Comfortable & Cozy - Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Hello to all crafty friends!!!
I have a new project share for you all. I have made yet another Mixed Media Layout after the tremendous response I got after I made the PRECIOUS MEMORIES layout I made last month which you can view by clicking HERE. My last layout was very feminine with loads of bright blossoms....so this time I decided to experiment with a cool color palette with hues of Deep aubergenies, lilacs, teals, turquoise and baby blues along with some krafts, beige, white, browns and blacks....I really hope you guys like this one.

Now for the process how I made this project.
I started this mixed media piece on a egg shaped chipboard piece which I fussy cut and gave it a coat of gesso. I then added layers and textures using chipboard pieces and cheesecloth. I gave it all a good coat of gesso and thoroughly dried it.

Then, I made the cross with 2 layers of chipboard, added gesso and then texture to it using a Prima Marketing Fading Floral stencil. I adhered it to the front using some gel medum, Once verything was dry, I started to color it using 3 Camel Artists acrylic paints - Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cobal Blue hue, Cadmium Yellow and Cadmium Orange. I mixed these colors with Tinted Metallic paint silver Oak to add a little shine and sparkle to this project.

Once everything was dry, I dry brushed my project with gesso and then added more highlights using Prima Metallique waxes - Vintage Gold and White Gold. The sentiment is handwritten by me and adhered using gel medium.That finishes my project and I hope you all find some inspiration in it. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day ahead.
