Today I have for you another mixed media piece featuring a bit of red. This project has only a few touches of red, but boy does it pop...that is the power of red. Even a little grabs the limelight.
This was done using a large piece of corrugated. I added a couple smaller pieces as well. You can easily use a sturdy canvas art board for the base of this as well.
I added a background using a napkin from my stash and kept embellishing from there.
I added more corrugated that I had previously prepared with gesso. I then added a bit of green ink to pull from the green in the napkin.
I also added a few pieces of chipboard that I painted out with a pale pink.
Next, came that pop of red with beautiful red rhinestone cupchain.
Next, I used a couple pieces of fabric scraps to which I added a bit of gesso. I colorized the gesso by mixing in a bit of glittery white paint just for some added sparkle. When the light hits it just right you catch that glimmer...so pretty
Next, I added DIY flowers made from Tyvek envelopes. This is done by cutting different sized circles from the Tyvek (see the link below), inking them, then "burning" them with a heat gun just until they melt a bit and curl up creating a petal of sorts. Hot glue all circles together and then add a gem, bead or button to the center for the finishing touch.
I also added a bit of detail with white dots and white splatter.
Feel free to pin the photos to your Pinterest pages.
Hope you enjoyed my touch of red project today.
Have a great weekend!
