Follow Your Heart Mixed Media

I finally had a chance to finish my recent mixed media painting that I started a couple of weeks ago. I got sidetracked with making party goodies for my granddaughter, Destiny's recent 6th birthday party. She had a Descendants themed party and that was lots of fun! But I was in the studio all day yesterday, and not not only did I finish this Follow Your Heart Mixed Media painting, I also did another one (I'll post about that later).

Follow Your Heart Mixed Media


I started with a collage of various scrapbook papers. Then I added some acrylic paints. Then it was time to start layering and adding textures. So I used several different stencils and a few different rubber stamps as well to do that. After doing that I added the heart, and embellished it with a stencil and some markers, and I added the wings with a stencil as well. Then I added a few more rubber stamps, and the lettering.

I really like how it turned out. These pinks and aquas are favorite colors of mine anymore. I seem to just gravitate toward them a lot in the studio. What are your favorite colors to paint with?
