Hello Sweeties!
Today I’m up on Lindy’s Gang blog with a Xmas mixed media panel. I worked with another photo from the talented Christina Fisher. On this one, you can read “Don’t worry kids … He will certainly come this year.”
First, I glued different kinds of paper with soft gel. Next, I used white gesso to blend them together. Finally, I added two designs with two stencils and two pastes: Paper paste and White Crackle paste.
While the crackle paste was drying, I colored different leaves die-cut in watercolor paper. I colored the leaves with Long John’s Silver and the pine branches with Long John’s Silver and Stormy Sky.
I colored the berry branches with Rizzo’s Rowdy Red, but I wasn’t really happy with the result. I used my glue gun to make 3D berries. While the glue was still hot, I covered it with Candy Cane Red Gold EP. I waited until the glue was cold before melting the embossing powder.
I primed the chipboards with white gesso. I colored them with Sandra Dee Sepia with the minimum of water as I wanted them to be dark. I embossed the flowers with Lapis Lazuli Blue Gold and added some waxes as well on the leaves.
In the meantime, the crackles have had time to appear. I colored the background with Long John’s Silver, Silhouette Silver, Stormy Sky, and Sandra Dee Sepia. When everything was completely dry, I dry brushed lightly some white gesso to highlight the designs.
After gluing everything with a 3D gel, I finished the composition with glitters.
I hope you will enjoy the video:
