Post 327: Mixed Media Layout- Enjoy the Journey

Hi friends !

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Layout- "Enjoy the Journey" This was part of my November DT work for Bob n Betty, all the details can be found here. I was inspired by the challenge over on the More than Words Challenge blog with the theme of "Outdoors" and "Woodgrain", so I took a wood grain pattern paper for my layout and for the outdoors I depicted journey and travelling. I have always wanted to travel to France and enjoy their beautiful green country side and that was my inspiration. I wanted it to have a vintage look so stuck to shades of brown and neutrals with a little pink. 

Synopsis of the Process: 

-Prepared the pattern paper with clear and heavy white gesso.
-Did background stamping and stenciling and heat embossed in white.
-Heat embossed the chipboards in black.
-Layered fussy cut vintage images, burlap, gauze & jute string to form the composition.
-Added color with sprays and a few details like doodling and borders with white acrylic paint.
-Darkened the edges of the page and added brown and white splatter at the end.

List of Supplies:

Bob n Betty's Cottage Blush Paper Collection
Prima's Heavy White Gesso, Clear Gesso
