"Whats A Girl To Do"
Mixed Media Layout
By Di Garling


Hi there, thanks for stopping by the blog.
Today I have a mixed media layout to show
 you that I had lots of fun creating !!

2Crafty Chipboard Used....
"Whats A Girl To Do"- title
"Frame Jenna"
"Mini Flourish Bits" Pack
"Lattice Leaves" Pack
"Ariels Spray"


Naturally I have used lot of our favourite 2Crafty chipboard to decorate it.

For the title & also the little "Lattice Leaves" I simply painted them with
a coat of black acrylic paint, tooo easy.


I have used this gorgeous "Äriels Spray" to kind of underline
my title. This is such a beautiful chipboard piece!!

All the flourishes, frame & Ariels Spray were coloured in a lovely
patchy kind of way using Dylusions Sprays.
Little Tip...Use white acrylic paint to basecoat these chippie pieces
& NOT gesso as gesso & Dylusions are not very compatible. It fades the
colour right out where as the white acrylic paint doesn't !!


To frame my photo & help to draw the eye in, I have cut up the 
little "Jenna Flourish Frame" as well as mixing in some pieces of the
"Mini Flourish Bits" & placed the pieces around my photo
& it all worked perfectly together to do the job.


I had also used the Dylusions to colour up my flowers too.
Got to love a bit of mixed media, & how nice do those little black
"Lattice Leaves" look when teamed with the bright coloured flowers !!


Well that’s all I have to show you today.
I will be back soon with some more inspiration.
