Prika: Tissue Holder with Mixed Media Technique-Tutorial by Priyanka Gupta

Hello crafty people!

I am Priyanka Gupta from ‘Memory Keepers by Priyanka’. Today I want to share with you guys a tissue holder which I made using mixed-media techniques. This is my third attempt at mixed media and hope you guys like it.

Here’s a step by step process on how I made it.

List of supplies used:

➤ MDF tissue holder

➤ Black Gesso

➤ Honey comb Stencil

➤ Charcoal texture paste from CrafTangles

➤ Chipboard corners and flower elements

➤ Metal embellishments (use whatever you have)

➤ Resin angels

➤ Metallic paints from expression crafts (raw umber, Tuscan red, Hunter green, bronze moon)

➤ Alcohol ink(splash blue gold) from little birdie

➤ Metallic wax- fire ruby from crafTangles

➤ Rose Paper flowers

➤ Deco stones from immix

➤ Soft gel Medium from immix

Process:

Step:1. First I covered the MDF base from all sides with heavy black gesso and kept aside for drying

Step:2. Then I pasted the chipboard corners and flower elements as shown in the picture and covered them with gesso. Kept aside for drying.

Step:3. Then I took the honeycomb stencil and applied the charcoal texture paste through it with a palette knife on left over plain surface of the mdf. Let it dry.

Step:4. Then I dabbed the corners and the chipboard element on top with metallic paints- red and gold. Pasted all the metal embellishments and chipboard elements and paper roses and deco stones on top with the help of soft gel medium from immix.

Step:5. Then I pasted some honeycomb chipboard pieces as shown in the picture for a 3D look and covered everything with black gesso(even the top where we have put all the metal embellishments)

Step:6. Then I sprayed the gold blue splash(alcohol ink) on top and painted some elements with the metallic paint(hunter green) to highlight them.

Step:7. Then I brushed the base with raw umber metallic paint and also on the sides.

Step:8. Then I brushed the Tuscan red metallic paint on the flowers and clock chipboard.

Step:9. Then I brushed the remaining flowers with bronze moon metallic paint.

Step:10. Then I used the red metallic wax and brushed the chipboard corners, angels, honey comb chipboard, flowers, clock and deco stones with my fingers to highlight them and give it a glossy look.
