BE THE EXCEPTION- MIXED MEDIA PANEL

 Hello everyone,

Fairuz Fabiha here and welcome to the EC blog. Today I’ll be showing you how to create a mixed media panel.

Today’s project is inspired by ‘Rust Effects’ that mainly came from the expressions craft June challenge mood board. 

For today I wanted to create a contrast of light and dark by using a white base and creating dark rust effect over it.

So for the base, I’ve used a plastic wood panel. The composition is done using expressions craft chipboards and clay embellishments.

At first I have used EC heavy white gesso to prime the base. Then I’ve used the metal plate stencil along with the dazzling diamond glitter paste to add some textures and heat embossed it with frosted silver and turquoise blue embossing powder. For more textures and interest I added the Black Granite paste from immix. And for coloring the whole thing I used rowdy rust, royal peacock spray and amber gold, old metal rust and tea cup teal chroma burst. For highlighting the elements, I’ve used soft glitter gold and mermaid song metallic paints.

All of the products are listed down below along with the website link. 

Hope you enjoy the close-up pictures of today’s project along with the YouTube tutorial linked down below.
