Mixed Media Wooden Plate Tutorial with Svetlana

Hi beautiful Lindy’s friends!

Svetlana here on the Lindy’s blog today to show you the process of creating a wooden mixed-media plate. Lately, we visited our parents in their country house. I saw a birch stump and asked my husband to cut a round piece of it, I then had a beautiful wooden slice to create on. He attached a chain with furniture nails to the backside. So I decided to make a key hanger with a rustic mood for our house.

Basic Process

Cover the plate with transparent gesso
Cover the center of it with white gesso
Take your favorite text stamp and stamp all the background with embossing ink
Sprinkle Chrome Doesn’t Pay Chunky EP all over it and heat.
Mix white texture paste with Dark chocolate from Sweet Treats Shimmer Magical and apply through the flower stencil
After drying mix a little of Stormy Sky from Mountain Meadows with some water
Apply it over the bottom side of the plate
To intensify the color add some more Stormy Sky
Sprinkle Blazing Sun from Glitz Spritz SET to the upper part of the plate

To highlight the flower pattern use Glitzy Gold and Snazzy Sparkle from Glitzy Magicals, mixing them with a little water
Prepare some elements: dye cloth petals and leaves with Stormy Sky from Mountain Meadows and Clam Bake Beige Shimmer Spray
Stamp some paper flowers with clear embossing ink and apply MAGIC Moon Pearls EP over it
Sprinkle Glory of the Seas Gold Shimmer Spray and Steel Shimmer from Glitz Spritz SET
Dye clay elements with Stormy Sky from Mountain Meadows

Cover paper leaves with Chalk It Up Chunky EP, Lapis Lazuli Blue Gold EP
Collect all the elements together, add some flowers, glitter and beads.
Add some color to clay elements and flowers with Glitzy Gold and Snazzy Sparkle from Glitzy Magicals
Add some stamping with black archival ink here and there
Sprinkle with some white acrylic paint all over the plate
