Mixed Media May-hem with DecoArt Media!
Hey there creative friends! It’s May and we have a fun new Art with Heart Challenge for you this month. Our theme is Mixed-Media May-hem. The Inspiration Team will be inspiring you with Mixed-Media Sizzix projects featuring DecoArt Media products and techniques all month-long! So what say you, are you ready for some Mixed-Media May-hem?
My inspiration was this photo. I love vintage canisters, so I decided to make it my mission to recreate the white one!
Might not be exact, but I think it comes close!
Metal verses Scoreboard!
Here is how it is done!
Make your Eileen Hull canisters
Gather your paint
I used
First layer - Medium Grey Value 6
Next layer - Quinacridone Gold
I dabbed it on using the end of my paint brush
Once dry, wipe off using paper towel or baby wipes.
Using Saral tracing paper - trace words and paint with Carbon Black
Once dry - lightly sand over words to give them a worn look.
I am in LOVE with this new DecoArt media line! I have been playing more with paints, it has been a while and I am loving it!
I hope you join us in this month's Art with Heart Challenge - Mixed Media May-hem! As always, there is a great prize to be won! Enter HERE!
Thanks for stopping by!
