Moments Together

Hello all, today I'm sharing a fun spring page using Kaleidascope papers and lots of mixed media techniques. I gave the background a light coat of gesso then misted the page in Heidi Swapps Color Shine in Chatreuse, Primrose, White & Geargia Peach. These mists are so vibrant and pair perfectly with the colorful papers in this collection. I also added Perfect Pearls and Goosebumps to the background.  The stenciled the chevron design in texture paste and used black gesso to add to circle stenciling.




The chrysanthemums are Dusty Attic chippy painted in Timmy Distress paint in Broken China and accented in Viva Inka Gold rub. The torn book page was painted with Luminarte Silks and stamped.


Well thanks for having a peek! This was a fun page to create of my little darlings.  Have a beautiful day!

Love You Maddox

Hello everyone! So today I'm posting a fun LO for the Bohemian Spring sketch challenge at Swirlydoos. The papers here are Authentique and Kaisercraft Kaleidoscope I used several mixed mediums on the page and NO Flowers! I think any page could benefit from blooms so it was a challenge leaving them off here.


Here's the sketch from Swirlydoos:


And a few close ups. 



I painted the metal pieces with Ranger Patinas. I gave everything a coat of gesso and dabbed with Tim Holtz distress dabber paints and misted with Heidi Swapps color shine. 


I used texture paste to
create the dart board stencil and used more of the dabbing paint in weathered wood and broken china. Between the layers are torn cardboard, drywall tape, Prima wood doors and washi tape. Well it was lots of fun creating this grungy LO and getting my hands covered in "stuff!" Thanks for stopping by {{Hugs}} Misha!
