A step by step video on making this mixed media project using items from Dollarama, AliExpress, Prima Marketing (Scrapbook.com) and Dusty Attic. Learn how to make your own background using a makeup sponge, acrylic paints, stencil, oil pastel, archival ink and crackle medium.
This is a longer video tutorial to give mixed media beginners a general idea on the process that a mixed media project goes through.
I made this as a wedding gift to my co worker who just got married.
