This was for HYCCT1326 - Mixing it up-Mixed media. It was fun to pull out some of my different things I was hoarding to try something like this 'someday'. I always admired others Mixed media creativity! Here's my late night fun!
I painted textured paper with the metallic acrylic paint, both sides, then let it dry for about 20 of the 24 recommended hours It die cut & embossed nicely. The grunge paper (for sentiment) was painted with metallic pearl with dabber then smacked with the paint brush of the colors I used for the flower, as I finished painting each color. I had to use a stamp-a-majig to restamp the sentiment a couple more times to make it show up boldly! It would take off some of the acrylic paint the first couple of times I had to peel the stamp off of it. The background was made with a stencil & Perfect Pearl mister in gold. I love the gold tone of the paint and the shimmer of everything, tho hard to photograph!
thanks for looking

Oh my goodness! This is gorgeous! Love the rich purple and green. You did a good job photographing the golden metallic tints. I can see them and admire them!
