October 2026 Challenge - Crafty Gals Corner, Challenge Anything Goes w/twist "Trick or Treat"

Time for our October Challenge at Crafty Gals corner. The theme of the challenge is as always Anything Goes  with an optional twist/ Trick or Treat.

Hope you will join us this month. Halloween projects can be a lot of fun. 

I have chosen to do a collage of Halloween die cuts for this project. I coloured them with Copic markers, added glitter and gold pen and a rubber stamp for the background. I also used Halloween designer paper from my stash and a couple of rubber stamps for the background.  

I have made this card for my grandson. I am looking forward to seeing his costume with year. Exciting time for a 8 year old..

Creative Artiste - October Challenge - Mixed Media Challenge - Anything Goes

 

Welcome to our October 2026 Challenge

 Our theme is 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. Only correctly linked.

This is my project for October, a mixed media portrait of my mother. I believe my mom was in her late teens or early 20ies in this picture.  She was station at a air force base in northern Alberta. She had lied about her age to get into the air force. 

This is the background I created for my project. 

To create the background I used

• A 12 X 12 wooden frame
• A crochet that I had made for a different project
• An assortment of Acrylic paints in different colours
• Sparkle Paint
• Heavy paper strips  to create a textured back ground
• From my stash, left over circle frames
• Metal pieces from an old belt painted
• Hand crafted butterflies
• An assortment of decorative flowers from my stash
• Wooden flower head from the dollar store
• Wedding dress beading

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop by our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.  Please join us here again soon.
