April Mixed Media Kit: Altered Canvas | At the End of the Day...

Hello All! Wendy here to share up my altered canvas titled "At the End of the Day", this month for Frog Dog Studio!  

You can check out my first project this month here where I created a Mixed Media necklace with the April Mixed Media Kit along with a  video tutorial.

My last take this month using the April Add-On kit with Amazing Crafting Products that was just ALL sorts of amazing.ness and team up.  I know my projects using their product will continue WAY beyond this month!  You just want to play play play....

  
So many of the embellishments on my project was created using the Amazing Casting Resin, Amazing Crafting Products Alumilite in Silver Metallic Powder, and Amazing Crafting Products Yellow Dye (not pictured above) along with the Amazing Clear Cast (pictured above).   

I will create up a video tutorial later this week and link you back here on this blog post with the 'behind-the-scenes' into the making into the florals and butterflies for my canvas.

In the meantime, here are some more pictures of my project...

If you loved the colors in the April Mixed Media Kit, just wait until you see the May Mixed Media Kit!!

Fall Beauty-A Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Good morning! I have to confess it has been a while since I have created a scrapbook page. I'm not sure where my scrapping mojo has run off to, but I'm beginning to miss it. In the hopes of reviving Monsieur Mojo, I have created this layout of my daughter using the totally fabulous Frog Dog Studio November Paper Add On Kit. :)

As much as I love mixed media (and you may find this as odd as I do), I never incorporate it into my scrapbooking. It's almost like the two must remain separated. I figured I'd give it a go since I always admire this type of scrapping (Tina is an absolute master at this type of thing!)

I started out by covering the page in matte medium and pushing and crumbling the brown tissue paper into it. Then I started spraying away with the Lindy's sprays from the kit.

When that was dry, I just tore up some of the BoBunny papers that I liked from the kit to create a base for my photo. Then I attached the photo, and worked in some Tim Holtz Distress Paint to help blend it in.

I wanted to get some good texture on the background, so I used some Golden Modeling Paste and a few stencils. I just laid down the stencils in random spots and gently scraped on the modeling paste over the top using a catalyst wedge.

Using the stamps from the kit, I stamped around the page randomly, using brown Ranger Archival Ink. When I was satisfied with that, I added some of the BoBunny chipboard pieces. I also didn't want the stark white of the modeling paste, so I went over the page with some more Distress Paint. I wanted everything to blend together. I added a few rubons also just for some extra interest.

And the final product!
