The Basics Of Mixed Media
Hello Crafty friends,
Shylaashree here today to share the basics of mixed media using a pair of coasters for mixed media home decor and a mixed media tag. I have used Creative Genie Chalk paints and acrylic colours from the CraftGully store.
Here are the step by step instructions for making a mixed media tag.
On the MDF base apply a coat of white gesso and allow it to dry. Then create some background using your favourite stencil and modeling paste.
Once it dries, start colouring the texture with chalk paint or acrylic paint and then spray some water, so that the colours spread. Allow it to dry.
Next step is to add embellishments - i have added the fabric flowers, diecut leaves, thread, chipboards, stones and glitters balls. Finally add a splash of black gesso for highlighting.
You can attach magnets at the back or add twine to hang on the wall.
