To begin, I used matte medium to glue one of the vellum papers to the page. As the matte medium I used was quite wet, I got several wrinkles in the vellum, but I'm not worried about that as it adds another texture to the background.
I then chose the ephemera I wanted to use from the Urban Blue Denim mixed media pad and cut it out. The bird came from one of the papers in the pad and I kept some of the bits of paper that I cut from around it.
Now the matte medium was dry, I applied ground espresso distress oxide through the Enigmatic Essence stencil and fadd jeans distress oxide through the Beaded Curtain stencil to add depth to the background.
Finally I added the ephemera to the page using matte medium.
I hope you like what I have created and here's a list of the products I've used.
