Blend the colours as you go.

 Hi Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a mini mixed media art panel I've created using the usual mixed media supplies: paints, texture paste ( both matte and crackle), stamps, stencils, washi tape and mark making 'tools'(eg lids and old store cards).

For the stamping I used AALL & Creates 'Reckoner Digits' stamp designed by Tracy Evans and one of the number stamps from Katzelkraft 'Les Nombres' stampset with Jet Black Archival ink.  

The stenciling was all thanks to Tim Holtz distress texture paste applied through AAll & Creates 'Lotsa Dotz ' stencil.  For the mark making I used an old store card and tiny lid dipped in black paint. A few light splatters of white and black paint and the background was ready for its focal feature. 

 Hi Everyone and as its my first post of 2022 Happy New Year to you all. 

I'm sharing a grungy art journal page with you today that I created using paints, texture paste, stamps, stencils and washi tape.

I had no preconceived ideas/ plans of how the page would turn out I just went with the flow, followed my creative muse and here's the resulting page ...

The dot stamp from ESA02 was stamped with white acrylic paint, the long slim stamp from ESA16 stamped with a couple of Archival inks: Garden Patina and Jet Black. 

Then some textured stencilling using Tim Holtz Distress Texture Paste with That's Crafty's Dinky 'Screwheads' stencil. 

Some pen drawn stencilling too using white and black pens with That's Crafty's Dinky 'Bubbly All Over' stencil, oh and some white paint splattered around the page.  

Torn strips of some of the words on AALL & Creates #5 washi tape were then adhered to the page at various points along with a thin offcut of the brayered page placed either above or to the side of the words.  

Art..

Possible'.

My page was then matt n layered on a panel of white card before being adhered to a black journal page.

 

 Hi Everyone, 

Unfortunately due to a few unforseem 'life' curve balls this last week my creative time has been very limited so todays make is very much an example of something you could make if ever you find yourself short of time. 

It's a bright, cheery and colourful birthday card (we always need those don't we? ) and no matter what your creative ability or style you could create something similiar giving it your own personal touch. 

 Hi Everyone, 

Today I am sharing a mixed media card , though the design would also lend itself to being a piece of wallart or maybe even a journal cover aswell. 

To make a real feature of the butterfly I stamped it again on white card, water coloured it with distress inks, cut it out and after manipulating its wings adhered it to the stamped butterfly on the small focal panel. 

Manipulating the wings gave the butterfly a sense of movement and the card some dimension.

As butterflies are often seen to symbolise change, transformation, endless potential (amongst other things) I thought one of Tim Holtz small talk stickers provided some suitable words for the card: 

....Everything is Possible
