Everyday is a gift - Mixed Media layout

Mother nature is restoring her beauty back with spring season making its entry😍 

When Corona is keeping us all inside home, the one good thing it is doing is taking us back to our roots, Mother Nature. The air around is way less polluted. We listen to birds happily chirping away 🐦 Beautiful butterflies having thier sweet time with the endless options of newly bloomed flowers🥰🦋

We are getting closer to nature with each passing day 😇 And we realise that "Everyday is a Gift" 😇

My project here is trying to showcase the vibrant colours of spring and the beautiful flowers and butterflies that comes with it 😍

I made this mixed media layout using various mediums and techniques . The main element here is the resin embellishment from @archana.sehgal 

I primed it with gesso, then coated it with chalk paints and metalic waxes of my choice. For more detailing on face I used 3D liners. Beneath this element I added a layer of golden and beige husk to give an additional texture to my project.

Did some stenciling with mixed media paste to give 3D effects. Different kinds of flowers from handmade paper flowers, formarian flowers, fussy cut printed flowers, satin flowers with metallic stamen etc. The next major element in the project are the butterflies 🦋🦋

I decoupaged few of them to the base using decoupage tissue sheets, some fussy cut peper ones and few metalic ones 😁

No mixed media project is complete without the deco stones and I love the texture it gives to the projects. I colored them using splash colours first and then a touch of gold to give a glam effect.

When I look at this project, I can surely feel the spring  🥰 

Do let me know what you guys think about it 😊

Thank you for stopping by!
