Be Unique - Be Strong

Welcome to my post with my October project for

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media

It's always fun getting a little inky, using products in my stash

and adding layers and fun sentiments.

I was going to use a canvas but what I wanted to make

didn't fit either size so went with watercolour paper

adhered to cardboard backing for strength.

It all began with my AB Studio stencil

adding sand grit texture paste. When dry I sponged with

Tim's Hickory Smoke. Then coloured with Crackling Campfire

and some splatters

Die cut and inked up for my first layer.

then dulled the colour with Hero Arts Unicorn pigment ink

and adding some splatters. Deciding to only use two.

With the leftover ink I die cut a frame for my second layer,

smooching, stamping, more splatters

and inking the edges.

oops! forgot to take photo of the stamping

My main feature came in handy as it was  

a 'spare' left over from another make.

It is Tim's leaf die coloured with an abundance of

Lindy's Magical's, sprays and powders.

Adding another element with a favourite of mine -  

inked cheesecloth.

Die cuts and frame were popped,

finishing with inking the main background

and smooched sentiments from

AALL&Create.

Mixed Media can be daunting but

it is a lot of fun so I urge you to just

have a go and play around with whatever you have

and see what results you achieve.

You may surprise yourself . 

Hope to see your efforts in our Gallery.
