Little Artist Layout

Hi Bloggers

we don't always think of using dies for mixed media, but 

I love using my dies to cut out light weight chipboard

and using them for texture in a mixed media piece.

The arty look suits my photo of DD who even at a 

young age would fill sketch book after sketch book

with drawings, and still does. 

Adhere die cut mini doilies all over cardstock and when dry

paint with gesso.

Spray with your favourite coloured sprays and dry again.

Wipe the raised areas with gold metallic paint to highlight 

the texture.

Add a few details, like sequins and beads, with some 

splots of ink for a painted effect.

When the glue was wet, I have added a light

sprinkle of micro beads for extra texture.

To make the cheery orange flowers, die cut several sizes

with Layered flowers dies, arrange in order of

size and fasten with a brad.

1. Then dry brush with gesso, allow to dry.

2. Then spritz with water and scrunch up, dry off again

3. Then spray with colour, scrunch and dry again.

4. Lastly spray with adhesive glue and sprinkle with white glitter
