Love- Mixed Media Wall Art and Tutorial

Hello friends!
I have a Mixed Media Wall art and fridge magnet to share today along with a step by step tutorial. Here's a look at what I have created :

This wall hanging would make a perfect accent to your craft room or even as a home decor and I have created this based on the current theme this month at Pretty Paper Studio which is “LOVE”. I have a step by step tutorial on how I have created this, so sit back and relax and hope you enjoy seeing the creative process .

 I first started by roughly drawing a freehand heart shape on a recycled cardboard packaging and fussy cutting it and for the magnet, I have die – cut a heart shape using my die directly on the cardboard. I have used papers from 6″ X 6″ Crate Paper pad : Craft Market collection.

After I had cut the heart shape, I cut out the papers from my paper pad and glued them on the cardboard base. (The brown woodgrain & dotted paper). Then it was time to add some texture to the base so I used Tim Holt Lace stencil and embossing paste along with some Heidi Swapp mists to create my background.

This is how the base looks once the embossing was done . On my dotted heart, I mixed some blue mist with my embossing paste before applying it through the stencil.

To create more background texture, I water colored two images from Prima Marketing Everyday Vintage Paintables Cards- Bohemian 4 ”X 6” using my Distress inks and I fussy cut the images and layered them on my heart base.

After I watercolored and fussy cut my image it was time to start embellishing and putting down all my elements on my heart base . I decided to use the Prima Marketing Resin icons in a Box- Chalk Black Lock and Key Sets for this, so I painted it with gesso and colored it with my mist to give it a hint of blue.

After playing around with my embellishments, I finally arranged them on my final piece. I have used handmade flowers and some die cut and colored leaves using Joy! Crafts Die- Leaf #2, added a American Crafts/Amy Tangerine Stamped Myflair Flairs – Embossed Gold along with the Prima Marketing Resin icons in a Box- Chalk Black Lock and Key Set.

 I also made a co-ordinating fridge magnet  to go with my wall hanging :

For the fridge magnet, I have used paper from Crate paper : Craft Market collection 6 ” X 6″ paper pad. I have die-cut a scalloped circle from this paper pad and have foam mounted it on my heart base and used some mulberry flowers and a Prima Resin Icon Key to embellish it, finally used some sequins to finish my project.
