Mixed Media: Dwell In Possibility

Hello and welcome! Today I would like to share my latest piece made for April's challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang.

I was hugely inspired by Olga Ravenskaya's piece made last year and Cindy W's piece made for this month's color challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang.

I had to order the moon and stars Prima mold from Ebay because no one can seem to keep it in stock, it's so widely popular!! Anyway, I had fun with the creative process of combining all the various elements for this piece.

First part of this process was gesso . . . followed by crackle paste. I then "smooshed" the Tapestry

stencil over the crackle in various places. I then used glitter on the wet crackle paste and set aside to dry.

I worked on my embellishments next. I used Bonjour Butter EP on most of my mold pieces,

but saved using mint and teal on my moon face.

For my CE chipboard pieces, I gessoed, followed by embossing powders

Madonna Robe Blue Gold and Cleopatra's Copper.

The background was sprayed using C'est la vie Cerise, Merci Beacoup Mint and Tilt-a-wheel Teal. There are small touches of Bonjour Butter spray all around for dimension and interest. I finished the piece up by combining mint and teal with art stones and spreading that all over.

I did add splashes of white but that is a bit hard to see for some reason.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TODAY!!
