August guest designer by Mixed Media Academy
Hello everyone,
and welcome to my guest design project on the blog from
Mixed Media Academy. I created for the August challenge a scrapbook layout 30cm x 30cm
in mixed media style.
I started on a grey cardstock design paper from 13arts with two layers of clear gesso also from 13arts.
After my gesso was dry I added color glow to my page. Color glow is a metallic shine powder and I used two different color shades in blue. The next step was adding silverglitter, white acrylic color and bordeaux acrylic color with my palette-knife. After that I added my stencil design with Archival Ink and stencils from Hobbyshop Sandra, a store here in The Netherlands. Now it was time for my stamp images with stamps from ScrapFx Australia, LaBlanche and LostCoast Design and black ink. Some parts of my black stamp images are covered in black embossingpowder from WOW. For more texture on my layout I added blue hot wax to my page. Then I painted randomly with black acrylic paint. After everything was dry I glued my photo of my youngest daughter Mia and I added a photo transfer from a polar bear to my background. Final touch markmaking with a posca pen and some tiny stickers from Tim Holtz.
I think I created a perfect scrapbook layout for this awesome mood board with the title
"Be messy and complicated and show up anyways".
Actually for me a mixed media project must always be wonderful messy... that's just part of it, at least for me!! It doesn't have to be complicated.
I hope I was able to inspire you a little bit to join in with this challenge. I in my case would like to say thank you to MMA for the invitation to be guest designer, it was fun for me and I feel very honoured.
Here is the mood board to work with.

Have a beautiful day.
