Birds of a Feather for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge



Hey Everyone 

This month on Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog our sponsor is WOW 


Make sure you check out their site and see the great range of products they have including a huge range of embossing powders
I happen to have one of their moulds that's what I used
 Also don't forget to check out the Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog to see all the creative work the Design Team have made and enter to win


With the Feathers Mould I used paper clay 
It's such a light medium to use and is great on a canvas 
I love how detailed the feathers come out


I decided to add a chipboard house to the top of the canvas like a bird house for the paper clay birds that mum gave me


I used a stencil of lanterns but I thought they looked like bird feeders


Once I glued everything down with some Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive Glue (it's great because it really does dry quick and it's very strong)


I then used some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dusts in Sunflower, Candy, Lollipop and Amber 
Adding a little bit of one coloured powder at a time 
Sprinkling it with the tip of a small brush then spraying water and drying each colour before adding the next colour 



I used some Colour Mica Powder Cool Mint  mixed with some Dorland's Wax Medium over the top of all the raised edges 
And by heating it, it went into the grooves as well so it made the feathers details stand out more


Making sure to get colour in the grooves of the feathers as well
I added a few white flowers because if you've seen my work and know me you know there has to be some flowers somewhere LOL 


Thank you for visiting and I hope you come back soon x
