Okanagan, BC, Canada
Welcome to my crafting blog. After retirement, my husband and I moved to a beautiful location in the Okanagan area of British Columbia. I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books. I am an active member of several card and mixed media groups and on the design team of several challenge blog. I love the world of blogging, it has opened many doors for me. My favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” I hope you join me in my search for my creative side. Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Artiste - May Anything Goes - Mixed Media Challenge

Time for another great Challenge at Creative Artiste

 Our theme is always

"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your projects.

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 space collage I created using CitraSolv and National Geographic papers. Although I have been using CitraSolv collage papers over the last few years I was inspired by some recent collage Videos by Froyle Art on You Tube.


Here are some closer looks









I had fun making my CitraSolv pages for the collage and I got carried away I have enough for a lot more project.  I am reminded of outer space when I see the patterns CitraSolv makes on the page.  If you are interested in the technique there are many YouTube videos showing different techniques. 

To make my collage I used:

National Geographic pages

CitraSolv

Acrylic Paint

Wooden lettering

Pictures from several different National Geographic 

Inks

Sharpies

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.  Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our creative design team.
