This is my project for this month, an art journal page using a napkin from my stash along with my paints, inks, stencils, gel plate, glitter beads and dyes. 

To create the background to my art journal page I used my gel plate, acrylic paints (green, aqua blue, gold, white) and a stencil.  The wolf's face is an napkin that I got from a friend at a get together. I thought it was to pretty  to use as a napkin. 

Once I added the napkin adhered to the page, added more lines on the wolf to show off his face more. I also adjusted the ears size. I stenciled the leaves over the background and around the wolf's face, added a couple of butterflies, a sentiment and a flower I layered with some die cuts and added gold beads for the center. 

It was a fun project. Lots of colours to play with.

Creative Artiste - February 2024 - Anything Goes Mixed Media

Welcome back to Creative Artiste Challenges.  I hope 2024 is a very creative year for all of you.  There is so much going on in our world that sometimes so nice to hide out in our craft rooms. 

As always our challenge is anything mixed media.  Your project must be Mixed Media and can be an ATC, tag, card, layout, altered art or an off-the-page project as long as you follow the challenge specifications. You must use at least 3 different mediums on your project to qualify for our mixed media rules.

This is my project for this challenged, an altered wooden canister. 

I made the project as a gift for my 4 year old granddaughter to store her little treasures in. 

This is the wooden canister  I started out with. I love using the wooden canisters as my canvas because they allow me to be creative and make something that I can make a to use as a gift  or a box can be used as a gift box. Most of them I have found in thrift stores foe vey little money and they usually have a plastic liner which means the box can hold cookies etc.

I sand the boxes then add my gesso, acrylic paints, assortment of inks, glitter, gel pen, stamps, die cuts, copic markers, Nuvo and findings. 

I hope she will like her little gift. It was fun to make. Thank you for stopping by and have a creative month. Remember to check out all of the projects of our talented design team members.  Hope you will join us this month.
