Hello everyone . I really can't believe it is the end of September and I am sadly posting my last post as being leading lady for winnie and walter blog . I enjoyed being with you every week for this whole month , which encouraged me to create these projects . Thank you Shay for this great opportunity to show how much I love winnie and walter products. And thank you all who read my post and left me a kind comments.


In today post I would like to share with you two simple mixed media creation i made using some winnie and walter product .I was and still amazed by how we can mix colors and some of the materials we had to get an amazing creation . Where is the magic and how these professional mixed media maker are able to mix these unrelated things to have these wow projects . As I am still in the learning stage so I made what I can call it a " CAS mixed media creation " so simple and clean project using some handy materials. For first one , I clear C A S mixed media tag , and it turned out
so pretty .
 

Here is some tips how I made this tag ..

* I used a heavy kraft tag to be able to hold the fabric above.

** I coated the kraft with double layer of white gesso, then I glued the fabric ( it was from old table runner ) . Then I added extra generous amounts of the gesso over the fabric.

 

*** I used a spray colors ( pink, purple, turquoise and yellow) over the fabric and I spray over them to get blended, then I used the brush because its easier to blend for a specific areas.

**** I used w& w creative screening Scenery: Big Bang Circle Creative Screening with silver glitter embossing past to add these effect over the background.

*****I die cut this heart from vellum using w&w True Dotty Heart Cutaways , and I stamped the flowers and leaves with some layering ink using w&w In Bloom Ashlee's Rosie Posies with Lydia Evans stamp set and w& w In Bloom: Ashlee's Rosie Posies with Lydia Evans Cutaways . I tried to arrange the flower like a cascade of falling flowers and leaves .

 

*****I like this sentiment from the same stamp set and there matching die cut . So I added to the tag. I didn't want to add more embellishments or dimensions so I left simple and clean like this . Here is the link for my youtube video https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=uGjMW1qDJ2c or you can watch it here:


For my second project. It's kind of CAS mixed media card. In this card I used mainly the stencil to create this back ground .after mixing some colors and adding few materials it turned out to this gorgeous card.

   

* I used a heavy water color paper and I double coated it with gesso .

** I used white texture embossing past over the w & w creative screening Scenery: The Leaf Effect Creative Screening and I emboss the background particularly. Then used a thin film of gold glitter embossing past in some area.

 

*** I used some of lindy's gang magical powder green, blue, brown red, and black Over this leafy background.

**** some extra tips I learned for applying the pigmented powder , we should spray the paper with a little water before adding the powder . When we used any colored powder , we should use a clean dry brushes and use a separate brush with every color to avoid contamination of the colors.

   

***** I die cut the w&w In a Word: Friend Cutaway with black card stock and I mounted it over the same die cut using white card stock.

****** I placed a gold thread in the back and added a leave from the flower that I used to photograph my cards . Then I used gliding flacks in the middle of friend die cut.

   
******* I added some metallic copper gems .then I distress the edges and I placed it over a copper distressed paper then I mounted them all over a back heavy card stock. I finished my project today. I hope you like them and get inspired to try some of mixed media techniques.

  5. I love Mixed Media art, that is what got me interested in papercrafting/cardmaking originally. For me the thrill and magic of it is that I can use literally anything that looks interesting to start a project and then just let it build from. Some projects end up completely different from what I originally planned but sometimes those are the best ones lol. Thank you for the great projects this month and all the inspiration!
