Hi Marti here, I love how this two page spread turned out! It started with black gesso'ed edges and a little gel medium and stenciling for a bit of texture. Then I sponged on some bright (dark) green and orange acrylic paint and next some Mallard Green Luminarte Silks for a touch of sparkle. it was a little too bright/dark so I toned it down with some swipes of cream colored paint.
I added more layers of paint - pale pink acrylic using bubble wrap, then smaller bubble wrap with Sunflower Luminarte Silks. I wanted to bring out the stenciled designs a bit more so I went over them lightly with some Green Viva Inka Gold using my fingertip. Before adhering my computer generated quote I misted it with Luminarte Radiant Rain - Sour Lemon and Sweet Whisper. After adhering it I decided I needed one more textural element to the pages and mixed up a little Luminarte Primary Elements Powder in Sunburst into some plain gel medium and spread it on through some sequin waste. I sprinkled on a bit of microbeads before lifting the stencil.
This page was done in the same way at the same time and then I wanted to add some flowers. Remember the Paint Skins I made? I decided they would be perfect along with a page from a french book to make the flower layers. Then I added that same gel medium and Primary Elements mixture to the flower centers and embedded more microbeads along with larger seed beads into the gel centers.
I must say I had SO much fun with this. As y'all know I have had a bit of trouble getting into my studio and feeling creative. I decided to just get in there and have fun!
Thanks for visiting.

Hello everyone!
Marti here. I have a fun little Mixed media piece from my Art journal pages to share.
My background began with layers of music and french papers followed by a good misting of Luminarte Radiant Rains in Fern and Teal Zircon - The gorgeous shimmer and color peaks through the additional layers of acrylic paints beautifully!Posted at 08:25 PM in art, Journaling, Luminarte , Marti Wills, Painting, Radiant Rain Mist, Shimmer, Silks, Viva | Permalink | Comments (0)

Hard to believe, these are actually wood plaques not cards!
As a finishing touch I added some luscious shimmering orange swirls! I mixed a bit of Ginger Peach Luminarte Primary Elements into my heavy gel medium and smoothed it on through a stencil. Some large orange pez-a-bling completed them!
Thanks for visiting!
