Mixed Media Make for Creative Artiste

Time just flies by so fast and it is time to show you
what I have been getting messy with this month for
It's always fun to just go with the flow
and see what comes about.
My canvas is certainly not what it started out to be
and that quite often happens doesn't it.
It all started with black gesso on canvas then
adding some Art Alchemy Red Wine Metallic Paint
and heavy duty white gesso,

 some stenciling with some Transparent Texture Paste
and Heat Embossed with Lindy's Pumpkin Fiesta
then on to the bird cage with heat embossing with Zing Blush
 and Art Alchemy Butterfly Spells Sparks
 and stamping
colouring chipboard with Brusho's
and Lindy's Magical's
adding die cuts for dimension
 and a tiny glittery bird
then  my flowers, some touched up with
Art Alchemy Waxes
On to some Art Stones keeping them natural
with a touch of  Wax.
Several waxes were also added around the edges.
Black gesso was added to some pebbles and 
finished with Art Alchemy Indian Red Wax.
Phew! think I have it all covered now.

Pop over and see what the girls have made
for your pleasure this month and if you 
liked what you saw - add yours to our Gallery.

Thanks for taking the time to come visit
and you liked what you saw.
Love to read your thoughts!
Till next time
