Beauty Mixed Media Layout by Nicole Martel

Hello, friends! Nicole here with another mixed media layout I created using 49 and Market's Serenity collection along with some Shimmering Matte Acrylics.

I used the Bohemian Blue and Vintage Mercury acrylics for the background and man do I love how it turned out!! I seriously want to frame this and hang it somewhere...

Believe it or not, the background was super simple to create and I am going to share how I did the background using a piece of packaging and some paint.


I added a teaspoon amount of the Vintage Mercury and dropped it onto the packaging and then I smooched It around the packaging to spread the paint out a bit. Then I dabbed it all around the base of the layout. I followed the same steps with the Bohemian Blue.

What do you think? I absolutely love these colors together and they mesh so well together with the paper collection I used.

I love BLUE...it's my favorite color...and this little cluster of butterflies and greenery makes my heart happy.
