Mixed media layers

Cool stuff!

Hey crafty people Rita Barakat here-lets take a look at this months kit!

I used a little bit of everything in this kit for this project!
If you have ever thought about trying a mixed media kit this is the one!

Ephemera sheets, paint, matte gel medium, crackle, washi tape and a project to alter?

Fabulous!

 I got so carried away I didn't even take pics while in progress!

But from the results you can see I had a lot of fun!

I used the matte medium to adhere the birds and seal the box.

(Under and on top of the ephemera.)

Then I added layers of colors, washi tape and rub ons (Rub ons not in the kit.)

When I started this box it seemed a  

little flat so I went back and added a little texture to this  

box with drywall tape and a little modeling paste.

I stamped some words here and there. 
Dont be afraid to keep adding layers of colors,

it creates depth.

You can see the washi tape on the corner- I did add a little matte medium

over it to blend better.

Here are two of the hinges in the kit.

Makes it look so polished don't you think?

There are so many possibilities for this kit!

Have you ordered yours yet?

Create A Mixed Media WISH Box

Hello creative souls...Martha here with my 1st project from the incredible July kit! I had so much fun working with everything that is included. For this project I used 5 products from the kit.

The July Mixed Media Kit includes:

Maya Road 3" Vintage Memory Box with Coaster Album

 .5 oz Bottle of Crackle Accents

 Bottle of 'Peeled Paint' Distress Paint

Bottle of 'Antique Linen'  Distress Paint

4 oz Jar of Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-Medium

Roll of Prima Washi Tape (colors/design may vary)

Package Tim Holtz Hinges

'Pretty Bird Notes' Ephemera sheet from ARTChixStudio

Let's take a look at what I created:

Mixed Media WISH Box

{a place to store all my wishes and dreams}

FYI: I'm thrilled with the Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Paints because of all the applications it can be used for, used on multiple surfaces and a color range that coordinates with the Distress palette. It has been developed to be reactive with water. Although it comes with the convenient dabber top I like applying it with a paint brush. It can also be treated as a color wash, almost watercolor like, when water is added to it. 

An artist can change her mind...right? I originally was going for the ivory distress paint but was not pleased with the finished look so I went for the Peeled Paint green. 

Thanks for stopping by and spending a few minutes with me. I hope I have inspired you to try some of these products & techniques. I'll be back with another project on Mon. July 15th.
