A Party for Two!

Hello Everyone!

It's Denise here today, to share a mixed media party banner for a little fun and romance.

It's always nice to add a little romance and sparkle to our relationships and so I created a mixed media party banner for two and set a little scene for this interlude.

I used a heart tray that I had and added some Juliet goodies and pretties.

I fussy cut some beautiful roses from the Juliet patterned papers to add to my bottles and also tied some twine around their tops.

I made a mixed media banner to add to the romance and let my hubby know how special he is.

Let's get a really close up look at that textured background.

So now to show you how to create this banner.
Start by covering your pieces with a thick layer of texture paste - white crackle. Use a large paintbrush and spread the paste around the banner piece. Allow this to dry.

Now use dark brown pigment ink to colour the edges.  Use a lighter brown to lightly go over the crackle paste and highlight the cracks etc. If you feel there is too much brown, just use a damp cloth to tone it down.

Now using a stickable stencil, place this over the banner piece and with a sponge and some distress ink, ink the pattern onto the banner piece.


Move the stickable stencil around to cover the areas you want to.

Remove and clean the stickable stencil with a damp cloth.
Now add some layered and raised die-cut ornate circles, along with the lettering from the party supplies.  Fussy cut some roses from the patterned paper and raise and add these to your banner pieces.

Romance and letting your partner know how special they are, is certainly underrated.

Have a super, romantic day!
