\nThis is my first post as a Designer for CraftAdda and my first mixed media tutorial.. So guys I would definitely love to get some feedback from you :).. For those who hate a picture heavy post, well this is one of them .. So Beware \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
\nI just created a some scrapbook pages recently and was confused as to what to make a cover.. Because I wanted to give it an elegant and vintage look but without using browns or blacks.. Then I went with my favorite color Purple \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo here is how I started –<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI took my cardboard base, colored it with White acrylic paint  and then used my white ribbons to add a weaving pattern as shown below –<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Then I took some Tissue paper and my home made Mod Podge(1\/4th Fevicol + 3\/4th Water) and covered my base with it, I left some space in the center just because I wanted a different texture and wanted the ribbon weaving to show through  –<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nI wanted to create layers, but I did not have much metal embellishments to start with. Hence I used the ones that I have to create the layers –<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Mixed_Media_1_3\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI have used some laces and ribbons, I have also used some buttons, medicine’s cap, bottles cap (The best thing about Mixed media is you can almost use anything to create a textured layer).. I have also used some ribbon roses, mulberry roses and leaves.. Then to add some different textures I have used shaped rhinestones and pearls<\/a> and some Daler Rowney texture paste<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI also added some buttons, thermocal balls, paper clips, different shaped embellishments. Here is the look at the completed cover – <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Mixed_Media_1_4\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen I took my Purple acrylic paint and add copperish look to it I added Fevicrly bronze powder <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Mixed_Media_1_5\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHere are some of the pics from different angles, once I completed coloring (I have added more of the bronze color on the ends to give it an old and antique look) –<\/div>\n

\n\"Mixed_Media_1_9\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"Mixed_Media_1_10\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen I added some ribbon and metal rings to add more antique look –<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Mixed_Media_1_11\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAdded some colored stones to it, to add some color to the overall color –<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Mixed_Media_1_12\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen I took some Maya Road alphabet chipboard from stash, colored it with silver acrylic paint and stuck it on the cover –<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Mixed_Media_1_13\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo that finishes the cover, hope you guys liked the tutorial and use it in one of your craft projects \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

\nLogging off with the sneak peek of the pages inside, which I will share later on –<\/div>\n
