Mixed Media No. 3

It's time for our Anything Goes Challenge at

Creative Artiste Mixed Media 
and here is my project for August.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to make so

rummaged through some of my Mixed Media bits

and this is the result.

I decided to cut up a really thick piece of cardboard 

that my watercolour paper came in and applied 

heavy gesso with my new silicone brush.

I liked the way it came out uneven.

I then cut up some chipboard from

Which Craft Do You Do and started placing my bits

to see where  and what I would use.

after I had gesso'ed the pieces.

I then stenciled my cardboard with Memory Box

Texture Distress Grid

and placing my elements and cheesecloth 

ready to gesso.

 adding some large and small art stones

This is when the fun part starts by adding all the colours.

Some of the products I used are

Lindy's Spray's/Shakers - Caribbean Blue 

Cowabunga Copper, Afternoon Delight Denim,

Ken Oliver's Metallic Copper/Coral

Nuvo Shimmer Powder - Blue Blitz

Imagination Craft - Rusty Patina

Art Alchemy Waxes - 

Mint Sparkle, Fire Ruby, Peacock

Mermaid Sparkle Sparks

Stamped sentiment on to a piece of an ice cream stick.

I got so into adding the colours I forgot to photograph the process.

Here are some close ups

That's it for this month.
