| Mixed Media Altered Book |
Hi friends for my DT posts for
Crafters Corner I was assigned to make projects using "Stencils". I went shopping and got some gorgeous stencils and mixed media products which I will be showcasing in the next couple of posts.
This diary I altered in mixed media style is a rather special one as it's where I jot down ideas for my blog posts and crafty experiments .Though I do use
Pinterest and Evernote for my crafty ideas and organization ...there is nothing quite like
old school pen and paper !!
 |
| Diary I altered |
After a coating of Gesso,I used Ranger Multi medium Matt Gel to glue down a layer of tissue paper , purposely making it bumpy in certain areas.
 |
| Gesso + Tissue Paper |
Used a gorgeous product called
White crackle Texture paste on
Scrapberry's Petals Pattern Stencil .
 |
| Crackle Paste |
Since my base was all bumpy...I didnt get a nice crisp stencilling but then it didnt matter for this particular project
 |
| Crackle Paste |
After a few hours you get a lovely crackle effect...nice and easy!
 |
| Crackle Paste |
Since my background was white, to highlight the stencilled area I sprayed Art Anthology Sprays and also rubbed in some Inka Gold into the cracks!
 |
| Art Anthology Sprays |
And that is how the stencilled area looks on my altered book cover.
 |
| Crackle Paste |
Stuck down myriad gessoed embellishments[ pearls, buttons, clay embellishments, broken jewelry]
 |
| Mixed Media Book Cover |
Gave a light brushing with
Art Anthology's Sorbet Peach paint...this new paint is like a gel and is shimmery and beautiful
 |
| Mixed Media Book Cover |
The humble tissue paper is such an easy way to add texture to a project and its texture can be highlighted so beautifully by rubbing on a little
Inka Gold using your fingers.

I added the sentiment " Enjoy" on my diary cover as after all crafting is to be enjoyed and life too!!

The design on the center of my book was made using the gorgeous
Prima's Jamie Dougherty Stencil Anemone.
 |
| Prima Anemone Stencil |
This stencil is simply fascinating to use as it has 2 parts...a broad outline and a detailing element.
Sponge on 1 or even several ombre shades of Distress Inks on the flower outline
 |
| Prima Anemone Stencil |
You can add a nice script or musical note stamp on it as it has enough space
 |
| Stencil techniques |
Or try some texture media techniques!
 |
| Prima Anemone Stencil |
Place the detailing design part of the stencil and apply a nice coat of Black Embossing paste.
 |
| Embossing Paste |
A Tip : Dont scrape off the black embossing paste while the stencil is on your project as you can easily mess up things...let it be...after you lift your stencil off your surface...scrape the stencil clean using your palette knife and return excess paste to your jar and dont forget to quickly wash your stencil and knife.
Isn't the gorgeous black creamy texture fabulous on the flat Distress Ink background !

| Stencilled Flower |
Layered Stencil + Art Anthology Sorbet Paint |
| Stencil Technique |
Now using the same stencil with a very very special luxury paint called
Sorbet[ from Art Anthology]. Sorbet paints are light and fluffy and almost like a smooth gel...quite unlike any paint I have ever seen and it shimmers brilliantly in the light !
 |
| Stencil Technique |
Scoop up a generous amount of Sorbet with your palette knife and smoothen it onto your outline stencil.
 |
| Stencil Technique |
On drying you get an amazing shimmery design!
 |
| Stencil Technique |
Looks good enough to eat doesnt it!!
 |
| Stencil Technique with Sorbet Paint |
Layered Stencil + Art Anthology Sorbet Paint + Embossing Paste  |
| Stencil Technique |
You can leave the sorbet painted design as it is or add more by layering on the detailing part of the stencil [ only after the sorbet layer is absolutely dry] and adding a texture paste. I went with Dreamweaver's black embossing paste again.
 |
| Stencil Technique |
Isnt this simply gorgeous !!
 |

Love how the matt black contrasts soo beautifully against the shimmering peach sorbet.
 |

And here is one more view to show the shimmer and texture
 |

And here is one more technique
Layered Stencil + Art Anthology Sorbet Paint+ Pouncing with Stencil Brush/Finger
 |
| Stencil Technique |
For this technique it's wonderful to have a stencil brush but if not you can just use your fingers too.
|
| Stencil Technique |
After you have applied a nice coating of sorbet paint on your stencil pounce on it with a stencil brush or your fingers.
 |
| Stencil Technique |
Sorbet paints are dimensional paints and maintain their peaks brilliantly so what you get is a nice mottled lacy effect.
 |
| Stencil Technique |
Here is how it looks on my book cover
 |
| Stencil Technique |
Layered Stencil + Art Anthology Sorbet Paint + Texture Paste + Distress Glitter |
| Stencil Technique |
And if you want to have more fun...stencil on the detailing with
white texture paste and while the texture paste is still wet sprinkle on some
distress glitter. |
| Stencil Technique |
The combination of the shimmering
Sorbet Paint , the
texture paste and the glistening
distress glitter is amazing!
 |
| Stencil Technique |
I added a variety of handmade clay embellishments , buttons and sequins on both the upper and lower parts of my book cover
 |
| Mixed Media Project |
I used air drying clay and molds to make lightweight clay embellishments.
 |
| Clay Embellishments |
And the embellishments were an assortment of colors before I gessoed them and gave a brushing of
Inka Gold and
Sorbet paint. |
| Clay Embellishments |
I was amazed myself at the transformation of the rose with just gesso and a rubbing of Inka Gold!
 |
| Clay Flower with Inka Gold |
The beautiful resin flower was just the right color for my project and I am so glad I had hoarded it for years!
 |

And so that is how my Craft Diary got a mixed media alteration!
