- To a base of cardboard food packaging, adhere glossy DCWV ruler/measuring tape paper.
- Mute the patterned paper by adding two layers of glossy gel medium with a little white and metallic champagne acrylic paints mixed in. Brush a little silver acrylic paint around the edges as a border.
- Once the tinted gel medium dries, stamp Alice and the sentiment in black Staz-on ink, then color Alice with markers.
- The arrow is a wood piece, colored with blue marker and then muted with white acrylic paint. The non-flower embellishment is a metal piece tinted with black Adirondack alcohol ink and an adhesive crystal added to the center.
- Final steps: adhere the arrow, metal, and flower embellishments; add some pearl drops and highlight the flower stigma with a Viva pearl pen.

This is lovely. A really good idea to recycle food packaging. I love Alice in Wonderland.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jannet! Most of my die cuts and ATC card bases are from recycled cardboard food packaging; it's great upcycling. :)

Thanks, Susan! I have been having fun playing with tinting different mediums (gels, pastes) with all sorts of stuff: ground pastels, re-inkers, alcohol inks, acrylic paints, etc.
DeleteIt has been a fun journey!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lozzy! I am so glad you started the More Mixed Media challenge. All the challenge blog & online craft store closures last year were very disheartening, and I am happy to support your antidote to those closures!
