Hello friends and Donna Downey Artist Gang fans!
Today I have something special for you! I prepared a mixed media journal’s cover with embossed background, it’s a bit grunge and vintage and a bit romantic – it’s the real mixed media piece and the mix of styles! This „grunge” vintage look was created by using some tricks you can find on the video I prepared for you. The most important trick was creating the embossed 3D pattern with this kind of weathered surface and the second important trick was using mists & pencils to create shadows around my composition. This gave me this vintage & grunge look on my journal’s cover. Hope you liked both, my video and the project I made especially for you!
