A dear friend recently gave me a Mixed Media Canvas
and I fell in love with the concept. I have always admired
that sort of craft and since we were at
a Craft Show - what better time to buy a few products
required for this type of art.
Just by chance I saw a blog called Stamps & Stencils
with a challenge that caught my eye Here
This gave me a chance to experiment and try my hand
at a bit of mixed media. I must admit I just went with
the flow hoping what I did turned out okay.
I love using corrugated cardboard and string
so that was my choice - middle row down.
I have used so many bits and bobs here but will
endeavour to list a few.
Gesso and gelatos for my flower - just played with it
and didn't know if I would even use it.
Kraft card stock
Corrugated cardboard and the piece I pealed off
was used for my tag.
I used Tim Holtz distress inks
SU and Memento inks
Bokeh stencil for my circles
Scrap DP torn and inked adding script
from Kaisercraft stamp.
Texture Paste and paint to the cardboard
My flower consists of a Marianne Die
and DieNamics Die inked and a centre pearl
Added the necessary string
Sentiment is from Altenew
I must admit I enjoyed playing with this
but it left my craft room and my fingers in
an awful state.
I would also like to add this to the
Ooh la la Challenge for their
Challenge #209 Texture
Thanks for dropping in
and love to read your comments
on my practicing Mixed Media.
