Don't Let Go

Don't Let Go

This is a bit of a mix up for me as I've not really tried mixed media before.  I didn't really intend to do mixed media it just 'sort of' happened.  I ended up glueing my paper onto some scrap cardboard as until then it did not have the 'structural integrity' to hold up to the sewing and whatnot.

I've had lots of fun playing around with bits and pieces and slapping on paint and mist.  I just sort of went with the flow and saw what happened.  Let me know what you think!

I put the layout together with the help of Colour Stories Inspiration challenge #143 (below)
Scrap it with a Song Pop challenge - Demi Lovato's - Let it Go
I used the title of the song to inspire my title of Don't Let Go

 

Colour Scheme: All colours used

Evidence: Mixed Media, Pen Work, Cogs and Circles.

Testimony: Handwrite your story

I didn't use the sketch ahove - instead I used the one below from Show Us Your Stuff as inspiration. I rotated the sketch 90 degrees.

 I painted the tree (but not to carfully) as I knew I was going to heat emboss over the top it.  I used La Blanche & Ranger Dylusions stamps to add texture to the trunk and green part of the tree.

 I used a Glitz transparancy as a frame and had yellow lace ribbon just peeking out of the back it.

Ranger Liquid Pearls was dotted on Maya Road blossoms.

Distressed edges of cardstock then rubbed gold paint dabber on edges, I also dabbed onto red alphas to distress.
