catching up with other family too.

Imagination is ART!

Our New Anything Goes Challenge at 

Creative Artiste Mixed Media is Live!

I still have my girlfriend visiting and we had a day

of getting messy! We had a great time and

introduced her to the gel press to name just one.

And so our Mixed Media makes began.

We decided to create something similar

Here is hers.

As you can see they are pretty similar.

A few close ups from mine!

As I said earlier we had a play with the gel press

and my background is from that.

Added stenciling, stamping, cheesecloth,

art stones and some waxing.

Just a quick post again. So much happening atm.

Our visitors will be moving on to more travels soon

as I then head north to spend Mother's Day with

one of my daughters, grandchildren and their

young toddlers. So looking forward to seeing

our great granddaughter for the first time. 

Head over and see amazing Mixed Media

from the rest of the Team and hope you

get time to create for our Gallery this month.

Guest Designer at Try It On Tuesday

I was thrilled to be invited to be a 

Guest Designer at  Try It On Tuesday

after being chosen as a Top 5 at a recent challenge.

How awesome that their New Challenge is to

Use a Stencil.

Those that know me are well aware of how I

love using my stencils is all different ways.

For my Guest card I used a fabulous stencil from

Scrapmats - ST9088.

I started by adding texture paste to my heavy card base.

Once dry I got out my Lindy's Magical's

and let the colours run through the cracks

to achieve the gorgeous colours.

My dragonfly is from ARTplorations, die cutting

the main image from leftovers on my glass mat.

Cut one again only using the wings and body

for added dimension.

She was popped on top of cheesecloth

and finishing with a vellum sentiment

from STAMPlorations. 

Adhered to matching bright card stock.

Have you been over to check how the

talented TIOT Design Team chose to stencil?

Hope so and  inspired you to create yours 

and add to the Gallery.
