Vintage in Lavender

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a 12 x 12 mixed media layout for Gina's Chipboard Laser Designs.

I found the flourishes,leaves, and butterflies both beautiful, and a pleasure to work with. With their delicate shapes, I think they complement the vintage photo perfectly.

To decorate the chipboard I first prepped them with gesso. The purple flourishes and butterfly were painted with Twinkling H20's . After they dried I quickly smeared on diamond stickles with my finger. While wet I dabbed on Pearlex Powder. I added silver stickles and bling on the butterfly. The gold flourishes are gold ink brushed on. The green leaves are chalk ink with "veins"scratched on with a straight pin. The little flower by the lower right of photo is greenish blue pigment paint, Lindy's spray, then purple chalk ink dabbed on with a small piece of cosmetic sponge.

There are pressed lavender buds above the photo. The pearls at the upper right are a piece of an applique by Tresors De Luxe.

I describe how I did the bg on my blog, and there are more close ups too. http://melissalarson57.blogspot.com
