Doing What I Love!

It's time for our New Anything Mixed Media Goes at

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media

Here is my make for October.

It all began with - a splashing of colours

and some stencilling from AALL& Create

and Tim Holtz

I die cut a bunch of Hexagons and 

one of Tim's Wldflower from

some oriental DP

Did you notice I cut two extra flower heads?

Adding more texture with randomly adding

opaque crackle paste mixed with

Nuvo shimmer powder.

Before it was dry

and after

Added a little bit of interest with some random circles.

and dropped brown Magical's on top and 

behind some of the hexagons to highlight.

On to the flower - attached the two heads

adding texture paste to the centre, roughed up and sprayed

with more Magical's (love the shimmer)

adding leftovers to the left hand corner.

 a twine bow, teeny sentiment

from Tim's Small Talk

and adhered to kraft cardboard base.

That's it from me for this month but be sure to head over

and see what Marvelous Mixed Media Makes

are waiting to be  swooned over by 

our Talented Guest Betta and Design Team.

Hope to see yours there too.

Thinking of You...

My favourite colour challenge - Color Hues latest Challenge is live

and what gorgeous colours for us to play with.

Check out all the inspiration for Challenge #73

from the Talented Guests and Designers.

You will want to play like me for sure.

These colours go together beautifully don't they?

It has been a while since I participated here and 

made time to play - housework can wait.

After seeing Nancy use her gingko dies recently

I thought my completely different ones would

go nicely with these colours.

I inked my SU gingko flowers in Tangarine Tango,

 softer in Calypso Coral. Background

is heat embossed in WOW clear gloss.

Lightly sponged the background

and added die cuts for dimention.

Some have a touch of shimmer.

Finished with die cutting the sentiment

 shorter from the set.
