Got a little carried away with this week’s Mixed Media Recipe Card and really took my time over the creation.

Often I see dragons as a theme in creative projects. I’m not sure if it is the mythology or the scope for imagination that draws folk but I decided to see what I could come up with.

So, here is the next in the series.

Lots of texture and magical sparkle going on in this one.

Interested in knowing what I used and how I did it? Then read on dear friend.

Method

This is how it was done.

1. Cut lots of lots of circles from lightweight cardstock using the circular paper punch and glue them to the surface using the PVA glue and let this set for a few hours.
2. Give the whole thing an even coating of the Pébéo Studio Acrylics 43 Cadmium Green Hue paint using the flat head brush. Let this dry for a couple of hours. Wash the brush out with brush cleaner and set aside to dry.
3. Next, using the silicone spreader, apply a thin layer of the Pébéo Vitrail 17 Turquoise. By stroking the medium in one direction – towards the overlapping ‘scales’ – you will encourage a denser settlement of colour that will help highlight the scales. Let this dry for a good few hours or, preferably, overnight. Wipe the silicone spreader down with a wet wipe.
4. Finally, repeat step 3 with the Pébéo Fantasy Moon Apricot being quite forceful with the pressure so that the gold mica settles around the overlapping areas of the scales. Let this dry for a good few hours or, preferably, overnight. Wipe the silicone spreader down with a wet wipe.

Ok, that’s it for this one. Cool and creative, eh?
