"Anything Mixed Media Goes"
We have opportunities to be a Guest Designer for all our winners.
I have created an ever lasting Springtime bouquet on an 8" (20cm) canvas this month. It was a birthday present for a lovely family member.
I made an assortment of resin flowers from the collection of moulds I have. The butterflies are from Prima's Mecha Moth mould.
I painted the flowers and butterflies with Gansai Tambi Pearl watercolours. I blended the pink and blue to create the gorgeous purple.
I die cut some leaves from card and layered them up with Soft Matt Gel so I had two rigid leaves. I painted them with the Gansai Tambi watercolours too.
I started building the bouquet by fixing the two leaves to the canvas with Heavy Body Gel and building up the flower and butterfly arrangement from there with more gel.
Now it's your turn to have fun and create your mixed media projects. You can enter our challenge as many times as you like. A full list of the rules is on the challenge blog.
