Hello dears,
It is a great honor for me to be a guest designer of mixed media academy blog this month.My name is Tali Shaul, I am married and a mother of three children.My main profession is a cpa and at my free time I am an artist of Mix Media and Scrapbooking.
This is my project of march challenge to mixed media academy blog inspired by their lovely moodboard.

Now on to the Process:
First I cut circle at the size of the hoop I chose.
For the base of the work I covered it with a clear gesso , stenciling with a modeling paste and I did some stamping around the picture.
I added shading to the background using acrylic crayons and lindy's gang sprays.
Than I designed around the picture of those two cute kids marking silence with their fingers
Added some flowers, torn pages,molds and chipboards.
In the end,I added gray and purple splatters with the lindy's gang sprays .
All designed with the wonderful colors of the march challenge.

Hope you like my projet. Do not forget to enter the challenge this month.

Hi friends!

Thanks a lot to Priya for inviting me to be a Guest Designer this month. The gorgeous colours & theme of the March Moodboard inspired me to create a Vintage Art Journal Page titled "Silent Moment".

Vintage Art Journal Page- Silent Moment

Process:

1. Applied heavy white gesso to the art journal page to prepare it for mixed media work.

2. Added shading to the background using distress crayons.

3. To add interest to the background, adhered tissue papers, did background stamping using archival inks and stenciling using modelling paste.

4. Created white, grey and purple ink splatter on the background.

5. Next, worked on the main composition. To create the paper layers, painted multiple pieces of cardstock with different shades of purple and grey inks and paints. I used Lindy's Gang sprays, CrafTangles Chalk Paints and Dina Wakley's Acrylic Paints. Created a distressed look on some of the papers and did stamping on them. Then tore these coloured papers.

6. Collected all the elements for layering (vintage photo, laces, gauze, torn pieces of painted paper, word stickers & tissue papers. Layered everything to create a harmonious composition, then adhered it all down using a strong glue.

7. Next, added a little bit of stencilling on the main composition using modelling paste and added some glitter paste to some of the areas for a little shine.

8. In the end, created more shading in the background using the distress crayons and added white acrylic ink splatters.
