Prika: Inspired by Art:Mixed Media Folder Cover by DT Jaishree Bansal

Hello Crafty People,

Today I have a very special project to share with you all. I created a mixed media cover for a 15x12x3” folio folder. I created this folio folder as a box in which I can carry my paint supplies while travelling. I got inspired by all the left over & unused broken colors, brushes and paint tubes and decided to create my cover with them.

This project is very close to me as it truly brings out the art in our craft. So, without further ado lets dig in!

I created this on an A3 size white pastel sheet cut down to 15x12”. I used medical gauge to add my first layer of texture along with some stenciling here and there. I used impasto paints to color my elements and the background. I finally topped the colors with metallique waxes to highlight the elements from the background.

I finished the whole look by adding a chipboard cutout word inspire put in a frame and distressing the edges with distress ink. Here are some closer images of the project. Hope you all like it as much as I enjoyed making it.
