I simply adore, and love, love, love mixed media!!!!!!
But...
it scares the you know what out of me!
had started a new challenge I was so excited!
And then I saw it was a
Mixed Media challenge...Yikes!!!
So I thought and tried and tried and finally I made a card!
First, I chose a pretty patterned paper. I stenciled some areas in white gesso.
I mixed some pink paint and water into the gesso to make a wash and painted this on.
Lastly, I used some TH white Picket Fence crackle paint. Hopefully you can see this.
The butterflies were stamped and then fussy cut. I Modge-Podged them to some black card stock and then fussy cut them out again. I stamped the butterflies on the panel beneath where I was going to adhere them, so their antenna would show. The stamping and squiggles and lines were done with Black Staz On ink. All of the stamps are Tim Holtz.
I was very pleased how this card turned out!
Now onto my second try!!!!!
A journal page!!
This time I even played with some molding paste with the cloud stencils!
I am not liking this page. I feel it is too bright and cheesy!
I think most of the Mixed Media that I see is darker or softer.
I almost didn't post this, but I thought, why not!
The only way to learn is to DO!!!!
Hope to see your creations at
Mona's!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
