a layout and tutorial with Mona Pendleton

Hi there and welcome to the 13arts blog. It's Mona here to share a layout featuring a variety of fabulous 13arts products. To create the background, I combined pretty papers from the Timeless and All is Love collections. 

The title was made using one of the many verstile wood sentiments from Timeless Subtitles:

I added color to the metal flower embellishments using the following 13arts mists / inks: Pearl Mist ~ Brown, Pearl Mist ~ Navy Blue, Chalk Mist ~ Chalk Dark Brown, Chalk Mist ~ Chalk Turquoise, Water Ink ~ Navy Blue:

To create the trio of clock embellishments, I adhered acrylic dots to 13arts patterned paper, then trimmed around the perimeter:

Here are several step shots I took along the way sharing my creative process:
Apply a thin coat of Gesso ~ Acrylic Primer to the background and embellishments:

Apply Pearl Gold paint to background and embellishments:

Randomly apply the following 13arts mists starting with lightest color first allowing to dry in between applications: 13arts Ayeeda: Pearl Mist ~ Brown, Pearl Mist ~ Navy Blue, Chalk Mist ~ Chalk Dark Brown, Chalk Mist ~ Chalk Turquoise, Water Ink ~ Navy Blue:

Randomly apply Gold Glitter paint to the flower embellishments:

Many thanks for visiting!
