Tutorial for a Mixed Media Background



Hi guys,
Here is a quick how-to for a mixed media background using Dylusions Spray (i used Bubblegum pink) and a texture paste, Water colour cardstock (all available from https://www.shopandcrop.com.au/ )plus a stencil that i designed and cut on my Silhouette.

Step 1
Stencil your background using texture paste and dry with a heat tool. Once dry unscrew cap from Spray and drip onto the area where you have stencilled.

Steep 2 Spray the ink you have dripped onto the page with water lightly and tilt
 to move ink around until you are happy with how it looks.  Mop up puddles with a baby wipe (you will use this wipe again later) Now dry completely with your heat tool.

Step 3
Flick some White Picket Fence Dylusions spray onto the page and again dry completely

Step 4.
Remember the baby wipe you set aside?? the one with pink ink on it? Its time to use that.

Cut 8 rough flower shapes that are similar sizes from the baby wipe ( it doesn't matter if its still damp) Stack on top of each other and join together with a brad through the centre. Once joined dry with a heat tool, get close to flower and heat, it will start to shrivel up  (not to close that it burns though!) 

Step 5
Paint the Dusty Attic flourishes with white paint. Arrange around a 4 inch  Photograph and then embelish with the flower you made plus any other embellishments you like. Stick it all down once you are happy with it.

  5. Simply stunning – I so love your background. Many thanks for sharing with us on White … with 1.

    I am not sure if it is just my settings but the wording on your blog doesn't appear to be aligned and is incredibly difficult to read.
