The Last Christmas - Frosted Designs Mixed Media Paper Kit

Howdy blogging friends, are you ready for Christmas???

I am almost there, a few more things and I will be done!

Today I want to share my second project from the

Frosted Designs December Mixed Media Paper Kit.

This is such an AWESOME kit! You are

going to want one for sure!

This kit has so many great pieces I really didn't add that much to it.

I threw in the Dusty Attic chipboard and the lg Prima Flower, the brad is from last months kit.

I sprayed my cardstock with the Heidi Swapp Color Shine included in the kit - pretty much covered

the whole sheet with a light mist.

I cut the stars from the sheet of white glitter felt and outlined

them with the Frosted Lace Stickles (both included) I sprayed the Linen Star with the Gold Color Shine

and outlined it with a white pen. The star chipboards are from UmWow, I sprayed with

White Dylusions, dried with my heat gun, then sprayed with the Gold Color Shine.

Here is another look at one of the stars, I used the heat gun to bubble up the spray inks.

You can also see the texture on the chipboard piece; I used modeling paste in a thick

heavy coat, then let it dry. I sprayed the whole thing with Gold Color Shine, then a little spritz of the Red Perfect Pearls. When it was dry I applied a light coat of ink.

Here is another look at the chipboard. The resin flower is included in the kit too!

I used the cheesecloth from the kit for a mat behind my photo. I sprayed

the cloth with Gold Color Shine, dried with a heat gun, then cut with my

pinking scissors.

Frosted Designs Mixed Media December Kit Reveal & Tutorial

Love, love , love the blues on the Christmas lines this year.

I used a LOT of spray ink on this layout- the doily was pretty much

soaked with the Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine.

I layered several die cuts next to my photo. For my background I used a stencil, Molding Paste, Gelatos® and glitter -there is a tutorial below.

Here is a close-up of the background. I wrapped this beautiful sparkly tulle around

my paper for more dimension. The wooden stars were sprayed with the Perfect Pearls Forever Red.

For my title I painted chipboard first with acrylic paint, then I sprayed with the Perfect Pearls Forever Red and the Gold Color Shine. It is a little hard to see the gold in the photo, but it is pretty visible in person!

For the flowers, I sprayed them with the Gold Color Shine first, then spread Frosted Lace Stickles

around the edges of the petals.The chipboard snowflakes were covered

with the Stickles and while wet I added some bling.

I used a gold paint pen on the edge of the paper that you see here. For the texture on top of the buttons, I mixed gloss gel, glitter, and beads and spread on top.

I added the Stickles in the corners of the papers.

I sprayed the tiniest, tiniest bit of Forever Red ink on the corner here.

Seriously, I held the paper like 2 feet from the sprayer and misted one time.

I just wanted a little blush of color there.

Tutorial:

For the background here are the steps:

I put a small amount of my Gelatos® on my paper and mixed with Molding Paste.

I spread this over my stencil and while the stencil was still in place,,,,,

I sprinkled my glitter on and pressed it into the paste.

Ta-da! This is a super easy technique and you will love how it looks.

For the texture on top of the buttons, I mixed Gloss Gel, beads, and Diamond Dust Glitter together.

Put a piece of scrap paper over your photo and spread the mixture all over. I put mine on

pretty heavy, but you can always put less. Put it aside to dry overnight. In the morning I

gave it a spritz with the Gold Color Shine.

Mixed Media Tutorial on Canvas- Frosted Designs

Hi everyone! How is your week so far?
Wonderful I hope!

Today I want to share a tutorial on how I made my
background on this beautiful project below.
I love adding color and texture to my projects and
using the November Mixed Media Kit and the Mixed Media Starter Kit
from Frosted Designs will give you a lot of options.

This is my second project from the November kit and I still have a ton
of pieces left. I feel a third project coming on!

I used the Hexagon Canvas piece from the November kit as my base. I
embellished with lace, roses, buttons, and papers from the kit as well.

Here is how I created my background;

I used a resist embossing technique for my background.
To start my background I stamped a large pattern with
VersaMark and embossed with clear powder. The embossed areas will
resist the ink when you apply it- it is pretty cool!

I think this technique works best with darker inks, so I used the Denim and Schoolhouse inks from the kit. To add the color I used the inks from the kit and applied them with wet wipes, rubbing the color into the canvas so that the embossed portions would show, then wiping off any excess color I didn't want. I applied the Schoolhouse first over the entire piece. Then I added a little bit of denim until
I was happy with the result.

I don't like having a solid edge from my stencils, so I always tape a piece of
scrap paper on the edge so that it feathers off.

After I glued my paper down, I applied gesso through the stencil and let it dry.
Once dry you can pile on the embellies to your hearts content!

How cute are those little buttons!!!!???? The mini roses are from the November Kit
and I added a few more from my stash.

The sentiment was trimmed from the journal block sheet included in the kit.

I added some seam binding here as well.

I wanted some dimension to the project so I used foam tape on
several pieces.

So there you have it- this is a really fun technique, that is not too messy!

Be sure to give it a try and let me know what you think.

May The Flamingos be with you :o)

Multi Canvas Mixed Media Project - Frosted Designs

Hi everyone in blogdom :)
I am just back in town and getting caught up,
I promise I will hop around to all of your blogs
in the next day or so! Thank you for all your lovely comments!!

Today I have a project to share using the fabulous
November Mixed Media Kit from Frosted Designs.

This kit is fabulous!!

I am so in love with this layout! The papers and embellishments

from the kit are just amazing. I don't use a black background

very often, but I thought it would really set these colors off!

To create my backgound I cut the papers from the Nov Kit into random strips, inked

them and layered them under the large center mat.

For my photos I used three mini canvases and inked them with
the Mixed Media inks from the kit. For this larger canvas I
added the lace and small flowers from the kit to embellish it.
