Mirror frame - mixedmedia tutorial

Hi crafty friends,  Maria Pilar is here sharing with you a mirror frame mixedmedia I made for April Moodboard Challenge. 

This month our sponsor is ITD collection and I used Creative Set RS008 Summertime in blue, one of their rice paper set, to decorate my mirror frame Malma, from Ikea.   

I'm going to show you the step by step for my project.

I glued the rice paper chosen with white glue on both sides of the frame. To easily cut it where I wanted and it would not break, I wet the paper with a water brush and so it just separates. Then, I lightly run a piece of cloth over it to adhere well to the surface.

As I was missing an area to fill with the paper in the center of the painting, I use the pieces that have been left over long and I integrate them using acrylic paint similar to the colors of the paper spread with the water brush.

Next I used one of the stencils that come in the set with Stamperia crackling gold embossing paste and applied heat until it cracked and dried.

On the entire surface, unevenly, I stamped a little flower stamp with some of the acrylic paint I used earlier, and a music stamp with black Stazon ink.

I prepared some flowers separately and joined the petals with some brads. With a wide lace with flowers, I did several tests until I managed to leave that corner as I liked. 

I cut out other pieces of lace to decorate the top center of the image along with a wooden phrase that says "Pretty things", and some small flowers to which I glued a large teal blue pearl. I also added two wood musical notes.

I used sandpaper to remove the edges of the paper that protrude from the box. So it is very easy to remove it without breaking it.

To finish my project, once I did the whole composition, I added Glossy Accents to highlight the birds, the butterfly and some flowers. I forgot that some metal corner pieces also adorn my mirror frame.

 Here you have it finished. I hope you liked it.
