Create a background with Sprays and Magicals for a Mixed media panel with Marina Ignatova

Hello dear friends!

It’s Marina Ignatova here with my new project and video tutorial!

Are you loving Lindy’s sprays to use in your projects? I think this is an amazing universal tool with which you can create a background and paint the decor. Today I’d like to share with you how to use sprays to make a stunning colorful panel.

Here is my process video – hoping you’ll enjoy it!

Basic Process

1. Prime the wooden base with a white gesso
2. Apply here and there white crackle paste
3. Mix art stones of various sizes with black gesso and soft gloss gel
4. Apply to the bottom of the base
5. Use a sponge, black and white gesso to make a gradient transition
6. Sprinkle with Glory of the Seas Gold Shimmer Spray, Opal Sea Oats Shimmer Spray, Bling-y Blonde Shimmer Spray, Autumn Maple Crimson Shimmer Spray, Magnolia Magenta Gold Shimmer Spray, Prima Donna Purple Shimmer Spray
7. Dry and repeat to make the colors more vibrant
8. When dry, mix an texture paste with magicals, Autumn Maple Crimson Magical Shaker and Yodeling Yellow Magical Shaker, so you’ll get 2 kinds of mixture
9. Apply those colored pastes through the stencil
10. Then stamp the surface to add more interest
11. To complicate the background, apply some graphite texture paste through a stencil. In some places, apply it simply with a palette knife
12. Add splatters. I add Autumn Maple Crimson Shimmer Spray, Magnolia Magenta Gold Shimmer Spray, Prima Donna Purple Shimmer Spray
13. Build up the composition and glue on all the embellishments
14. At the final stap, add toppings and sparkles here and there, because the beauty lies in the details.
