Post 322: Mixed Media Altered Bottle

Hi friends!

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Altered Bottle today. This was made for a GD post at Madras Bazaar, all the details can be checked out here. I love the crackle effect on it :)

Process & Supplies:

1. Took an empty perfume bottle and applied 2 coats of Prima's heavy white gesso on it to prep the surface
2. Using Prima's 3D matte gel adhered a few metal charms to the bottle.
3. Applied Prima's white crackle paste to the bottle and let it air dry so as to get the desired crackle effect
4. Added Prima finnabair mega and regular art stones at some places using 3D matte gel & brushed on some white gesso on the charms and art stones
5. Once everything was dry, applied color using 3 of the Madras Bazaar Pearl Ink sprays– Charcoal Black, Vibrant Green & Shock Blue
6. To finish the project, applied Prima's Opal Magic Wax- Vintage Silk to some of the raised surfaces using my fingers.

Here are some photos of the altered project:

I am playing along with the following challenges:

Mixed Media & Art- October Challenge- Fantasy (I was inspired by the blue and black colors)

Mixed Media Place October Challenge- I was inspired by the shiny and white elements

Thanks for your time :)

Post 313: Mixed Media Card (Fine Day)

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Card today. This was made for my Guest Design Post at Madras Bazaar. All the details can be checked out here. The sentiment reads "Wish you a Fine Day" I was inspired by a few challenges to make this card. I've used dried twigs and leaves as natural elements here as well as alphabet gem stickers "fine day" for part of the sentiment. For sparkle I've added glitter and sequins.

Supplies & Process:

1. For this card which measures 4 by 7 inches, I used snippets of cardstock, gauze, jute twine, dried twigs & leaves. Adhered all the elements to the card using Prima's matte gel

2. Added Prima's modeling paste through a Craftyscrappers Stencil- The Arrow for added texture 

3. Stamped the background with Black Archival ink using Craftyscrappers Butterfly Kisses Stamp 

4. Applied Prima's heavy white gesso on the elements and once it was dry, added color using the Madras Bazaar Pearl Ink Sprays- Charcoal Black & Shock Blue 

5. Added flowers to the composition including the Craftyscrappers Fabric Rose big- Sky Blue, dry brushed some white gesso on them and then for sparkle using soft gloss gel added some Madras Bazaar Fine Glitter- Diamond Crystal 

6. In the end, added the sentiment with Tim Holtz stickers & Gem Stickers and more sparkle with Madras Bazaar Sequins- Ocean Breeze

Here are some photos of the card:

I am playing along with the following challenges:

Stage 3: The Breath of Nature- Joint Project "Creative Art" (used dried twigs and leaves + alphabet gem stickers)


Craftyscrappers Challenge #16- Sparkle it Up (used glitter and sequins for sparkle & craftyscrappers fabric flower, stencil and stamp here)
