A Place to Start Challenge - JUNE, 2025 - ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: RECYCLE

 

Time for another great challenge over at A Place to Start. The challenge this month is Anything Goes with an optional twist of Recycle.

For this challenge of Recycle I decided to recycle a birthday card I got earlier in the year.

I used the flower section of my card that I was recycling and cut it out in a circle and layered in with another circle slightly larger in the green of the flower stems. I stamped a birthday stamp on some white cardstock, added  some  distressed ink and a layer of the green cardstock.

The outside layer of the card is some scrap lined paper from my stash. 

To complete my card I added a ribbon, and butterfly from my stash. I also added gold Nuvo to the butterfly and clear Nuvo as water drops on my vase. 

Hope you will join us this month's challenge. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team. 

Have a creative month.

Creative Artiste - May 2025 Mixed Media Challenge

Welcome to another challenge at Creative Artiste. 

Our theme is always

"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your projects. 

The term “mixed media art” is a broad definition that covers many forms of arts and crafts, including collage, assemblage, altered objects, handmade greeting cards, artist trading cards (ATCs) tags and art journaling  as long as you use different mediums.

The “mixed media” used includes paint, paper, pastes, sprays, powders, textural elements, clay, resins, fabrics, found objects, photos, metal, inks, pencils, markers and pastels to name just a few.

The best thing with Mixed Media is there is no right or wrong way of doing things. There are no boundaries or rules to follow, it is all about where your creativity takes you. Mixed media can be kept simple with minimal clean lines, or as fussy and manic as you like. It's a great way to use up your scraps too, we all are guilty of keeping those little bits and pieces thinking it's too nice to just through away, even those teeny tiny off cuts of ribbon and lace.

Mixed Media is also a great way to upcycle because anything goes. Empty packaging, glass jars or bottles can be transformed. Got a pack of cards that have a few missing - turn them into little mini pieces of art. The possibilities are endless.
Make mixed media work for you, don't doubt yourself thinking you can't do this that or the other because it's might not be your style etc., just add your own twist

 to things.

This is my project for May and altered clock.

 

This is some of the materials I used for the clock.

I used a a clock frame from the dollar Store for the base of my clock.

I also used Stamperia rice paper called sea and land collection  for the background of the clock along with some Stamperia rub ons. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative month. Hope you will join the fun this month. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to see the projects of our design team.
