Today is a special day since it's a: Friday (yay!!!) and b: I'm this month's guest DT over at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog. A new challenge is posted today. It is always anything goes, so just create and participate!!!
I made a super fun project for the occasion, mixing some of my favorite techniques.
I started with a frame and used the backing as my base, adding a book page covered with white gesso. Stamped some silhouette stamps from Darkroom Door.
The background is then painted with watercolors with a layer of stenciled distress oxide speckled egg (such an awesome color!). The bird is from a napkin and I decided to put him on a branch with flowers made out of home made air dry clay. That is such a fun medium!!! I long to have some more time to play with it! :)
The air dry clay is painted with watercolors for a light look. Tried with acrylics on a flower first, but it got too heavy looking for the rest of the project so watercolors it is.
I added a friendship sentiment, stamped butterflies, a bit of shadings and some splashes of white acrylic paints and called it a day. So much fun to do, and I really like the result.
I've had a busy time lately and not so much time to create. I mostly work in my private journal when at it, but I hope to be back soon again. Until then stay safe and thanks for stopping by!
