Mixed media layout 'Cherish' (You are my bliss forever)

 

I have created a mixed media layout, based on the beautiful moodboard from

Dusty Attic Challenge March 

I loved this color combination....

 

My other inspiration came from the

More than Words Main Challenge Bliss & Gesso ( march 2016)

 

 I would like to enter my layout for both challenges.

 

Here are some close ups:

 

This is how I interpreted the challenge bliss & gesso:

 

The title is: 'Cherish' (You are my bliss forever) and I guess it's not hard to explain why...

My little girl is my bliss, she brings joy into my life every day...

 

Gesso technique (one of my favs):

Use a roller and gesso on patterned paper.

I mixed clear and white gesso, so the pattern from the page is still visible.

 

My second step was using only white gesso and a stencil, rolling over it with my roller.

 

This is the result:

 

My next step: spraying some primary elements on the page.

I used alchemy acrylic paint on the edges.

Then another layer of gesso.

When dry I used my oilpastels (white on the whole page, black on the edges)

 

And last but not least a stencil from Dusty Attic and modelling paste...

 

And this is the end result...

 

 

 

I was inspired to create this page by the very talented Maryse Jolin

I saw this video from Maryse and I loved her drawing techniques.

 

  

I was also very inspired by this layout from KareenBH
