Loving Mixed Media

I am LOVING Mixed Media

A look at how a mixed media panel comes together.

Here's the final product

It all started with a dictionary page that I painted over with a matte white gesso. I actually thought ahead and let it dry overnight.

I embossed my Pleasant Poppies image using Versamark and black detailing powder

I colored using the marker layering technique-first I used Riding Hood Red and Old Olive with some Daffodil Delight in the centers

Next layer was Real Red and Always Artichoke

 +

I used a Sahara Sand marker to shade along the edges

 

 

 

 

 

I painted on some more Gesso around my flowers which pulled in some of the red into the bg (this was a happy accident...I thought I could cover over the red, but the more I tried the more it spread so I ended up going with it and pulling some out in other areas of the panel as well!)

 

I cut a post it note mask and used some blue reinkers and water in my mister

I sponged some Island Indigo around the edges as well. I had to cut another piece of black framing as I'd messed up the edges of the first. I scored a Crumb Cake base and embossed my sentiment using Versamark and black ep. I used the layout from susanbri's pretty card

I used my Sahara Sand marker again to add the shading around the flowers again

Here's another look at the final product
