Mixed media teapots by Madhurima

Hello hello everyone,

This is Madhurima here and I am super excited to be a part of the WOW embossing team as a guest designer for the months of September and October. As I am an avid tea lover so I thought of celebrating my joy with you all by making cute little mdf teapots in mixed media style. Here is the picture of the project that I will be showing you step by step.

Now lets dive into the procedure. I am afraid its going to be a tad bit long but I promise you that its gonna be fun. So, grab your tea or coffee ( whichever you prefer) and lets begin.

Step 1: Prepping the base

First and foremost, I will be prepping two mdf teapot shaped panel with a couple of coated of which gesso followed by a very loose coat of the dusty pink impasto paint.

Next up I will be adhering two pattern paper from the Mintay "Graceful" collection over the mdf cutouts.

Step 2: Adding interest to the background

After that, to add interest to the background firstly I have added a bit of stamping with a text stamp from Entomology stamp set from Tim holtz and shadow grey archival ink.

Next to mimic the polka dot pattern running in the background, I have used the lotsadots stencil from WOW Embossing and with a texture paste have applied on top of the teapots.

While the texture paste was still wet I had sprinkled the Halo WOW embossing powder and have heat set it.

Next I have used my Lindys starburst sprays to add some amount of color to the background.

Step 3: Prepping the die-cuts

To build the main composition I have used quite a few die-cut elements all of which are from Fantasy dies and have used distress oxide inks to color them.

To add more bling to the die-cuts I have used a few of the WOW embossing powders in the variant blushed and lime crush

Apart from the foliage die-cuts I had decided to keep a few of the other diecuts in white so have embossed them with the Opaque white embossing powder followed by the Halo embossing powder to add that beautiful shimmery effect.

Step 4: Building the composition

Once all the embellishments were ready I have arranged them in layers by adding pieces of cheesecloth, flowers, fussing cut elements and the ofcourse the die-cut elements to make a cute composition each on both the teapots.

As I have made the two teapots in different colors i.e., one pink and the other one purple so accordingly, I have used darker shades of pink and purple to add shadows to the composition. 

And in the end I have used a few mini art stones and glitters to finish off the project. Here are the close ups of the teapots. 

I do hope that you all enjoyed my project today. See you all soon with yet another fun mixed media project. Till then bye bye and take care.
