LOVE - a mixed media layout!!

Hello dearies,
Hope all doing well and soaring high with crafting!
Today, I am in front of you with my inspirational post for the current challenge - Love theme on Splashy Mix Challenges group. Guys do participate in the monthly challenge to win lots of amazing prizes by our dignified sponspors. So, back to the post, here I created a layout that can be personalized easily.
Here are few glimpses of my creation:

Now, it's time to get started with steps how I created this beautiful layout. So, let's get started with pictorial tutorial how I made this LOVE layout..

At the very first I took cardboard of 12"X12" measurement and then pasted pattern paper of my choice over it. After drying I coated it with thin layer of white gesso. Then I added layered papers to fit my picture of related theme or you can also add your personal photo.

Then move on, I added textures near to my photo mat with the help of stencils and texture paste. But before that, I marked boundary to photo mat so that I can add more texture near to that.. It will be perfectly get clear from pics below:

After adding textures, let it completely dry. Then, move on next to play with colors. For covering maximum part, I preferred chalk paints and then to give it shine, I highlighted it with metallic paints. Also sprayed sprinkle mist to give it vibrant hue. The entire process goes on still I didn't get completely satisfied.

Move on to next step, I started assembling embellishments like flowers, wooden chipboards, paper die cuts, clear drops and many more. But I chose almost all embellishments in pink color to give the layout a classy look and as per theme of LOVE!!

After assembling all the embellishments, I added some sentiments according to the theme and then sprinkled black small dots with sprinkle mist for final touch up!!
