This Makes Me Smile

Hello all! I've been off my blog for a little bit and my projects are piling up! So here's a final one using Kaisercraft's Kaleidascope collection. Lots of fun fresh spring colors here using many mixed medium techniques.

So I just loved mixing black and white with all these bright floral patterns in this paper line collection . I gave the base sheet a coat of clear gesso and misted away. The photos never show how much shimmer these Heidi Swapp & Lindys Mists really shine on the page. Lots of texture layers going on here with the cardboard, drywall tape & threading.

In between the layers are all these colorful prima & Petaloo blooms. The wooden buttons, flowers & resin piece are all Prima dabbed with just a little Viva Inka Gold for shine. The floral stenciling is in a super heavy gesso and checked Prima stencil is formed in a Liquitex heavy body black acrylic.

And how cute are these Prima fountains? This one came colored white so I dabbed some Ranger Patinas on it bring out all the gold tones on my page. Thanks for having a peek!! Misha
