Hi! It’s Melissa here with a fun mixed media tutorial to share with you today. I have a "Sign of Hope" to share with you. I hope you enjoy seeing the process I used to create it.
1. I started with an unfinished board that I had laying around the house.
2. I printed out a large sentiment onto a 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of removable sticky label.
3. I fussy cut the letters out, being careful to create a stencil to use later.
4. I removed the back of the label and adhered the letters to the board.
5. I started adding color with distress ink, through the Shower of Flutters Stencil/Mask.
6. I continued to sponge on color using the Big Bloom Factory stencil.
7. I continued to add color through the bloom stencil.
8. I masked off part of the sign and adding some silver embossing paste over the butterfly mask. I also sponged on some white pigment ink to outline some of the butterflies.
9. I removed the letters/masks.
10. I masked off the "Hope" and sponged on white pigment ink.
11. I continued this process until all of the words were white, but the wood grain still showed through.
12. I outlined the letters with a silver glass pen.
13. I added some white highlights with a white acrylic paint marker.
14. I hand wrote the verse reference.
That's all I have for today.
I HOPE you enjoyed this tutorial and look forward to reading your comments!
Grace & Peace,
