Fantasy LO for Lindy´s Gang / Фантазийный нео-винтаж

Hello, dear friends!

I am here to present my new project for my beloved Lindy´s Gang! This time I prepared a fantasy neo-vintage scrapbook layout with a picture of my dear father, dressed like a medieval Hanseatic merchant.

Here is the video:

Basic Process:

• First, I arranged the background of my layout, combining together two sheets of beautiful patterned paper. I created an arche out of one of the sheets.
• I covered the patterned paper with the matte gel in order to protect it, because I planned to use some mixed media stuff on it.
• After that, I added some shimmering texture here and there, using a texture paste with golden glitter and two corresponding stencils.
• While the texture paste was drying, I decided to prepare the embellishments. I dyed the chipboard very quickly black, using the Lindy´s Gang Starburst Spray Midnight Rendevous Raven. Then I added some thicker paint onto the wet chipboard, using the Emerald Eh?! squirt. And when all was dry, I covered the colored chipboard with the Clearly Clear embossing powder. Now they were sealed and looked like little dark candies.
• Later, I went on decorating the background of the layout. I sprayed the Cattail Copper Brown Starburst Spray onto the areas that had been previously enhanced with the shimmering texture paste. The spray ink looks great on top of the golden base. The Oh Canada Crimson squirt added even more drama to the background.
• Then, I arranged the photo and all the embellishments in a curious composition on the layout. By the way, the mushrooms and the flowers are handmade by my friends! When everything was set, I blended the embellishments by retouching them with the same Cattail Copper Brown and adding some glitter and liquid glass drops as minor accents.

And here come some close-ups of my fairy tale on paper:
