In Art - Instinct is Enough.

Hello and Welcome to my latest

Mixed Media Piece for Creative Artiste 

Each month we have an Anything Goes

Mixed Media Challenge using multiple mediums.

I got a gift certificate for Christmas and only recently

used it buying the Thinlits Insects which I wanted to

 try them out. 

My first background attempt failed so didn't take photos

along the way after that. 

Here is how I started - using Art Achemy Metallic Paints

second  time around!

then adding the Thinlits Insects

to see  where to apply the Modeling Paste

After that I went on my merry way

adding the inked lace, die cut and coloured insects.

I like leaving some small bits of the cut outs. 

Just added to the effect.

Sentiment was cut and popped after heat embossing.

Rubbed the Art Alchemy Waxes and Sparks 

in various places especially around the edges.

Products I used are - 

Modeling Paste, Stencil and Sentiment  from STAMPlorations

Flair (Slimline stencil) Art Is (Sentiment cut up)

Lace background soaked in Magical's

Magical Powders and Lindy's Sprays

Art Alchemy Gold Rush and Emerald Green Metallic Paint

Art Alchemy Waxes Peacock and Vintage Gold

Art Alchemy Sparks in Mermaid Sparkle Acrylic Paint

White Embossing Powder

Thinlits Insects
