Well, I have given it a go, what, you may ask...mixed media is the response! :)
My first mixed media project is complete and is now available for sale via Ebay.

This is a purple MDF key rack for you. It comes complete with hanging twine and is a one off!
It started out life as a printed item which I did not like. So....I covered with a couple of layers of gesso to give it a fresh base to work on.
I then added a base purple floral paper, using some Indigoblu 'Slap it On'. I sanded around the edges to merge the paper into the MDF to ensure it did not lift.
I then started to add some detail in by painting over the floral design (I used Pebeo Acrylic Pearl Paint), stamping some flourishes (using the Pebeo paint and also Distress Inks).
To add further detail I then added some texture using a coarse texture paste and stencils. I also then added in some Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste in Frosty Heather - both the pearl and the glitter!
I then looked at adding various embellishments. I chose a variety of fabric flowers, metal keys and chipboard flourishes. All items were covered with a couple of layers of white gesso to allow paint to adhere. I then used the Pebeo and Cosmic Shimmer paints to ensure all toned in.
My first project complete....I have a couple of others planned now - will post some details as they progress....thank you for looking and I hope you like what I have created.
