Monthly Challenge Winner and Prize

Please meet Michaela Svatošova form Czech Republic. with the first tutorial inspired by this mood board.

Hi, everybody!

Michaela is here today with a new mixed media tutorial for Daily ART inspired by this month mood board. This tutorial is all about using many textures and many layers. Some textures dry faster, but with some you need time. I played for two days with this project and will show you what I got. I hope you will like it and try to make a similar one or use some of my tips in your next project.

The first day I have cut a star shape from cardboard. I also have cut few small rectangles from the same cardboard.  I attached the rectangles to the star with Gel Medium Matt by Daily ART.  I love this medium as there are so many ways you can use. I use it in some way in most of my projects.

Then I covered all the surface with Black Gesso.  The surface is already textured but I definitely need more. I have built more texture by applying a layer of Structure Paste with a painting knife through a Diamond shape Stencil.  This stencil is among my favorites.  And in few places uncovered with structure paste, I have applied Crackle Paint. This is transparent paint that cracks as it gets dry.

The second day I was playing with shimmering and shining effects. First painted the surface with silver and gold colors of  Metallic Paint. Then I added color with Mixed Media Spray Inks. When everything was dry I added Glitter pastes, a bit of Patina and attached some Glass beads to gel medium.  I also added scrapbooking papers and paper flowers covered flowers with Patina and Glitter paste. I added few dots with Relief pen- Pearl Black and few gold pearls.

I hope you will try to create with us and you will share your project inspired by our mood board.

Have a nice day.
