Mixed Media Decor – Express

I took  a monogram small letter ‘e’ as my base. Then I sanded it to make it smoother.

Step 2

Applied Little Birdie Stone texture paste and Glass bead gel medium.

This process helped me get the grungy look that I was aiming for.

Step 3

Once it dried, I applied black gesso

Step 4

Stuck my elements, i.e. Little Birdie chipboard, paint brushes and resin elements. Once stuck, I let them dry before priming it with black gesso.

Using dry brush technique, I applied Muted Teal chalk paint as my base coat followed by Sailing Sky chalk paint. I let these 2 coats dry and applied Bubble Gum chalk paint randomly on the elements. Finally applied Orange Splash to give a shadow effect.

Step 6

Once the chalk paints dried.. I applied Little Birdie metallic waxes – Berry Glaze, Antique Gold and Copper.

Step 7

Using Gesso, dry brushed on few elements that I wanted to highlight. Also, added sentiment  ‘Express’ that justifies the base letter.

Hope you enjoyed step-by-step tutorial as much as I had fun creating it.
