media Products I received in my DT kit!! How much fun is Mixed Media, getting all messy and trying out new ways to use awesome products.....LOVE IT!

The first project is a layout.  I started by adding the Kaiser Brick Template Pattern to the background page. Then came the fun part adding my colours :) firstly I randomly sprinkled some Lindy's Stamp Gang Tainted Love Teal Magical's over the page and activated it with some spritzes of water until I was happy. Next I used Colour Blast Lipstick Shimmer Cube and randomly applied it with a brush adding more water as I went to spread across the page! I then used the Kaiser Charcol Mist and randomly flicked it across the page until I was happy with it!

I then finished of the page by adding my papers and embellishments from my stash!  I also painted some of my flowers with the Lipstick Shimmer Cube, perfect way to change the colour if needed!

I used a chipboard Title from the Dusty Attic Mini Caption #2 and sprayed it with the Kaiser mist!

Products used available in the store.

Some close ups!

Next up is a mini canvas I created using more of the yummy products from my DT Kit.  I started this canvas by adding and layering up lots of ripped pieces of printed tissue paper!  Once I was happy with it and it was dry I used the Gears from this Kaiser 12 x 12 Template below and applied it to the top left and bottom right of the canvas.  I added the Lindy's stamp gang Magical's randomly until happy with the amount and activate with water, and did the same with the Lip Stick Colour Blast Shimmer Cube.  Next I used the Classic Cherry Enamel Accents also from my DT kit and freehand drew a circle with it onto the centre of the canvas! Flicked some Kaiser Charcol Mist onto the background and then finished of the canvas with a couple of scrap papers and flowers from my stash!

Well that's my shares for today......I hope I have inspired you all to drag out those mixed media products or jump over to the store here and get yourself a little stash, you won't be disappointed MIXED MEDIA is so much fun.... 

Until next time, thanks for stopping by, Tania xx

Dream & Soon to be Mummy

Hello everyone, well here we are nearly to the end of June and half a year just about gone.  My first layout was for the challenge this month and as I had a male layout I chose to use a Die Cut from my Silhouette Machine.

I first applied a thin layer of white gesso to the background of the Kaisercraft Indigo Skies PP, I then sprayed lightly over it with mist , machined stitched the edges of the page and used a star stencil with Faber Castell Whipped Spackle coloured with Mica Powder.

 

 

 

 I matted my larger photo to set behind the cut file and I cut two identical photos in a smaller size for added interest on the bottom of the page.  I punched some tiny stars in pink to splatter them across the layout.  For a bit of dimension I used mounting tape and dots to lift the camera and journaling strips.

Here's the challenge sketch at Shop and Crop Scrapbooking .

Now for my second layout today.  

I chose Pink Paislee Oh My Heart PP and stickers for this bright layout. 

I chose white cardstock for the background, added a border of the Pink Paislee PP's and then applied Ranger Distress Oxide Ink  through a circle stencil to mimic the circles on the paper.  I thought my photo and elements would look good with a pop of black so matted most things with black cardstock.  One of the papers called for fussy cutting so my cluster has some pieces I cut from that paper.  I backed the beautiful bronze embellishments with black and finished the layout with a few sequins.  The title is made of alphas from my stash.

 

 

 

 

You may have noticed some blurring on my painted circles (I made an error trying to spray with water and it ran), so I suggest if you want nice crisp images with Distress Oxide inks that you seal them with a fixer or hairspray so they don't react with water.
