My Creative Mixed Media Make

It's time for my monthly Mixed Media Make for

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media

I had a lot of fun creating this piece

(including the most colourful fingers)

with a whole bunch of different mixed media products

which spread all over my desk and beyond.

Luckily some were able to be put back in their rightful spot

before continuing on another day.

I started by picking my colours using

Tim's oxide's in Crackling Campfire and Peacock Feathers

through my new AALL&Create Cherry Drift stencil

flipping it first and inking then

reinked it and coloured

Adding some extra colour with

Art Alchemy Metallic Fresh Orange

and Emerald Green paint.

The inky fingers came from the hours spent 

colouring my TH dragonfly

using them to get coverage on the ox inks

before starting on the dramatic colours below.

Here's the products that cluttered my desk

Stampendous Aged Copper Enamel, 

Lindy's Pumpkin Fiesta E/P, Gecko Green Spray,

Tim's Ground Espresso,

AA Mint Sparkle and Patina Green Wax.

Some were used on a sheet of W/C paper

for my Spellbinder Hexagons

with some added random stamping

Next I will add a couple of floral dies to place

behind the dragonfly.

I inked the edges of my project and

the hexagons, added some gold posca splatters, 

a strip of washi tape,

some cheescloth behind the flowers

 and one of Tim's Quotations.

Attached the dragonfly with a pearl to the centre.

Decided not to add the other piece of the die

as it covered up the bright orange tail.

Embossed some metallic paper with

Couture Creations E/F, framed with orange leathergrain c/s

framed with the metallic paper

 and again matching coloured paper and onto cardboard backing.

Attached brads and paper clip with added patina wax.

Here's a few close ups - 

And there you  have it!

Oh and it finally finished at  7/12" by 9''
