Some mixed media fun projects


The Raven Nevermore - Photos of each step are an example of how you can use many layers and colours.
Picture
I started the background by applying 3 different blue distress paints to a 6x6 chipboard with a baby wipe.
Picture
Then some spray stain and ink blended.  I didn't want the spots from the spray on the clouds so I wiped it off with a baby wipe (and my fingers).
Picture
The sunburst was kind of disappearing so I added a bit more yellow ink to it as well as another faint stencil.
Picture
Lastly, I painted the raven with black paint and outlined it with a gel pen.  I then wrote a portion of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" along the outside edge.
Picture
The next step was to add the sunburst and blend in some yellow ink.
Picture
I added a border by stamping with purple ink and blended the outer border.  Using a blending foam with stamps and stencils helps to soften the edges.
Picture
I used black and brown ink to apply a script stencil and drew the outline from a photo I had taken.
Picture
And there you have it!  You can see that some of the elements get very faint in some areas, but that's what gives it such a fun layered look.
