MERMAID'S WORLD - Altered Mixed media work on Old Note book.

Hello Crafty peeps,

  Roshini here today with you to share one more mixed media project. This time my take on Mixed Media is to alter an old note book.

Please have a look at the pictures.

We usually use chalk paints to revamp our furniture or old decor items to add a new look. 
My theory was same, but I used chalk paints to revamp my old note/journal book. This can be framed or just hung on the wall.

I have added sea shells, mini texture stones and Hearty Melange.... etc. to give it an under sea feel.

I have added textures with gauze cloth and twine, used silicon glue to stick them to the base.

 The embossed look on the 3D chipboard frame is due to the details added with ceramic cone and dotties.

There are endless possibilities with chalk paints. They are not just limited to painting on wood and bottles or home decor. They are so versatile and can also be used for mixed media projects too.

 You just have to dilute the chalk paint a little with water to make
 it flow like other paints and sprays.

Supplies Used:

Sailing Sky

Wild moss

charisma

golden hearts

Silicon glue 

sea shells

mixed media on burlap canvas

Hello My Dear Sweet Crafters,

                Roshini here today to inspire you with one more project, I am using the new burlap canvas 8x8 inches, which I transformed into a mixed media project using very limited supplies from Itsy Bitsy store.

Have a look at the pics and then I will explain you how to make it in few simple steps.

I have used a reverse side of mini canvas bought from store.

The chipboard feathers hanging below are from the dream catchers chipboard.

    Bubble stencil on the canvas for texture and thin cut doily die, and spiral rose die to make burlap flowers.

I hope you liked it. If so, please have look at the steps below to know how to make it.

1. color the burlap with Little Birdie black chalk paint.
2. Add some texture with bubble stencil on the canvas.
3. make burlap roses using thin cut die from store.
4. stick the mini canvas as shown in the pic above and arrange the flowers, chipboard shapes, butterfly and embellishments.
5. Apply 2 coats of black chalk paint, making sure you cover all the elements glued.
6. Once everything is dry, start spraying color splash sprays - Bubble gum pink and Orange, randomly .... make sure to cover the flowers too.
7. Heat dry the canvas and start dry brushing with feather light strokes using the Monte Marte metallic colors to highlight the elements and texture.
