Lindy's Challenge: Magical
This post is an entry to the Lindy's Monthly Challenge. You can find details about how to add your own project on their BLOG. You can also find their challenge group on Facebook under Lindy's Creative Gang.
I used this color palette for a 6x6 journal page (#artfulevidence) that I was also doing in another group.
The theme in the 6x6 group was Magical and all I could think of was Lindy's product called Magicals and how this color palette lent itself toward a pretty little unicorn.
I used Lindy's Magicals in Witch's Potion Purple, Hi Maintenance Magenta, and Prima Donna Purple (just a touch as I liked the blue notes in the Witch's Potion better). I used the powders dry and applied touches to a wet page. Then, I added more water from a spray bottle over the top to get the colors to blend a bit more. I like the splotchy appearance of the Magicals so I try not to overblend. Over that background, I added a stencil with Glory of the Seas Gold Starburst spray. It's hard to see in the photos as it only really shows as you move the piece toward the light but it gives a nice layer to the background. To give the background a touch more metallic, I also splattered gold metallic paint over the top.
The unicorn image is a rubber stamp image from Unity Stamps colored with Mermaid markers. The gold accents including the key and ATCoin are chipboard pieces from Creative Embellishments and I painted them with gold paint. Then I just bulked up the collage with a lot of bling I had in my stash.
I really like the way this page turned out and I may be using more gold in my work as it makes a nice pop with these pinks and purples. I tend toward silver with these colors but the gold lends a nice warmth to the piece. I'm excited to add this Magical page to my 6x6 collection!
Thanks for stopping by!
