Mixed Media for Creative Artiste

It's  Creative Artiste Mixed Media Time

and here is my project for September.

It has been a hectic month with family and 

not too much craft time - and is ongoing

as this goes live I will be at the 

tip of Australia with family celebrating

my grandson's wedding.

Hence something simple and a few photos

to show you a little bit of how my tag came together.

Time was running out so didn't take photos of

 the other embellishments as I added them - sorry!

 

Started off with cardboard and

added some lovely dp from my stash.

That came about because I had the flower

in a drawer from years back.

Adding some stencil work from AB Studio

with Liquitex paste and Lindy's 

Have a Scone Heather shaker.

then lace on the side

adding a row of pearls,

die cut a tiny frame, popping the centre

after die cutting some flowers with pearl centres.

Found some scrap bits and used them for

the leaves in the background.

Inked the seam binding and ribbon adding it behind

the flower that has now found a home.

Tied ribbon to top of tag and that completes

this month's Mixed Media Make.

Head over and see what my Talented Team Mates

got up to over the month creating

fabulous mixed media pieces for you.

Then it's your turn to showcase yours

and add to the Gallery.

Off to finish the wedding card, packing etc

and enjoy a full on family celebration

and come home happily exhausted.

 

The Moment!

 It's again time for our Monthly Anything Goes

MIXED MEDIUM CHALLENGE at

Creative Artiste MM Challenge

Once again I seem to have used 

much the same colours as last month.

Maybe because the tag die is a bit grungy also and

 saw This Tag on Pinterest and since I had recently

purchased that set I cased her fabulous MM tag.

oh! and a few more sizzix butterflies wanting to be useful.

I started with - 

adding on 

die cut squares and lots of inking

and crackle paste that didn't adhere well.

Added some smooched blue to the squares

to blend with the butterflies

coloured with Lindy's Magical's and Brusho's.

I don't know why the screamin' banshee black

has gone a very deep blue so added a touch of black brusho's.

Added some cheesecloth, 

side bits, black and white splatters.

Decided it needed something in the middle

and a few embellishments beside the added butterflies

with added black pearls.

a couple of close ups!

Head over to Our Blog and check out

what is in store for you from 

our Guest Jenn Borjeson and

our Talented Little Team

and go have some Mixed Media Fun

(using several mm elements)

then add to our Gallery.

Love to see you there.

Creative Artiste Mixed Media Make!

It's that time of the month for me to

show what I created for our New Anything Goes Challenge

 over at Creative Artiste Mixed Media

I am a little disappointed how this finished

as it wasn't what I had planned but

I wanted to use a new die and it went from there.

Once I start in a Mixed Media zone I sometimes

get carried away. It did start off that way

but somethng towards the end didn't pan out.

The process is always fun and this is how it started.

My new die

Inked up the insert with Distress ink

and Lindy's Magical's then

used a favourite AALL&Create stencil

and added some grungy stamping from Arden Creative Studio

then a whole lot of bits and bobs

The butterfly had been sitting on my desk for ages

so no need to die cut another one like I had planned.

then it all came together.

I had a bit of trouble glueing the frame

to the black base

as it was only on heavy card stock

then the insert was tricky also.

a close up!

and there you have it.

My talented Team Mates have once again

been inspirational with their Mixed Media Makes

so head over and check them out if you haven't done so.

It is a pleasure to check to see what they have been

playing with each month as our styles are so varied.

Hope to see you get creative this month

and add your Mixed Media to our Gallery.

Be sure to use multiple mediums

 as that is what our challenge is all about

 and just having fun.

 

My Creative Artiste Mixed Media Make...

Today's post is for our New Challenge at

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media 

where we use multiple mediums on our

Mixed Media creations.

Here's mine!

 

An outside and inside shot!

I have used a heap of products on this 

and to name some - 

Kaisercraft bird cage die

Tim Holtz stamps/inks/sprays/crackle paste

Liquitex Texture Paste

Stencils -Zyneri and AALL&Create

Versafine Inks

and other bits from my stash

you will see from the photos.

and it all started here -

a 5/7 canvas panel corrugated cardboard

with gesso and inks

and the start of the stamping with Tim's Ledger Script

adding more stampng from

Tim's Fading Type and stencil work from

AALL&Create

onto the next layer with more script

and inked edges 

Birdcage is coloured with Lindy's Vintage Caravan Caramel

and attached to a different background as I messed up the first one..

As you can see there is a lot going on here - 

flowers scattered all over my desk, some old ones

from my stash and a few from the punch.

Added a die cut, tags stamped from

AALL&Create, twine and a key.

A little bird and a heap of pearls.

Finished with Wink of Stella on the flowers

and Tumbled Glass Distress Glass in the centres.

A few close ups - 

and as they say "That's a wrap"

If you haven't been and checked out 

what our Talented Team have created 

better head over to be inspired and

then it's your turn to 'wow' us.

Thanks for hanging in there for my long post.

PS - this piece headed over the other side of Australia

for my long time friend who is celebrating her 80th Birthday.

Everything has Beauty!

Hello and Welcome to my post for

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media.

It's our Anythng Goes Mixed Media time 

and here is what I created this month.

We all have times when Mo and Jo go missing and they did

just that recently when I needed to create

 this month's Mixed Media.

So I got out a sheet of MM paper and

 just started some stencil work,

added a bit of crackle, texture paste here and there.

Stencils I use are mostly AALL&Create.

A few touches of Lindy's Magical's,

Inks are Tim's as are some of the stamping. 

There is a bit of shimmer,

a few circles inked from a lid.

The butterfly is Sizzix. Inked the paper edges.

Sentiment is from Tim's small talk.

Here are a 'few' close ups - 

As you can see by the close ups there are quite a few

layers of all sorts.

Sorry for the lack of progress photos as

it was a crazy month and craft time limited.

Just a fairly CAS style Mixed Media.

We have Claudia as our Guest this month so

drop by and check out what Mixed Media Makes

Claudia and the Team had fun with and come join in.

# Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your entries. 

This is a mixed media challenge for cards and projects.

Thanks for visiting.

Nature's Mixed Media

 

It's the first Friday of March (already)

and time for our New AG Mixed Media Challenge at

Creative Artiste Mixed Media

Once again I had fun creating my project for your pleasure.

The cuttings behind it are crotons cut from my garden and

thought I would put them in a pot and hopefully take root

and add more colour to my garden.

It wasn't till I wanted to photograph them that

they came in as a perfect backkdrop.

My Cricut came in handy to cut my pillow box

from soft dp, inking the edges and stamping my florals 

more stmping from Tim's Ledger Script, Faded Type

and Wildflowers

(I cut two boxes just in case)

Put together and add an inked stenciled strip

Moving on - 

inking the florals in bright distress inks and glaze,

another strip and torn inked and stamped cs

to place behind my flower and cheesecloth.

Added some prills to both pieces.

STAMPlorations sentiment to my card.

Also added some finishing touches to the pillow with

wire, cheesecloth and a popped inked number for interest.

and a few close ups...

That's it for another month from me - now

head over to Our Blog to be inspired by what our Team

created this month. 

Look forward to seeing your MM creation in our Gallery.

On a sad note

We wish our Team Mate Jo all the best 

as she bids us farewell for now.

Her talents will be missed by us all.

A personal note!

I have so enjoyed the pleasure of being a 

part of the Team with you Jo and 

hope the future hold much happiness for you.
