It's about being a bit 'ARTY'

 

The current 'Theme & Sketch Challenge' at

STAMPlorations is 

 

Details are Here

 

You can go with just the 'Theme' which is Mixed Media
or the 'Sketch'. I went with both.
 

I love getting my hands a bit inky with Mixed Media

and am just a beginner at it so when this challenge

called for just that I knew what I was going to play with.

I started with ARTplorations Nestled Circles Stencil
using Silver Metallic Paint & Gel Medium.
After that was dry I got all inky with
watered down Jo Sonja Deep Yellow on a paintbrush
and began to 'splatter'.
Again I waited till that dried.
The floral image I used is
STAMPlorations Bloom Happy
It had been heat embossed with Zing Charcoal.
and cut  with the CUTplorations Matching Die
It was coloured with a variety of inks & paints
adding dots from a white uniball pen and popped.

   

Here is a closer view of the depth of the 

silver metallic acrylic paint.

Added a few grey splatters to the background.

 

The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I thought it a perfect match for the sunny flower

which was heat embossed with Zing Metallic Finish

to blend with the stencilled background. 

 

 

I used an EK Success corner rounder punch

and added a metallic silver piece of paper

to the side then popped that to finish. 

 

I am so loving all my new goodies from STAMPlorations

and being part of the Talented Team for the next 3 months.

 

Hope you will go over and join in the fun like I did.

 There are so many different prizes to be won

and if you aren't in it - you can't win them.

 

I am going to pop this card over at Dare2bartzy

 for their Something New Challenge

'cause I got lots of new 'stuff'

 

and Happy Little Stampers January Mixed Media Challenge

 

I've got 'Layers'

 

and their Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies

 

and I used a Die

Hope I can join both challenges with this card.

 

Thanks for coming to visit.

Hope you will come back again soon.
