Creative Artiste Challenge Blog - Anythin Mixed Media Mixed Media

  Time for another great challenge over at Creative Artiste. 

Our theme is as always 

"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your projects. Please respect that we do not currently accept Instagram or Facebook entries. 

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.

This is my March project for Creative Artiste. 

Creating my collage. 

I had started this mixed media board but did not care for it so I decided to re-think my plan and add some collage details. 

I used a combination of papers, acrylic paints, stencils, molding paste and a mixture of papers from my stash.  I love the sentiment Richelle Goodrich, it was the inspiration for the collage along with the butterflies I collected in my stash. To complete the collage I added orange cord to the sides of the frame. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to view the different projects of our creative design team. Hope you will join us this month.  Just create your project and enter it here.
