Mixed Media Layout On MDF

Hello and Namaste! Crafty people

I am Sneha Apte here sharing my latest project made for this months moodboard at splashymix .Here is our current Moodboard for September

This time I am here with layout based on this month's moodboard. I started by applying white gesso on my mdf board after it was dry I used stencil and texture paste yo give interest to the background. Then started coloring with Chalk paints (gray) and distress sprays (hickory smoke). I didn't wanted to cover the whole mdf with colors so I concentrated only in the middle and splattering some colors here and there.

I wanted to use lace for sure as the moodboard suggests that so sticking it with fabric glue. After that I stick all my embellishments one by one arranging on one side on my board making sure it does not look a messy cluster.

I used lot of embellishments like lace,doilies,molds,leaves die-cuts,chipboards and handmade flowers. I keep trying and arranging and layering all the embellishments one by one until I am satisfied.

I used white pink and gray color flowers. I used little bit pink color to lift up my layout lil bit. At the end did dry washing with white gesso and splatters with some black gesso.

I hope you enjoyed my project and found some inspiration from it. If you like it or have any questions ask me in comment section bellow....for me colors challenged me because they are so soft and pastel....I work very less with pastel colors I am more of a bright person. But I enjoyed making this too.

One winner will receive a goodie bag worth Rs.1000 from Connect 4 Sale.

One Runner up(Indian postal address) will receive a goodies worth Rs.500 from ITD Collection

Love Hugs and Happy Crafting.

Thank You!

Guest designer September

Hi everyone,

Our today's post is from our guest designer.
You could get a chance to guest design in our blog by participating in our challenge.

Here we introduce Our August Challenge winner Monalisa Dutta.

Over to her

Myself Monalisa Dutta. I am thankful to Splashymix for this wonderful opportunity to be the guest designer for this month.

I have been fond of recycling and upcycling items since childhood. I used to make little showpieces from upcycled items when I grew interest in this. I started to involve myself in mixed media art and altered art very recently and felt the passion towards it.

I am sharing my project for Splashymix September month challenge here.I created this mixed media layout inspired by Zvia .She mentioned in her inspiration project that September is the first month of Hebrew calendar. They celebrate New year in this month. So I decided to create this project by keeping that in mind. The quote of my work is "Watching and Waiting". The door is the focal element of my work which represents new hope, new opportunity, new begining and of course new life.I believe that we hope but we also know that there are fair chances that everything will remain the same, mostly the same. This month's moodboard includes basically muted colours. Staying optimistic and by using the provided colours, I tried to portray my thoughts through this layout.

Hope i inspired

Bye

Monalisa Dutta

SHABBY CHIC DRAWER CHEST - DT SIRISHA

Hello Everyone!!

I am Sirisha Setia here with my new project for the September month Challenge at Splashymix Challenges.

Inspired completely by the amazing moodboard of the month, I have created a beautiful Shabby Chic decor piece for home with all the elements.

Step by Step pictures of the project are as follows:

This amazing MDF vintage drawer chest box is first covered with Shabby Velour paint by Fabrica Decoru, and stencil is done with Finnabair stencil and Prima Gold crackle medium to get the amazing cracks within the stencil.

Next to go with the moodboard, I made the Macrame leaves with cotton thread for the side hanging I wanted to create and for the top of the project. I arranged all the elements with my macrame leaves on the gold chain for the side and made my hanging ready.

Next i tore a cardstock paper from Itsy Bitsy Shabby chic collection for the drawers and gave it a distressed look.

Followed by using Transfer Me sheets Lace design from Dress My Craft on the drawer and top of the chest.

Added all the elements, the doily cutout from Itsy Bitsy Shabby chic collection, the wooden mirror embellishments and embossed it with Lindy's pink embossing powder and Itsy Bitsy Gold embossing powder to give dual tone.

I used Lindy,s Sprays for the base grey color over the stenciled cracks to give a smokey effect. and at the end assembled all my elements together, with little of pearl effect at the end.

Here are few close up pictures of my project for you.

Hope you like my project and get inspired to create one of yours. Do participate in the challenge and get a chance to win fabulous prices from our sponsors.

Thank you
