ANOTHER MIXED MEDIA CANVAS

I so enjoyed the piece that I made for the mixed media blog hop that I decided to take another scripture stamp and make a companion piece.  I again used aluminum duct tape, alcohol inks, embossing folder, canvas, Perfect Pearls, a Unity stamp and UTEE.  Here it is:

MIXED MEDIA BLOG HOP!

Welcome ladies to the Mixed Media Blog Hop. This hop will not have a long list because it involves a little more work and it is going to broaden everyone's creativity by introducing everyone to the world of mixed media along with altered which of course everyone is familiar with.

For those who may not know what it is: Mixed media uses things like -

• Paints
• Gesso
• Gel Mediums
• Molding Paste

But it is as simple as using glimmer mist on a tag or using game pieces and alcohol inks.Everyones take on it is different and I hope you enjoy all the creations and GOOD LUCK to the winner!!

GETTIN' SKETCHY SOME MORE!

I am so excited to apply for a DT position over at the new sketch blog 'Let's Get Sketchy'.  For the challenge we were asked to make a layout using this great sketch:



For my submission I started by rotating the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.  I took two sheets of cardstock and some great stencils and ink for my background sheets.  Then I took a sheet of patterned paper and cut it into a similar shape.  I inked my edges, matted my photo, added ribbon, some quilled flowers and a metal flower brad and my title...MY Sister, Mother, Self...and the date.  Here it is:

I got Sketchy!
