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.

Time to 'Shine' with a Stencil

Hello and Welcome to STAMPlorations
Time for the new round of challenges.
You all know mine is for the Stencil Challenge.


Check out all the details for the

My creation for this month is CAS
as I wanted to try a technique I haven't done
for ages - using leaf flakes - silver here.
(and it wasn't messy and no sticky fingers)
It's one of the new sizes and they are simply super!
I used double sided sticky paper and added the flakes
through the stencil. The sticky outline from the stencil was then
covered in Elizabeth Craft Design Cool Diamonds Glitter.
I added a silver mat before inking up the
 ARTplorations Lupinus around the edges of my 
purple card stock in Tim's Wilted Violet.
Finished with a glittered gem.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used.

Wish Upon a Star

It's April Fool's Day so don't get caught with
all the silly things that happen today.
I'm not here to fool you but to show you my make
for our New Watercolour Challenge over at 
It's Anything Goes with the Option
this month of Stars!




I started by doing a galaxy background
with Tim's Oxide Inks, drying each time 
till I got a nice night sky.
Cut out on an angle and adhered to
my background of lightly inked stars.
Splashed a Perfect Pearls mix for twinkling stars.
My Wish Big Dies are new ones from
CUTplorations which were inked also
with oxide inks.
Punched a few stars spritzed with PP.
Finished with some Starform strips to the side.
Do you still have a container full of these like I do?
Card base is from Bazzill.
