"Hello"Mixed Media LayoutBy Di Garling

Hi there & hello, thanks so much for calling by.
Today I have a mixed media layout to share with you
and naturally I have used some fabulous pieces of our
favourite 2Crafty chipboard.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Mini Flourish Bits

"Hello" - title

Mandala #5

Mini Title Sticks Set #1

Magnolia Stems

So to start my layout I have created a nice mixed media
 background with stencils, pastes & paints & then lots of
fussy cut layers with some added burlap, flowers & vines.

I have tucked a piece of the "Mandala #5" in behind my photo
as well as a piece from the "Mini Flourish Bits" in
amongst my flowers. I love the added texture it creates.

Next came this fabulous "Hello" title.
All pieces were firstly primed
with white gesso followed by a very rough coat of
Prima Marketing "Metallique" paint.

The only exception to painting all the pieces was this 

awesome little "Mini Title Stick" which I left raw as I

thought it worked well with my colour palette.

My most favourite piece I have used is this fabulous
"Magnolia Stem" at the bottom of my photo.
It really is such a statement piece!!

Well thats all I have for you today.
I hope you can draw some inspiration from it.

Until next time...
