Well I have tried my hand again at a Mixed Media Project for the
Mixed Media Color Challenge #9.
I was quite pleased and surprised with how this actually came out. It will be a gift to my newly engaged daughter!
I found this video on YouTube by
Gabrielle Pollacco. She makes Mixed Media look so easy. Quite Inspiring to say the least!
Instead of using a canvas I painted some heavy chipboard white as my base, as I knew I wanted to place this creation in a shadow box. I found some gorgeous paper in my stash, I think it is by K and Company. And folded it back and forth scoring along the way to make creases for the dress.
The dress is trimmed in a Tim Holtz rosette lacy ribbon. A Prima Pink rose with added pearl accents. Lace ribbon topped with a strip of pearls. A red painted wooden double heart, with an "I Do" rub-on sentiment.
A pink rhinestone flourish embellishment and a decoupaged dictionary page with object d'art with another rub-on of wedding rings. The waist of the dress is trimmed in ribbon and flowers.
I used several stamps from
Gina K Designs; Butterfly,
Springtime Silhouettes, Pocket Watch,
Time Musical Notes
, Vintage Borders. Another rub-on sentiment:
Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of, His And Mine Are The Same.
Little pink seed beads were glued to a flourish representing movement, at the bodice of the dress, which also has a string of pearls and a feather as accents. I actually love the look of the feather, it's kind of fun and fabulous! :)
This was an absolute JOY to create. I am trying to let go of my fear of Mixed Media. Lots of helpful YouTube Videos and lots of inspiration over at
Mixed Media. Check them out, you'll be glad you did!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Remember.....be crafty!
Enjoy~~
