Bright and colorful – Mixed media panel by Pascale B.

I added a design with a stencil with black gesso. When it was dry, I painted the background with liquid acrylic paints to match the photo’s colors. I removed unwanted splatters and brush marks with white impasto.

Next, I added on the edges of the area I’d painted rub-ons. I mainly chose splatters, text, and palettes in the same colors as the paints from the “6×8 Spectrum Gardenia Extra Rub-On Transfers” and “Essential Text blend Rub-On Transfers” in Salsa, Eggplant, and Fern colors.

When happy with the result, I selected some “Spectrum Gardenia Filmstrip” to add under the photo. I disposed them to kind of frame the photo. Next, I selected some tickets and stamps from the Spectrum Gardenia “General” and “Essential” Laser Cut Elements in various colors and designs. I arranged them at opposite corners. In the same corners, I added Kismet Wildflowers along with Spectrum Gardenia “Floral” and “Leaves” Laser Cut Elements.

 I made another cluster with the same elements on the opposite side of the main composition.

To finish, I added different colors of glitter to match the overall tones.
