Hello all Crafty friends!!!
My brother always tells me that "I am a big hoarder" and sometimes I do agree with him. So this time I have created a mixed media layout with a picture, I have been hoarding for a long time. Making a mixed project is also so fun. You can add so many techniques and style and the end results are always a surprise.
I am here today with my first " Picture tutorial post "at Rainbow Craftykari as a DT member.
Step 2: Once the base is dry, apply the second layer of colour. When using crackle medium, you should use the dark colour as your base, so that when the second layer of colour cracks, the darker shade is visible.
Step 3: Next, add some more elements on the background by stamping. I have used some clear stamps and distress ink for this.
Step 4: Mixed media is all about layers. Next, add some texture with modelling paste. To further enhance the look, add colour on the edges and let it flow.
Step 5: Select the photo of your choice that will be the focal point of your project. I have used a picture which is very close to my heart. Pick out a few papers to create layers underneath your picture. Distress the edges with ink. Fuss cut some elements for layering, or grab your embellishments. Play around with them and see what looks good before sticking them.
Step 6: Once you are happy with the arrangement and placement of the layers, embellish the layout with the buttons, flowers, tags and stones.
Hope you all like it and get inspired by it to create something equally beautiful for yourself!!!

So here is how I made the layout:-

Enjoy the video flip through and the step by step instruction below.
Step 1: For this beautiful layout, I have taken an MDF base measuring 12x12 inches. You could use anything that is handy for you or even a 12x12 scrapbook paper. TO begin with, prime the surface with black gesso and let it dry. Next, for an edgy look, apply crackle medium evenly with a brush and let it dry. The crackle medium should be dry completely before applying the second layer of colour.
Step 2: Once the base is dry, apply the second layer of colour. When using crackle medium, you should use the dark colour as your base, so that when the second layer of colour cracks, the darker shade is visible.
Step 3: Next, add some more elements on the background by stamping. I have used some clear stamps and distress ink for this.

Step 6: Once you are happy with the arrangement and placement of the layers, embellish the layout with the buttons, flowers, tags and stones.
