Mixed Media Challenge

We have a mixed media challenge at Come and Get It challenges this week and this canvas is my project this week. The cute steam punk image is called Sad Teddy Bear and is by one of our sponsors SLS Lines. 

Our definition of mixed media for this challenge is 

"For this challenge mixed media means creating a card, tag or project using any of the following in addition to the usual stamps, digital images and inks:

Mediums that add texture such as fabric, texture paste, gesso, embossing paste, 

Mediums that give dimension such as die cuts, chipboard, embellishments, recycled material

Mediums used for different techniques and colours such as watercolor, alcohol inks, acrylic paints

Project created using tools such as a gelli plate, stencils etc

In other words a card, tag or project that has at least 2 of the above mediums." 

To make my canvas I used several stencils with molding paste, a selection of inks, die cut gears and  Apothecary bottles by Tim Holtz, acrylic paints, and micro bead.

Inspired by a Movie/Book/Song

Inspired by a Movie/Book/Song is the theme for the challenge at SLS Lines this week.  Whimsical Pirate is the image that I used for my art journal page.  The movie it is bases on of course is Hook.

To make my background for my art journal page I used a combination acrylic paint, charcoal pencil, chip board letters, distress Inks, circle stencil, die cut nautical symbols and rubber stamps. The Whimsical Pirate was coloured with Copics. 

This was a fun challenge at SLS Lines this month and a great start as part of this talented design team. I hope you will join our challenge this month and remember to pop over to their challenge blog to see the projects of that the rest of the design team created to inspire you.

Guest Designer at Retro Rubber

I am so happy to be a guest designer at Retro Rubber Challenge blog this week.   I made this card for their "winter scene"  challenge this week. 

The idea of this challenge blog is that they require you to use at least one rubber stamp that you have in your stash that is over a year old.  I have used several stamps by a friend, Lisa Yang of Local Rubber King.  The card was made with using three snowman stamps along with a sentiment by A Muse Artstamps. 

The piano player can be found on the Local Rubber King blog but I think the cello player and drummer are no longer available. I extended the hill line and added a couple of snowflakes to tie the 3 stamps together.  I coloured the image with Copics and added Deep Impression embossing enamel for the snow. 

Thank you Retro Rubber for inviting me this week. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. 

Personalize It

The theme at Incy Wincy Designs is "Personalize It".   This is my card I made for this challenge.  The image is called Wise Dragon by one of our sponsors Fabrika Fantasy. 

I personalized my card by making it a birthday card for my 7 year old grandson, River.  I added his name and age to the card. This was perfect image for a little boys birthday.

 I hope you will join us this week at Incy Wincy Designs.  Pop over to their challenge blog to see the creations that the design team have created to inspire you. 

Love is in the Air

 "Love" Is in the Air" is the theme of this weeks Come and Get It Challenges.  I have used a digital stamp from Star Stampz, one of our sponsors this week to create my card this week.  The image is called Be My Valentine.

I kept my card simple this week to show off the cute image.  I think the couple is just adorable. 

Thank you for stopping and come join our challenge this week. 

Monsters in Love

I has so much fun making this Love Monsters card  as my inspirational post for SLS Lines. 

I used a gelli print from my stash for the background and used it's colours  for the colour scheme of my card.  I like using gelli print because it allows me to then use non-traditional colours. I make many gelli prints when I have my paint, inks and supplies out. They are so handy for making art journal pages and mixed media cards.  If I have one that I especially like I will scan it and use the print over and over again. 

 My Love Monsters  was coloured with Copics and I added some die cuts and fabric flowers to complete my card.   I know my hubby will enjoy it.   He likes humorous card.  The image is just so cute.

New Releases at SLS Lines

I am very pleased to announce that I am now on the design team of SLS Lines and I have made this card to celebrate the release of their new images just in time for spring. 

The new image I am using is a dahlia and can be found in their Esty shop  along with their other new flower releases and wonderful lady images. There is something for everyone. 

I printed a few copies of the image and cut sections of the flowers and leaves and layered them.  This was the perfect image for laying the image.
