Good Morning all you lovely crafters out there!

Saloni here with a new inspirational post today !! This is a Mixed media altered project again....

Why should the inside of your diary just be filled with pretty art, transform your diary cover with mixed media and simple technique...

So, here's how it looked after all the hard work....

To begin with, I have applied a thick coat of heavy gesso to primed the surface and then fiber texture paste to it. To add some more texture , I have used a brick stencil with texture paste. Once dried, I started adding colors to it. To keep it simple, I have used just different shades of blue with a hint of white. It's such a beautiful color strikingly soft yet stands out pretty loud. Further to embellish the diary, I have adhered some flowers, moss, metal charms .In the end , I have added few art stones, frosting powder & Created white splatter with watered down with white gesso.

Here are some more close up shots...
