I used the mop-up tissue to cut out flower shapes with scissors. I glued down the flowers with Tacky Glue and/or Iridescent Medium (Winsor Newton) to make the collaged background. |
I am really pleased with these pages. This page looks to me like what the Denver Botanic Gardens looked like, to me, last weekend. It has rained a bit more than usual and the flower borders and beds are bursting with color. I feel like my beauty-loving heart could burst with pleasure as well. I am really allowing myself to really drink it all in. Hope you can get the feeling too.
Fabulous Gayle I love them x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Cynthia!
Deleteabsolutely stunningly gorgeous Gayle. I have seen iridescent medium but not sure what you used it for - will def get some now. Thanks for sharing lol xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie! The iridescent medium is most often used to mix with acrylic paint to make it shimmery. You can use any of the smooth acrylic mediums for collage/glue if you want to.
DeleteGayle thank you so much for showing the details on how you made this page. I am just getting all my products and ideas together to start doing some backgrounds and then advance from there. This is so exciting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dianne! Isn't mixed-media and visual journaling fun? It's all I want to do. I learn so much and discover so much with every piece I make.
