Red, White, and Blue...Oh My! Let's Celebrate with Polishing Plaster!
Good morning, friends. Nicole here with a mixed media spread I created using a picture from the 4th of July. The Cayenne, Guilded Azure, and Dove's Wing Polishing Plaster are the perfect mediums for 4th of July projects! I paired them together with a star stencil to create a fun background!
I love using Polishing Plaster because there's no prep needed since there isn't much water in this medium... Also, it works great with chipboard pages, which I am using for today's project. After looking at this, I wished I had used a little more Dove's Wing and less Gilded Azure to make it more even, but I still love it!
Here is a close up of the Polishing Plasters... aren't they beautiful! It's my favorite medium to play with and they are so easy to work with...just grab a stencil and palette knife and start spreading the Polishing Plaster through the stencil.
To begin, I taped down the stencil over the chipboard to prevent the stencil from slipping. Next, I grabbed my palette knife and spreaded each of the Polishing Platers, one by one down the stencil to create a colorful background.
While the Polishing Plaster is drying... I usually work on creating a fun matted background for my picture using a variety of die cuts and embellishments. Once the mixed media is completely dry, I adhere the matted photo to the center of the page. Super fun and simple!
Loving the cluster of embellishments on this spread. Isn't it fun? I glued a few enamel dots to the center of the stars, too.
That Gilded Azure is absolutely beautiful. I'm partially biased since blue is my favorite color.
Have you played with the Polishing Plaster? What is your favorite colors? We'd love to hear in the comments. Thank you so much for visiting today!
