2015 Mixed Media Technique Calendar - August

Yes, it's been a while but I didn't forget...just lots of things going on.  Here is the page we're going to make today...a mix of sprays, ink and other goodies!

1. Start off by tearing up a bit of text paper - this is a page from an old book but you can use whatever you have on hand.

2. Glue the pieces down any way you'd like.

 3. Dry brush a bit of gesso onto the arch.

4. Add a few spritzes of a couple dye sprays...  I'm using Pear Tart and Bahama Blue Fireworks! spray.

5. Find a couple different caps to use as stamps.   I stamped the large one several times using Danube Blue Memento Luxe Ink...

And I stamped the smaller lid with Morocco Luxe.

6. Add some stamping here and there.  I used several Viva Las Vegas mixed media stamps and the butterflies.  All stamped with various colors of StazOn Midi's

7. Now add some texture by flinging on a media of your choice - I'm using irRESISTible Texture Spray.  I took the cap off and used the little plastic hose to flick it all over the arch.  I used Radiant Neon Electric Blue, Pear Tart and Wedding White.

Here's a close up of the splatters - awesome huh?  It keeps that texture once dry!

8. Add the calendar and add black ink around the edge of the arch to finish it off!
