Steampunk Girl – Mixed media Layout by Pascale B.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on 49 and Market with a mixed media layout.

First, I’ve glued my Paper 4 from the Color Switch Toast collection to a cardboard as the composition will be heavy. I primed the background with clear gesso.

I primed all the resin elements with clear gesso. I painted the gears with a dark brown paint, then added some copper wax. I used only waxes for the feathers: first Charcoal a grey-blue matte wax, then a black one to darken the color, and finally the copper.
I colored the Celery Wildflowers with brown inks to obtain a color more suitable for my composition.

I selected a few Frames to add under my photo. Then I decided to add a white touch to the composition. I chose some cards from the Envelope Bits set from the Color Swatch Toast collection.

I began the composition with the biggest elements: the gears and the feathers. Then I added the photo with the frames. I continued with the flowers. When happy with the result, I added a few Acetate Leaves and a couple of butterflies.

To finish, I added some glitter.

See you soon!
