October Love Mixed Media Layout

Good morning, friends. Nicole here with a fall layout I created using the Ballet Slipper Shimmering Matte Acrylics. This mixed media layout took a different turn as I was creating, but that's OK!

To begin, I tried dry brushing the acrylic over the stencil, but the paint smeared underneath the stencil.

I decided to use a silicone brush to smear the paint all over the white cardstock and you can see some of the hearts... so I decided to use it for a border for the layout.

Next, I painted a few pieces of wood veneer.

I am happy with the turn of events for this layout and the pink boarder adds a nice touch to the layout with the pink wood veneer leaves.

Isn't that paint beautiful!? It adds just the right amount of shimmer.

I love how versatile paint is... and it doesn't need to be complicated... Just started painting and enjoy the process.
