I’m using an inexpensive set of water colour paints. There are 36 colours and I got them from Hobbycraft. They are still a current product and retail around £6. There are other options available too, shop around and check out Amazon too if you are looking to pick up a set. Mixed Media background can be made, very successfully, with a set of paints like this and not much else!
I started off with a sheet of white card. I added water to my paintbrush and activated the paint. I then painted the colour onto a piece of packaging, just a piece of plastic cellophane from an embellishment pack. I then pressed the packaging onto my layout to transfer the colour onto the white background. I repeated this with several colours. I also added splatters in the same colours.
Once the layout was dry I was then able to add my photo and several layers and little journaling cards around my photo. I carried on with adding embellishments, most of which were from the July Lollipop Box Club. I also added Bramble Fox Perspextives: a green circle, blue geotags and some fish. I kept my embellishments colour-on-colour, meaning that I put pink embellishments on the pink area of mixed media and green embellishments on the green area of mixed media.
I finished off with a title and some pretty sequins by Spiegelmom Scraps.
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
