Hello SweetiesToday I’m up on Maja Design blog with a monochromatic layout. I chose to work with a beige shading to highlight these photo of the Saint-Martin-d’Ardéche’s bridge (France).

I started with a layer of clear gesso to protect the background. When dry, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste.

While the crackle paste was drying, I chose different papers to go under my photo and distress them with a distress tool.

When the design was dry, I splattered some watered gesso on the background, then I added some Rust mica powder mixed in water and I let everything dry.

I covered all the embellishments (flowers, leaves, die-cut and metallic embellishments) with gesso and dry them. Then I colored everything with some Rust mica powder.

I added some some random stamping and glued all the embellishments.

To finish the layout, I added some glass glitter and micro beads.
