Creative Artiste Mixed Media Make!

It's that time of the month for me to
show what I created for our New Anything Goes Challenge

I am a little disappointed how this finished
as it wasn't what I had planned but
I wanted to use a new die and it went from there.


Once I start in a Mixed Media zone I sometimes
get carried away. It did start off that way
but somethng towards the end didn't pan out.
The process is always fun and this is how it started.

My new die
Inked up the insert with Distress ink
and Lindy's Magical's then
used a favourite AALL&Create stencil
and added some grungy stamping from Arden Creative Studio
then a whole lot of bits and bobs
The butterfly had been sitting on my desk for ages
so no need to die cut another one like I had planned.
then it all came together.
I had a bit of trouble glueing the frame
to the black base
as it was only on heavy card stock
then the insert was tricky also.

a close up!
and there you have it.

My talented Team Mates have once again
been inspirational with their Mixed Media Makes
so head over and check them out if you haven't done so.
It is a pleasure to check to see what they have been
playing with each month as our styles are so varied.
Hope to see you get creative this month
and add your Mixed Media to our Gallery.
Be sure to use multiple mediums
 as that is what our challenge is all about
 and just having fun.

It's a 'REAL' Oldie!

Welcome to today's post for  
I'm Hosting this week's Die Week Challenge
and thought it time we dust off an 
old favourite die and show it off again.
I knew when I chose this weeks theme just whch 
OLD set I would use.

A big WELCOME to our 
July Guest Designer Bonnie Klass.
We are in for a treat this month as we all know
how talented Bonnie is.


Yes you guessed it - 
Tim's famous Tattered florals. I googled it and
it came out in 2010!
Would have to be one of his best sellers and
most likely my first Tim Collection.
I die cut a bunch and inked them up in various pinky tones
with Lindy's Magical's, Tim's inks and stains.
Scrunched them up and adhered them in front of
some leaves twigs and flourishes, Sisal straw and art stones.
Background is DP.
Added pearls to the centre of the flowers.

and a close up!




Head over and see what our Guest Bonnie and the Team
 chose as their OLD FAVOURITE
and dig out one of yours and add to our Gallery.

Just Hello!

The Lovely Lisa is our Host this week at Just Us Girls
and it is our popular Anything Goes Stencil Challenge


I went with a CAS design here 
stencilling lightly with white texture paste
onto kraft card stock cut on an angle for interest.
The flower is die cut several times and
 layered for depth in white 
to match the background.
Added a textured die from Kaisercraft
behind the flower.
STAMPloration sentiment is torn 
and popped.
Head over and see what our Guest Kellianne
and the Talented Team chose to 
showcase their stencils.
As this is the last challenge of the month
I want to thank Kellianne for sharing her talents
with us this month as our Guest.
