For the entire month of August, we're challenging you to use stencils and modeling pastes on your project. Any kind of thick texture paste will work and we encourage all sorts of different projects! Link up whatever you want, just follow our monthly theme :)
This month our random winner will receive a $25 gift card from Eclectic Paperie! They are a fantastic online crafty boutique, so the lucky winner will surely have fun shopping :)
I created a bright scrapbook page and used a lot of modeling paste in the background. My dear friend Nikky just got married last month! I got the color inspiration from her wedding colors; black and pink (and my teal earrings!).
I mixed my modeling paste with some teal Gelatos to get the great color. I then scraped it over my DCWV doily stencil. I repeated this stencil three times on my layout.
The black borders were also created with modeling paste and DCWV stencils. I mixed my paste with a little bit of black acrylic paint. After the pastes were dry, I painted a haphazard layer of white acrylic, layered various pattern papers to mat the photo, and then added chipboard accents. All papers are from the new DCWV "Melon Twist" paper stack, embellishments are from Maggie Holmes/Crate Paper.
Make sure you visit the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge blog for all the details! You have until August 31 to link up your project to the gallery, and be entered to win a gift certificate to Eclectic Paperie! Can't wait to see what you make!
