My project fits this week's Mix-Ability challenge - check the Mix-Ability Challenge Forum for all the details! It's my turn this week to host and this week we're blocking off a 2-inch strip on our projects and doing our mixed media magic between the lines.
I gave my 3" Art Square a couple of coats of gesso, leaving some brush strokes for texture. I masked off a 2" strip at a random angle, dropped a few drips of craft paint into the space, and then scraped the paint around. I used a tissue to lift a little more of the paint and add some texture.
When the paint was dry, I added a couple of layers of stamping and used a Zig marker to add some shading to the edges of the masked area. After removing the mask I filed the piece to lighten the painted area and take advantage of some of the texture in the gesso. I scrawled a quick sentiment with a ball point pen, used my MISTI to position the sentiment in the open area, and added some defining lines to the edges of the masking.
On the card base, I die cut some small leaves in a semicircle, then positioned the Art Square inside the curve.
