Nature Lover - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new canvas about nature.

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy


I primed the canvas with white gesso as usual. Then, I used different pastes to cover the background to obtain an uneven surface. I used paper paste, modeling paste, and Light modeling paste. The paints will react differently with each paste, and I want to obtain this result. I layered different shades of green (Avocado, Emerald, and Lime Green) and black liquid acrylic paints.


I primed all the chipboards with white gesso too. I painted the Strawberry #2 leaves with Avocado liquid acrylic. I mixed some carmine and crimson to obtain a lighter shade of the girl's pants to paint the strawberries and the center of the flowers. 


I used lime and avocado to paint the Boho Feather to add some contrast.


As for the Dandelions, I just painted the flower stems with the avocado paint. 


To finish, I added some glitter.

You are Art - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media panel featuring a photo from @ArtHouseWhimsy from the A kind of Christmas set.


I primed the canvas board with white gesso before adding a design using paper paste. I also added some paper paste to the edges. When dry, I covered the design with clear crackle paste. The result is a barely visible and subtle design that reminds the wing.


I painted the background with Deep Turquoise and Prussian Blue liquid acrylic paints. 


I primed all the chipboards with white gesso and decided to emboss the Geo Panel with grunge embossing powder.


I painted the Flower Posie #4, the Poppy Heads, and the Flower Buds #1 with nude and magenta liquid acrylic. 


For the Tea Leaves and the branches of the previous, I added some black to the nude-magenta mix to obtain a brown. I used this brown to add some shadow to the background.


To finish, I added some pink and turquoise glitter.

Shield - Mixed Media Canvas panel - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media canvas. 


First, I covered the whole canvas with book pages with a gloss gel. Next, I added a design with the Geo Texture stencil and 3D Gloss Gel. When dry, I added a thin layer of white gesso. I kept it very light as I wanted to see the text and remove the gesso from the design with a baby wipe. I painted the background with black, Prussian blue, and umber liquid acrylic paints. 


I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I chose the biggest Moon and colored it with liquid acrylic to match the shield of the photo. 


I used different shades of brown paints to color the Wildgrass #1, the Foliage #3 and #25, and the Fern Fronds.


I added a design to the Boho Skull with white heavy gesso and the Fossilised stencil. I painted the horns with black and burnt sienna paint and the skull with the same color with a hint of orange, but I diluted the colors with water. 


For the Feather Charm #4, I used brown, black, orange, and carmin paints. 


To finish, I added some glitter.

Remember the Now - Mixed Media Panel - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media panel.

I covered the canvas board with Carte Postale tissue paper with the help of a soft matte gel. Next, I added a design with the Lace Stencil and paper paste in the edges, and 3D Gloss gel in the center. When dry, I used liquid acrylic paints to color the paste in the same shade as the photo.


I primed the base of Decorative Scroll #1 with white gesso and the top part with black gesso. Then I covered the base with Gilding glue and waited until the glue was completely dry before covering it with Gold Metallic Flakes. I chose the Gold Black wax to color the top part. 


I primed the Dandelions and the Flower Buds #1 with black gesso and Gold Black wax too.


I primed the Foliage #4 and the Lemon Leaves & Blossoms with white gesso. Then, I used Burnt Sienna and Orange Tiger liquid acrylic paints to color them. 


I primed some Wildflowers with white gesso and used the same color of liquid acrylic paint to color them.


When the composition was to my liking, I added some glitter.

Then, I painted the background with purple, Prussian blue, and black liquid acrylic paints. When dry,  I added some clear crackle paste to the edges of the canvas.  I added more paints to make visible the cracks.

I painted the Wisteria with purple liquid acrylic paint and added a touch of Honey wax.


I painted the Spider Chrysenthemum in blue as well as the flowers of the Daisy #3, and some umber paint for their leaves. I painted the Leafy Frame Set #2 chipboard with blue and umber paint.

Free Spirit - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed-media canvas. 


After priming the canvas with white gesso, I glued crumpled kraft paper to add texture. Next, I covered the paper with white gesso and added white crackle paste. I leave the canvas to dry naturally to allow the crackles to appear. I used black gesso and a lot of water to color the background.


I primed all the cog chipboards with black gesso. I embossed the Fans with a silver grunge embossing powder. I covered the Jumbo Cogs, Mini Cogs, Cogs and Gears, ... with Graphite paste, then black gesso. I highlighted the details with Old Silver wax.


To alter the Cog Cluster and the Insdustrial Border #2 I used an old tip. I covered the chipboards with white glue, then with black gesso. When heated, bubbles will appear and give the texture of wrought iron. I highlighted the details with Brushed iron wax. 


I primed the Leaves #5 and Mini Foliage #5 with white gesso. I used black and brown Distress Inks to color them.


I glued all the elements of the composition with a 3D gel. I added shadows around the composition with a mix of black and brown paints. 


To finish, I added silver glitter.

See Possibility Everywhere - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed-media canvas. 


First, I glued a few scraps of collage paper on the left side of the canvas with a soft gel. I covered the right side of the canvas with white gesso and the collage paper with clear gesso, as I wanted the script to be seen. When everything was dry, I added a design with the Floral Stencil #2 and paper paste. With my pallet knife, I smeared the paper paste carefully on the right side. 


When everything was completely dry, I painted the canvas with a black liquid acrylic paint watered down. Next, I used two shades of grey mica to add shine to the background. I used the darker one on the right side and the lighter on the left, again to allow the script of the collage paper to be seen. 


I primed the filmstrip #2 with black gesso and the rest of the chipboards with white gesso. I just distressed the edges of the flowers with black ink. 


I started the composition with the larger elements: the Filmstrip #2. I cut the Wildflower #5 into smaller elements to add under the photo along with the Daisy #3. Next, I add, the Christmas Berries #1 and the Wildflower #5.


To finish, I added silver glitter.
