You are Art - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media panel featuring a photo from @ArtHouseWhimsy from the A kind of Christmas set.

I primed the canvas board with white gesso before adding a design using paper paste. I also added some paper paste to the edges. When dry, I covered the design with clear crackle paste. The result is a barely visible and subtle design that reminds the wing.

I painted the background with Deep Turquoise and Prussian Blue liquid acrylic paints. 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso and decided to emboss the Geo Panel with grunge embossing powder.

I painted the Flower Posie #4, the Poppy Heads, and the Flower Buds #1 with nude and magenta liquid acrylic. 

For the Tea Leaves and the branches of the previous, I added some black to the nude-magenta mix to obtain a brown. I used this brown to add some shadow to the background.

To finish, I added some pink and turquoise glitter.

Shield - Mixed Media Canvas panel - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media canvas. 

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

First, I covered the whole canvas with book pages with a gloss gel. Next, I added a design with the Geo Texture stencil and 3D Gloss Gel. When dry, I added a thin layer of white gesso. I kept it very light as I wanted to see the text and remove the gesso from the design with a baby wipe. I painted the background with black, Prussian blue, and umber liquid acrylic paints. 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I chose the biggest Moon and colored it with liquid acrylic to match the shield of the photo. 

I used different shades of brown paints to color the Wildgrass #1, the Foliage #3 and #25, and the Fern Fronds.

I added a design to the Boho Skull with white heavy gesso and the Fossilised stencil. I painted the horns with black and burnt sienna paint and the skull with the same color with a hint of orange, but I diluted the colors with water. 

For the Feather Charm #4, I used brown, black, orange, and carmin paints. 

To finish, I added some glitter.

Embrace - Mixed Media canvas - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a mixed-media canvas.

Photo: ArtHouseWhimsy

First, I primed the canvas with white gesso. When done, I covered the background with paper and light modeling pastes to add more interest. Then I added a design with the Dots Stencil and white crackle paste. I let it dry naturally to allow the crackles to appear.

I primed all the chipboard with white gesso. I glued a piece of paper on the Jigsaw Pieces, then covered them with clear crackle paste.

I built my composition to my linking starting with the Jigsaw pieces, then I add the biggest elements such as the Flower Buds #1 and the Spring Blooms #3.

Next, I added the Dandelions and I finished with the Poppy Heads. 

When everything was completely dry, I added some color with black and brown liquid acrylic paints and a lot of water. 

To finish, I added some transparent glitter and a title.

Gnomes Garden Tag - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a tag. 

I selected a medium size tag from the Tag Medley set. I've primed the tag with white gesso before adding some designs to the background. I used the River Stone stencil with the Graphite paste to add the first design like a small path. Then, I added the second design with the Flourish stencil and light modeling paste. When dry, I painted the background with black and brown for the path, and green for the forest background.

I primed all the chipboards I've selected with white gesso as well. Then, I painted them with different acrylic paints.

The Gnome was painted with carmin, brown and black paint. I used brown and black paints to color the small Fairy Door #1 and black and white for the stone. 

For the Grass Cluster #1, I used green and purple. I added a touch of Unicorn paste to add some fun.

I paint the head of the Toadstool Border with carmin and the grass with green paints.

When everything was to my taste, I glued everything together.

My favourite colour is Rainbow - Heather Woodall

 Good morning

I had so much fun creating these projects. I had paint everywhere!!

I started with the DA3621 Circular Picture Pie - Circular picture pie – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business as my design idea, both as a template and as a chipboard piece.

I have used it as a template only on a art journal page, and then as a template then a chipboard piece on a scrapbook page.

The base of both the journal page and the scrapbook page I have used 3 soft colours and a large paint brush to softly add to the page. I have then used 3 different stencils and the same colour paints to stencil over the top.

DA1329 Splats Stencil - Splats Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

DA1473 Bubbles Stencil - Bubbles Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

DA2662 Flourish Stencil - Flourish Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

I have then used the Circular Picture Pie Chipboard as a template to trace around on both the journal page and scrapbook page to create a colour wheel base.

I have then chosen my paint colours and applied to create the colour wheel.

Over the top of both I have used a more pastel version of each colour and the DA3601 Paintbrush Stencil - Paintbrush Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

To finish off the Art Journal Page I used a large black Posca Pen to write the title and highlighted with a white gel pen.

To finish of the scrapbook page I attached the Circular Picture Pie Chipboard using clear drying glue. I then used Posca pens to paint the "My Favourite Colour is Rainbow" title as well as the rainbow and clouds. These were all then attached using clear drying glue.
