Creative Chaos for Creative Artiste MM

 Well the heading says it all!

Welcome to my 'finally finished' project for

this month's challenge at

Creative Artiste Mixed Media

I thought I had chosen something simple

and make another Mixed Media with a DVD!

Wrong!

I added gesso to my dvd then lots of colours

with a mix of sprays/powders then - 

it all went wrong after that.

I wanted to add some black text.

I used a stencil and that landed up the

biggest mess so of course I wiped what I could

off and all the lovely shimmery colour went with it too

so for some shine I added some clear rock candy.

Next mistake was the wrong colour spray so wiped that

and found I had a nice coloured cracked background.

To diffuse the darkness I stenciled randomly

with white texture paste. This then gave me the chance

to add text but this time stamping with Archival Ink yay!

I am thinking at this stage I am going to salvage this.

Had a play around with my dream weaver chipboard

adding umteen different colours to try and blend in with 

my background. It needed a backing which I was happy with - 

after more stenciling/inking. Decided I needed yet more using 

Stampendous Embossing enamel but the bluey speckles

didn't front (darn) but looked okay with the bronze.

Still needing more I added some 

white and coloured cheesecloth. Added a big gem

and a sentiment sticker from Tim Holtz to 

finally have something finished just in time

to add with my Talented Team Mates creations at

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media Blog Post.

As I wasn't sure it would really turn out I

didn't take progress photos as they may have just been binned!

Here's a few close ups!

There you have it! A bit chaotic but I 

got there in the end. Sure hope you don't

have any issues when you create yours for

this month's challenge. See you over in the Gallery.

Thanks for taking time to visit.
