Creativity is Contagious

Splashy Mix Challenges has a colour challenge this month. 

For the purpose of this challenge mixed media is an artwork in which more than one medium or material has been used. There is no definite rules and definitions. No end point

We are free to create our projects with different mediums, textures,colours, layers, objects etc

Unleash your creativity through this art. 

This is the mood board for the challenge. I believe the colours are so striking. 

We would love to see what inspired you, hence please mention it in your post. Check out our blog to see the special prizes our sponsors are providing to our lucky winners. 

This is my canvas I created for the challenge.

I created this canvas using a couple of  stencils,acrylic paints, gel, Posca and  Pitt pens.  The large flower is metal and came off of napkin ring that I recycled. The saying is one of my favorites about creativity.

Altered Glass Plate with Rice Paper

This is my project for the month of August at Creative Artiste.  As always the theme at Creative Artiste is anything goes as long as it is mixed media and/or altered art.

This is what I started with

I decoupaged this glass plate I found at a thrift store.  I  just loved the shape of it. I used my scraps of Stamperia rice paper using Pentart  Decoupage Varnish and Glue for Ceramics. There are 3 different rice paper patterns for the design.  I first decoupaged the rice paper to the bottom of the glass.  Once I was  satisfied with the design  and the the papers were  dry I  painted a couple of layers of white acrylic paint on top of the rice paper and then painted a couple of coats of dark green acrylic paint.  To complete the project I added Glamour Metallic Paint in rich gold  along the edges of the plate.

I decided to use the rest of my paper on a white candle and the base I made for it.

At the Beach

The theme of the challenge this week at Crafty Cardmakers is "Here Comes Summer".  I can not think of summer without thinking about going to the beach.

The stamp I used to create this card as a TryFolds card called Beach by Art Impression although I did not create a tryfold card. .  The image was coloured with Copics, pencil crayon and a Posca pen.  I also used real shells, sand  and a texture stamp by JRL Designs.

Into the Forest I Go

Time for another challenge at Splashy Mix Challenges

Here is my project for this month's challenge.



I am avid hiker and live in a very beautiful mountainous area of British  Columbia.  I live with the forest at my door steps.  I can be found everyday hiking the hills with my dog, Lacey. 

These walks in nature make me who I am. It gives me time to reflect about my day, plan my upcoming projects and be inspired by nature.

I used inks, paint, a texture stamp and Pan Pastels to create my canvas.

Altered Heart Bottle

Time for another challenge at Creative Artiste this month.  My project this month is an altered mixed media bottle.  large XOX pin, metal butterfly and crackle paint. 

This is what I started with

To create my bottle I painted the outside of the bottle with white gesso then started to add my findings to the bottle.  Some of my findings were dollar store gems, flea market jewelry, lace,  napkin ring, and drawer knob. I used acrylic paint, crackle paint and Rust Effect by Pentart.

Altered Hidden Compartment Book

Time for another challenge at Altered Eclectics this month.  The theme as always is anything goes but must be altered art. My project today is an altered compartment book.   I found this compartment book at a garage sale.  It was made of cardboard and in pretty rough shape.  I first used gesso to  coated the box before painting the box. I covered the box with  two different pieces of Stamperia rice paper.

back  and side of book  

I added a cord to the back of the book and used some small beads (for sand), crackle paste and distress ink for texture  and shells (real and vellum) and couple of  sentiment.
