I am Mounika and I am so happy to be on Rainbow Craftykari Blog with my Inspiration Post.
Everyone loves to treasure memories in a special way, and if those memories are with our kids they are all the more special! To treasure such special memories with my son who will turn 3 this August, I made this frame.
To begin with, using Papericious black gesso I primed the frame. I then traced down the shape of the frame on a piece of pattern papers and cut it. I have used the Aazealian paper stack from Papericious's latest collection. I then stuck down the pattern paper and cut down the extras. To add some texture I used a bubble stencil with texture paste. Once it was dry I took small pattern papers and roughly arranged them. Once I was happy with the arrangement, I glued everything down. For the embellishments, I used a chipboard heart coloured using blue and yellow chalk paint. On the yellow hearts, I added glitter.
The main focal flower was made using Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms stamp and then shaped, the "love" sentiment embellishment was coloured using Prima Art Alchemy waxes. I used the same on the frame as well to highlight the texture at places.

Priya here today with a detailed pictorial tutorial for a Mixed media Wall art. Mixed media is always fun and I enjoy a lot creating different textures and I'm showing how to get different textures on your project here today with simple little things from your stash.
Take a look at the final outcome:
Let's start the tutorial:
Step:1 I altered a square shaped MDF board, which actually was a cake base. You can take any size of a board. Here's the base:
Step 2: I gave a thick coat of white heavy gesso on the base. Once it was dry I gave another coat.
Step 3: Next, I created some texture.Here you can see, on the lower part of the board, I glued some crumpled tissue paper and also attached lace.
Step 4: At this point, I created some texture with the help of a stencil on the left side. As you can see my son also helped me in this.
For quick drying, I used the heat tool.
Step 5: Then, on the right side of the lace on upper part, I applied some texture paste and tried some random texture using my quilling comb.
A dotted tool for some more texture here and there.
Step 6: After drying, I started adding embellishments randomly. I added flowers, chipboards, resin and metal embellishments and glued them all with a glue gun.
Step 7: Then I added a few Big and small pearls, Art stones and sprinkled seed beads.
Step 8: Then I started adding colours. Here I used acrylic colours. I mixed Pink and yellow colours to get this colour and at the lower side I added black pearl acrylic colour.
This is how it looked when finished. This photo was taken at night after I finished, so the picture isn't very clear.
