Hi beautiful Lindy’s friends!
Svetlana here on the Lindy’s blog today to show you the process of creating 5 mixed-media backgrounds using Lindy’s Magicals. I suppose that if you create some backgrounds beforehand it will be very easy for you to create a tag or a card on this background any moment you need it.
Process video so you can watch and create your own backgrounds.
Basic Process
- Emboss a piece of watercolor paper (I have pieces 9×15 cm) with the embossing folder
- Cover some top areas with white or transparente wax
- Sprinkle some magical over it (I used Gag Me with a Spoon Gray)
- Sprinkle with some water and let it dry.
Basic Process
- Emboss a piece of watercolor paper (I have pieces 9×15 cm) with the embossing folder
- Mix some white or transparent wax with some magical (here I used Bayou Boogie Gold)
- Apply this mixture on the surface here and there so to give some extra tone to the paper
- Sprinkle some magical over it (I used Bayou Boogie Gold)
- Sprinkle with some water and let it dry.
Basic Process
- Emboss a piece of dark cardstock paper (I have pieces 9×15 cm) with the embossing folder
- Sprinkle some magical over it (I used Lara’s Wild Malve)
- Sprinkle with some water and let it dry
- Sprinkle some magical over it (I used Glitzy Magicals)
- Sprinkle with some water and let it dry.
Basic Process
- Apply some transparent gesso in some places of the watercolor paper. It protects paper from magical soaking
- Sprinkle some magical over it (I used Mountain Meadows Flat Magical Set)
- Sprinkle with some water and let it dry
- Mix the same color with white crackle paste and apply it through the stencil
Basic Process
- Mix some magical (Wild Rose Rouge) with glossy gel
- Apply it through the stencil
- While it is wet sprinkle with glitter
- Let it dry
- Sprinkle some gold magical (Glitzy Magicals), wet with water and let it dry.
I couldn’t help making something with my backgrounds so I took one background, cut it in a shape of a tag, glued it on a thick piece of cardboard, added a piece of lace, two paper flowers, a picture, and some glitter. And voila my tag is ready.
