Mixed media scrapbook layout for the company 13arts

Hello my dear followers,

the summer is here and I really enjoy my garden.

My lovely hubby and I have bought a big olive tree for our garden, also two orange trees and a

solar water fountain. We love the meditarian style on our terrace and with the sound of rippling water

it`s so relaxing.

But anyway..

For my first single post in June I created such a rainbow colour mixed media page on the Magnolia Dream paper collection.

CREATE... is my title.

A closer look to my page:

on the photo below you can see the texture which I made with the stencil and gel medium.

I really love to add the pretty rose flowers from 13arts. They are so tiny and cute.

Behind my photo is a fussy cutting transparensy folie which I coloured with Alcohol Ink.

Alcohol Ink is also to buy in the store from 13arts.

A little ABC...about the products which I used.

1. Rainbow colours are watercolour granules and they are highly pigmented.

my favorite technique with them is: I add the rainbow colour first on my page and

then I spray water. Of course you have to prime your paper background with clear gesso first.

The gesso protect the paper for soaking full of liquid (water or spray)

2. Stencils are perfect for adding texture to the page. In my case I added to the stencil circle of life

gel medium. Gel medium is clear after drying.

3. I used for my mixed media layout the Magnolia Dreams and Rose in Love paper collection.

4. Glitter Acrylic Ink from 13arts is absolutley perfect for a glamour touch.

5. Coloured chalk spray mist from 13arts is such a nice product. I offtend use this product

mostly near the end with a brush directly from the bottle. Also is this product perfect for splattering.

This is a photo collage with some of the products from 13arts which I used for my page.
