Live your story

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a new project as Design Team member 

for 13arts with you all today, a mixed media shadow box 

featuring papers and embellishments from the 

ROSE IN LOVE collection as well as cut-outs 

from the BELLA collection.

I prepared the box by first giving it a good covering 

of white gesso.  I then combined a mixture 

of white gesso and texture powder and applied 

this to the front of the box with a spatula, leaving 

it to dry naturally to bring out all of the cracks.

Once the paste was dry, I combined liquid acrylic medium 

and Jadeite Color Glow together and added this 

onto the cracks, spraying with water to allow the colour 

to move across the front of the box.

I painted the resin embellishments with the same 

green Color Glow (frame and branch) and added Ruby 

Color Glow with liquid acrylic medium 

to the flowers on the resin piece.

Chipboard leaves were painted with the same green paint

and the resin window coloured with Ruby paint.

I added flowers, ephemera and cutout-outs 

around the edges of the box, layering them 

with the coloured resin pieces.

I hope that this project has inspired you.
