For me the key to mixed media is to layer and layer and layer.
So, to begin, I took one of the MDF hearts from the pack (you get 6 in each pack) and covered it with some of the paper from the IndigoBlu Memory lane stack.
I then added one of the Bo Bunny doilies to the right hand part of the heart.
I chose an image from the IndigoBlu Lost Families stack and cut her out. Then glued her down.
I then chose a stencil, this one is the rose stencil from IndigoBlu and using the Fired Brick Distress ink on some of the blending foam, worked it through the stencil to cover most of the heart except her face.
I stamped the sentiment, a stamp is from the Visible Images never grow up set, and cut it apart. Then glued it down.
To colour the edges of the MDF heart and give a slight border to my collage, I used the Cosmic Shimmer Gilding wax in Decadent wine. I applied it with a cloth and then buffed it up to a shine. I find dried out baby wipes are good for this!
To finish it off I add some stick pearls and used some of my chalk crayons to give it a grungy feel.
So as you can see lots and lots of layers!
